Celebrities have access to the world’s best dermatologists, aestheticians and makeup artists, so it’s no surprise they’re experts when it comes to skincare.
From gentle exfoliants and soothing spritzes to ultra-hydrating creams and acne-busting treatments, the cult-favorite products below have been tried and tested by plenty of A-listers — and continue to come out on top.
Read on to see and shop the best skincare picks, according to the stars.
Dr. Sturm’s thousand-dollar “blood cream” and Oprah-loved Glow Drops are big hits with the Hollywood crowd. But her line’s hero product is undoubtedly this hydrating serum, which has been praised by everyone from Bella Hadid (who once said Sturm was responsible for “changing my skin forever”) to Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
Emily Ratajkowski shouted out this K-beauty serum in 2020 on her Instagram Story, explaining how she shifted her routine after her “skin freaked out at the beginning of quarantine.”
The product’s since shot to fame (at anything but a snail’s pace, we might add); Alex Cooper, Kyle Richards and Ariana Madix have also name-dropped the viral find.
“It feels really nice … his stuff really sinks into my skin and keeps me moisturized,” the later “Vanderpump Rules” star told the Strategist.
From Victoria Beckham to Khloe Kardashian to Tracee Ellis Ross, countless stars love this cleansing water. Both Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow have called it the best makeup remover out there, with the latter raving on Goop, “It’s unscented, doesn’t dry your skin or sting, and gets rid of all your makeup with a few swipes. You’re left with soft, clean skin.”
Naomi Campbell uses these two-step anti-aging AHA/BHA peel pads to maintain her ageless glow, and she’s in good company: Zoe Kravitz, Selena Gomez and Constance Wu love them too.
“If I want to be really glow-y the next day, I definitely use them,” the “Crazy Rich Asians” star told the New York Times.
Packed with vitamins C and E as well as ferulic acid — hence its name — this serum boasts anti-aging and free radical-neutralizing benefits. Sienna Miller uses it often, Hailey Bieber has called it a “favorite,” and Brooke Shields says she’s “obsessed” with it.
“It’s packed with antioxidants and really brightens my skin, and since I began using it, I’ve noticed a difference in my fine lines,” Shields told Redbook.
Stars like Chrissy Teigen, Kate Hudson and Scott Disick are all diehard devotees of this cream, which is made with the brand’s sea kelp-derived “miracle broth.”
Perhaps nobody loves it more than Jennifer Lopez, however; for years, it was reported that the pop icon slathers the stuff on from head to toe. (She’s since shut down that rumor, but hasn’t been shy about her love for the brand.)
Dr. Harold Lancer is the go-to dermatologist for A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez, and stresses the importance of daily exfoliation to his clients. It’s little wonder that this polishing product from his line’s three-step system is a bestseller; Kardashian has name-checked it as a fixture in her beauty routine for years.
Another tried-and-true celebrity standby? TruSkin. The label’s vitamin C serum has racked up famous fans like Khloe Kardashian and Kyle Richards over the years.
The “RHOBH” star once shouted it out during an Amazon livestream, per Prevention, calling it a “miracle” and saying she could “automatically see a difference” in her skin.
In Martha Stewart’s book, this tinted sunscreen is definitely a good thing. The star said on her podcast in 2024 that she “will not leave the house without it in the morning.”
“I add to it a little serum, so I thin it out a little tiny bit, and I just put it all over,” she explained.
Bethenny Frankel’s outspoken about which budget-friendly beauty buys are just as good as pricey products — she’s called this vitamin E-powered oil the “best.”
“The thing is, when you put it on your body, face and hair, it hydrates and it lasts,” she raved on TikTok. “Like, your legs still have a nice sheen hours later. It’s extremely healing, it’s reasonable [price-wise] and it has a subtle fragrance.”
If you can get past its infamous smell, this holy-grail potion — which is made with vinegar, horseradish and onions — promises to exfoliate, brighten and even clear breakouts. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen swear by it, as do Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt.
Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne and Katy Perry all spritz on this toning mist, with the latter telling Allure that she always carries it when traveling. Liv Tyler even called it her “favorite thing in the universe” in an interview with Into the Gloss.
Bethenny Frankel’s favorites also include this under-$30 vitamin C serum, which she traded for her previous $160 staple.
“Not all vitamin C is created equal; it should function as your serum and hydrate and plump and brighten and it shouldn’t cost you $160, which is what we’ve been paying for good quality,” she said in a Facebook video.
You’ve definitely spotted this pink blemish-busting solution on stars’ Instagram Stories; Kylie Jenner, Lili Reinhart, Bella Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have all sung its praises in the past.
This all-natural salve is ideal for adding moisture to hands, feet and basically everything in between. Julia Roberts, Victoria Beckham and Priyanka Chopra all use it, as does Ashley Graham.
“That s–t is like crack,” the supermodel told Into the Gloss.
January Jones, Shay Mitchell and Jessica Alba all regularly reach for this anti-aging, anti-acne potion, which the latter said she discovered through her facialist, Shani Darden.
“She said it would stop me getting wrinkles and breakouts,” Alba told Hello! “And she was right — I haven’t broken out … and I’ve noticed the fine lines starting to go away.”
While Sutton Stracke famously used this skincare roller on “RHOBH,” her co-star Kyle Richards swears by it too.
“There’s a reason you’ll see it on the show and there’s a reason why so many people go to Nurse Jamie because she knows what she’s talking about,” Richards raved of the tool, which she called “a little miracle wand” to get “rid of puffiness [and] fine lines.”
Speaking of Darden, this retinol and lactic acid serum from the skin whiz’s own brand can be spotted in the medicine cabinets of stars like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Laura Harrier and Chrissy Teigen.
“It smooths out fine lines,” Teigen told InStyle. “Every time I use it, I get compliments on my skin the next morning.”
Tatcha’s got a radiant rep in Hollywood, with famous fans including Meghan Markle, Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez. The latter is partial to this bestselling cream made with Japanese purple rice, telling Vogue, “It’s so thick and yummy that you actually don’t have to use that much.”
Yes, the price tag’s a lot to swallow. But this beautifully packaged cream, which was created by a professor of applied stem cell biology and includes a patented mix of rejuvenating molecules called Trigger Factor Complex 8, has a huge celeb following for a reason.
Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston and Kris Jenner — who simply calls it “the crack” — all love it, and Melanie Griffith and Courteney Cox are such believers they’ve even invested in the brand.
Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and Hilary Duff all have sweet spots for this deliciously scented body cream, which promises to smooth and firm and is fragranced with notes of pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla.
“It smells so good,” Duff told the New York Times. “And now they have a lip balm, and I can’t stop. My son smelled it the other day, and he goes, ‘Mom that smells like Hawaii.’ I was like, ‘I know, let’s go!'”
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Victoria Beckham, Kate Hudson and Suki Waterhouse all swear by this versatile product, which functions as a makeup-removing balm, a cleansing oil and a hydrating milk in one.
Oprah Winfrey included this exfoliating and brightening buy on her 2018 “Favorite Things” list, calling it — along with the brand’s Ceramic Slip Cleanser — her “go-to beauty regimen.” Drew Barrymore’s also a fan, raving on Instagram, “I see a huge difference in the brightening, the tightening and the ‘youthening’ of my skin.”
When it comes to celeb-loved pout products, Laneige is the name on everyone’s lips. Kendall Jenner, Brooke Shields and Kaia Gerber all keep these colorful containers on hand, while Charli XCX even told British Vogue she’s “turned Ubers around” after forgetting hers at home, adding, “If I had enough money, I would turn the plane around, too.”
Created in 1930, this cult-favorite skin protectant works on dry hands, chapped lips, cracked cuticles — and even the crown jewels, as Prince Harry revealed in his 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
While the Duke of Sussex used the ointment to heal his frostbitten penis, we’re guessing fellow royal fans like Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II (not to mention Hollywood devotees including Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon and Kate Moss) prefer it for less eyebrow-raising applications.
This ice roller is a hot commodity in Hollywood; Delilah Belle Hamlin is so obsessed she told Page Six Style it’s “one of the best things to exist,” while Sydney Sweeney’s used it both on “Euphoria” and off-screen.
“I live by it,” the “Euphoria” actress raved to Glamour. “I just wakes me up … I feel like it makes my skin feel good and takes away any puffiness.”
Meghan Markle and Drew Barrymore have both praised this texture- and pore-refining exfoliating scrub made with papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes along with lactic and salicylic acid.
“If you can’t make it in [for an appointment at Somerville’s clinic], a bottle of ExfoliKate will do the trick for that homegrown glow,” the duchess wrote on her now-defunct blog, the Tig.
When it comes to crease-free makeup, plenty of stars are sticking with what works: this Aquaphor stick. Jennifer Lopez’s longtime makeup artist, Scott Barnes, told us he uses the “amazing” product on his iconic client.
Meanwhile, Heather Dubrow picked up the stick after seeing it on social media, telling us, “it kind of fills in the lines a little so the makeup smooths over.”
They’re not alone in their love for Aquaphor; Billie Eilish called the ointment the “love of my life” in a Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, while Drew Barrymore told Into the Gloss, “I put it on my lips like it’s going out of style. I have the tiny tube, I have the industrial tube, I have the tub — I have all of it. I love Aquaphor.”
While this affordable cleanser’s been on the market since 1947, it’s anything but washed up. Megan Thee Stallion, Olivia Wilde, Julianne Moore and Gigi Hadid are among the many stars who’ve sung Cetaphil’s praises, with the latter telling Vogue, “Whenever I’m working a lot, or I’m wearing a lot of makeup, or I’m coming from a shoot, I use Cetaphil because I just feel like it really cleans my skin.”
From popping up on Taylor Swift’s nightstand to residing in Amal Clooney’s and Kate Moss’ medicine cabinets, this cult-classic cream has a serious Hollywood following.
“I always say, ‘You can’t have a beautiful painting without a beautiful canvas,'” Tilbury told Page Six Style of her hero skincare product, made with her “Magic 8 Matrix” of oils and other nourishing ingredients. “When you have great, glowing skin, you feel amazing and everything you apply on top just glides on; your makeup will always look better after using Magic Cream.”
This no-frills formula’s a favorite of Oprah Winfrey’s; the entertainment icon called it “fantastic” on “Good Morning America,” while Ashley Graham told Harper’s Bazaar it “keeps me moisturized.” Made with cocoa butter and shea butter and first released in the 1980s, it’s also a go-to for Zendaya, who’s dubbed it “the best freakin’ stuff in the world!”
Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elle MacPherson and Karlie Kloss are among the many saying “oui” to this French pharmacy favorite, one tube of which reportedly sells every 13 seconds. Lady Gaga likes using it as a makeup remover, Countless Luann de Lesseps counts it as part of her routine — and it’s even the only skincare product Jane Birkin would allow near her face, according to her daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Just call it one of her bare necessities: Kourtney Kardashian spotlighted this all-over body hydrator in a Poosh piece titled “How to Look Good Naked,” stressing the importance of moisturizing “everything — everywhere — at least once a day.”
It’s good for more than just softening skin, however; Zoe Kravitz worked it into her hair in a Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, while Shay Mitchell told Popsugar she “[uses] it everywhere,” adding, “My mom and her sisters’ hair and skin has always been amazing, and [coconut oil’s] all they used.”
Despite her jam-packed schedule, Jennifer Lopez still takes time to stop and smell the roses; she revealed she’s been using this beautifully scented moisturizer for over a decade on “Watch What Happens Live.” Made with rose petal wax and rose hip oil and suitable for dry and sensitive skin, it’s also been name-checked by Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts.
Before Margot Robbie gets all dolled up for a red carpet, she slaps on a sheet mask from this Page Six Style-loved London brand co-founded by cosmetic surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides. “They’re made out of a jelly sort of stuff, and the serum they’re soaked in is so good,” Robbie raved to British Vogue.
Other stars who’ve snapped selfies in 111SKIN’s masks include Victoria Beckham, Bella Hadid, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Priyanka Chopra, the latter of whom called this bestselling rose gold version her “special sauce.”
There’s a reason why EltaMD tops our list of the most star-approved sunscreens on the market; in addition to protecting from harmful UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients like redness-reducing niacinamide, moisturizing sodium hyaluronate and refining lactic acid.
Brooke Shields, Kourtney Kardashian, Sofia Richie, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are among the famous folks who’ve praised the brand’s sunblocks — and Page Six Style editors love it too.
Ask any of Drunk Elephant’s many famous devotees to pick their favorite product, and you’ll likely get a range of answers; Hailey Bieber’s shouted out the F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask, Khloe Kardashian loves the “luxurious” Lala Retro Whipped Cream and Drew Barrymore’s said she sees “instant results” after using the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial.
But those new to the “biocompatible” skincare brand really can’t go wrong with this beloved AHA/BHA night serum, which resurfaces the complexion to improve its tone, texture and overall luminosity. No wonder Vanessa Hudgens is a fan.
One of the most celeb-loved SPFs under the sun, this invisible, weightless and scentless sunscreen — which also functions beautifully as a primer beneath makeup — has found fans in Mindy Kaling, Kaia Gerber, Camila Cabello and Riley Keough, to name but a few.
In an interview with The Skincare Edit, Lady Gaga’s longtime makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, even called it “the sunscreen to end all sunscreens.”
