The numbers don’t lie, and we’ve been watching closely as customer favorites continued to rise throughout the quarter.

Today we’re bringing you the products that dominated 2026’s Quarter 1, and have the momentum to stay on top through the rest of the year. Below are the standout beauty items our customers can’t stop using, reordering, and recommending. If you’re looking for what’s worth your time, your routine, and your cart, this list is your shortcut.

No. 1

Aestura - AtoBarrier 365 Lotion

You’ll find legions of fans all over the world swearing by the Aestura AtoBarrier 365 Lotion, but what exactly is it that makes it so beloved? While most nourishing formulas can be thick and greasy, this one is lightweight and fast absorbing without compromising on its intensely hydrating effects. It all comes down to its encapsulated Ceramide that replenishes and strengthens the skin barrier, quelling dryness, flakiness and irritation while smoothing away rough patches on the face and body.

No. 2

Dr. Althea - Aqua Marine Jelly Mist

Jelly mists are making a bang of a comeback and leading the pack is the Dr. Althea Aqua Marine Jelly Mist. Plant-based PDRN, Ulleungdo Deep Sea Water and a triple Hyaluronic Acid Complex are blended into a bouncy jelly that spritzes out of its bottle as a cooling mist, revitalizing dry and tired skin by locking in soothing moisture and supporting skin firmness. This formula is versatile for however you want to use it: as a restorative toner, a boosting serum, or as an on-the-go pick-me-up whenever your skin needs a burst of refreshment.

No. 3

Abib - PDRN Collagen Lip Mask Glazed Jelly

Continuing on the theme of jelly textures, our VANA fans can’t get enough of the Abib PDRN Collagen Lip Mask Glazed Jelly. If parched, chapped and dull lips are of concern, this vegan PDRN and 3D Collagen-enriched gel is a go-to for flooding the pout with plumping hydration and imparting a glass-like shine without stickiness. An all-in-one product, Abib recommends it as an overnight lip mask, lip prep balm, or as a gloss layer on top of your daily lip combo.

No. 4

107 Beauty - Double Layer Milky Serum

All hail milky skincare: the 107 Beauty Double Layer Milky Serum lives up to the hype of milky textures with a double layer formula containing Ginseng Exosomes for targeting signs of aging, 107 Beauty’s proprietary VIN-H7™ Vinegar that supplies essential nutrients, and a 9-type Hyaluronic Acid Complex delivering long-lasting moisture. It’s clinically proven to be gentle on all skin types, helping to restore brightness and firmness for a perfected appearance.

No. 5

ANUA - Heartleaf 80 Moisture Soothing Ampoule

During the changing of the seasons, the skin is typically more prone to irritation and environmental damage as it adjusts; the ANUA Heartleaf 80 Moisture Soothing Ampoule is the kind of product you’ll want to have on hand when combatting these concerns. It combines tried-and-true ingredients like calming Heartleaf and moisturizing Panthenol to put an end to redness and inflammation, at the same time balancing sebum production to cultivate a glass skin complexion.

No. 6

3W Clinic - Intensive UV Sunblock Cream SPF50+ PA+++

Still on the hunt for your everyday sunscreen? We propose the 3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream SPF50+ PA+++. Whatever you could a sunscreen of, this formula provides: its texture is creamy and moisturizing, thanks to Aloe, Mulberry Root and Red Ginseng; it’s formulated to be irritation-free to suit a wide range of skin types; and the lightweight texture makes for a great skin primer before makeup.

No. 7

Round Lab - Birch Juice Moisturizing Eye Balm

Eye care doesn’t have to be a complex affair; sometimes it’s just a simple swipe of the Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Eye Balm to keep undereyes looking and feeling awake. This balm stick is infused with Birch Sap and Vita Hyaluronic Acid to provide just the right amount of hydration to the delicate undereye area, its cushiony texture providing a cooling effect as it soothes the skin. Goodbye puffy eye bags, hello instant recovery.

No. 8

Arencia - Black Tea Rice Mochi Cleanser

Not going to lie, you’ll want to toss all your other cleansers after trying the Arencia Black Tea Rice Mochi Cleanser. Addictive mochi texture aside, this 2-in-1 formula acts as a treatment mask in addition to clarifying cleanser, harnessing Black Tea, Yuzu and Charcoal to detoxify clogged pores and sweep away skin impurities. It’s a must-have for anyone with oily, combination or acne-prone skin, and especially for complexions that frequently experience rough and textured patches.
