In a recent survey of over 1,600 NewBeauty readers, thousands of products were raved about, but five skin-care brands emerged as clear favorites. From sunscreens to serums, cleansers to creams, these brands have won the hearts (and shelf space) of our discerning readers. Ahead, the most popular skin care brands among our readers.

EltaMD

EltaMD tops our list, with 42.8 percent of survey respondents currently using their products. The brand’s sunscreens, in particular, receive high praise. A 76-year-old reader raves, “I love the Elta tinted sunscreen. It protects my skin while giving it a subtle glow. It does not cause my skin to break out or feel dry.” This sentiment is echoed by a 50-year-old user who notes, “I love EltaMD sunscreen. It soaks into [the] skin so nicely and I’m able to apply makeup with no issue.”

I’ve tried many of them and simply don’t see the same results.” Other products receiving praise include the Discoloration Serum and the Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Anti-Aging Cream, which a 43-year-old reader says “works wonders on aging, dehydrated skin.”
