1. COSRX's Snail Mucin Repairing Essence addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌
Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say:
"I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help kick my all of stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"
Promising review: "So I have been using this for a month and I have to say — AMAZING. It really has helped my dark spots, which are also tied to my hormones. So the fact that it lightens them and keeps them from getting dark again during my period is a testament to the power of this stuff. Plus, this stuff just keeps going!! One pump is enough for my face, or two for my face and neck. Because of this it will last! It works amazingly well and considering how much you get, this is an amazing product. I highly recommend it." —JH

2. And the brand's Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer is the natural next step as it pairs *perfectly* with their repairing essence. 😊 The TL;DR: it can help relieve redness and dryness!

Promising review: "I fought buying this, but after several friends swore by this, I caved. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin but also have some fine lines. Let me tell you, after applying this I immediately felt my skin calm down. And the next day my skin was glowing and my acne had diminished. This will forever be apart of my regimen." —arand5292
Get it from Amazon for $16.
3. SKIN1004's Zombie Face Masks employ albumin (an ingredient extracted from egg whites) and aloe vera extract to visibly hydrate, lift, and brighten your complexion in just 15 minutes. Just FYI: Reviews say the tightening effect can be startling, but the results are worth it!
Promising review: "I've had my eye on these for A WHILE. It seems to be a possible comp for the viral Hanacure masks. It’s a two-step wash-off mask. The smell is a bit reminiscent of household cleaner, which I don't love but it doesn't cause any skin irritation. As it dries, it shrinks a lot. But it's no more uncomfortable than a standard clay mask. It washes off easily with water. My skin has a lovely glow and brightness after." —rookery
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $25 (also available in multipacks).
4. K-Beauty brand The Saem's Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick improves under eye elasticity and keeps bags at bay so no one will be the wiser if you nostalgia-binged The Angry Beavers (my fellow '90s babies — it's on Amazon Prime!!!) into the wee hours of the morning. Plus, it comes in a cutesy polar bear container and, I mean, that's enough to sell me.
How does this cute lil' guy work, you may be asking? It's filled with active marine ingredients like Icelandic moss, xylitol, niacinamide, and adenosine — that's how!
Promising review: "I love this so much! It's super hydrating and feels really nice under the eyes. Recently my eyes have been super puffy due to allergies and this has been helping. I would recommend putting it in the fridge before you use it so it's extra cooling. I think that this product is comparable to if not better than Milk Makeup's Cooling Water Gel Stick (which I have also tried)." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
5. Mighty Patch Hydrocolloid Spot Treatments speedily pull the pus out of your most worrisome whiteheads. (Sorry that was a gross sentence, but it is what it is. 🤷♀️) Before you head to bed, just slap the dots right on any zits and they'll work their magic overnight.
Promising review: "I do not claim to understand the science behind these tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit, and the overnight results were Shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick." —Adg
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.97.
6. Bio-Oil is sure to come in clutch for anyone who spent their teen years picking and prodding at pimples. If you were left with acne scars and skin damage as a result, it'll swoop in and encourage new collagen production and help with elasticity.
Take it from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord:
"FWIW re: scars, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review: "I used to work at Sephora AND a Nordstrom beauty counter for 5+ years and hands down, this is the best facial oil I’ve used. I have DRY skin, so I use it to hydrate and give a dewy glow. Goes great under makeup, and makes my skin look so healthy." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and a 24-pack).
7. Revlon's oil-absorbing Volcanic Face Roller works just like your go-to oil-blotting sheets but doesn't create any extra waste! Just roll the mattifying stick all over your T-zone (or anywhere else that gets greasy) and it'll soak up excess oil.
And no, the volcanic roller doesn't mess up makeup!
Promising review: "Great addition to any skincare routine, particularly for those with oily skin. It is amazing how good it actually works!! I have combination skin and I get really oily around my T zone, so the roller feature makes it really easy to target that oily area better while avoiding the more dry areas of my face. Works really well for at-home and on-the-go use. It is super portable and small enough to toss into a purse or carry-on, making it perfect for travel or use throughout the day. It's a great value for the price, and the results are noticeable. Do yourself a favor and buy!" —Olivia
Get it from Amazon for $5.19+ (available in two colors).
8. Rhode's Four Daily Skin Essentials Kit includes the brand's Pineapple Refresh Cleanser, Glazing Milk, Peptide Glazing Fluid, AND Barrier Restore Cream so if you're ready to throw out your whole routine and start fresh, you can do so in one fell swoop. The products are gentle enough to be used morning and night and they come with a cute bubble bag so you can take them on all of your travels!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with Rhode products. I needed to restock on the glazing milk, serum, and cream so I grabbed this kit to also give the face wash a try! I am blown away! I have super sensitive skin and these products leave my skin feeling so hydrated with no breakouts!" —Taryn C.
Get the 5-piece set (including the bubble bag) from Rhode for $109.
9. Perfect Image's Glycolic Acid 30% Gel Peel removes dull, uneven layers of epidermal skin and stimulates cellular activity to reveal a softer, healthier complexion underneath. The professional-strength formula — which is boosted with retinol and green tea — also allows your skin to better absorb future products.
And FYI: Perfect Image is a small biz.
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely incredible. In January of 2017 I finally decided to try an at-home peel in conjunction with retinoids. Take a look at the photos I posted and you'll see how happy I am with my progress (after photo on the right taken June 2017). I've used this peel once a week and have had incredible results. Previously I did three rounds of Fraxel, which only resulted in severe pain, peeling, and grossness. Oh yes, and an empty savings account. For 30 bucks every few months I achieved better results than I got at a dermatologist's office." —Meredith
Get it from Amazon for $29.96 (also available in 10% and 50% strengths).
10. Clean Skin Club's 100% bio-based face wipes are just the ticket if BeautyTok has convinced you to ditch regular towels which — even when freshly laundered — can harbor acne-causing bacteria.
These are 100% USDA-certified bio-based, meaning they're made entirely from plant-based materials and better for the environment than your regular disposable wipes.
Clean Skin Club is a small business that launched in 2019 to create innovative natural skincare products.
Promising reviews: "Starting in my 30s, I had developed some acne, and not just around that time of month. I read your bath towels can develop bacteria every few days if they're not washed, and so putting that on your face can cause acne. That's why I bought these towels! I use them after my skincare routine on my face, and then again, to clean up our sink (yay for double use)! They have cleaned up my skin significantly, and I highly recommend these!" —Jaclyn O
"I’ve dealt with mild acne and terrible scarring since I was in 8th grade. I’m 30 now. I haven’t had one pimple since I’ve switched to using these. I use the same towel for about 3–4 days, which is 6–8 uses, so it’s not even necessary to use a new one every day / every use. They’re really wonderful." —Dami
Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $17.70 (also available in other packs).
11. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant helps scrub away dead skin cells, leaving behind clear pores and a bright complexion. Apply it morning and night (after your cleanser and toner) and it'll leave ya lookin' as radiant as Ben Affleck when caught by the paps holding a whole tray of Dunkin' iced coffees.
Promising review: "I have every skin issue you can think of. Rosacea, acne, dehydration, excessive oiliness, redness. I’ve spent probably thousands on a multitude of different products. I’ve had many procedures, many trips to the dermatologist. Nothing has made such a profound difference in the appearance of my skin. Having rosacea, my face often felt hot, bumpy, and burned. While my complexion is naturally fair and pink, this has seriously covered all my bases in a gentle and effective way. I’ve been trying to turn my skin around for YEARS!! this was the product that did it. If I could give it 100 stars I would. It has seriously changed my life!!!"—hc
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in three sizes).
12. LilyAna Naturals' Eye Cream targets dark circles and puffiness so everyone in the office will assume you got a full eight hours of sleep and definitely didn't stay up until 3 a.m. scrolling TikTok...
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS! I spent every weekend for about a month buying high-end moisturizers and eye creams and then returning them because my dry skin had gotten soooooo bad and nothing was helping! This has helped tremendously. I was about to give up on even wearing concealer because it was looking so dry and crepey but my concealer is looking good again since I've been using this for a few weeks! I am also noticing a small change in my fine lines. Like others, I started using this as a face cream as well and I could not live without this product! It is the most hydrating product for my face and eyes!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four sizes).
13. CeraVe's Hydrating Facial Cleanser combines hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin to rid your pores of makeup, dirt, and excess oil while also locking in moisture. It's certainly no secret, but if you've been looking for a sign that it's time to finally try it, consider this it. ⬇
Promising review: "I can't rave enough about this product! It has the ability to really make your face glow. I have dealt with extremely dry skin for most of my life. There was not enough moisturizer in the world to get my skin to feel hydrated and quenched. Then, CeraVe entered my life! The hylauronic acid along with the ceramides rebuild your skin and turn over old cells to leave you glowing. I noticed a clear difference from the day that I began using the product. My skin felt more youthful, moisturized, hydrated, and radiant after the first use. If you feel like you are missing that glow to your skin, this is a staple on any bathroom vanity! This is a 10 out of 10 every single time!!!" —Andy
Get it from Amazon for $11.72+ (available in three sizes).
14. TruSkin Vitamin C Serum wards off wrinkles, evens out dark spots, and helps brighten your overall complexion with a 🍃plant-based🍃 blend of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil.
Promising review: "I am so pleased with how the TruSkin serum is working, not only has my hyper pigmentation and discoloration completely subsided, but my skin feels so hydrated and supple! My skin has been put through the wringer these past few months because I started taking Spironolactone and using a topical retinoid to help with my acne. My skin was extremely dry and riddled with dark spots but after just a few weeks of using the TruSkin vitamin C facial serum, it looks and feels brand-new! It has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine." —Selena Sandoval
Get if from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).
15. RoC's Retinol Correxion Eye Cream addresses puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. One reviewer says it took 10 years off of their face in just five days!
Reviewers say patience is the key with this cream! It might take a couple of months to see results. (Note: This product contains parabens.)
Promising review: "I don’t write reviews, and I'm a huge skeptic. This eye cream is awesome! I almost don’t believe it! The pictures are proof. I’ve been using it for three months. Twice a day! I am blown away by the results. It’s so affordable, and if you're like me, I’m not a huge skincare guru!! Amazing product! Very happy with it." —Vett
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes).
16. Thayers' Witch Hazel Facial Toner tightens up pores, reduces redness, and keeps oil production in check with rose petal water, witch hazel extract, and aloe vera. As far as curb appeal goes (or counter, if you will), we also love that the bottle looks like it came from an old-timey apothecary.
Promising review: "I have an oily forehead and very dry cheeks and jaw area. I coupled this product with Naturium Niacinamide Face Serum and CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the trio had done WONDERS for my skin and pores. Since implementing the new routine, my skin is glowing nonstop with zero break out periods. I HIGHLY recommend getting all three but this product specifically has closed up my pores and makes my skin feel incredibly fresh to the touch." —Diamond Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in four sizes and six scents).
17. Makeprem's Defense Me Daily Sun Essence delivers effective UVA and UVB coverage without a white cast or that typical sunscreen smell (you know the one). Instead, the moisturizing, reef-safe formula offers a light pear and jasmine scent which, imo, is much more pleasant. 🍐
Promising review: "This sunscreen leaves your face feeling fresh and dewy after only a pea-sized application. A little goes a long way and I can attest to that since mine took 4–6 months to get emptied out. What I really like about this sun gel is that it’s nongreasy and it really protects my face from the heat of the sun. Let me also tell you that it does not give you a white cast so they won’t have you mistaken for a friend of Casper. No need to reapply. When I come home from a long day out, I notice that my skin still gives out that glowy and youthful complexion. What I love: non-greasy, mineral sunscreen, good for sensitive skin, no irritation and no breakouts, no strong smell, easy to pump, results to matte finish, quick lock-in, healthy glow and dewiness are attainable." —Riz
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
18. DearKlairs' Midnight Blue Calming Cream quickly calms and soothes skin whether you're dealing with irritation caused by acne, laser treatments, sun exposure, or 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. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon, my face was 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." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two sizes).
19. A Tree of Life's Power Trio is the definition of "more bang for your buck" with vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid serums for less than $30! When used in tandem, the routine can help reduce dark spots and fine lines, support elasticity, and brighten and hydrate skin.
Be sure to follow the brand's instructions on how to use these together!
Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" —Caitlin
Get the pack of three from Amazon for $31.49.
20. Blume's Meltdown Acne Oil can help clear skin without depleting moisture. The nourishing rosehip, blue tansy, tamanu, and black cumin seed formula can be used as a spot treatment or mixed into your moisturizer for a full-face treatment.

If you're trying to combat more than one issue and want to keep your routine simple, try this baby out!
Promising review: "This is my daily staple. I use twice daily on my face and neck. It is literally the best for skin. My skin is dewy, clear, smooth, and radiant. I live in a very dry environment at high altitude with extreme winter temperatures and the oil provides a nice barrier to the elements." —Victoria
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
22. Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator clears pores and addresses uneven texture while keeping your skin's protective barrier intact. If you're a "I need to know the ingredients!" type of person, it utilizes gentle cleansers like salicylic acid, colloidal oatmeal, and gingko.
Promising review: "I use this product to exfoliate dry skin on my face. I've tried other products and they were fine, but this one is fantastic. It leaves my skin smooth and ready for moisturizers. It's a staple of my morning routine. Love it!" —JT
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in four sizes).
23. Mediheal's Cotton Facial Pads address every skin woe in the book. Whether you're looking for firming collagen, revitalizing retinol, pore-minimizing papaya enzymes, or inflammation-reducing tea tree oil... there's a vegan, hypoallergenic pad for that!
Promising review: "I’m truly amazed at how quickly this product has improved my skin's overall texture and made blemishes vanish overnight. And I mean significant blemishes, not just small ones. I apply it by putting a patch over the trouble area, leaving it on like a mask for about 10–20 minutes, then gently rubbing in the excess. Even when my skin is clear, I still use it every few days by applying one patch to each cheek and forehead, and it's incredibly effective both ways. If you're hesitant, don't be — this product actually delivers results, and I've tried so so so many alternatives." —Moe B.
Get them from Amazon for $19.80+ (available in seven varieties).
24. Acure's Brightening Facial Scrub — with sea kelp and French green clay cleanses — softens, detoxifies, and evens out skin tone when used three times a week.
Promising review: "I am a skincare lover; I probably have $5,000 worth of skincare products and this is definitely a staple in my routine. I use this about three times a week in the shower and it gives my face a nice glow. I have sensitive skin and this is great. Instead of spending money on an exfoliant, purchase this and save your money for a good serum!" —Jill
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).
25. SeoulCeuticals' Dayglow Serum harnesses the power of six potent ingredients — vitamin C, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitamin e, citrus stem cells, and organic centella — to give you a bright, just-left-the-esthetician glow.

Get it from Amazon for $16.
26. Hanalei's Sugar Lip Scrub buffs away dry, chapped skin with cane sugar and then locks in moisture with Hawaiian kukui oil and shea butter so you don't have to desperately lick your lips every two seconds in a failed bid to keep them hydrated.
Promising review: "This sugar scrub is a 10/10. I added this to my bed time routine and it has already made a tremendous impact on my lips. I’ll wash my face with a gentle face wash cleanser, then apply this sugar scrub after. I’ll take a slightly damp face cloth and rub it away so I don’t remove the moisturizing aspect. My lips feel smoother and softer after 10 days consistent use. I feel refreshed and reset before I rest. I highly recommend this product. Also, I have sensitive skin, and this scrub has not irritated me. Add this to your routine asap!" —Laney87
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

Promising review: "I love the sunscreen from this brand, so I figured, why not? This is my first time ever using this and wow. I’ve been working on balancing the oil production on my face with products and getting my makeup to stay in place. I used this before applying makeup and wow! You can see [in the photo on the right] my most problematic area (my nose) get all the oils pulled out. My face did not feel dry after this and my makeup stayed on the whole night. This is amazing for oily skin!" —Diana Pizano
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in various sizes).
30. Laneige's✨ brand-new ✨ Bouncy + Firm Radiance Boosting Sleeping Mask helps eradicate dryness, dullness, and loss of elasticity with a peony and collagen complex that also happens to smell lovely.

Krave Beauty is a Korean woman-owned small biz that believes in simplicity and aims to make skincare easy and stress-free in an oversaturated and complicated industry.
Promising review: "I struggled with oily, acne-prone skin and a damaged barrier since I was a teenager. But I've been loyal to this cleanser and the oat moisturizer since they came out and y'all...it took some time, but my skin is finally, FINALLY, in the place I always wanted it to be. It has the perfect texture, amount of lather, and after-feel of any cleanser I've ever tried. Do your skin a favor and try this." —Monisa A.

I have dry, sensitive skin that can be prone to breakouts, but this product always leaves my skin feeling soft, dewy, and SO CLEAN. It also seems to minimize pores, reduce inflammation and irritation, and works great as a primer before applying makeup. Basically, it's magic. Highly recommend!" —Blythe Anderson

Promising review: "WOW GUYS!!!! This pore cleansing oil is AMAZING!!! My cousin told me about how it went viral on TikTok so I thought I would try it and it’s been working wonders. I have tried so many face washes and nose strips but with this, my blackheads and pores are shrinking tremendously. It also smells good and makes my skin very soft. I use it right after I get out of the shower while my pores are still warm and opened up — then I rub circles with two squirts of the oil on my face for about a minute and rinse it off. This is a miracle worker!!! Goodbye blackheads!!" —SK
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
34. And Primera's Alpine Berry Watery Soothing Gel Cream absorbs ⚡️lightning fast⚡️ while providing a refreshing cooling and soothing effect. If you're prone to redness, tightness, or general irritation, this deeply moisturizing gel will be your BFF.
I just started using this moisturizer, from K-beauty brand Primera, a month or two ago and I've already vowed to repurchase it when I hit the bottom of the pot. I have combination skin and often creams make me oily while gels aren't quite hydrating enough. This stuff right here though?? This makes my skin downright luminous. It swipes on SO nicely and absorbs almost instantly which I appreciate because I hate feeling tacky or greasy. The slight cooling effect is also extremely refreshing and makes my skin feel even cleaner after I cleanse it. (If that makes sense?) A little goes a long way, too, so I think it's worth the price.
Promising review: "I have sensitive, combination skin and on the days I need extra hydration, this is my go-to. It’s super lightweight yet moisturizing." —HS
