10 Things NewBeauty Readers Couldn’t Stop Buying in May

MERIT Beauty The Uniform ($38)

Merit launched its first-ever sunscreen in May. The Uniform is a tinted 100 percent mineral sunscreen with light to medium sheer buildable coverage that imparts a second skin, soft blur finish. In other words, it will replace your foundation all summer long.

SkinCeuticals Advanced RGN-6 Regenerative Cream ($195)

ADVANCED RGN-6 Cream was made to bridge the gap between OTC products and in-office-level results; specifically, its goal is to mimic the results of in-office laser treatments like redness and inflammation management, oxidative stress control, re-epithelialization support, cellular energy stimulation, matrix rebuilding and pigment regulation—with no downtime.

La Roche-Posay Mela B3 UV Daily Sunscreen ($35)

If you love La Roche-Posay’s Mela B3 line, you’re going to love the sunscreen too. As with the brand’s other Mela B3 products, the star ingredients are melasyl and niacinamide, which help fade dark spots and even out overall skin tone as it protects skin against UV damage.

Alpyn Beauty Clarifying Facial Oil ($56)

The 2025 NewBeauty Awards winner for Best Face Oil for Acne Prone Skin is Alpyn Beauty’s Clarifying Facial Oil.  It’s powered by retinol and salicylic acid, two ingredients proven to be key players in clearing congested skin and smoothing fine lines.

Jones Road BKLYN ($42)

BKLYN, Jones Road’s newest fragrance, imitates that untouchable feeling of wearing your favorite pair of vintage jeans—effortlessly cool, without feeling overdone—with a mix of lemon, neroli, sandalwood and black pepper. Get it now while it’s available on a limited run; the brand plans to pull it off shelves soon before the “official” launch.

Laura Geller Beauty The Wonder Balm ($32)

The Wonder Balm works as hydrating skin care while delivering a gorgeous tint of color to cheeks and lips. Available in three shades (a neutral that can be worn as a skin tint, a classic pink and a rosy pink), its nourishing, non-drying formula especially enhances the look of mature skin.

U Beauty Multimodal Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 25 ($98)

Say hello to “science-backed suncare meets blurring skincare” AKA U Beauty’s Multimodal Sheer Mineral SPF 25. This mineral–based sun protection doubles as a great face primer before makeup and features non-nano zinc-oxide, pongamia pinnata seed extract, clary sage extract and a bio-inspired skin brightener to create a flawless face canvas.

Vegamour GRO Biotin Gummies ($36)

Vegamour’s hair growth supplement gets the approval from experts. “These gummies contain a blend of vitamins and antioxidants—including vitamins B5, 6, 12 and vitamins A, C and E—that support healthy follicle functioning and neutralize free radicals, which can be damaging to the follicles and promote inflammation that blocks optimal hair growth,” New York dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD previously told us.
