Skin for the Win

The just-opened Tusk Bar in New York’s Evelyn Hotel was aglow when Beauty Inc celebrated The Greatest Skin Care of all time — and not because of the candles. Beauty luminaries including the Estée Lauder Cos.’ Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Summer Fridays’ Marianna Hewitt, Clarins’ Lionel Uzan, Glow Recipe’s Christine Chang, Lancôme’s Ramzi Burns, Ulta Beauty’s Maria Salcedo, Macy’s Julie Walsh and many others were on hand celebrating their inclusion on the list, which featured the top skin care products of all time as voted on by beauty industry insiders. “It’s the amazing products and brands that are being celebrated tonight that continue to bring customers back again and again,” said Vanessa Kuykendall, cofounder of Market Defense, which sponsored the party, “providing us all the opportunity to work in this dynamic category and loving what we do.” Another aspect to love: The mammoth GOAT goodie bag at the end, packed with more than half of the winning products on the 2023 list.
