This was made for sensitive skin, and I love how clean yet hydrated my skin feels after this.

Dry skin will quickly drink this up. And in seconds, the skin will feel moist.

— Japhet Bong

Totally gentle yet impactful. The combination of exfoliating AHAs with hydrating and soothing ingredients strikes a perfect balance of resurfacing action and nourishment. No irritation detected!

On top of the wonderful formula, you can see that Kayman Beauty has invested in their skincare range. The serum is housed in impeccable packaging that feels totally luxe.

— Juno Ko

Despite the addition of the oil in the formula, the serum is actually very light. It provides just the right amount of supple hydration to the skin without being too rich.

— Japhet Bong

With the amount of botanicals infused in this product, Paloma has somehow found a way to make it smell pleasing.

This filler-in-a-tube has great texture. More importantly, it settles into the skin quickly. It’s the perfect pre-makeup fix if you want to lift any targeted areas.

— Japhet Bong

This moisturiser absorbs super fast into the skin. And the best part? It keeps the skin hydrated for an incredibly long time.

— Kaarthini

I’ve been a Chuck’s sunscreen loyalist for the longest time, so I would totally recommend this to anyone. The texture is cosmetically elegant, so you can wear it on its own or layer makeup over it without worrying about pilling.

Yes, we may have a crazy influx of lip care this year, but this lip mask totally takes the cake. The formula is incredibly nourishing, and you can barely feel it on the lips—that’s how lightweight it feels.

— Najihah Rashid

B&B Labs definitely deserves more love! They're so underrated in the local skincare game. I love this gentle cleansing solution for a cleanser that soothes while it cleans.

— Bay Doucet

For starters, stunning packaging. No notes. But the hardworking formula is what won me over. A pleasing texture, inclusive of soothing mugwort and rejuvenating peptides? Yes, please!

— Najihah Rashid

Medium coverage, crease-proof, and lightweight in texture. This hits all the marks for a daily concealer for me. It also comes in a considerable shade range, so plus points there.

The wand allows you to get the perfect curls in your lashes, and it lasts well throughout the day.

— Kaarthini

A fun and pigmented eyeliner is always something that everyone needs in their collection. Minimal effort, massive impact. And this gives you two options in one go.

— Najihah Rashid

For starters, the colours are quite tanned-skin-friendly. The blush also blends seamlessly with just fingers, so that’s a bonus for me.

— Kaarthini

The gleamy sheen you’ll get from this highlighter is wonderful. If glass skin is what you’re aiming for, this is the solution in a tube.

— PohNee Chin

It may be a lip liner, but it can pull double duty. This works as a very pigmented overall lip colour.

— PohNee Chin

A product that just keeps getting better. Velvet Vanity has updated the formula, and this one totally knocks it out of the park in terms of comfort and longevity. I'm also completely in love with their shade range.

— Najihah Rashid

The rich foam that you can get from this shower gel is truly something else. It cleans well without leaving the skin dry at all. This comes in two yummy scents, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

— Najihah Rashid

It was my first time hearing of Blunies, and I immediately fell in love with their cute packaging and fresh scent. I love a natural deodorant, and I'm happy to report this one works!

— Bay Doucet

My shower ritual never smelled better.

— PohNee Chin

I find the conditioner to hit the perfect mark. It’s nourishing without being too heavy for my hair texture.

— Japhet Bong

I don't know what science was put into designing this, but I felt dry even on my heaviest flow days.

— PohNee Chin

— Najihah Rashid

It’s unique and luxurious, traditional yet easily modern. On top of the delicious scent, the perfume also has great longevity!

— Japhet Bong

A well-blended, warm and cosy fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm the senses. It’s earned top-shelf status in my closet.

— Najihah Rashid

I’m totally new to this brand and so impressed by their packaging and brand ethos! They have beautiful products and incredible storytelling. Loved every scent!

— Bay Doucet

This is a great scent for men. The notes of jasmine and musk totally shine here, but when it settles, the leather begins to gently peek through.

— Juno Ko

— Kaarthini

Leave it to Paloma to curate intentionally. This set features two of our winners this year, and it goes without saying that this is the set everyone should have in their skincare rescue kit.

— Najihah Rashid

I've been taking Happy Hormones for over a year, and it's seen my period go from super irregular to a more regular cycle with less cramping!

— Bay Doucet

Chuck’s has been able to achieve a lot since its launch. A solid range in its offerings, and they have fan-beloved Korean-inspired formulas. They totally deserve this win for their hard work.

— Juno Ko

It has been wonderful to explore what Oaken Lab has to offer us. If you have yet to dive into the brand, it has everything from fragrances to home scents and even incense. Trust that we’ll be keeping our eyes on them.

— Najihah Rashid

Between its pads and the pain relief patches, Blood has managed to alleviate a lot of the pain points that menstruating women are struggling with. For solving an issue that many of us have to deal with on a monthly basis, Blood is deserving of this award.
