This blend of extra virgin olive, almond oil, grape seed oil, lavender essential oil, and vitamin e can also be used to moisturize your cuticles, strengthen your nails, and can be used on dry, itchy scalps.
Promising review: "A lady once told me that quality body oil is the secret to youthful skin and I can now see why. I’m on my second bottle and can truly notice a difference! It leaves my skin moisturized without feeling greasy the way that coconut oil, almond oil, shea butter, and/or cocoa butter can. This is also very convenient in that it works for everyone in our household (myself, husband, toddler, and 8-month old). It’s even helped calm down an angry patch of baby eczema." —Elle

Promising review: "This toner was a serious game-changer for my face. I originally received a small sample from the company about a month ago, and I had to buy more before I ran out. Before using this product, my face was both oily and dry. I suffered from extreme cystic acne and eczema on the lower portion of my face, while my t-zone and forehead was like an oil slick. Within DAYS of using this, the redness in my face completely diminished, and any existing acne I had disappeared without a trace. While I still have a few cystic acne spots, my skin would not be how it is now without this toner." —lbest

Promising review: "I have suffered from rosacea for about two years now, and most recently, it has turned into acne rosacea. Unfortunately, I have tried oral antibiotics, prescription creams, over-the-counter creams, etc., without any results. After a horrible flare-up that was requiring me to cover my face in green makeup to mask the redness, I decided to try rose water. I like the fact that this product is 100% distilled rose water — no other chemicals or ingredients. My face is ultra sensitive and EVERYTHING causes inflammation, so I wasn't sure how I was going to react to this product. I am pleased to say that after only using this for one day, my redness decreased by about 40%. The acne began to dry up, but my skin did not! Day two and I am at a 60% improvement in redness and my acne is almost completely gone! I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone suffering with Rosacea." —JmeF

Promising review: "At 63-years-old, I have finally found a product that cleans my skin effectively and gently. I've been using it for almost a year now, and my face has never felt so soft or smooth! Even though my skin is dry, this scrub does not dry out my complexion." —BeckySue

Promising review: "I was under the impression that cremes like Nivea are extremely oily and sticky. But dude, I love this. I was in Philadelphia and it was really cold there, so my skin ended up getting extremely dry. I stayed with a friend who had this, and I tried it out because I couldn't find any other moisturizer in her bathroom. And boy oh boy, my skin was rejuvenated after just one use. Like, I am not kidding — my skin immediately felt super hydrated and moisturized, almost like the moisture had reached to the deepest of layers my face! The immediate effect is slightly sticky, but just give it some time to absorb. Please give it a try, you won't regret it." —A. K. Singh

This vegan and cruelty-free scrub is formulated with avocado oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil for the ultimate dose of hydration.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim and I have no regrets! It smells delicious — like toasted almonds and almond cookies! I use the lip scrub before bed, and I could immediate tell the difference. My lips are smoother and softer, and my chapstick lasts much longer on my lips. I made my husband use it once, and his lips were also much smoother and super soft after just one use!" —Cowie

This daily cleanser contains prebiotic thermal water, ceramide-3, niacinamide, and glycerin.

This facial spray is packed with aloe, herbs, and rose water to give a glowy, dewy look that will make even a full face of foundation look au naturale.
Promising review: ""The redness on my cheeks has gone way down and I have a much more even complexion after just four days. I've been lightly spraying this on my face after cleansing with the Mario Badescu Rice Milk Carnation Cleanser and again first thing upon waking. It smells very nice and magically fixes skin problems — even my acne has cleared up! I'm very impressed." —Terryoke

Promising review: "This is genuinely the best lip balm I’ve ever tried. I’ve had severely dry, cracked lips since I was a teenager, and basically everything I’ve tried in the past has failed me on one level or another. I’ve been using these Jack Black balms for the past six months or so, and my lips have looked soooo much better. I used to have cracks, and the layer of skin would constantly peel away. I had light scarring and discoloration due to years of dryness and peeling, but not anymore! This even kept my lips protected during a very cold winter in the Midwest. I have six of these floating around my house/purse/work backpack. And I don’t ever see myself using another lip product." —Cara

Be sure to dilute this mask with either apple cider vinegar or water for the best results! AND! You can apply it with this golden facial mask brush.
Promising review: "Cystic acne: the bane of my dermatological life, and maybe yours too? This clay has helped immensely in keeping it at bay. I do a treatment once a week (since it is a bit time-consuming), but I haven't had any of those awful underground, takes-two-weeks-to-surface pimples since I've started using the clay. Combined with apple cider vinegar, it's immensely helpful for oily, cystic acne-prone skin. My skin's been so much happier since I've started using it. You need this. Right now." —Rebecca Shady

Promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC. I saw drastic results literally overnight. I thought I had outgrown my acne problems, but then I switched to a new birth control and started breaking out in tiny, stubborn pimples all over my forehead. After wrestling with it for a couple weeks by using the cleansers and scrubs I had on hand, I decided to order the Yes To Tomatoes balancing moisturizer and this cleanser. The cleanser arrived before the moisturizer so I used it by itself, and the very next day the acne was all but gone." —blackmallow

Just massage this oil into your nails and cuticles every night before going to bed. With daily use, your nails will begin to grow and strengthen (seriously, just read the overwhelmingly positive reviews) and your ripped-up cuticles will begin to heal/not look completely terrible.
Promising review: "HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. All my life, I've had super weak and brittle nails that would instantly break the second they grew out a tiny bit. This oil has changed EVERYTHING!! I’m shocked. I noticed after about a week of nightly use that my nails are growing (fast) and not breaking." —K. Black

Promising review: "I used to always tug at my skin with makeup remover wipes because it was so difficult to remove it. Now that I use this balm, I just rub it all over my face and it breaks down my makeup in a matter of seconds and removes most of it with one swipe using a makeup remover!" —Deanna863

This cruelty-free chemical exfoliator uses several acids (AHA, BHA, and PHA) to unclog pores, fight acne, and do away with dark spots — all while moisturizing, conditioning, and exfoliating your skin. HOORAY!
Promising review: "I was really skeptical about buying this, but I'm so happy I did! I started using this about a month ago: I first noticed that my skin texture was WAYYY smoother, and then I noticed that all of my active acne fully went away. This product has also been a lifesaver for diminishing dark spots! I use this product every night, follow it up with rosehip oil, and it's perfect." —Alexa

This formula (packed with vitamin C and antioxidants) feels super cool when it goes on your skin, and is non-comedogenic so it won't clog your pores.
Promising review: "LOVE this stuff and I have for years, and I'll admit I'm not a fan of most Garnier products. This moisturizer doesn't feel greasy in the slightest, yet it is immediately soothing and it feels like your skin is drinking it in. You can wear it under makeup during the day or at night. I can't say enough good things about this product! I'm 43 and still get hormonal acne every month, and this product has never made it worse, and has actually helped clear it up when my skin, despite the pimples, has gotten too dry due from astringents and other facial cleansers for oily skin." —Maria

Promising review: "If you are doubting this product, stop what you are doing and buy it right now. It WILL change your life. I had SEVERE eczema on my face and it was incredibly painful: I had red, inflamed, itchy, flaky, and disgusting skin. I tried everything, from organic to high-priced products, and nothing worked until I picked up a $2 sample of this at Walgreens after reading the reviews online. Well, it is a miracle product. My face feels amazing. I use it twice daily, and my eczema is gone. It has also diminished my acne breakouts by 98%. I also want to add that I didn't get anything for free or was asked to do this review, I just honestly needed to share my experience." —Susana Rodriguez

Promising review: "Wow! This sunscreen lives up to every positive review I have read. I use sunscreen every single day, and this performs better than most.

A few reviewers have also used this for body acne, with truly wonderful results!
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I have very sensitive skin, cystic acne, and rosacea. This has significantly calmed my SUPER problematic skin. I noticed a significant difference within hours of applying it — I just pat this in with a dampened cotton pad." —KarenLouise23
Promising review: "Love this product! It's the only thing that gets my fake eyelashes (and all the glue) off after a show or photoshoot. I have very sensitive skin/eyes, and this product removes all my eye makeup without causing any allergic reactions . I bought my mom a bottle and now she's hooked, too! I can't recommend this stuff enough." —lazerlibby

Promising review: "As a makeup/skin care enthusiast, I have to admit that I'm always looking for the holy grail of products. I recently became interested in marula oil, but spending $50 on a more expensive product is way too much for me. Saw this and, because it's organic, got great reviews, and is affordable, I was sold. My skin absolutely looks like it's glowing. My lines are less noticeable, the annoying small bumps under my eyes are slowly disappearing, and a little does go a long way!" —michelleh

This silicone cleanser dries quickly, meaning it doesn't act as a breeding ground for germs and bacteria (you know, the kind that can cause pimples and other havoc).
Promising review: "This is awesome. I'm a licensed esthetician and know a thing or two about skincare, but unfortunately, I have such sensitive skin that most exfoliants I've tried really irritate my skin and can end up triggering eczema or psoriasis flares. This is a gentle enough way to exfoliate that it gets the job done for me without irritation. As a plus, the massage-like effect it has would aid in microcirculation and probably aid cell turnover (as exfoliation does in general)." —Michael Schiffmiller

Promising review: "This has been the most amazing face mask I have ever tried, and I suspect that it will replace all other masks in my collection. It is amazing for my sensitive skin! I love how it leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, and it even seems to gently exfoliate my skin when I wipe it off. I have been taking this everywhere with me and I've been using it on an almost daily basis. This is a holy grail product!" —rayla311

Promising review: "This face wash is the only one that doesn't break me out or irritate my rosacea-prone skin. Yes, it is a little pricy compared to other face washes, but a little goes a long way. Literally just a pea-sized amount does your whole face. I use this every single day and only need to purchase two tubes a year. I'll keep buying this product for as long as First Aid Beauty makes it!" —Chelsea H.

Promising review: "This is hands-down the best shaving cream I have ever used. First of all, the smell and feel is incredible. Second, it lathers up incredibly. Finally, the fact that it's in a toothpaste-style tube is nice since you can squeeze out every drop, plus it's easier to travel with than an aerosol can." —M. Johnson

This serum also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps even out skin tone, and fights dryness.
Promising review: "This is the best serum I've ever used, hands down. I've been using this serum for about three years now, and I really see results. My skin doesn't break out and it looks tight, plump, and radiant. I even use this under my eyes and I get no dark circles. For the price and results, this serum is definitely worth it compared to the other expensive serums out in the market. Love!" —flawlessangel

I tried this sheet mask last night after washing, exfoliating, and toning. It was really nice. The lavender smell wasn't too strong, and the mask left my skin feeling really soft and hydrated." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I had been using micellar waters for years to remove makeup. I got this cleanser as a gift, and I've been really pleased with the results! The micellar water used to dry my skin out (even if it was super gentle), and it also took a lot of rubbing and cotton pads to remove heavy makeup. But this milky jelly cleanser cuts through a full face almost instantly! It's very calming on my acne-prone skin, smells lovely, and it hasn't caused any breakouts or dryness on my super sensitive skin!" —PeebyKo
