The 15 products in Martha Stewart Living’s February 2023 roundup are a snapshot of what the magazine reported about Martha Stewart’s skincare habits at that time—not a definitive list of what she uses today. Later coverage in 2024 and 2026 describes different products and steps. Here is the original 15-item list, followed by what those newer accounts say.
What were the 15 products in the 2023 roundup?
The February 6, 2023 article grouped products Stewart reportedly used for masking, cleansing, toning, serums, sunscreen, moisturizing and removing makeup. Its descriptions reflect that article; they do not establish current use, current formulas or availability.
- Yon-Ka Paris Gommage Yon-Ka: The article said Stewart applied it as an early-morning exfoliating mask and left it on for about 30 minutes.
- Susan Ciminelli Hydrating Gel Mask: Described as a hydrating alternative mask.
- Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask: Included among the masks in her reported routine.
- Chanel Le Blanc Intense Brightening Foam Cleanser: The article described her using it from the neck down after her mask.

- BioEffect EGF Day Serum: The third serum option.
- SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50: The sunscreen named in the roundup.

- Susan Ciminelli Algae Deep Cleanse: One of two cleansers the article said she used to remove products.
- Chanel Sublimage Gel-to-Oil Cleanser: Described as an alternative for removing makeup from her face, neck and décolletage, and sometimes her arms.

- Mario Badescu Revitalin Moisturizer: Another moisturizer in the list.

How did later reports describe her routine?
August 2024: masks, sunscreen and consistency
Vogue’s August 3, 2024 account, based on interviews with dermatologists Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, and Daniel Belkin, MD, described a daily morning sheet mask, including some custom-made by Bhanusali; Clé de Peau Intensive Eye Contour Cream; Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36 mixed with moisturizer; and Mario Badescu Facial Spray. The story also mentioned a bespoke serum and emphasized sun protection and consistency. It is a separate, dated account—not confirmation that every product from 2023 remained in use.

January 2026: a hot-and-cold cloth, serum and tinted sunscreen
In January 2026 coverage based on Stewart’s Vogue Beauty Secrets video, Martha Stewart Living reported that she refreshed her face in the morning with a hot cloth followed by a cold one. She said she washed her face before bed with Mario Badescu A.H.A. Botanical Body Soap, so she did not need a morning cleanse. The article also reported that she takes Elm Biosciences Inner Dose Daily Skin Supplements and applies Elm Biosciences A3O Elemental Serum, then combines more serum with Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen and L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion.

Vogue’s January 20 account additionally reported that she applies Elm Biosciences A3O Elemental Night Cream to her décolleté in the morning and layers Alastin HydraTint sunscreen. Stewart described her preference this way: “I like to glow. I don’t like matte finishes on pretty much anything. I like my furniture to be shiny, I like my face to be shiny.”
Martha Stewart Living’s January 21, 2026 account and Vogue’s January 20, 2026 account cover the video routine. In it, L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion is makeup, while the named cleanser, serum, supplement and sunscreen are skincare products.

What the product lists do—and don’t—tell you
The lists show how published accounts of Stewart’s routine changed over time: the 2023 roundup named 15 products, the 2024 story described a routine with input from her dermatologists, and the 2026 reports focused on a video featuring a different set of products and steps. They should not be combined into one daily regimen.
These are reports of one person’s habits, not recommendations that every item is necessary or appropriate for every reader. The sources do not establish that any product caused Stewart’s appearance or would produce the same results for someone else. The named products and descriptions also do not confirm current formulas, ongoing use or present-day availability.
