The 2024 Best of Beauty Body Products Winners Have You Covered From Head to Toe
Tester Feedback: “Call me anal-retentive (I am), but I cannot stand scented deodorant because it clashes with my perfume,” says Dall’Asen. “I’m also an Extremely Sweaty Person, which means my antiperspirants need to work without trying to cover up my BO with fragrance. Enter Secret Clinical Completely Clean Invisible Solid, which does exactly that: It glides on smoothly, prevents the drippage of the hottest summer days, and best of all, doesn’t offend my delicate olfactory senses.”
Best Deodorant
Best Deodorant Stick: Glossier Deodorant
Why It Won: Is it really possible to stay stink-free without aluminum, baking soda, acids, or water? Glossier says yes, and our testers enthusiastically agree. The brand’s refillable, simply named Deodorant glides on smoothly, reducing odor with elderberry extract and coconut oil, even absorbing excess moisture with potato starch.
Tester Feedback: “I’m not a huge fan of heavily scented deodorants and I prefer them to be in stick form, so this soft, powdery-scented version from Glossier is perfect,” says editorial assistant Jennet Jusu. “It’s long-lasting and, believe it or not, I actually get compliments on the scent—many people thought it was a fragrance!”
Best Body Exfoliators
Best Body Wash Bar: Nécessaire The Body Bar
Why It Won: Nécessaire The Body Bar cleanses, of course, but don’t even think of calling it just soap. Thanks to a heaping helping of hyaluronic acid, B vitamins, and amino acids, this moss-scented solid is essentially a hydrating, skin-smoothing treatment that just happens to also get you clean.
Tester Feedback: “This was an instant winner in my book because it lathered quickly and easily, didn’t make a stink in my bathroom thanks to its subtly scented formula, and left my skin feeling clean but hydrated afterward,” says Dall’Asen.
Best Physical Body Scrub: TPH by Taraji Baby Buff’d
Why It Won: Forget body scrubs that fake smoothness with an oily finish! TPH by Taraji Baby Buff’d truly exfoliates with gentle yet hardworking rice powder. Skin is left feeling supple and looking radiant with a little extra help from niacinamide as well as lactic and glycolic acids.
Tester Feedback: “The vanilla scent isn’t too intense and the texture didn’t irritate my skin,” says associate manager of special projects Talia Gutierrez. “Bonus points for the tube’s large opening, which makes it easy to squeeze out the product.”
Best Chemical & Physical Body Scrub: First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA Fresh Strawberry
Why It Won: You’ve heard of fighting fire with fire; now you can fight “strawberry skin” with strawberries—and a few other key exfoliating ingredients. In addition to the yummy-smelling fruit extract, First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA Fresh Strawberry comes at keratosis pilaris (and any other bumpy bits) from both the physical angle (pumice beads) and the chemical one (glycolic and lactic acids).
