The result of “2020 @cosme THE BEST COSMETICS AWARDS Mid-Year New Products” is finally announced! Although most of us have spent the first half of 2020 during quarantine, the demand for cosmetics and skincare products has been bouncing and even created the trend of natural beauty.
According to the keywords statistics on the @cosme website, the number of searches for “skincare” increased rapidly since the coronavirus pandemic happened. Many users prioritize skincare over make-up, as most of them stay home to continue remote work or study. They wish to improve their skin quality and be able to reduce the stress of heavy make-up on their skin.
@cosme THE BEST COSMETICS AWARDS Mid-Year New Products are based on the reviews that are posted by our members and given to the products that receive the most support from everyone. Only new products from the first half of the year are eligible for this award, making it the mid-year version of the Best New Buys award. Let’s take a look at the must-buy item in the coming year!

“Tested on my dry, sensitive skin for a month. I used a little bit more when removing heavy make-up. The blackhead and dead skin have improved, and my skin looks brighter. It is not necessary to wash your face again. The citrus aroma is very nice. A worthy and efficient product that I would re-purchase!”
TOP 1！ Lancôme CLARIFIQUE DUAL ESSENCE LOTION（クラリフィック デュアル エッセンス ローション ランコム）
This popular beautifying lotion was developed to focus on the enzymes that allow chemical reactions in the skin to occur efficiently and support the skin’s cellular turnover. The French beech tree bud extract restores moisture and firmness to the skin. This two-layer essence is fresh and comfortable, made with 3% oil. It sinks into the skin with a watery touch, leaving the skin moisturized, clear, and helps shed dead skin cells as well.
“I was very surprised by its result, and I love it. It’s very moisturising, and I feel very refresh. I should have bought more than one bottle when its on sale. I enjoy my daily lotion routine a lot.”
“It restores clearness to my skin. I always shake till it turns milky since it contains oil. It still feels very fresh and not sticky at all. It is very comfortable.”
“I almost finished my second bottle. I was very excited when its pre-selling and Lancôme never disappoint me with their new product. I felt the changes since the first day, and it restores firmness to the skin. It might be a bit expensive, but all the ladies in their 40s should try this out!”
