In everything related to beauty, every woman strives for perfection, therefore the best facial care cosmetics in the world will almost always top the rating of personal preferences. It makes sense that to look perfect you only need the best cosmetics you can find. These are exactly what we will talk about in our rating, which has collected only the TOP and most modern facial skin care products that exist in the world.
Rating of professional cosmetics for face care
Not all women distinguish between professional cosmetics and mass-market care products that are sold on supermarket shelves. Any products from regular stores and supermarkets do not belong to the category of professional or selective cosmetics. This is an exclusively mass budget product segment that is incomparable in quality and efficiency.
It is important to understand that the generated rating of professional facial care cosmetics does not include products of mass brands that are presented in supermarkets. The categories present exclusively the products of the world's TOP luxury cosmetics brands, from which the best products have been selected. In most cases, they can be found in studios and beauty salons, as well as in branded stores. With these brands of cosmetics, facial care will be of the highest quality and effective. Of course, all products are not only leaders in reviews and recommendations of professional cosmetologists, but have also undergone many laboratory studies confirming their quality.
You can find these best skin care products at your local store. And they are not inferior to professional ones!
For lovers of expensive cosmetic products, we advise you to learn everything about professional facial skin care.

The independent consulting agency Brand Finance®, among others, annually publishes a list of the fifty best cosmetic brands in the world.
You can find the full rating on the agency's official website. Unauthorized users have access to only the top ten data.
Brand Finance® forms a rating based specifically on the popularity of a particular brand - the issue of quality is absolutely irrelevant here. For our part, we decided to supplement the list by including cosmetics brands that were previously present in the Brand Finance® rating, but fell out of the top 50, and those that cannot be included in the list of the most popular ones, due, for example, to their elitism (Rimmel London Christian Dior, Saint Laurent etc.), relative novelty (NudeStix) or insufficient popularity in the market of a particular country (for example, little-known cosmetics in Russia Natura).
The list includes brands from different countries and different price categories (mass, middle, luxury market), producing care and decorative cosmetics for men and women.
Cosmetics is the study of means and methods of improving a person’s appearance. Cosmetics are means and methods of caring for the body and oral cavity, used to improve a person’s appearance. This term was first used in 1867, during the International Exhibition in Paris, where the perfumery and soap industries exhibited their products separately from pharmaceuticals.
Each country has developed its own list of cosmetics, enshrined in the legislative framework. In Russia, this list includes essential oils. Modern cosmetics include formulations based on natural ingredients: Organic, Bio. In France, such products are called BIO, in Germany - NaTrue and BDIH, in the UK - Soil Association, in Russia - BioRus.
