"This viral cleanser has won a Cosmo Readers' Choice Award every single year—it's just that good. It washes off any dirt or residue without stripping the skin, making it ideal for dry skin types. I also love using this when my skin is flaring up and I want to keep my skincare routine as simple (and still effective) as possible."—JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR
"This multitasking face moisturizer is lightweight but is packed to the brim with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides. All the while, it has SPF 30 to protect the skin as it nourishes and hydrates. And it also sits really well under makeup."—JH

"Last year, I was dealing with some pretty heavy-duty hormonal acne on my jawline, chest, and back and I swear this benzoyl peroxide wash is what helped clear it up. It has a great lather, and doesn't dry out your skin either."—LAUREN BALSAMO, BEAUTY DIRECTOR
"This creamy, white shampoo has a delicious foamy lather and is filled cleansers that help break down buildup and oils. As soon as I rinsed this out of my hair, I was shocked at how soft my hair already felt, a strong feat for a dandruff shampoo. As for my scalp? It felt balanced—not itchy or dry or flaky but also not coated in an oily residue either."—BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

"I recommend CeraVe’s resurfacing retinol serum to anyone who is either new to using retinol or wants to try an over-the-counter retinol that’s both effective and reasonably priced. First off, it’s gentle (I’ve never once experienced peeling or flaking from using this—even if I apply it multiple days in a row). Second, it can be used in the morning or at night (most retinols are only suitable for evening use). And third, it works so well!"—LB
"When my skin needs some extra attention overnight, I love lathering this cream on as the last step in my routine. It's filled with peptides and ceramides to replenish the skin overnight, and it's truly great for all skin types. I love it for my dry and sensitive skin, and other members of team Cosmo swear by it for their oily and acne-prone skin."—JH

"This eye cream is loaded with peptides to smooth fine lines and caffeine to awaken and de-puff the eye area. My two favorite eye creams right now are stupid expensive, so while I love them, I'm hesitant to say you must try them. CeraVe's Skin Renewing Eye Cream is a more affordable option I always come back to and recommend to friends."—LB
"This moisturizer is the best product CeraVe makes, IMO. It is constantly recommended by dermatologists and has won countless beauty awards and industry accolades over the years. In my testing experience, it absorbs quickly without any greasy residue and really provides a long-lasting hydrating effect."—LB

"If you're in need of some micellar water (Prime Day is the perf time to repurchase all my essentials like this), CeraVe's is hydrating and removes all my makeup without stripping or drying me out. It also pairs well with the Hydrating Facial Cleanser for a double cleanse."—JH
"I used this when I was first entering the skincare game and I love it for my acne-prone and oily skin. It has CeraVe's signature ceramides, is super lightweight, and doesn't break me out, which is all I could ever need in a moisturizer."—BG
