The Best of the Best
It would be impossible to do what you do every
day without your toolbox of professional products
and devices. Imagine for a second this toolbox was
suddenly empty, forcing you to start over. What would
you do? Which items would you immediately order
online or run out to buy? This dedication to your
favorite products, devices, and brands is exactly
why we host the ASCP Skin Deep Readers' Choice
Awards every year. We want you to tell us what
deserves a coveted spot on your backbar—and an
even more coveted spot in your heart.
In this issue, we present to you our 7th annual
Readers' Choice Awards (page 58), where you can
fi nd out what you and other skin care pros voted for
as the best in the industry. Check out the winners,
runners up, and honorable mentions of your favorite
products, product lines, devices, and distributors.
We're also peeling back the curtain for you to see
what goes into making your favorite products. Turn
to page 70 for Dasha Saian Marchese's feature about
the creation of products in the lab, from production
to packaging. Then fl ip to page 80 for Lucielle
Salomon's take on incorporating localism into
your business.
This issue is fi lled to the brim with the products
and brands you love. There's something for every
skin care professional. Maybe you'll discover
something you've never even heard of. That's our
hope at least.
