I Tested Over 50 New Beauty Products in 2024—Here's What I'm Already Loving in 2025
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
2024 was a big year for beauty trials for me. I tested everything from celebrity makeup brands and tooth-whitening kits to mud masks and red light therapy. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I expect to double that number in 2025, and I've already gotten a head start. Not only am I testing the new must-have products that seem to drop every week, but also those that have been around for a while but haven't yet made their way onto my vanity.
Beauty trials come with hits and misses. Does this foundation highlight my texture? Will this product make my hair feel crunchy in 30 minutes? Does this deodorant last all day? Rest assured, I clocked in and did the hard work for you. I hit the big four—skin, hair, makeup, and body—including designer favorites, drugstore finds, and some of TikTok's best hits. The 30 products below are all editor-approved and worth a try. If you're looking to expand your beauty cabinet this year, just keep scrolling.
SKINCARE
I've been loyal to the same cleanser for the past two years, but this gem found its way into my rotation and I can't go back. It's extremely gentle and creates a smooth lather that removes all my makeup, even when I'm not double cleansing.
