Philips Lumea IPL 9000 Series and Philips Sonicare 6400 Electric Toothbrush Selected as Good Housekeeping 2026 Beauty Awards Winners

Key Terms

intense pulsed light (ipl) medical

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non‑invasive medical device treatment that delivers broad-spectrum light in short, controlled bursts to target skin pigments, hair follicles, and small blood vessels; think of it as a precisely timed, medical-grade flashlight tuned to treat surface skin issues. Investors track IPL because sales of devices, treatment volumes at clinics, regulatory approvals, and safety or efficacy reports can materially affect revenues and market demand for companies in aesthetic and dermatology markets.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) Two standout Philips innovations, Lumea IPL 9000 Series and Sonicare 6400, were named winners in Good Housekeeping’s 2026 Beauty Awards. The full list of award winners can be found at goodhousekeeping.com/beautyawards2026.

Philips Sonicare 64000 Electric Toothbrush

From the global no. 1 IPL brand¹, Lumea IPL 9000 Series was recognized in the ‘skin-boosting body care’ category as the ‘DIY Laser Hair Removal’ product. Lumea IPL harnesses the power of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target hair at the root with gentle, warm light pulses that send hair follicles into a resting phase, slowing regrowth. With more than 90% hair reduction in just three sessions², Philips Lumea IPL maximizes results while minimizing time and effort. During the initial treatment period, it requires half as many treatments as other leading IPL brands³. After the first four treatments, only monthly touch-ups are needed to maintain smooth skin. Philips Lumea IPL delivers salon-like smoothness at home without the hassle of appointments or high salon costs.

From the no. 1 dental professional recommended sonic toothbrush brand worldwide, Philips Sonicare 6400 was recognized in the ‘smile refresher’ category, named the ‘Top Electric Toothbrush.’ Featuring Next-Generation Sonicare technology, powerful bristle tips provide a gentle yet effective clean, reaching deep between teeth and along the gumline. Proven to remove up to 1000% more plaque than manual brushing⁴, the toothbrush offers advanced care for sensitive teeth and gums, allowing for a healthier, cleaner mouth. Thoughtfully designed with smart pressure sensors, guided brushing features, and up to 21 days of use on a single charge, Philips Sonicare 6400 sets the gold standard for personalized oral care.

Scientists in the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab spent seven months testing nearly 700 beauty products to find the best on the market. They assessed product performance using specialized equipment in the GH Institute Beauty Lab and distributed products to 931 consumer testers, who reported feedback on ease of use, packaging, results, and more. To choose the winners, Good Housekeeping experts analyzed these data sets and considered factors such as efficacy, innovation, and user experience.
