Fitness magazine readers, along with a panel of dermatologists, tested hundreds of new beauty products to find the 56 best in beauty winners. The panel helped the magazine narrow down the 1,247 nominated new products to 280 finalists. These picks were shipped off to the Fitness magazine team of Beauty Club reader testers, who scored each on effectiveness, texture and scent. The result? The 56 winners that will fit into your busy routine – from “complexion champs,” to “mane attractions,” to “sun savers,” and more.
