The latest edition of the rankings features 132 categories, with 33 brand new over-the-counter product categories included this year. This was the first year that dermatologists were included in the survey.
In partnership with The Harris Poll, U.S. News surveyed 354 pharmacists and 122 dermatologists practicing in the United States regarding 132 product categories including face washes and cleansers, and retinol creams and serums. The survey was administered online in February 2024.
