52. A plant-based cleanser

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel, available at Sephora, $38

I got turned on to this cleanser by asking the only pore-less human I'd ever seen how she'd accomplished the feat, and it does not disappoint. It uses alpha and beta hydroxy acids to encourage the skin's natural shedding and support new cell growth. It's vegan, plant-based, and despite being fragrance-free, it somehow smells amazing. I try a lot of skincare products throughout the year, but this one is what I'm most excited about in 2019. —Mara Leighton, reporter
