I don't know about you, but I don't typically write a review for (or even rate) something unless I had a really terrific or a truly terrible experience, which is precisely why combing through a slew of reviews can be so helpful. Sure, a product can be touted as a best seller or a dermatologist can sing the praises of a certain face mask, but there's something much more forward and relatable about a first-person review. It's the closest thing to a try-before-you-buy situation, and it can be exceedingly helpful if you find yourself on the fence pre-purchase (especially if you're pondering a big skincare splurge).

Of course, there have been, and likely always will be, issues of seeded or fake reviews (we're not going to act like that's not a thing), but if you head to trustworthy retailers, such as Dermstore, which houses all the most sought-after brands and products with authentic ratings and reviews in tow, you'll quickly gain a helpful glimpse into the most effective formulas for what you're looking for.

To streamline the process for you, we researched and selected our favorite top-rated skincare products on Dermstore's website (creating a regimen of sorts) for four different skin types: oily, dry, normal, and combination. Curious to discover the products shoppers love, tailored to your skin type? Keep scrolling!

She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
