There truly never has been a better time to be a lover of all things beauty.

From skin and haircare products to bath goodies, makeup and everything in between, all of the best brands out there have been outdoing themselves in all categories. In fact, we tried so much good stuff in April of 2023 that the list below only scratches the surface. Want to discover the best of the best? Keep scrolling for our ultimate favorites of the month.

We love bar soaps for a number of reasons, including waste reduction, and at the moment, we're infatuated with the Rehydrate Bar Soap from Botanical Republic. Not only does it have a beautiful natural scent, combining lavender and geranium for an earthy, floral experience, but the combination of organic, plant-based ingredients also leaves our skin feeling exceptionally clean and smooth after every wash. It blends sandalwood, olive, mango seed, babassu and avocado to reduce fine lines, improve texture and deeply nourish skin while you soap up.

Phillip Adam Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo ($17.45) and Conditioner ($17.45)

Apple cider vinegar has all kinds of awesome benefits for the hair, and if you want to reap all of them, without smelling like a jar of pickles, Phillip Adam has you covered with their Apple Cider Vinger Shampoo and Conditioner. ACV is super gentle on the scalp, and it also detoxes the hair, balancing its PH and leaving it extra clean and shiny (but not greasy). Best of all, it smells like crisp, sweet apples, and we love the scent it leaves in our hair.

The Cleanest Lab Leave-in Conditioning Spray: $36

And when our hair needs a bit of moisture on non-wash days, we've been relying on The Cleanest Lab's Leave-in Conditioning Spray to get the job done. It's super lightweight while nourishing and hydrating our hair, reducing frizz as it detangles, and the woodsy lavender scent is also a dream come true.

Avarelle GUNK OUT: Spot Tech: $16.99

We've tried all kinds of pimple patches in our day, but Avarelle's GUNK OUT: Spot Tech patches might be the fastest-working of them all. The patches are thicker than others we've tried but still go on with a mostly sheer look, so you won't be completely embarrassed to wear them out. Best of all, though, it truly does its job of sucking the moisture out of pimples in just a few hours—and you can see the icky results on each patch to prove it. They seriously reduce the appearance of zits overnight, and since a pack includes 100 patches, it's built to last.

Bubble Knock Out ($12) and Fade Away ($12)

If you're dealing with acne that requires something more serious than a pimple patch, however, Bubble's Knock Out and Fade Away acne treatments might be just what you need in your medicine cabinet. They both treat different types of acne (and shouldn't be used together in the same spot), with Fade Away specialized for inflamed cystic breakouts, and Knock Out working its magic on whiteheads, blackheads and early-stage breakouts. Whatever skin ailments you're dealing with, this duo has your back.

Fleur & Bee Eyes Eyes Baby: $52

Fleur & Bee's Eyes Eyes Baby is a thick, dreamy anti-aging undereye cream, and we're in love. It feels super hydrating and creamy to the touch, doing wonders to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Maybe it's the dose of caffeine, but using it makes us look and feel more awake, too.

ManukaRx Daily Glow Skin Brightening Cream: $31.50

For a bright, cheery glow all over the face, we highly recommend Daily Glow Skin Brightening Cream from ManukaRx. Not only does it feel soft and hydrating, but it also utilizes sustainably harvested Mānuka oil from New Zealand's East Cape, which has incredible antioxidant and antibacterial properties, helping to repair skin while reducing inflammation.  It's also absolutely packed with vitamin C from Kakadu plum, allowing it to reduce dullness and dark spots, making skin as radiant as ever.

Eylure London Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum: $34.99

We can't think of any reason someone wouldn't want healthy and full brows and lashes, and Eylure London Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum is our secret to both. It includes peptide and biotin to nourish brows and lashes and encourage growth while conditioning, and the brush works for both, so it's basically two products in one.

A great scent is also essential for feeling beautiful inside and out, and lately, we've been enchanted by Paris Hilton's Ruby Rush Eau de Parfum. It's got a luscious berries and cream scent, with the right balance of florals and warm, woodsy notes to also smell chic and grown-up. If you like cherries and vanilla, but are seeking something more complex than a body spray, you'll adore Ruby Rush.

Plus, the plump, hydrated results are even more obvious in the morning after a great night's sleep.
