Gwyneth Paltrow in no way sponsored this article.
Though you might get a feeling that the actress and lifestyle magnate may have, due to so many of our editors name-checking her Goop skin care products as ride-or-die staples.
With so many celebrity beauty lines available, it’s easy to be unsure which are worth a try. So we asked our editors which they actually can’t live without.
JLo Beauty (Jennifer Lopez), Beau Domaine (Brad Pitt), The Outset (Scarlett Johansson), and the Honest Company (Jessica Alba) are just some of the star-founded brands that earned a place on our shelves.
Scroll on to shop the editor-approved favorites that we put to the test, including a cleanser we loveand “the best $19 anti-aging hand cream on the market.”

Facial Cleansers
Good.clean.goop Beauty The Daily Juice Cleanser
“Say what you will about Gwyneth Paltrow, but the woman knows skin care. This cleanser — billed by the brand as ‘a green juice for your face’ — was my instant favorite product of the bunch when I tested Good.clean.goop upon the line’s launch in late 2023, and I still love it today. It’s a simple, no-frills face wash that smells lovely, removes makeup like a dream without stripping your skin, and feels fairly priced. What more could you ask for?” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
Goop Beauty Daily Detox Foaming Cleanser
“Ok, I’m a sucker for a Goop beauty product, so I’ll try anything. Though some are one-and-done — while others stay in STEADY rotation — they’ve certainly turned me into enough of a convert that I’ll at least attempt to add each of their latest products to my lineup.”
“I had been on the hunt for a new face cleanser a few months ago when they first released their Daily Detox Foaming Cleanser, so you know I ordered it day one. It has a slight foam, though not overwhelming, and truly feels like it strips off all of the makeup and New York City grime that fills my pores after a long day. This face wash is the perfect balance of feeling as though it’s exiled all of the dirt from my face, while also protecting all of my skin’s natural moisture. What’s more, it smells like a spa, about which I will never complain.— Avery Matera, Style Reporter
Moisturizers, Oils and Serums
Honest Ageless Firm and Smooth Cream
“I just bought my third tub of Honest Beauty’s Ageless Firm and Smooth Cream, which I’ve been using on my neck and décolletage zone. It was the first time I’ve ever tried Honest Beauty, though I’ve always had great respect for Jessica Alba and was intrigued by her pivot to businesswoman. I decided to try this in an effort to use more clean ingredients on my skin, and I’ve honestly been impressed by the results. My neck, in particular, has fewer defined lines. It also just dawned on me, in revisiting the Amazon page, that the product can be used on the face too, so I’ll definitely be doing that — and also probably picking up the Ageless Firm + Even Serum that’s recommended to use ahead of the cream, since I’ve been so pleased with it.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP of Commerce
Beau Domaine The Rich Cream
“This cream from Brad Pitt’s Beau Domaine has earned top-shelf status in my beauty arsenal (which is pretty extensive). It’s rich but sinks in quickly and has a luxurious texture. When I use it nightly, my skin looks firmer, brighter and so soft — I even wrote a review about my love for the line. It’s made in France using science-backed botanicals like resveratrol, which are anti-aging antioxidants from grapes. While I can be skeptical about celeb-founded lines, the ‘F1’ star delivered on this.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Writer/Reporter
Elm Biosciences A3O Elemental Serum
“When I first reviewed Martha Stewart’s skin care line earlier in the year, I was immediately intrigued by the patent-pending A30 antioxidant complex. And after trying it, I’m seriously impressed. The serum feels instantly refreshing, and — unlike some retinoids — it’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin. The packaging also looks so expensive — almost too pretty to hide in your bathroom cabinets. I’d expect nothing less from queen Martha!” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Commerce Editor
JLo Beauty Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Face Moisturizer
“A lot of folks poked fun at Jennifer Lopez’s olive oil-centric sound bites when she launched her skin care line, but guys — the products are actually pretty great! I’m particularly fond of That Big Screen (yes, the product names are pretty silly), the line’s SPF 30 daytime face cream. It layers beautifully beneath makeup, has a delightful whipped texture and is hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. It’s never broken out my sensitive, acne-prone skin, and the packaging is beautiful too (no surprise there — this is a JLo enterprise, after all). I’ve used up several tubs!” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
Goop Beauty Nutrient Face Oil
“I have always struggled with face moisturizer. My skin is so sensitive, and it’s hard for me to find something that is hydrating enough to do the job, but not so heavy that it makes me break out. I love Goop’s All-in-One Super Nutrient Face Oil at night — and it truly transforms my skin by morning. I personally prefer more of a matte face look, and this face oil is, well, oil, so I use it at night, right before bed. Not only has this product kept my face totally moisturized, but I swear that it’s also made it more glowy and completely changed the texture and health of my skin overall.” — Avery Matera, Style Reporter
Beau Domaine The Hand & Nail Cream
“I’m also obsessed with the Hand and Nail Cream! It’s literally the best $19 anti-aging hand cream on the market, and it remarkably makes nails healthier as well. Over time, it even reduces dark spots.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Writer/Reporter
Exfoliants and Lip Treatments
Goop Beauty Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator
“This must be one of the Goop Beauty originals, as I first tried it years ago. It’s such a great product because it gently exfoliates in minutes, leaving me with soft, glowy skin. Despite trying countless others, I always come back to it because it’s unrivaled in quickly giving my skin a just-got-a-facial glow. I also think it helps my other skin care absorb better when applied after using it. And though it’s a little pricey, only a small amount is needed, so it lasts a long time.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Writer/Reporter
Goop Glow Microderm Instant Glow Body Polish
“I can attest that this Goop Microderm Instant Glow Body Polish is exactly as amazing as it is billed. It’s some incredible amalgamation of an exfoliator, cleanser, and moisturizer, all wrapped up into one. Though I think a body exfoliator is a must (at least a few times a week …), most of them are also incredibly drying, which kind of defeats the purpose. This one, however, does exactly the opposite. That said, if you’re looking for a true one-two-punch, follow up with the Afterglow Body Oil, and you’ll truly feel like you’ve turned your bathroom into a spa for the night.” — Avery Matera, Style Reporter
The Outset Lip Oasis Glossy Treatment
“Lip Oasis is really a two-for-one product to me, because it feels like a treatment or balm but looks like a gloss. When I’m wearing the Lip Oasis, I feel like I have ScarJo’s enviable big pout! It definitely gives an enhanced look, and I often reach for it as the only product I put on top of a lip liner for a super natural yet made-up look.” — Melissa Minton, Senior Style Editor
