Real talk: It takes an arsenal of beauty products to be "no-makeup" pretty. Kind of daunting when you consider that more than 1,807 new ones were launched in the past year alone. So we enlisted 1,629 reader-testers to do the legwork for you.
Check out the12 best skincare winners that will help you achieve that 'no-makeup' look before summer. (Courtesy of C&C)
Best Gentle Cleanser:
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Facial Cleanser, $5.50
At last, a truly egalitarian, good-for-all-skin-types face wash. The cucumber-scented gel formula left readers' skin "refreshed and not dry" and even "moisturized after use."
One raved: "The little beads made my skin feel so clean and exfoliated."

Best Antiaging Cleanser:
Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Treatment Boosting Cleanser, $39.60
If you like your cleanser with benefits, meet your holy grail. Pricey, yes, but you won't need a separate exfoliator—this foaming cream contains a one-two punch of sloughing bamboo beads and a dead cell-dissolving enzyme. Plus, there's shea butter and glycerin to soften skin.
"The slightly gritty texture was wonderful—I felt like it was really deep-cleaning my face," a tester enthused.

Best Cleasing Wipes:
Yes to Carrots Fragrance Free Gentle Cleansing Wipes, $6
The busy (or sleepy, or um, just lazy) girl's lifesaver, these "soft, thick" fragrance-free towelettes "remove more dirt" and "cleanse my face better" than other wipes, two fans reported.
A plethora of soothing, nourishing natural extracts—aloe, chamomile, jasmine—even leave behind "a healthy, youthful glow."

Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Lift Perfecting Serum, $61
This moisturizing fluid targets the stubborn eye area trifecta: dark circles, puffiness and crow's-feet—immediately by tightening with an oat sugar film and over time with circulation boosters like caffeine.
"I could see noticeable results and coworkers even made comments," one tester marveled. Another: "I have both dark circles and bags under my eyes, and the serum lessened the appearance of both."Please click on the TITLE to be directed to the full DivaDebbi blog post!
