The Best Cosmetics Awards 2021 has just been revealed with the latest ranking of cosmetics products in Japan! Let’s find out the latest and the most trending Japanese beauty products of the year!

The biggest and the most influential online beauty community in Japan, @cosme hosts the beauty awards “The Best Cosmetics Awards” twice a year in June (mid-year) and December (year-end), revealing rankings of the most popular and trending cosmetics products from various categories (skin care, makeup, body care, hair care, etc). The rankings are based on real users’ votes, so it’s genuine and up-to-date. The Best Cosmetics Awards are extremely popular and influential among cosmetics fans worldwide, and winning products tend to become even more popular or sell out quickly after awards are revealed!

In this article, I’d like to share the rankings from The Best Cosmetics Awards 2021: skin care category including cleanser, face wash, toner, cream and sheet mask. Let’s find out the best Japanese skin care products to buy in Japan in 2021–2022!

If you wish to check out more rankings from different categories, I have attached links to them on the bottom of the page, too 🙂
