These Are the Best Body Products of 2025 (2025)

We're all guilty of overlooking our body-care routines at some point or another, but consider this your sign to give your skin your undivided attention. Whether it's adding an extra step to your shower routine or upgrading your body lotion, a little act of self-care can go a long way from the neck down. Ahead, explore our 2025 Beauty Award winners in the body-care category, from model-approved body oils to potent serums.

Best Body Serum

Osea Hyaluronic Body Serum

"I've got my evening body-care routine down, but I find myself feeling a little more pressed for time in the morning. Osea's Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum has changed the game for me—I keep it on my sink so I can slather it on my damp skin straight out of the shower. It absorbs almost immediately, so there's no waiting around in my towel when I need to get dressed. I find that it's particularly effective at diminishing the appearance of scaly skin (particularly on my legs and elbows). A few pumps gives me plump, glistening skin that feels soft and hydrated throughout the entire day." — Holly Rhue, editorial director

Best Body Lotion

Cyklar Vanilla Verve Nutrient-Rich Body Cream

"I only recently started to see body care as a luxuriously sensorial experience, and I have Cyklar to thank for that. I genuinely look forward to slathering this body lotion on thanks to its dreamy, cushiony texture—it leaves my skin feeling softer than ever without any lingering stickiness. What does linger, though, is its delightfully crafted scent: All of Cyklar's scents are elevated, but Vanilla Verve, in particular, has this warm, addictive quality that makes me feel and smell like a decadent dessert at a Michelin-starred restaurant." — Derek Deng, associate content editor

Best Body Scrub

AKT London The Foaming Body Scrub

"I've seen a lot of innovative textures in my tenure as a beauty editor, and I can absolutely say with certainty that I've never seen one like this. This velvety and foamy mixture of rice and sugar exfoliants, papaya enzymes, and nutrient-rich oils is like a feast for your skin and your senses all at once. It provides a physical and chemical exfoliation, boosts circulation, smooths and conditions, and dissolves easily in the shower. It goes from a fine scrub to a sumptuous foam with a cravable scent—and the packaging is undeniably chic. It's magic!" — Hallie Gould, editor in chief

Best Body Butter

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Golden Hour

"This is, without a doubt, the absolute best body butter you can buy, and no one can tell me differently. Featuring a decadent blend of argan oil, avocado oil, and shea butter, Josie Maran's Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter gives me the juiciest, sexiest skin of my life. The new Golden Hour scent is an experience, a sensorial portal to the California seaside (if you will). I've already scooped my way through multiple glorious jars—I can't be stopped!" — Holly Rhue, editorial director

Best Body Oil

Tronque Vitamin C Body Oil

"I'm so happy that potent ingredients are making their way into body care more and more often. But I'm particularly delighted when they make their way into wearable formulas like the Tronque Vitamin C Body Oil. This is a delightful, nongreasy formula that provides powerful antioxidant protection while making the skin look moisturized and lit from within. For me, this is a particular favorite for my shoulders and décolletage—it's summertime glow in a bottle." — Holly Rhue, editorial director

Best Body Shimmer

Brunel The Golden Hour Glow Body Oil

“I crave sun-kissed skin year-round, but unfortunately I don’t live on a tropical island. When I heard Jasmine Tookes was launching Brunel Golden Hour Glow Oil, I perked up and knew I immediately had to try it. The lightweight oil deeply penetrates the skin to reveal the most stunning glow. Key ingredients like squalane, caffeine complex, and magnolia bark complex lock in moisture, smooth and brighten the skin. I may not always be on vacation, but at least my skin will look like it.” — Jasmine Phillips, social media editor

Best for Hyperpigmentation

Topicals Faded Brightening Cleansing Bar

"I've experienced razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and folliculitis for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've gotten my routine down to minimize the lifespan of these bumps as much as possible, but it's the dark spots left behind that can be the most difficult to deal with. For me, nothing has been quite as effective as the Topicals Faded Brightening Cleansing Bar. I suds it up in the shower, let it sit for a minute before I rinse, and then carry on with the rest of my body-care routine. I love that they've made such a mundane skin concern so much fun to treat with this chunky, millennial pink bar." — Holly Rhue, editorial director

Best for Body Breakouts

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Body Wash

"I discovered PanOxyl's classic Acne Foaming Wash in a very modern way: via TikTok, where I learned it was one of those low-key game-changing products that the hotties were gatekeeping. Well, hotties, I have discovered your secret, and I'm never going back. This simple, straightforward wash contains 10% benzoyl peroxide, which might be a bit much for some (but certainly not all) faces. But that higher concentration makes it really great for blasting bacteria and clearing out pores on the back and booty, where the skin is tougher. Fellow bacne-havers, this one is a must. " — Eden Stuart, editor

Best Moisturizing Body Wash

Native Moisturizing Body Wash

"This shea butter bodywash is undeniably decadent, with notes of coconut and vanilla cream, and turns my showers into a spa-like experience. It's easy to pump, cleans and moisturizes, and leaves my skin soothed and smooth." — Hallie Gould, editor in chief

Best Exfoliating Body Wash

Dove Exfoliate Away Body Wash

"Dove has been a mainstay in my body care rotation for as long as I can remember, and the brand's serum body washes have quickly become favorites of mine. Exfoliate Away includes 4% AHA plus exfoliating minerals for a multipronged approach to keeping skin refined and glowing—plus it has a citrus and bergamot fragrance for an experience that smells as refreshing as it feels. You can also rest assured that, as with Dove's other formulas, this one will leave your skin nourished and never stripped so you can head from the shower to your summer plans with the confidence you deserve." — Ali Webb, associate style editor

Best Body Bar

Mutha The Nudist Exfoliating Body Bar

"I use this sensorial gem every other day in the shower to keep bumps, skin roughness, and ingrowns at bay. It smells amazing (featuring white grapefruit and litsea) and nourishes with the help of cupuacu seed butter and jojoba oil. I love how it exfoliates and hydrates to keep my skin healthy, happy, and smooth." — Hallie Gould, editor in chief

Best Deodorant, Stick

Saltair 5% AHA Serum Deodorant

"I've tried countless aluminum-free deodorants with mixed results, but this roll-on from Saltair was the first to truly change the game for me. The science of the formula explains why I don't find myself missing antiperspirant: Its multi-acid blend exfoliates away dead cells and minimizes bacteria, meaning it actively refreshes your underarms with each use rather than simply masking odor. As with Saltair's other products, the fragrance lineup is elevated and delightful—a few of my favorites are the citrus-heavy Exotic Pulp, beachy Seascape, and sweet-meets-storied Salt Water Vanilla. All this comes at an accessible price point, making for an all-around winner." — Ali Webb, associate style editor

Best Deodorant, Spray

SheaMoisture Nourish Whole Body Deodorant Spray

“With summer on the horizon, I need products that will help me look, feel, and smell good all day long. Enter: SheaMoisture Nourish Whole Body Deodorant Spray. The product provides 72-hour odor protection minus any harsh ingredients or residue. The formula contains shea butter and hyaluronic acid, too, so you know your skill will look hydrated and feel soft. It’s a must-have for your gym bag, before hot-girl walks, summer subway rides, and everything in between.” — Jasmine Phillips, social media editor

Best Body Sunscreen, Spray

Vacation Orange Gelée SPF 30 Spray Oil

"Give me a vintage-inspired aesthetic, and I will be jumping to try the product. Vacation made major waves last year when it relaunched Orange Gelée, a classic French Riviera SPF—and now the relic's much-beloved texture, summery scent, and glowy finish have made their way into a spray format. It applies clear on all skin tones, plus the lightweight formula hydrates while it protects. My vacation muse this year is Meredith Blake, who would totally douse herself in this updated suncare hero while basking poolside or—more ideally—at a luxury resort." — Ali Webb, associate style editor

Best Body Sunscreen, Lotion

Nivea UV Sun Protect Super Water Gel SPF 50

"Never in my life have I loved a sunscreen this much. It's cooling, absorbs easily, hydrates, and feels like a dream to apply. The texture is serum-like, so there's no stickiness or chalkiness at all. The high SPF protects my skin seamlessly during those super-sunny summer days." — Hallie Gould, editor in chief

Best Body Sunscreen, Stick

Kopari Pure Protect Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+

"I'm huge on proper sunscreen application, and that includes reapplying throughout the day, especially when spending time outdoors. That's where the Kopari Pure Protect Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ comes in. This super-convenient stick format makes reapplication a breeze, whether I'm at the beach or just out and about. It glides on smoothly without any sticky residue and imparts a lovely glow." — Holly Rhue, editorial director

Best Razor

Gilette Venus Mini ComfortGlide White Tea Razors

"As a girl who's always on the go, mini personal care products are essential. The Gillette Venus ComfortGlide Mini Razor is a travel must-have—it comes with one mini handle, blade refill, and travel case. The shaving gel and lubricating strip are also built into the blade to enhance convenience and comfort. With this razor, I can enjoy a quick, irritation-free shave wherever I am in the world." — Olivia Hancock, senior beauty editor
