1. The cult favorite Cosrx essence formulated with 96.3% snail secretion that's perfectly lightweight and hydrating for all skin types. This essence leaves a nice glow and keeps skin visibly smooth after a few uses. No wonder why it has over 43,000 5-star ratings!
Promising reviews: "There is literally too much good about this product to list it all! DON'T WAIT JUST BUY IT! You will not regret it. This product has transformed my skin in just one week! I can’t wait to see the long-term effects. My skin has never felt so nourished! I have oily combo skin and I am sensitive to a lot of products and this product didn’t cause any breakout and did NOT increase my oil production! I actually started using this the day before I started my period and I had a pimple and I really feel like this made it go away. I didn’t get any other spots during my period and I usually get a few. I will use this forever!" —Amazon Customer
"Feels great on my skin and gives me the extra moisture that I really need during winter. Easy on the face and doesn't irritate it (my skin isn't easy to irritate tho). The product will last me a long time and I enjoy using it. Definitely became an integral part of my skincare routine." —Renata
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
2. Or the SeoulCeuticals Snail Repair Cream made to reduce fine lines and dark marks. It contains shea butter, aloe, and jojoba oil to help your skin feel smoother and more rejuvenated than ever.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this. It smells so good (citrusy), goes on well and melts into my skin rather than sitting on top. I used this along with the snail mucin from Cosrx. Makes my skin so smooth and soft. This is it for me. I will continue buying it for as long as they have it. Oh, and very hydrating without a greasy feel! Lasts all day long for me and I have semi-dry skin. You won’t regret it." —Jenny Antle

3. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream in case you're hard on your hands at work or wash them a ton, and now they need some life put back in them. This cream hydrates skin cells while drawing back in moisture and creates a barrier to prevent future moisture loss.
Promising review: "I just got this stuff last night and I'm really impressed! I work in food service so I am constantly washing my hands. They have been so terribly dried out this winter but my regular moisturizer wasn't doing anything for the flaking, cracking, and paper-thin skin. I was slathering my hands with moisturizer multiple times per day. Anyway, I used this stuff before I went to bed last night and I can already tell a huge difference! The cracks around my knuckles look like they're starting to heal up, my hands are super soft, and the best thing of all is they look and feel moisturized. It feels too good to be true but I don't think it is! This stuff doesn't stink (it seems to have absolutely no scent at all) nor is it greasy. However, it kind of leaves your hands feeling like they have a film on them. I'm not complaining though! This is heavy-duty stuff really made for people who work with their hands." —Brandy M. Thielen
Get it from Amazon for $9.49.

Promising review: "I've only used it twice so I can't confirm the lasting effects yet, but they feel amazing — very soothing and cooling. And they start off plump and gel-like and then after 30 mins they are thin and dehydrated so I can tell that the liquid has soaked into my skin. They aren't sticky when you put them on; they sit on your more like wet suction." —Taeya Ngo
Get a pack of 20 pairs from Amazon for $14.97.
5. Bio-Oil, a serum packed with all the good stuff like vitamin E, chamomile, and lavender oil to help improve the appearance of dark marks. This non-greasy body oil helps retain essential moisture in your skin so you can stay hydrated and give your skin the love it deserves.
It's not an overnight miracle but if you use it twice a day you could see results in no time.
Promising reviews: "Smells great. No sticky residue. Absorbed by skin fast, but leaves skin hydrated. I got it for my belly during pregnancy and used it today. Found myself putting it on several times because I like it so much." —Amazon Customer
"Love the feel of it when you put it on the skin. Get a softer feel. Haven’t noticed any changes to the scars or lines yet but I like to put it in the night, especially during winter as in the morning my skin is still moisturized and not feeling dried up." —Raj Jash

Once it is on your face you do not smell it anymore. My skin feels so soft and I swear my skin looks so good, not as blotchy as it did before the maks. I am hooked after 1 application." —Amazon Customer

I personally use this balm when I double cleanse and I SWEAR by it. Not only does it remove all the dirt and oil you didn't even know was there, but the texture is so smooth it's like rubbing butter on your face. I have dry skin and after using this my skin is so hydrated it looks and feels like I just got a facial.
Promising review: "A tiny amount goes a long way!! I ALWAYS have makeup under my eyes after washing my face, but this takes it ALL off! Not even a speck of makeup left! Just massage a little on your face then rinse it off, and your makeup is washed clean off! It’s very moisturizing too! I don’t notice a scent at all which is perfect for me since I don’t care for scented facial products." —Audra S

Promising review: "I must say I really am becoming a true fan of 'K-cosmetics' particularly moisturizers and skin care. Do not let the gimmicky packaging fool you as these are top-of-the-line products that look like they are packaged in a toy. This eye stick is remarkable, it is solid and it goes on feeling a bit wet but when it sinks in the tender skin around the eyes feels so good. This is a real must for anyone who particularly lives in a really dry environment." —D. Matlack
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

"I love this lip mask! I have always struggled to find a lip product that would keep my severely dry lips at bay and this is the product! I have been using this for the past few weeks and I have never had such plush smooth lips. I wear it at night and sometimes during the day depending on what I am doing. If you struggle with dry lips, I highly recommend you give this a try." —Holly2176
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $24 (available in eight scents).

Promising review: "I live in Wisconsin and have terrible dry skin in the winter. This year it has been worse than normal for whatever reason.

I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone who has very dry skin." —Chris C.
Get it from Amazon for $6.37.
12. CeraVe's Skin Renewing night cream — this holy grail moisturizer is packed with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to promote hydration while also protecting your skin's natural barrier.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this stuff: "I have sensitive, combination skin that's also acne-prone (especially when I get stressed or don't get enough sleep). I loved it right away, noticing the plumping, soft, hydrating effect it gave my skin after the first use — without any greasiness or overpowering fragrances. And after getting an allergic reaction to a different product, this cream got me THROUGH. TL;DR: CeraVe night cream really is fabulous, whether you have dry winter skin, combo skin, or your skin just needs some hardcore TLC after something goes awry. And for $15 a jar, you're getting quite a lot of skincare bang for your buck."
Promising review: "The first night I used this my skin improved!! Redness/bumps reduced, my skin was soft. I have very sensitive, oily, acne prone skin and this did not irritate my face at all. I wake up and my skin is soooo soft. My skin texture has drastically changed in just a week. My makeup applies so smooth and my pores even look better. My new go-to!" —Melody
Get it from Amazon for $15.38.
13. A container of Aquaphor multipurpose healing ointment to soothe, protect, and restore smooth skin. Whether you're a new parent dealing with the joys of diaper rash, a tattoo aficionado in need of some aftercare, or just someone battling with chapped skin during the winter, this ointment has you covered — literally!
Promising review: "At first I wasn't sure I'd like this product because it is so greasy; I even heard it referred to as 'the new Vaseline.' My doctor recommended it for my cracking cuticles and fingers. I discovered that I was using too much, my mistake; I was applying it like regular hand lotion/cream. Once I learned a little goes a long way, I love it!! I keep the jar beside my bed and rub a small dab on my hands before turning off the light so it has all night to soak in. My hands are now crack-free and soft even though it is the middle of winter with extremely frigid weather." —Mooselady
Get it from Amazon for $15.97.
14. A lightweight eye cream that'll keep your delicate under-eye area plumped and nourished while you're out with the family picking apples in the crisp autumn air.

FYI, the packaging has recently changed!
Promising reviews: "I LOVE this eye cream. I actually like the hydration so much I use it all over my face. This is definitely a great product and I have told several of my friends about it. It hydrates the skin really well and has no fragrances." —Stephanie N. Troy
"For years in the harsh New England winters, my eczema would flare up on my eye lids and burn like a mutha f-er, and would look gross because it would all be red and swollen and I couldn’t put makeup on them. Then I randomly tried this eye cream and I’ve never had a flare-up again. Highly recommend!" —Natasha Young
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
15. CeraVe's Hydrating Cleanser, which is like a tall glass of water for your skin with its hydrating trio of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. It's gentle enough to use day or night, on any skin type. So if you like to wake up with a refreshing cleanse or want to wash off the day after a long night out, this cleanser has your back (or, in this case, your face).
16. Or a bottle of Youth To The People green tea cleanser to keep your face hydrated and fresh before heading out to wait in Black Friday lines. Packed with antioxidants from superfoods like kale and green tea, this gel turns into a foamy lather, leaving the skin super moisturized and clean.
I personally use this face wash and I've been through about four bottles so far. I love that it gets super lathery, so a little goes such a long way. My skin gets very dry in the winter, so I also love that it gets my face clean without my skin feeling tight or stripped of moisture.
Promising review: "AMAZING! I got this cleanser in an Ipsy box and RAN to order it larger size on Amazon. It makes my skin feel refreshed, as well as hydrated and clean. I have dry and oily skin — depends on the weather — and this cleanser stands the test over all types of seasonal changes. LOVE!" —Alexander Hallal
Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in three sizes).
17. Some Shea Moisture 100% coconut oil so your feet won't feel parched on those days you keep a heater by your desk while you WFH.

I love it!! It’s even great for putting the shine back into anyone’s hair. As we get older we lose some of the luster and shine, this coconut oil gives it back, makes your hair look shiny and beautiful again!!!" —Irene S.
Get it from Amazon for $13.88.

Promising review: "I love this as a nighttime moisturizer. It’s a gel-textured formula that soaks into the skin quickly and doesn’t feel greasy. My skin was so dry over the winter and this was surprisingly very hydrating and got rid of all my flakiness and dry patches. It’s also unscented, so maybe good for sensitive skin as well. Love this product!" —Eharmon1
Get it from Amazon for $20.10.
20. Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream in case "cracked" isn't a strong enough word to describe how your elbows and knees get starting in late October. This cream is made from natural ingredients like honey, beeswax, royal jelly, and olive oil to nurture and heal your skin.
It works on dry hair, too!
Promising review: "Just got this yesterday and I am already in love! In CO the air is dry more often than not and in the winter it can be brutal on my skin. Washed my face and applied this just before bed and it really packs a punch! It does take a few minutes to absorb, but this morning my skin was bright and it had diminished some of the blemishes on my face. I have combination skin, am prone to breakouts and blackheads and even though this feels a little oily when you first put it on, it doesn't feel like it clogs my pores at all. Gives my skin exactly what it needs without feeling sticky or heavy like the VaniCream I was previously using. Love the ingredients, something I can feel good about putting on my skin!" —Amanda S.
Get it from Amazon for $16.
21. 54 Thrones' truly multi-tasking body butter you'll want to have on hand and apply to your knuckles and ankles when your office building decides to crank the heat up to 78 degrees on a random Tuesday. This butter is formulated with shea butter, baobob oil, and jojoba oil excellent for nourishing and protecting dry skin.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis loves this stuff: "I'm happy to report that I've have found *thee* body butter that not only has my skin glistening like a glazed donut in the sun, but it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, moisturized, AND it smells amazing, too. The rich, creamy, and suuuper thick texture is incredibly smooth, especially when rubbed in. My favorite scent is Egyptian Lavender + Moroccan Mint. I've been using it on my hands daily since I got the opportunity to try the brand. But when I'm feeling ~fancy~ (or am just going out for the night), I apply the Kenyan Hibiscus + Moroccan Rose all over after I shower to lock in a beautiful, floral scent. Once you try it, you won't be able to live without it in your beauty routine!"

22. A rosewater mist for when you're working from home and the dry indoor air *plus* the heater on full blast is making your skin dull and lifeless. Rosewater instantly refreshes and hydrates your face.
I've personally bought two bottles of this rosewater and the third on is on its way from Amazon now. I not only use it in my morning skincare routine, but I also use it throughout the day when my face needs a quick refresh in this hot Georgia weather.
Promising review: "It is all you can ask and more from a great moisturizer, skin refresher, and all-around go-to product for just a slight pick-me-up. I use it for my skin, face mainly, and my hair for the light smell. My whole family loves it, I have to buy them two at a time so that I can at least use them when I need or want to use them. I recommend using this as a natural moisturizer for both your skin and hair." — Charlie W. Gorham
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes).

If you have dry and sensitive skin like me, this is the body lotion for you." —Pamela

24. A Neutrogena hydrating gel cleanser that will leave your skin feeling refreshed and moisturized instead of tight and dry when you step into the cold morning air. This gel turns into a foaming face wash that gives you a deep clean while still boosting the skin's moisture and locking it in.
Promising review: "I love the new packaging and quantity of product for the price. I’ve been loyal to Neutrogena’s HydroBoost face wash for years, so I knew what to expect. It hydrated my skin while getting it clean. It does take a double cleanse after using makeup to get it clean, but for regular use it’s great with one wash. I can always tell the difference if I don’t use this product daily. My skin is just not as hydrated and looks very dull. For best results I recommend a full 60-second massage of the product into the skin. Within a week of consistent, intentional application any blemishes are gone and my skin is soft, dewy and radiant. I highly recommend trying this product if you’re looking to get more moisture and reduce texture. It works really well for sensitive skin and does not have too much of a scent. It lathers as expected but not like super soapy." —Ms. Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $9.94+ (available in two sizes; refill pouches also available).

"Great lip balm. I've been using it since I was on medication that dried my lips out badly. Works very well. Used about four times a day while on the medication.

The tube lasts me a solid four months, so it's definitely worth it." —Marisa

It heals popped pimples, irritated skin, cuts, scrapes, burns, you name it. So after the stuff the doctor gave me wasn’t doing much, I took matters into my own hands and applied some of this Cicaplast Balm. Within two hours I looked like a normal human being. I cannot praise this miracle product enough. I’m pretty sure it’s crafted with angel tears and unicorn magic. I’m blown away." —Sage P.

This is the first sunscreen I've ever used that doesn't leave any weird discoloration, feels great on my skin, and it aids in reducing hyperpigmentation. I even have sensitive skin and haven't had any breakouts while using Bolden's sunscreen. A pump and a half is all I need for my face and neck.

39. A fast-working calming cream with a natural extract from chamomile oil that hydrates the skin and helps relieve redness. It can be good to use after laser treatment, long-term sun exposure, or post-shaving.
Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I’ve had little success with anything topical that will provide relief to my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon my face is almost completely healed. The cream prevented peeling, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I’m completely amazed! I’ve applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It’s got to be witchcraft because not even the different RXs I’ve tried over the years have produced these results. *I will note there was a very mild sting that lasted a couple of seconds when initially applying but that was likely due to the raw skin. It was completely bearable." —Amazon Customer
