WHY IT WON:

Cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate—all in one. Panellist See Min Ng shared, “The formula gently buffs away dead skin cells without stripping my skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. The scent is subtle yet sophisticated, and while I wish the packaging felt more premium, the colour makes it a joy to use.”

WHY IT WON:

For panellist Tanisha Khan, this Kiehl’s body cream delivered exactly what she wanted—quiet luxury in a tub. “The packaging is simple and generous, and the cream—though rich-looking—melts in instantly. The neutral scent is clean and unisex, perfect for everyday use. It leaves my skin deeply nourished without the heaviness of a body butter, and my usually dry legs stayed hydrated all day. Over time, it helped calm and strengthen my skin barrier, especially after shaving or exfoliating. The squalane gives a healthy, lasting sheen that feels like a moisture seal. It’s effortless, effective, and now a true staple.”

WHY IT WON:

For GRAZIA Singapore associate editor Cheryl Lai-Lim, Cartier’s Huile Pure is elegance bottled. “The oil feels silky but surprisingly lightweight, absorbing quickly and leaving my skin soft, nourished, and glowing without a greasy finish. I love that it’s unscented—it layers beautifully with any fragrance. It even works on hair, adding shine without weighing it down. A true multi-use luxury.”

WHY IT WON:

This scrub from Maison Margiela turned an ordinary shower into a full sensorial retreat. “The scent was instantly enveloping the moment I opened the tub—luxurious and soothing in that signature Lazy Sunday Morning way,” says GRAZIA Singapore fashion features editor Pameyla Cambe. “As I massaged it into my skin, it felt warm, and the scrub particles were fine enough to exfoliate without ever feeling harsh. It genuinely felt like a spa treatment at home. My skin was smoother, softer, and the scent lingered beautifully long after.”

WHY IT WON:

With its rich yet quick-absorbing texture, this Aesop classic delivers instant relief to dry, overworked hands. The balm melts in smoothly without leaving a greasy film, wrapping the skin in long-lasting moisture. Its earthy, aromatic scent adds a moment of calm to even the busiest days—an indulgent but functional treat that keeps hands soft, supple, and subtly fragranced.

WHY IT WON:

A brightening supplement that’s as effortless as it is effective. “It comes in a simple blister pack, which makes it really convenient—especially for travel. Just two gel tablets a day, and there’s zero taste,” notes project manager Vanessa Chia. “After taking it consistently, I’ve noticed my complexion looking more even and clearer overall. Even when I’ve spent time outdoors, my skin tone hasn’t deepened the way it usually does. For someone who tans easily, that’s a pretty big change.”
