Spring has sprung, and with it comes a fresh wave of must-have products already flying off the shelves faster than you can say ‘blossom.’ We head back to the studio on Daytime Chicago to dive into the must-have, sell-out, and celebrity-favorite beauty products of Spring 2024.
You’ve seen some of these brands before, and some are brand new. Let’s start with drugstore picks. Did you know this cleanser by Cetaphil has been trending since its creation in 1947? It’s formulated for sensitive skin, and consumers swear by it. It’s also a top dermatologist recommendation.

Micellar water is a very different type of cleansing, and this product blows my mind when removing eye makeup and all the heavy makeup we wear every day. This one by Garnier is sold every two seconds. Crazy right?
