Consumers made their top picks for the annual Product of the Year awards. Time Warner Cable News’ Kristen Shaugnessy finds out what topped the list for personal care products.

Whether you're shopping for yourself, your home or your pet, the options in each aisle can be overwhelming. So how do you know which to pick? Sometimes, fellow consumers are the ones who know best.

"The consumer has a tough job. There are 50,000 new products introduced every year and it's daunting task for them to introduce a new product into their routine," says Rich Fryling, Managing Director of Product of the Year USA.

Companies know that winning a "Product of the Year" title and being able to put that seal on their product could be a boon for sales - one that's been judged on its innovation, its viability and its availability nationwide. Dial is a big winner in the personal care category with three winning products, starting with its Greek yogurt body wash.

"They're jumping on a very relevant trend. Greek yogurt is packed with protein. It's like 14 grams of protein in a Greek yogurt. They're taking that protein ingredient and putting that in a body wash, which has tremendous impact on the health of your skin," says Fryling.

Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap and Dial for Men Power Scrub were also selected. Listerine's Healthy White Gentle Rinse topped the list as well.

"They're taking the peroxide out of whitening and that helps with enamel care," says Fryling.

Crest has a new product for sensitive gums that gets the red seal of approval.  It works like Crest Whitening strips.

"For ten minutes, you put this in your mouth in the sensitive areas of your gums and it has a month of relief," says Fryling.

Carmex won for its Cold Sore Protection - for its ability to provide relief when there is no real cure.

"It not only hides the cold sore but it also gives you relief from the itching and burning," Fryling explains.

The remaining Personal Care Winners are from Sensodyne. They are Sensodyne Complete and its Pronamel MultiAction.

"Sensodyne is a product made from GSK. GSK is a pharmaceutical , they're all about the science, so their advances in the formulation of their toothpaste is really, really strong," says Fryling.
