PRIX D'EXCELLENCE BEAUTY AWARDS 2023
Marie Claire - US|The Identity Issue 2023
Beauty contributes to all aspects of our health and wellness, and the care we dedicate to ourselves directly impacts how we feel and, in turn, who we are. This year, for the 37th edition of Marie Claire's Beauty Excellence Awards, the jury tested dozens of new products, debated, and selected only the most innovative. After months of deliberating, we concluded with six international awards, 10 U.S. winners and one transatlantic honoree. Powdered skincare, body creams, and powerful serums: here are the best new launches.

International Winners

Exfoliating Enzyme Mask by Sisley Paris 

This fine powder, mixed with a little water, becomes a creamy mask ($135) to apply to your face. In 60 seconds, its key ingredient, papain, evens out and brightens the complexion, making it easy to see why it’s earned our Formulation Award. Indeed, it’s “the new champion of the mask sector,” says Cristina Torlaschi from Marie Claire Italy.

Abeille Royale Scalp & Hair Youth-Oil-In Serum by Guerlain 

Beautiful hair requires a healthy scalp: that's the philosophy behind this ritualist serum ($140), which uses honey from Ouessant black bees to revitalize the scalp and increase the hair fiber's resistance level.

T.L.C. Glycolic Body Lotion by Drunk Elephant

A body treatment ($25) inspired by the most hard-working facial treatments. AHAs gently exfoliate and soften rough patches, while a cocktail of moisturizing agents (butters and plant oils) provides long-lasting relief to even the driest skin.

Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum by Lancôme

Lancôme brings together three active regenerating ingredients complementary but previously incompatible in a single serum ($140). Water-binding hyaluronic acid, vitamin C plus niacinamide, and antioxidant ferulic acid are kept separately in a three-chamber bottle. All together: a powerful technological innovation.

Bain Chroma Respect, Soin Acide Chroma Gloss, Sérum Chroma Thermique, Fondant Cica Chroma by Kérastase
