2026 Aestheticians’ Choice Awards

The results are in and the aesthetics industry has spoken! Welcome to the 12th annual Aestheticians’ Choice Awards (ACAs), where the most trusted voices in skin care – licensed aestheticians – cast their votes to crown the best brands, products, and professionals in the industry.

This is more than just an awards program. It is a celebration of the professionals on the front lines; the ones recommending, testing, and trusting the products they put on their clients’ faces and in their hands every day. Every honoree on these pages earned their spot through a rigorous process: a dedicated nominations committee kicks things off with the help of reader nominations, followed by a final reader vote on DERMASCOPE.com – putting the power of the final decision squarely in the hands of the industry.
Each year, the ACAs recognize excellence across body care, cleansers, masks, hair removal, exfoliants, serums, toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, cosmetics, equipment, business resources, and industry professionals; and 2026’s lineup does not disappoint.
