1. A box of Mighty Patch blemish patches containing hydrocolloid to spot-treat those pesky skin eruptions that always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times. Leave 'em on overnight, and in the morning you'll be rewarded with a patch full of gross yet satisfying white residue (aka pimple gunk).
BuzzFeed Shopping's Ciera Velarde says: "I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these one right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and is practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!"
Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway

2. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner for anyone who loved the look of their shiny appliances the first week they got them, then quickly realized they're actually a breeding ground for fingerprints. It's made with aromatic lavender essential oil, which polishes and shines without streaking and creates a protective barrier for preventing future smudges.
Promising review: "The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless-steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana

3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll replace lingering smells — you know, the ones that always make you think, Wow, should I be cleaning my garbage disposal? — with a bright, lemony scent. Plus, watching it bubble up is pretty fun!
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

4. A roll-on migraine stick you can dab over your temples, forehead, and neck whenever you feel a headache coming on. It contains peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils, which can help ease pain at the onset, and since it's about the size of a tube of lip balm, it's perfect for keeping in your bag in case one of those pesky headaches sneaks up while you're out and about.
Promising review: "This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines usually once or twice a week. This product I put on each temple, under my nose and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985

5. A beloved carpet cleaner that'll help you keep your cool the next time your dog/kid/S.O. makes a mess on that white rug you insisted on getting. Don't worry, it'll make stains and regret vanish!
Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. We have a 1.5-year-old puppy and have make several futile attempts to clean up carpet stains from her potty training days. Another dog owner clued us into this, and we cannot believe we didn't buy it sooner. Seriously, the same night this arrived, I spilled an entire bottle of beer on white carpet (oops), grabbed the Folex, sprayed a bunch onto the stain, massaged it into the carpet with my finger tips, and blotted with a damp towel. You can't see ANY remnant of a stain. I've also attacked old stains (like 1-plus year old) and saw the same results. Seriously, buy this!!!" —AKM

6. Or a nontoxic carpet cleaning solution any pet owner will want in their arsenal, stat. You can use it with your vacuum, and not only does it help remove those stubborn stains, reviewers say it'll take care of lingering odors with its refreshingly minty scent as well!
This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free.
Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.

7. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp, because achieving the perfect cat-eye shouldn't be a major source of stress in the morning. Line your eyes using the fine end, and then *boop!* stamp the outer corners to complete the look sans shaky hands.
Oh, and it comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it' LOL but overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" —Samantha Lopez

8. A water-based, nontoxic grout pen that'll have those gunk-coated spaces between your tiles looking downright dazzling without any bleach or heavy scrubbing.
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving, and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I'm very happy with this product!" —Jenelle

9. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer, which has over 19,000 five-star ratings — probably because it's more than just a smooth makeup base. It contains squalane, which mimics oil naturally found in our bodies to keep thirsty skin hydrated, so your face will feel as good as it looks. Oh, and reviewers say your makeup will. not. budge with this stuff.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought I'd take a chance. I have sensitive skin and have to watch what I use. I LOVE this product! Goes on smooth and you don't need to use a lot. I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!" —Leslie Mattingly

10. A tub of *iconic* cleaning paste The Pink Stuff, because once you realize how much stain-lifting power this unassuming stuff has, you'll wonder how you ever got anything clean without it. Not only does it get stains out, it does so quickly and with minimal effort on your part.
After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out the photos for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN.
Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in packs of two or three).
11. Or a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend you can use on practically anything in need of a little refresh. Grease-coated pans? Check. Rust-stained shower? Check. Streaky stainless steel? Check.
Promising review: "Bought our refrigerator seven years ago when we moved into our house and within a year rust spots showed up (cheap and didn't clean the stainless steel properly). Have tried numerous products over the years with no avail. Received Bar Keepers Friend today and after dinner decided to give it a whirl. This product was easy to use and all the rust stains are gone. My wife came in and said, 'Where are the orange spots? I never thought those would go away.' Highly recommend and will continue to clean our appliances with this product." —Andrew Riebesehl
Get it from Amazon for $8.70 (also available in packs of two, four, and six).
12. And a pack of melamine sponges, which are fantastic for tackling mysterious wall smudges, dirt, and grime without the need for chemical sprays. Just wet with water and wipe!
Reviewers say they're an excellent dupe for the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!
Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

13. A bottle of truly legendary Bio-Oil Multiuse Skincare Oil to take your skin from borderline scaly to oh-so-soft after just one application. It's formulated with vitamins A and E, along with chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to provide much-needed hydration without clogging pores or making skin feel greasy (the worst!).
Promising review: "I've been using Bio-Oil on and off for several years. I love it. I have some slight scarring from bad acne when I was younger and after a few months of applying the Bio Oil the scarring was considerably improved and my skin was smoother. I have oily skin so I was concerned about using any type of oil on my face, but this stuff doesn't make me greasy at all (and I use it before bed). Added bonus; I LOVE the scent." —Amazon Customer

14. A pack of disposable Houseplant Sticky Stakes for keeping pesky buggies off of your precious houseplants! Stick 'em into the soil and try staying calm when you realize just how many insects are in your home. 😬
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time, I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan
Get a pack of seven traps from Amazon for $6.93.
15. A rust stain-removing gel that'll get rid of the orange grime covering your shower, toilet, and sink so you'll actually feel clean while you're taking a bath and washing your hands. These photos are giving me so much drama I think I need some popcorn.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —T-urtle

16. Or a bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner, because if you're one of the lucky people who actually has a jetted tub, the last thing you probably want is a luxurious soak in what's actually a tub full of dirt. 🤢
It only takes 15 minutes to clean — just run the water, pour it in, and turn the jets on!
Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review: "This product works! We stopped using our jetted tub because of all the nasty stuff coming out of the jets when we turned them on. Nothing seemed to work to clean them until I tried this. The first time I used it .... oh my gosh.... so much stuff came out. So the next day I did the same thing and it was an amazing difference. Since we had not used the jets in so long I gave it one last run. Now we can use our jets and have a wonderful bathing experience. It only takes a small amount so even after three times we have plenty left for many more cleanings. I will be using this on a regular basis to keep things nice and clean. Glad I finally found a good product!" —Cynthia Kachnic

17. A popular foot exfoliant you can wear with your legs propped up as you binge your favorite series. Your jaw will *drop* when you see how much these transform your feet.
With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!).
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. My feet were dry, cracked, and needed this. This works AMAZING! After two to three days my feet felt itchy. Trust the process. After the third day my feet began to itch a little. I showered after work and it just be prepared because the process was FREAKY! My feet are so soft, no cracks. I love how they feel and look now. I bought a second pack. I’ll continue to use this foot peel." —Mermaidme

18. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because how clean could your dishes really be if your dishwasher itself is a mess? Their subtle, crisp scent is a welcome change from those rancid odors that often creep up over time with dishwasher use, and in terms of your dishwasher's appearance, I think the photos speak for themselves.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising review: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" —Old Southern Charm
Another promising review: "Just get them. Changed the way my 20-year-old dishwasher works. Much cleaner dishes and the interior is like new. First time you use it, run it empty with just the cleaner. I didn't realize how much mold and ickiness it got out of my machine." —drpicard

19. A tube of antiperspirant lotion for anyone who's ever experienced excessive hand sweating and is like, no more! Just dab a bit of this onto your hands in the morning and at night so it can work its sweat control magic and you can go about your day with dry palms.
FYI — some reviewers said that their hands felt quite dry after using this and recommend following up with a moisturizer.
Promising review: "My daughter has had hyperhidrosis her whole life. She literally dripped sweat (...drops!) from her hands and feet. She has been using this product for a few weeks twice a day on her hands, and it has stopped her sweating where even prescription options have failed. As it started to work for her, she said her hands felt 'chalky.' I felt her hands, and for the first time in her life they felt like everyone else's hands normally feel. Her self-esteem has instantly increased. I'm so glad I found this product. It's amazing." —Shannon Nintzel

20. A 100 percent natural oven scrub made of pumice that'll cut through tough stains just as well as chemical cleaners, meaning no unpleasant odors to see (smell?) here. In fact, reviewers say the slightly minty scent is actually a treat for the nose!
It also comes with a metallic scrubber!
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising review: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe
Another promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!" —Traci Hutchinson
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
21. An affordable set of makeup sponges reviewers say are a great dupe for much pricier ones. You can use 'em wet or dry, and their uniformly tiny pores ensure even coverage.
Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." —chris

22. A dedicated red wine stain remover that'll ease any apprehensions you might have about hosting friends now that your new white couch has finally arrived.
Wine Away is a woman-owned, U.S.-based business!
For best results, absorb the excess liquid, then saturate the spot with the stain remover. Let it sit for one to five minutes, and then blot it out. This product can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint and grease.
Promising review: "When you have anything white in your house and you have a love for red wine THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST! We had a dinner party of about 15 people in our house so I bought five bottles just in case. Someone spilled red wine on our brand-new white couch. I was so mad, but I used this stuff and it was GONE. It didn't just take most of the red wine out — the red wine was GONE! No trace of it at all! I will buy more!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.91.
23. A — dare I say — life-changing Scrub Daddy, because if you haven't tried this Shark Tank star yet, it'll change everything you thought you knew about what a sponge could be. It gets soft in hot water for light washing and firm when cold for more serious scrubbing, and its uniquely soft yet powerful material won't scratch surfaces. Plus, it dries quickly, meaning it can go weeks without retaining odors.
Promising review: "This durable little dude has scrubbed his way into my home’s heart. Firm in cold water, soft in warm, he handled scrubbing all my counters, my stove, dishes, and then the bathrooms last — before I threw him in the extra hot dishwasher where he emerged like new. I would have gone through three Magic Erasers in that time — but now I can save those for chores more geared to them. Bravo, Scrub Daddy. You’ve earned your crown." —kjamador
Get it from Amazon for $6.39 (also available in packs of three or four).

The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.
Promising review: "I did notice my clothes smelling, let's say, not so fresh. Kinda funky. After reading the reviews, I purchased a box (which according to the box, lasts six months). OK, I'll try it. I've got a new washer with a button that says "Clean Washer." How easy can it get? The first load of clothes after using this product, I was an immediate fan. Wow! What a difference! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Love the side panel to check off the month you used it. Thank you!" —Two Fishes

26. Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray, which anyone who experiences redness and irritation should include in their skincare regimen. It's a pH-balancing hypochlorous acid toner, meaning it'll soothe and nourish sensitive skin, and reviewers say the light mist made them feel refreshed, not greasy.
Tower 28 is a small biz whose founder, Amy Liu, has struggled with eczema for years. The brand specializes in products for sensitive skin, and everything is also vegan and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "This product is a life saver. I haven't had any major breakouts since using this facial spray. Whenever I feel my skin getting irritated, I just spray this on to help heal/soothe it. This product lessened the redness on my face and helped improve the overall texture/appearance of my skin. Also started using this on my mom two days ago and we've noticed a lot of the red texture on her skin fading out. Love this and will continue repurchasing!!" —MargaritaYanga
Another promising review: "I struggle with acne and needed something to help calm and soothe my skin when it was really irritated. My skin tends to be dry right after cleaning and spraying this leaves my skin feeling so comfortable and like I haven’t done anything to it. Back to normal happy skin feel. It is part of my daily routine now. Absolutely love this!" —CliftonM2121

Promising review: "Very light, covers anything, wears well, and improves skin texture. I have been using for one year, consistently, love it. Highly recommend. I even use it on the back of my hands." —Zukimima
Another promising review: "My makeup artist used this on my wedding day and I was so blown away with the coverage of my redness. I ordered a jar for myself shortly after and it’s quickly become a holy grail in my skincare/makeup routine. I don’t even need to use green concealer if I put this on under my makeup. The SPF is an added bonus!" —MariaTheGreek

Promising review: "I bought this for my cat because he had ear mites when I got him and when they cleared up, his ears were left with a bunch of nasty wax and I couldn't get all of it out in fear of pushing it farther down.

Promising review: "We tried everything to get rid of hard water stains and nothing worked. We were getting our house ready to sell and our tub and sink were a mess. We tried this product and it worked immediately, restoring everything to like-new. It was fast and really worked! We even used it to clean our glass stovetop. It was amazing how clean it got things. I have a bad back and have to be careful about scrubbing things and it takes no effort to use. We use it in our new house and love it!" —Bradley
Get it from Amazon for $18.77.
30. CeraVe's Hydrating cleanser, which was specifically formulated with dry skin in mind. It gently removes residue without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, and contains essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help restore and maintain the skin barrier.
Promising review: "Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It's been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It’s been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!" —L Ashburne

It's safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!
Promising review: "I moved into a new apartment in September, and the kitchen was full of grease stains on the floor, floorboards, walls, and cabinets. They must have been there for a long time, since I was never able to get them up. I tried every type of cleaning solution, brush, sponge, wipe, you name it. The second I used this product on the stains they came up immediately. I didn't even have to put any elbow grease into it, I literally just wiped over it a few times and it was gone. I would leave more than five stars if I could." —alysonnnnn__
Another promising review: "Works well at getting out turmeric stains from my formica countertops and kitchen sink. I have used other degreasers, but this is the best one so far. Also, it doesn't generate fumes that make me cough." —s patel

The Hate Stains Co. is a small biz that was founded by a parent who set out to create a stain remover that was nontoxic but effective.
Promising review: "I've tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I've tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded. I can't believe I didn't have this sooner, I'm about to buy a gallon!" —Mark Bogumil

Based in Austin, Texas, Puracy was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children.
Promising review: "With a little one, a dog, and an outdoor-loving family, I am constantly doing laundry. I have tried other natural stain removers and none really do the job. They get out some stains, or need to be washed within 15 minutes and retreated, which isn't always a reality in our home. This, however, is amazing! I haven't met a stain this can't handle! It has to soak for a long time, which makes laundry easy and allows for flexibility. Also, it has no odor, no residue, no damage to clothes. It is amazingly easy to use and does an amazing job. I have gifted this to a few friends with babies just because it really is that good!" —Trixie L

It's safe to use on color-treated, chemically processed, and gray hair!
Promising review: "The only dandruff shampoo that works! I have type 3b/3c naturally curly hair, and occasionally I get itchy scalp pretty badly (especially in the winter). While this shampoo is not moisturizing whatsoever, it gets the job done of preventing itchiness and flaking from dandruff. I tried this because many other Black women and WOC said it works on their natural hair. Great addition to your wash and go routine in the winter, plus it smells good!" —MaidenSeptember
Another promising review: "It's never easy to face dandruff and other hair and scalp issues. I'm a woman with thin and thinning hair who developed dandruff over the past year, despite using gentle shampoo and good conditioner. This shampoo is amazing. The scent is not only not bad, it's downright pleasant. It has reduced my dandruff by 90%, and I sincerely believe my hair loss is slowing, based on what I lose during each shower. If you're like I was and on the fence about trying a dandruff shampoo for the first time, don't hesitate. Try this. And if you're dissatisfied with your current dandruff shampoo because it smells like armpit tar death, don't hesitate. Try this. Cheers!" —melham

36. And a dry shampoo powder that'll keep your hair from looking greasy between showers. Its organic rice starch- and colloidal oatmeal-filled formula absorbs excess oil while giving hair some extra volume, and the sweet-smelling lavender and grapefruit scents are the cherry on top!
Promising review: "It makes my bangs and roots look fresh again. And I love that this is a powder and not a stinky aerosol spray. That also means that this lasts MUCH longer. I use it every other day when I don't wash my hair since I have very oily roots. I've been using it for almost a month and barely any is missing out of the bottle. A little goes a long way." —R. G.

37. A bottle of Tend Skin's shaving solution you can apply post-shave to help tame razor bumps and ingrown hairs for a smoother appearance with less redness.
Promising review: "This stuff is magic in a bottle!! I struggled with extremely bad folliculitis for years and nothing would work to help it. I have tried just about EVERYTHING and nothing. I would have awful bumps and stinging and burning. This stuff helped after just one use! While it didn’t completely clear after one time using it with multiple uses it completely took away the redness and bumps!!! This stuff is a life saver!! It does dry out your skin some so I recommend a moisturizer after." —Lisa Kippenberger

Pop one in and brew as if you were making your favorite hot drink, then brew again without the cup to rinse it out.
Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues, and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results… VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West

Annnd check out what BuzzFeed Shopping's Maitland Quitmeyer had to say about this product in her full Bottle Bright deep dive.
Promising review: "Despite being diligent and rinsing my bottles out, they do tend to accumulate funky color, slight odor, etc. and generally just get gunkier over time. I heated up a pot of water, filled a few bottles, dropped one of these into each, and 15 minutes later most were sparkling clean, good as new. A few of the worst needed to be left a few hours/overnight, but in every case these pills worked magic. I also tried one just for kicks on my stainless steel lined coffee pot, over five years of daily use with filtered water, monthly descaling process, etc. but still showing browning inside, and one pill cleared all the stains away." —C Stevens

40. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers, because let's be real: Are you remembering to reapply your sunblock throughout the day? ...Yeah, just what I thought. They'll appear clear when your sunscreen is working, then turn purple as its effectiveness wanes. Now you'll know you need to re-up!
Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

41. And an SPF 50 sunscreen serum made specifically for breakout-prone skin so you can feel confident about slathering it on. Not only does it offer protection against UVA and UVB rays, it actually helps correct dark spots and soothes breakouts while blending seamlessly into your skin.
ZitSticka is a small biz specializing in skincare products for sensitive, breakout-prone skin with the goal of destigmatizing topics like zits and acne.
Promising review: "My skin has improved so much since I started using Megashade. Highly recommended to anyone who has hyperpigmentation." —Ailin
Another promising review: "This is now the only sunscreen I use. It looks fantastic under all base products and actually helps in their application (no pilling!) My favorite thing is that it’s a one-and-done product: sunscreen, acne prevention, and makeup prep all in one easy step. The fewer products used on oily, acne-prone skin, the better! I am 39 and still have much of the same skin concerns I’ve always had and it would have been great to have this product 20 years ago. I have tried other, much more expensive options, but this is best-in-class for us acne-prone folks. I am already on my second bottle and will continue to repurchase. Lastly, it’s kind of fun to use with the cute little bottle-and-dropper system. If you don’t enjoy the chore of applying sunscreen every day, this will probably help you change your ways." —KR

42. Plus a tube of Supergoop's (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder with SPF 35 that comes in handy when it's sunscreen reapplication time and you're trying not to mess up your look. Pro-tip: Brush it over your hair part since it won't make your roots look greasy.
Promising review: "I have a few of their products and let me tell you, this is my favorite. It's easy to apply, mess free, and super lightweight. Super practical; I carry it in my purse for an easy replication." —brenda03312
Another promising review: "Purchased this product for my wedding — knew I would have professional makeup done and that we would be taking photos outside. I have very fair skin and burn very easily, so I knew I needed some sort of SPF protection. This was perfect to brush over my face, neck, and shoulders before photos and I was completely protected from the sun! Highly recommend!" —Jennyg788
