Promising review: "This cream is the freaking holy grail in a jar. Oh my GAWD. It really reduces inflammation on my skin and it looks so much better the morning after. It's a pretty thick cream, so don't use too much and massage onto your fresh, just washed face. I use it only at night (but you can use during day and night. Whatever works for you) and OMG. Just OMG. Try it." —Leslie

4. A callus-removing gel gives you professional pedicure results at home if scrubbing, soaking, and filing have failed you.
Promising review: "Amazing. Now I know the first pic is gross but that just shows how bad my feet were, scrubbing, pedicures, soaking all just made it worse until I found this cream! I mean it seriously shows In the pics. The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture.

Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in waterproof and sculpted volume versions).
7. An exfoliating scrub mitt helps you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it often!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation.
Promising review: "I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh.
I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." —Kat
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a set of two).
8. A leave-in conditioner made for kids (and grownups) with curly hair and tender heads gives you some picturesque results thanks to its hydrating and detangling formula of vitamin B5, jojoba oil, keratin, and more.
Promising review: "My granddaughters have long curly hair, and this is the first product that actually worked at getting the tangles out! Their hair was soft and no tears were shed while combing through… which to me is most important! The smell is nice, not overwhelming… over all this is just a great product and I will definitely be buying again!" —Danielle Bustamante
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
9. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream – it's made to soften and freshen up your under-eyes...and according to reviews, can help lighten dark facial scars.
Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
10. COVERGIRL TruBlend Undercover Concealer targets most anything you'd like to cover up on your beautiful visage. Psst, you can totally get away with skipping foundation thanks to this super blendable stuff.
Promising review: "Not only is the packaging of this concealer cute and classic, but it also provides really great coverage. You only need to use a little bit to get great coverage, the applicator is great, and I don't have any problems with creasing (although I don't have any fine lines either). If you're wanting a concealer similar to expensive brands but at a drugstore price, you'll like this!" —Kayla Williams

11. Or Tarte Shape Tape Full Coverage Concealer, a more precise holy grail concealer that makeup obsessives have been raving about since it launched because it's so easy to use and ACTUALLY stays put. I too have jumped on the bandwagon. Won't you join us?!
I gave up on concealer ages ago bc of fallout, but I no longer fall victim to that when wearing this! It's full coverage with a creamy, easy-to-blend formula that's also great for contouring. Reviewers with dry skin suggest making sure to use a moisturizer before using (though you should be moisturizing anyway!).
Promising review: "I can't say enough positive things about this concealer! Be sure to apply it with a wet brush/blender and on top of your foundation!!! (it wasn't until recently I realized a lot of women are applying concealer before foundation 😱) Definitely a beauty bag must have!!! ❤️" —RowdyNation#18

12. Corsx Acne Pimple Master Patches attack and help flatten out painful blemishes by sucking out the gunk without irritating your skin around the blemish like drying treatments.
Promising review: "Omg, where has this been my whole life? Why did nobody talk about hydrocolloid patches when I was a teen? These truly do shrink your pimples (as long as it is an open or popped one). I just put one on before bed and by morning, voilà! All that's left is a small bump, if anything at all. I seriously couldn't believe my eyes. (All those years of suffering from acne! I'm in my thirties now with hormonal acne, btw.) These are magic!" —Julie W.

13. Bio-Oil — it may just become your hypoallergenic, nongreasy, and dermatologist-recommended go-to for lessening the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Or it can also just serve as an amazing body moisturizer.
I've used this stuff before on a variety of bumps and scratches I've accumulated on my legs as an extraordinarily pale and clumsy human. I think it's really worked! Also I've used it as a body moisturizer in the dry, dry depths of winter with supple results.
Promising review: "I swear by this product. Very effective on discolored skin due to scarring. I had shingles on my face brought about by stress because we were moving. It ravaged the lower right side of my face and I was pretty sure it was going to leave hideous scarring. I bought this and started applying it when I started scabbing and still haven't stopped using it til now. I had my shingles april and its august now. Check the before and after pics. It works." —twitch

15. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer, a TikTok-famous lightweight base primer with TONS of amazing reviews because it helps to reduce the appearance of pores and make your makeup apply like buttah.
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
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.

Promising review: "Amazing product! I've suffered with KP on my arms for 15 years and nothing helped. This product didn't just help, it completely cleared it away! I noticed a big difference after just one use and a month later of using it two times a week my arms are smooth and I'm no longer embarrassed of them. I'm so excited! This product has changed my life!" —Sherrie Ruiz
Get it from Amazon for $30.
17. Plus a CeraVe salicylic acid body wash exfoliates any rough, bumpy skin (minus the microbeads) to leave you feeling smoother and moisturized thanks to moisturizing hyaluronic acid and calming niacinamide.
Promising review: "I saw improvement within the first couple uses. It reduced the small red bumps on my legs and elbows. Works as advertised!" —candace
"I never do reviews...but this product WORKS! I have KP on my legs and it got rid of it 10000%. It must be used consistently and you have to also exfoliate with an actual natural loofa or something similar, but YOU WILL SEE RESULTS. Great product for a great price! Would give 100 stars if I could!" —layla mahmoud

Credo Beauty is a woman-owned small biz marketplace founded by two beauty industry veterans and curated to meet their strict Credo Clean Standard.
Promising review: "I have tried a few clean beauty foundations and this was the best next to another brand that isn't sold at Credo. I actually have two matches!! Anyhow, the shade/undertone range, wear and feel of this foundation and primer (got the set) is by far commendable!!!" —T156 T.

Promising review: "I love 💕 these little razors for all that peach 🍑 fuzz. My face looks so smooth now!!! They’re really easy to use. I had no idea there was such a product! My aesthetician used something similar on my face and I thought 💭 I can do that!! So glad I found it!" —Patti16
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $4.99.
20. An instant cuticle remover rids the area around your nails of dead skin but also soothes skin with aloe and chamomile.
Promising review: "I had never tried this before and I am so glad I did. It works great! Within seconds of applying it to my nails, the cuticle becomes soft and I can remove it right away. I used to never remove my cuticles when doing my nails, I guess because I didn't really know how to, but since I started using this product my nails look so good. I'm happy with the product and the results." —ABernal
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
21. Baby Foot is a lavender-scented foot peel that revitalizes dried, calloused feet for, tbh, a pretty disgusting transformation. (You're gonna want to send the pics to your group chat.)
This product is a dream come true for anyone who gets a kind of sick satisfaction from peeling off dead skin. (Let's face it, that's all of us, right?)
Promising review: "This mask comes with two baggies, and you place each of your feet into its own bag and tape it up to avoid leaking. The moment you put them on, the jelly-type liquid travels all over your feet and in between your toes, and it's the most relaxing feeling ever. You can feel your skin drinking in the moisture and nutrients. While you do not see results right away, your feet will smell amazing for a whole day after the treatment. After six or seven days, all the dead, dry skin starts falling off, and your feet really do feel baby soft. I never thought I had dry feet, but oh boy, was I wrong!" —Melvika
Get it from Amazon for $25.
22. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible!
It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.
Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —jlgentr3
Get it from Amazon or $8.76.
23. Humane Acne Wash, a strong, 10% benzoyl peroxide cleanser that's totally vegan-friendly — the only thing it's cruel to is acne.
Promising review: "This is a miracle product for adult acne! I've spent so much money on different products and prescriptions throughout the years, and nothing has consistently worked. To my great surprise I started seeing improvements to my face within the first three days of using this. Three weeks later, I could cry because I'm so happy with how my skin looks!" —Frances25
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (or $22.46 with the Subscribe & Save option).
24. Radha Rosehip Oil is an all-natural solution to a ton of skin problems. It helps hydrate skin, reduces the look of wrinkles and scars, and reviewers even say it helps their hair and nails.
Promising review: "This is LIFE-CHANGING! I'm 33 and have had dry skin my entire life. I decided to try this because the price was reasonable and the reviews were great. I was NOT disappointed. I cleaned my face the first night, applied a thick layer of rosehip oil, and went to bed. Eight hours later, I woke up to a new face. I have used this oil every night for about five weeks and it has completely changed my skin. My mom saw me one morning and remarked that my skin looked like it did when I was 8! I also love that you get a large quantity of oil for a super affordable price, and a little bit goes a long way. For the amount you get, it's SUCH a bargain." —TuffLuckCowgirl
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
25. O'Keeffe's Foot Cream rehabs cracked, painful heels. Here's to going to bed without socks!
Promising review: "I have struggled with dry, cracked, gross feet since I was a teenager. No matter what I did, the skin on my heels was always dry and would crack so painfully that sometimes it was hard to walk. I had just resigned myself to the fact that it could never change. My feet are so, so soft, nearly all of the cracks and rough spots are gone and the last few cracks are almost totally healed. I have been putting this on twice a day and it’s changed everything. If you are on the fence about getting this, get it!!" —Halley B
Get it from Amazon for $8.44.
26. Honeyskin Ultimate Face and Body Cream delivers results on all kinds of irritating skin issues besides rosacea, like eczema, psoriasis, and other rashes. TL;DR, it's good to have in your medicine cabinet.
Promising review: "I am absolutely blown away by the results from using this product. I have moderate rosacea made severe by pregnancy, and was at a major loss as to how to manage it. Unable to treat my rosacea as I normally would and with my sensitivity at an all time high (I couldn’t tolerate anything more than Vaseline), I decided to give this a whirl and could not be happier that I did. I think my picture speaks for itself, but within one week this cream SIGNIFICANTLY improved my rosacea and sensitivity and by a month my skin was completely smooth with minimal redness and scarring left from the months long flare I’d been having. Fan of Honeyskin for life here!!!" —LR
Get it from Amazon for $15.97+ (available in three sizes).
27. A simple ice roller seems to be the one thing missing from everyone's routine. Reviewers tout its soothing abilities for headaches, oncoming breakouts, and yes, for rosacea too!
Promising review: "Thinking about buying another because i cried a lot yesterday and did not want to go downstairs after rolling at evening to put it back in the freezer so it would be available in the morning. Forget the jade, rose quartz, etc...ICE is where it’s at." —Elise

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three scents).
29. BYO Blush Oil, which is criminally easy to ease. You just tap on a few dots and then blend with your fingers or a brush. It's green in the bottle and then turns *your* perfect shade of pink on your skin thanks to a pH reaction. Oh, and it's on a skincare list because it's packed full of good-for-you ingredients and you can even sleep in it (if you want).

Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer
30. A box of wart-removing pads you simply apply them like bandages. Get ready to say adios to that appendage even faster.
Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth." —J

Promising review: "I’ve tried many, many sunscreens that claim to blend and not leave a white cast when applied. This was so much better than I expected. A nickel-size amount goes a long way and blends into a smooth, dewy finish. I also didn’t notice a scent so there was no worries of walking around smelling like sunscreen." —Target Customer
Get it from Target for $15.99 or from Black Girl Sunscreen for $18.99.
32. Herstyler Hair Repair Serum with hydrating argan oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help you tame flyaways and get on with the rest of your life.
Promising review: "Tried this product after reading an article on Facebook about how to deal with naturally curly hair. I put it in my hair when it's wet. Let it air dry and it makes it amazingly curly. It also smells good. I get compliments regularly about how I smell good. And it's this serum. This took my hair from being frizzy and unmanageable to perfectly curly and EASY! Wish I would have found it sooner." —J. Miller
33. A giant foot file with review photos that'll shake your whole being. Like the one here!
This miracle worker has got over 5,970+ 5-star reviews!
Promising review: "This thing is pretty amazing. I was skeptical for sure, since I've tried all kinds of lotions, balms, and stone-based products, none of which helped my heels whatsoever. I've worn socks to bed for years, because if I don't the sheets hardly last a week before they have holes rubbed through them. My wife ordered this thing that looks like a mini cheese grater, lol, and after two minutes — two minutes!! — of rubbing it on my heel, it's a complete 180. I never would've believed it until I tried it myself. This is well worth double what it costs." —LBK

34. SOL by Jergens Deeper by the Drop Self Tanning Drops easily combine with your moisturizer to help pale folks develop a ~glow~ overnight.
35. Bruise cream in case you're like me and bump into everything even adjacent to your path, and then find bruises in very obvious places that could've come from anything, really.
Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in cream or gel).
36. A tea tree, eucalyptus, and lavender oil balm addresses a variety of annoying skin issues like itchy and scaly skin, rashes, ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and more. Reviewers say it worked on their skin problems much better than pricier treatments.
Promising review (for the images): "I have had persistent rashes on my hands since early 2018. I have tried so many creams and medications for almost two years. After four days of use my skin is almost clear, pain free, no cracks, and NO ITCHING. This balm is absolutely amazing. I also used the Puriya Mother of All Creams at the same time and the combo has been phenomenal!" —Alicia Pumphrey

37. Glow Recipe Redness Relief Serum is formulated with ceramides to help reduce redness and irritation, while antioxidant-rich avocado works to deeply nourish your skin.

Get it from Sephora for $45.
38. TOUCH IN SOL No Pore Blem Primer helps smooth out pores and fine lines for a smooth foundation application. Prepping your skin with the (v easy) priming step will make your makeup look so much nicer!
A bottle of this is currently sitting on my vanity! I've used lots of makeup primers (luxury and drugstore) in the past decade or so and this is my favorite. It's stickier than other primers and moves with my skin — all while feeling light and not like I have an extra layer on my face. I have a lot of acne scarring, some visible pores, and some forehead wrinkles, and this primer helps my liquid foundation glide over my skin so much more easily. The thing about this primer is, once you start using it you may hate all other primers because they'll seemingly do nothing in comparison!
Promising review: "I love the product! Very smooth and easy to apply! One pump does the trick! My makeup applies easily after applying this primer!" —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99. Paraben-, sulfate-, phthalate-, and cruelty-free.
39. Glossier Solution has chemical exfoliants perfect for babes with super sensitive skin to help lighten scarring, improve general skin tone, and slough off dead skin you no longer need. Say buh-bye to those physical exfoliants that leave you redder and more irritated.
Promising review: "I have spent years trying to find something that helps reduce the redness and bumps associated with rosacea. My skin is SO SENSITIVE, I had honestly given up even trying to use acne medicines as they just destroyed my skin. Even so, my skin looked terrible. It was so volatile, bumpy, and red. Makeup didn't hide it well, either. In January, I purchased Glossier's three-step cleansing and moisturizing system, and solution. My skin is amazing now. Honestly. I still get a few breakouts, but my once dead and dull, angry skin looks nice even without makeup! It's not fully recovered yet, but it's getting there. Thank you, Glossier!" —Kels 1.
Get it from Glossier for $26.
40. Era Organics Soothe Moisturizer deserves main billing in your daily routine thanks to anti-inflammatory ingredients like milk thistle, MSM, and chamomile. Seriously though, the reviewer pics are STAGGERING.
Promising review: "I thought red blotchy skin from my rosacea was just something I was going to have to live with. I didn't want to use prescriptive drugs. I stumbled upon this product, and with the great price, I figured I had nothing to lose. The first time I applied it I was so impressed. It has an immediate cooling sensation on the skin, a non-greasy formula and absorbed quickly. Within minutes my redness was gone. I was in shock. I stopped needing to wear foundation to hide my blotchiness. I love this product and can't imagine my life without it now!" —Battalglia

41. A scalp massager helps relieve you of itching and dandruff. Also, it'll feel like a total treat.
Promising review: "I have suffered from dry scalp and dandruff for years. I recently shaved my head and realized just how bad my scalp really was. Red irritated spots everywhere that became very easy to see with my short hair. After using this product along with a coconut oil moisturizer for three days, my scalp is already healing. The product is easy to hold, easy to clean, and feels great on an itchy scalp. I also don’t have dandruff flakes at all anymore. Trust me, you won’t regret purchasing this product!" —Britt
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
42. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo stops the flaky mess, once and for all.
It's got over 53,000 5-star reviews, and works for more than just dandruff. I get recurring bouts of fungal acne on my forehead, and I recently starting using this at the recommendation of the interwebs (its key ingredient is an antifungal). Every other day, I slather it on the affected area like a wash-off mask, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse off. My forehead looks better the next day!
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all of my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo
Get it from Amazon for $14.84.
43. Mederma Scar Cream, which I can vouch for working alarmingly well.
It works on everything from acne to surgical scars, and also has SPF 30 to protect that beautiful skin of yours even further.
Promising review: "I used an acne spot treatment that left me with a bad burn on my face. After it began healing, I was left with a fairly dark scar. After two weeks of using Mederma, the scar had already improved so much! After about eight and a half weeks, you couldn't even see where the original scar was anymore. —Jordan B.
44. A pack of blotting papers is one of those skincare products you'll wonder how you lived without until now.
Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and used countless types of oil blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. Great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. Give these a try — completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use." —Kelsey

45. Vanicream Moisturizing Cream delivers major soothing capabilities to your dry, cracked skin in a fragrance-free formula.
Psst, many reviewers said this helped relieve their eczema symptoms!
Promising review: "I have struggled with very persistent eczema for years and this product has been a godsend. Prior to finding this brand, I had been devoted to the Cerave lotion lines but they were not really helping to heal my skin. Come to find out, I am highly allergic to several of the ingredients commonly found in Cerave and many other lotions and cheap skincare products. Vanicream is so great because it has less ingredients, and more sensitive ingredients than any other lotion brand I have come across. I have never had any irritation from this lotion and it has gone miles towards healing my rashes and open wounds. I have used this religiously for about two years now and I am never going back." —Lauren B.

46. Stila One Step, Color-Correcting Facial Serum works as a makeup primer that's a step above the rest for anyone looking to create an even-tone canvas for foundation...or find a color-correcting solution that'd leave you makeup-free.
This reviewer ^ used it to cover up a bad sunburn!
Promising review: "My holy grail. This has become one of my favorite makeup routine products. I think it absolutely makes a difference in correcting my color and improves the appearance of makeup I apply over it. I had this in my shopping cart for over a year and finally took the plunge on prime day. I figured it was worth the risk to save a few bucks, but I will also continue to purchase at full price." —DesRoulette

47. Or if you're looking for some SPF too, Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment goes on cooling and smooth, is easy to blend in, and will make you look in the mirror five minutes later wondering where all that redness went! I use it daily as a moisturizer under my foundation and some reviewers even use it as a CC cream. It's *that* good. And it has SPF 30!
Like I said up there ^, I use this every single day and to demonstrate just how well it works, I put it on half of my face in the pic on the left. Seriously, the color-cancelling prowess is impressive. Also it took me nearly a year to go through the full-size jar. So if the price has you feeling iffy, you can try out a travel version. Seriously, I'm forever indebted to this stuff.
Promising review: "I have rosacea on both my cheeks and a bit on chin and also have a couple of acne spots on my chin as well and I’ve tried so many foundations to cover up my cheeks and no matter how full coverage my cheeks will still show through. So I decided to try this and I love it!!!! I use this after primer and moisturizer and then use a foundation (because I fake tan and my face is paler than my body) and my skin looks amazing!!! I’m so impressed! I love makeup but I could never really use a lot of face products because I was embarrassed. Definitely recommend if you have rosacea and want to wear full coverage foundation or even as a BB cream." —elyse1518

48. Wunderbrow, which is a super-long-lasting eyebrow gel that's waterproof so you won't have to worry about your brow filler sweating down your beautiful visage.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I’m one of those people who over-plucked in the past and now can’t get the thick eyebrows I once hated back. It does take practice and a little trial and error to get the perfect brow. I usually keep a cotton swab handy and sometimes have to reshape after I apply. It is waterproof and lasts a few days. I am careful in the shower when washing my face to wash around the brows. Photos are me out for a jog without anything on my brows, second is after delivering my baby — yes. After my water broke, I took a shower and applied my Wunderbrow! Lasted through 12 hours of labor and three days in the hospital. =)" —Tiffany Haney
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in five colors).
49. Biotin Shampoo made with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils and *without* sulfates. Reviewers say it helps with hair loss and preventing dandruff. (Gotta love a testimonial with photographic evidence!)
Promising review: "I've always had pretty great hair. Some dandruff/itching, but manageable. Three months postpartum, I was losing SO much hair. I know this is normal and it stopped after about seven months postpartum, I really think this shampoo has helped. I have much less hair fall than even before I was pregnant. The spots that fell out are grown back much faster than usual. Also, I was experiencing very itchy and scales of skin were flaking off my scalp. Head & Shoulders and Selsun Blue did nothing. But this actually stopped the itching and is helping my scalp heal. I found out that I have to wash my hair with it at least every other day and leave it on for a few minutes for best results. I can't use conditioner on my scalp or the itching and scales get worse, so I think you can use any conditioner with this shampoo and get good results. Totally a holy grail product for me!" —Mrs. Sparkles
Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in two sizes).
50. Rimmel Stay Matte Mattifying Primer gives you a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.
Promising review: "This product works!! I have extremely oily skin which means my face is super shiny within minutes of applying foundation. The second photo is without primer, a few hours after applying foundation….you can see all the shine on my forehead. The first photo is with primer 6 hrs after applying foundation….hardly any shine! I believe in the product so much that I gave a tube to my friend who also has oily skin and she absolutely loved it and uses it now! For the price, you can beat it compared to the expensive brands that are way more expensive and only a fraction of the size." —S. Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
51. Baebody Eye Gel, a depuffing, hydrating, and firming serum you can use on other places besides your eyes, like your face and neck!
It contains skin care expert–favored ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe.
Promising review: "Visible improvements and great price — holy grail product. I must have tried 100 eye products, most more expensive than this one. But after using for a week I am pleasantly surprised by the results — my eye area is brighter, firmer, and noticeably improved. This goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and works fine under makeup. I layer beneath my moisturizer and sunscreen and use a.m. and p.m.. And the price point is great!" —Call Me JennyB

52. Uoma Beauty Say What?! Foundation was developed with the Fitzpatrick Scale to better help your foundation look perfect while reacting to the sun. Um, why don't ALL foundations' formulations take that into account?
Uoma Beauty is a small business founded by makeup guru and Nigerian-born Sharon Chuter, who aims to create a wide variety of makeup products for all skin tones.
Promising review: "I bought this foundation to wear for my wedding. (I saw someone use it on TikTok) I've been testing it out and it's become my favorite foundation I've ever use. The blend, the color match, the stay, everything is just perfect. Wow, wow, wow." –Makenna S.
Get it from Uoma Beauty for $39 (available in 51 shades).
53. BestLan Hair Finishing Stick looks just like a mascara wand but its shaping cream tames your flyaways on those days when air drying and throwing your hair up in a bun or ponytail is all you can muster.
Promising review: "I’m in love with this product! I have a super curly hair that loves to frizz and now I can let it air dry, put it in a bun With no more flyaways thank God! It really isn’t crunchy at all and surprisingly it’s not greasy at all which is perfect for me with the curly hair! You won’t be sad you bought this!" —Karissa Chavez

54. Kulfi Beauty Main Match Concealer leaves you with zero caking or creasing —just the stuff you want on your face zhuzhed a little more zhuzhed.
Kulfi Beauty is a South-Asian, woman-owned small biz.
Promising review: "I have dark circles that I've just lived with for years because I couldn't find a concealer that looked natural. Trust me when I tell you I've used the best-selling concealers, but they all looked cakey and/or clownish.
Kulfi's concealer is a miracle product. First, the doe-foot applicator is the softest thing in the world other than a chinchilla. Seriously. I dab a few tiny dots of this product, which is the PERFECT MATCH for my skin and tap it on with my finger just where there's discoloration. If I'm feeling fancy, I use a concealer brush. I do NOT use a setting powder. It doesn't crease or cake. And I don't have reverse-panda-eyes.
FYI, I have hazel eyes, brunette hair, light skin tone, combination skin. My concealer match is Coco Crush." —Judie
Get it from Kulfi Beauty for $26 (available in 12 shades).
55. Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted Sunscreen Foundation gives ya' SPF 30 (the bare minimum of SPF you need, folks!) and helps even out your complexion...perhaps even replacing several products in your makeup bag. (The DREAM.)
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: "I’ve been looking for a tinted sunscreen for so long and have been through so many brands. After reading an article about this product, I went ahead and purchased. This is what I’ve tirelessly been looking for! Covers just enough, makes me dewy, and provided SPF 30 protection. I will be a lifetime consumer!" —KWally21
Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in 14 shades).
56. COLAB Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo blasts your greasy roots with a formula that works for you while you sleep. It's a heavier duty spray than regular dry shampoo but soaks in overnight for an easier morning routine.
I have this dry shampoo and it really does work so much harder than regular dry shampoo formulas. When you spray it on, it's more likely to look stark white (don't freak out about it like I did!), but you simply rub it in like you would a normal dry shampoo before you hit the hay. Waking up with de-greased roots definitely gives me a head start on trying to pull myself together these days when, tbh, I'm only (regular) washing my hair once a week. Because this stuff is so potent though, you should really only use it before bedtime. If you're curious about their regular dry shampoos, they're great!
Get it from Walmart for $9.18 or Bed Bath & Beyond for $5.99.
57. Onset Eyebrow Soap Kit sets brow hairs in place and can be used solo or with some brow pencil to really amp up those arches.
And! This consists of a mild, nonirritating formula that's organic and won't foam or leave any residue.
Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia BH, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
58. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips is, simply put, an extremely satisfying skincare treatment.
Promising review: "THESE ARE THE HOLY GRAIL OF ALL PORE STRIPS. SERIOUSLY. I ordered these about a year ago and have been reordering ever since. They pull everything out of my pores and leave them spotless. They make the skin very vulnerable after removing the strip, which makes it easy to pull out any remaining stuff in the pores. I like to exfoliate my nose before applying the strips to get my pores as open as possible for the strips to suck everything out. They cause no irritation and don't hurt to take off. I really didn't know how much dirt was on my skin until seeing the thousands of little hairlike structures left on the strip. If you don't think you need these in your life YOU'RE WRONG!! I WOULD 110% RECOMMEND" —Juliane Steenkamer

59. A pack of 24k-gold under-eye patches pamper and soothe your poor, tired peepers for a spa-like ritual.
Promising review: "Holy grail! This stuff gives instant results after just one use. It also has cooling feeling when you’re wearing them and I look forward to wearing these! These make such a difference and really lift the under-eye. Also, love that it comes with 20, so you really can’t beat that price, especially since it’s such a great product! Highly recommend!" —Lily Gurley

Get it from Blume for $28.
61. Differin Gel with Adapalene is a prescription-strength retinoid you can get over the counter that promotes skin turnover to help you heal and deal with breakouts.
Promising review: "I have a pile of used skincare sets in my bathroom. Been on a search for 'the' perfect one to treat my breakouts that started March this year. Last June, after months of consulting Google and reading tons of blogs and reviews, I found Differin. I decided to give it a try because of the good ratings.
"I purged in the first month of use. It was a part of the process, I understood. So I continued to use it. I am on my second month now, and my skin has improved from nay to yay! I’m still having my monthly breakouts but it’s so much better than my pre-Differin acne.
"Bottom line is, it works! And this is now my holy grail for skincare!" —evart john p. zambo
Get it from Amazon for $12.26+ (available in three sizes).
62. JVN Complete Hydrating Air Dry Hair Cream defines and lifts curls. But don't take it from me, take it from all the reviewers with fine hair who've previously had trouble finding products that do just that! Oh, and it helps protect hair from UV damage.
JVN is a hair care line from Jonathan Van Ness (yes, of Queer Eye and other wonderful things on the Internet!) created to help drive change in the beauty industry and celebrate each person's unique beauty. Cheers to that!
Promising review: "Leaves my wavy slightly graying hair soft, less frizzy and not weighed down. Great for my low maintenance wash and air dry ways. Love the packaging too." —megawf
