The 2025 Skin Awards are available now on SHAPE.com here.

This year, SHAPE's editors and dedicated product testers evaluated over 500 skincare launches and breakthroughs, from derm-recommended serums to cutting-edge at-home LED devices, to arrive at a list of over 100 winners. In 2025, SHAPE broadened the awards to include skin essentials for men, tweens, teens, and kids, spotlighting products that reflect the growing reach of skincare today. The SHAPE Skin Awards showcase innovation, but also excellence at delivering tried-and-true formulas with clinically proven ingredients.

"Everything on our winning list is meant to be used with joy and appreciation for your body and what it can do—and that includes aging, the ultimate luxury. Some trends we're loving include subtle and natural fillers, the regenerative power of salmon sperm cream, hair growth peptides, and pre-and post-workout fragrance—a category that's exploded this year," says Jill Di Donato, the editorial director of the 2025 SHAPE Skin Awards.
