WHY IT WON:

A foaming cleanser that actually leaves skin feeling hydrated? Yes, please. Panellist Amelia Alexander shared, “The foam is super soft and fluffy, with no discernible scent. Unlike other bubble cleansers that usually strip my skin, this one leaves it clean, fresh, and hydrated. It helps remove some foundation, though not completely, but for the price, it’s a steal. I’d especially recommend it for combination and oily skin, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing with my own money.”

WHY IT WON:

Looking for a cream that feels indulgent but works overtime? This one from Illiyoon hits the mark. GRAZIA Singapore associate editor Cheryl Lai-Lim notes that “the cream has a thick, buttery texture that feels luxurious but melts into the skin surprisingly quickly, leaving no heavy or greasy residue. From the very first use, my skin felt soothed and deeply hydrated. It gave immediate relief to areas of dryness and irritation and helped repair my skin barrier, which was sensitive from testing other products. It calmed my skin, making it stronger, more resilient, and far less reactive. Now, it’s my go-to rescue cream whenever my skin feels compromised.”

WHY IT WON:

Lightweight, fluid, and effortlessly wearable, these two dermatological sunscreens are perfect for makeup days. Panellist Elle Wijetunge shared, “Avène’s formula is much thinner than typical creamy sunscreens, spreading easily and absorbing without any greasy residue. On its own, it leaves a slight white cast—not stark or chalky—but under foundation, the cast disappears, and my base applies smoothly with a natural, even finish. It almost works like a soft primer, keeping makeup in place throughout the day.”

WHY IT WON:

Derma Lab’s sunscreen is easy to blend with a minimal white cast for a titanium dioxide formula, according to GRAZIA Singapore art director Marisa Xin. She adds: “It disappears completely under makeup and leaves no tackiness or residue. Infused with vitamin E, it gives a little extra hydration, making it feel as nourishing as it is protective.”

WHY IT WON:

Cute, compact, and unbelievably flattering—this tone-up sunscreen from Judydoll is a delightful surprise. Panellist Ng See Min shared, “The packaging is so cute and ergonomic, it actually makes me happy to carry it around. The finish is creamy and tones the skin in the most flattering way, gently mattifying while giving my complexion a rosier, healthier look. It isn’t sticky at all, and it smells great—never chemical. It protects my skin from the sun while working beautifully as a tone-up primer, gripping onto my makeup without turning me into a greaseball after a few hours.”
