Cosmopolitan’s 2025 Holy Grail Beauty Awards: The Best Cosmetic Skincare Treatments

“I’ve had RHA in my lips twice, and I’ll never use another filler again. It looks so natural while also adding volume. No one ever can tell I have lip filler—they just think my lips look naturally hella plump.” —BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

“Neurotoxins can be intimidating, especially for newbs, but the Peachy experience makes things so transparent and easy. Your provider will show you exactly how many units you’re getting and exactly how and where they’re injecting them, and the whole thing takes no more than 30 minutes. I went to Peachy for my biyearly ’tox reup in early March and my forehead is looking as smooth as glass.” —LB

“When you need a no-nonsense facial, Silver Mirror is the place to go. They’ve got locations in cities all over the U.S. and multiple facial options to choose from depending on your skin type and concerns. I personally love the Acne Fighting Facial, which utilizes extractions, LED, high frequency, and oxygen to degunk pores, shrink breakouts, and give my skin a nice glow.” —LB

“I’ve tried my fair share of fancy facials promising to make my skin taut and contoured, but I got the best and most noticeable results with Skin Laundry’s new radiofrequency sculpting facial. After three appointments, my cheekbones and jawline look so much more lifted and defined.” —JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR

“This do-it-all facial left me with the glowiest, smoothest, and most even-looking skin of my life. It exfoliates, extracts, and infuses skin with a cocktail of serums that can be customized to give your skin exactly what it needs at any given time. The term ‘post-facial glow’ has never been so literal.” —JH

“I can’t believe I waited almost 28 years to get a chemical peel. This gave me the clearest glass skin of my life. The experience wasn’t painful (albeit a little itchy) and while I was out of commission for a few days (I felt like a snake shedding its skin), the result was blinding. My skin has felt so much softer, looks more radiant, and all around I feel more confident.” —MARY HONKUS, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

“The GOAT of noninvasive firming treatments, Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to heat deep layers of the skin, resulting in collagen and elastin production. The treatment feels spicy and the effects take around three months to kick in, but the way it lifts and tightens is damn impressive.” —LB

“There’s a reason, like, every celeb gets this treatment done before red carpet season. The combo of fractional laser, PRP, and microneedling is like hitting the reset button on dull, tired skin. After one treatment, my skin looked noticeable brighter and smoother—like someone took an airbrush to my pores and dark spots.” —LB

“Microneedling with radiofrequency is my key to ditching dark spots, and Secret RF is my new fave. It is fairly comfortable (a lil spicy but manageable) but still powerful enough that it really works, even after only one or two treatments.” —BG

“Consider this a lymphatic drainage massage on steroids. The device is covered in rotating and vibrating silicone spheres that help improve circulation. Six treatments later, the skin on my legs, butt, and arms feels a helluva lot tighter and firmer.” —BG
