Call them the creams of the crop. Moisturizers are the constructing blocks of skincare, a hero product for brands and consumers alike. To find the true medicine cabinet mainstays, Beauty Inc asked nearly 400 executives, founders, editors, financiers, retailers, chemists and influencers to share their top products. Promised confidentiality, among the industry’s most influential voices forged their votes. (The complete list of those willing to be identified as electors appears on this story, though the content of their ballots stays confidential.)
