1. The SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick is a cooling eye stick made with *actual* Icelandic glacial water to depuff your tired under eyes. Oh, and it just feels really, really refreshing.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

2. Cuccio Cuticle Oil smells heavenly, but most importantly can treat sorry-looking cuticles and moisturize your paws. Oh, and it'll look lovely on your vanity. I have this and it takes just a few seconds each day!
Promising review: "This Cuccio milk and honey cuticle moisturizer is truly a cuticle saver. Applying one drop to each cuticle and massaging it in completely will leave your cuticles and hands feeling soft, looking great and the smell is divine. I use it on both my hands and feet and I’m comfortable showing my fingernails and toenails this summer because this product has made it so easy to feel confident knowing I won’t have crusty cuticles." —Rina C
Get it from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in 12 scents and three sizes).
3. 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 $7.99.
4. And Evridwear's Exfoliating Gloves give you control of the level of exfoliation a little more precisely than a mitt. Hello to your Everything Shower's new BFF.
Evridwear is a small business that specializes in gloves for work, personal care, and weather use.
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok make me buy this. So I buy it and I’m still a little nervous because it’s literally a glove. But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I’ve never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." —Brittney
Get a pair from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three textures, various colors, and as sets of two or three).
5. Schick Dermaplaning Razors tackle any peach fuzz you'd like to say bye to *and* will help you precisely shape your brows.
This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." —Megan Kopicko
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.64 (also available in a nine-pack).
6. 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
Get a 2 oz. bottle from Amazon for $9.99.
7. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller removes oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.09.
8. Compound W One Step Pads target plantar warts with a waterproof bandage in an NBD waterproof bandage you can apply and then go about your day.
Promising review: "This worked for me. Here's what happened. First bandage: Everything turned white. Second bandage: The top layer of the wart started disappearing and I could see the blood vessels that were inside it clearly. Third bandage: It started burning while wearing it. One day was REALLY painful, but now I think I just put the bandage on too tight. There was definitely burning though. Uncomfortable, not unbearable. Fourth bandage: The skin around the wart started to crack. Fifth bandage: The skin continued to crack and I could see the wart separating. Sixth bandage: Skin separating deeper. Wart was really soft but it wouldn't budge. Seventh bandage: The wart stuck to the medicine, so when I pulled off the bandage, the wart went with it. I'm left with some raw skin that's a bit sensitive but it feels fine. It looks like the entire wart came off, roots and all. Side note: It smells horribly. Make sure you put the bandage on tight enough to try and conceal the smell, but not so tight it hurts. Overall, not a horrible process. Make sure you follow the instructions and keep it on for 48 hours at a time. Two of mine were only on for 24 hours and I think that prolonged the process." —Chelsea Gipson

9. SheaMoisture African Black Soap is a fan fave for helping reduce oil, acne, and redness.
Promising review: "This soap is amazing. It helps calm down so much of the redness in my face each morning! My friend bought this for me as a gift and I’ve reordered it twice since then! Her and I both suffer from horrible acne and this helps soothe your face. My acne has reduced some since using this. I love how soft it is and it smells wonderful." —Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $8.82.
10. Jack Black Lip Balm intensely hydrates thanks to a shea butter and antioxidant vitamin E formula. Plus, it has SPF 25! This is my fave emollient lip balm, and I even turned a friend on to it during a frigid December trip in Vienna where we spent tons of time outside, and her lips were very chapped because of it.
Promising review: "So I have been a loyal Eos fan for quite some time but you constantly have to reapply and honestly my lips are still cracked. I found Jack Black balm from a TikTok video and it has been glorious. I keep reaching for it to reapply and I don't need it. It doesn't feel greasy on my lips but it is a bit sticky? Or waxy. Either way, I don't mind it at all, and it also smells pretty darn good." —Trisha
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in six flavors and also in packs of three).
11. Nivea Crème amps up the moisture on the driest parts of your face and body. It even works as a stellar makeup remover!
12. A bug bite suction tool removes the irritating venom, and helps reduce itchiness, pain, and swollenness on existing bites. Plus it works on other insect stings. Think about all the scratching you could've saved yourself!
Promising review: "We carry our Bug Bite Thing in the car, take on vacations, etc. Love it. We use for mosquito bites mostly...but I will tell you, my husband actually got stung by a wasp after we bought this and I cant tell you how excited I was! Not for this discomfort of course, but I could wait to see if the bug sucker would actually suck out the stinger...it did!!!!! So satisfying." —E. Horvath
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).
13. Sally Hansen 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 $6.79.
14. 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 $8.09.
15. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream soothes dry, cracked hands *while* making them look so much more presentable.
Promising review: "I have terrible-terrible eczema, on my hands and feet. Nothing has helped, only exasperated it. A family member mentioned this product and I gave it a shot. Let me tell you, it decreased the cuts in my hands considerably!!! It feels like I have new skin. Soft and undisturbed by inflammation. I am hyper sensitive, so if I can use this...I give it 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So soothing. My holy grail!!" —Ally
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
16. And O'Keeffe's foot cream is a new trick to treat your old dogs.
Promising review: "I have tried EVERYTHING, but because I am barefoot all the time, my heels crack (gross!!!!!!)... a lot. Sometimes they split open and it can be incredibly painful. After about three days of applying this cream at bedtime, the pain started to go away because the healing process was kicked into gear by my skin finally being soft enough to do its thing. It leaves a weird residue on your hands after application, (which could probably easily be washed off if I wasn't already cozied up in bed), but it made all the difference for my normally cracked and dry heels. I notice I get much better results when I use it daily, (so if you skip a few days, you'll notice it won't work as well). Consistency is key, but it really does work!" —Faith Mendelson
Get it from Amazon for $9.48.
17. 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+ (available in three colors).
18. Beauty for Real Lip Revival Exfoliating and Hydrating Lip Scrub is a cruelty-free sugar and wax scrub that'll do major work on your chapped, crackling lips.
The sugar exfoliates your lips, while the wax leaves your pout feeling soft and smooth, with a hint of sheen — it may even help you favorite lip color last longer!
Promising review: "I love this product! It's not too rough — it exfoliates well without irritating sensitive skin. It smells and tastes great and leaves your lips smooth. My only complaint is that it's SO wonderful, my mother decided to 'permanently borrow' my jar so I had to buy another one!"—Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in two scents).
19. Healing Solutions tea tree oil reduces rosacea, acne, and foot fungi to cover a ~plethora~ of skin woes.
Promising review: "This is a great product! I've been being using this the past two weeks to reduce acne and it really works! You can see the change from one day to another: It reduces the color and the bumpiness of your acne. At night I apply it directly to each one of the breakouts. It not only helps with the acne you have, but also helps preventing any more breakouts." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).
20. A Cocokind matcha-infused moisture stick glides on oh-so-smooth under your eyes and on your lips to help hydrate and reduce puffiness.

Get it from Amazon for $8.96.
21. Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel is, IMO, a multi-tasking miracle worker. This cooling gel soaks in immediately for moisturizing benefits on the reg, post-shave soothing or treating some gnarly sunburn (that in hindsight I should've gone to the dermatologist about).
Yes, those are my poor sunburned legs from a few summers ago when I really sold me soul to this amazing aloe vera gel because it soaks in so fast that I could layer on cooling layer after cooling layer. Check out my full Nature Republic aloe vera review to get all the deets on its benefits.
Get it from Amazon for $5.79.
22. A foot file quickly scrapes away those unsightly, crusty heels that applying foot cream just isn't helping. If you've gotta wear sandals to or go barefoot at the function, this'll make your old dogs look a lot better in a few mere minutes.
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 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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
23. A Vaseline balm stick works well all over BUT as one derm on IG points out, is great for slugging your cuticles.
Get it from Walmart for $6.87.
24. Vanicream's Gentle Cleanser is a super moisturizing formula that still removes all the stuff you need it to, like makeup, dirt, and oil. Oh, and it's made without added fragrances, preservatives, or harsh chemicals — which makes it even friendlier to anyone with eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and/or acne.
Promising review: "I swear, I have the most sensitive skin on the planet. I've had combination skin my whole life, am acne-prone due to my sensitivities, and easily dry out with most cleansers or when the weather is harsh. I also have dealt with bouts of perioral dermatitis. This is the ONLY cleanser that has worked for me to combat everything I have just mentioned. I literally washed my face with this one evening, and the NEXT DAY my skin had quieted down. So I kept at it, and now I have the clearest, smoothest, softest skin I have EVER had. I'm just amazed by this stuff and I hope it's never discontinued. I HIGHLY recommend it!" —KPMT
Get it from Amazon for $8.86 (also available in a travel size).
25. Teddie Organics' Rose Water Toner Spray addresses a range of skin irritations thanks to its anti-inflammatory formula that makes it great for using all over, even if you have sensitive skin.
It'll also restore your skin's pH balance and absorb excess oil.
Promising review: "I have been using this rose water for about three weeks now. I am in shock! The redness in my face is gone! I used to put on foundation almost every day because of my redness and acne scars. I now go out of the house with zero makeup on and feel confident in doing so. My face is super soft! My husband actually thought I was wearing makeup because my face was so clear. I'm so happy I took the leap and bought it!" —crystal
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).
26. Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner is a classic for good reason. It has rose petal water, witch hazel extract, and aloe vera to help regulate oil production, reduce redness, and tighten up your pores. So, really it's a heavy hitter to be under $10!
Promising review: "This stuff is freaking amazing!! I had a lot of redness and breakouts on my chin and a few on my forehead. It truly just cleared them all up. I don't have any breakouts as of now just my scars that I will be working on. I used this every night after cleansing my skin, use this then finish it off with the Mario Badescu Rose Facial Spray and it was perfection! I love this product!!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six scents).
27. Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment is a fragrance-free natural colloidal oatmeal bath soak individually packaged to make treating your dry, aggravated skin a little easier. It helps soothe skin suffering from poison ivy/oak/sumac, eczema, insect bites, rashes, sunburn, prickly heat, chicken pox, and hives. So really, probably just a good thing to have on hand for future use.
Promising review: "The colloidal oatmeal bath is amazing. It calms your skin and feels so soft and wonderful. I take mine and dissolve in a cup of warm water before putting it into the bath to avoid the clumping. As others have mentioned, if you pour it in the bath too quickly, it will clump (eventually dissolving). If your skin tends to develop hives or an itchy rash, this is exactly what you need. It's soothing and relieves the itching. The smell is pleasant (it really smells like oatmeal) and feels amazing on the skin. Highly recommend for soaking even if you just want a relaxing bath." —L. Macconnell
Get a box of eight from Amazon Fresh for $6.77.

Avarelle is a small business that aims to make the best skincare that's also honest and affordable. All their products are vegan and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I have very acne-prone skin that was under control until the pandemic. I'm a healthcare worker and masks are [affecting] my face. Painful pimples and cysts covered my jawline. I was desperate and read about these so thought I'd give them a try. I was shocked!! I'm writing this review after only one night of wear and these are a game changer! I saw gunk on a few, other brought the pimple up for easy extraction, and most of them completely flattened out. I ordered four more packs, I am that impressed." —Jamie
Get a 40-pack of the small patches from Amazon for $7.64.
29. PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash has 10% benzoyl peroxide, which is the highest level concentration you can get over the counter. It's also antimicrobial, which means that it fights bacteria that causes acne, thus helping with prevention. There's plenty of proof in the pudding with 40k+ 5-star reviews.
Promising review: "This stuff works like magic. I’m 33 and I’ve dealt with bad back acne since I was a teenager. After one week of using this, my back is night and day different. Just remember to not wash it off immediately. Let it sit on your skin for about two minutes for it to work. —Filburt_Turtle
Get it from Amazon for $9.28.
30. Elizavecca Witch Piggy Hell Pore Control Hyaluronic Acid Serum has a super fun name. But that's not all it has to offer. It leaves skin feeling soft while helping tighten enlarged pores and delivering some serious moisture. Psst, make a hyaluronic acid serum work even harder by applying to wet skin.
Promising review: "This serum is a staple in my skincare routine! I use this serum daily after cleansing since it's the only serum that doesn't irritate my dry, sensitive, rosacea-prone face. Like other Elizavecca products, the packaging is adorable and the product is affordable. There is no scent and a little bit goes a long way so I typically replace it only every few months." —Kara
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
31. Meebak Cica Sheet Masks gently soothe sensitive, irritated skin thanks to ingredients like green tea, cherry blossom, damask rose, and, obviously, cica. Go ahead and slime it up. (But in a good, effective way.)
The sheet masks are made of natural lyocell and cotton cupra, resulting in its silky soft feel.
Meebak is a Korean woman-owned small biz with products that center around the ingredient cica, also known as centella asiatica, or tiger grass, a herbal plant that has natural healing properties and has been used for thousands of years as an herbal remedy to calm and soothe skin.
Promising review: "Love this sheet mask! It's soaked with essence so it deeply hydrates but does not feel sticky or oily at all. My skin feels cool when I apply on my face. It has a sort of soothing effect. And what I love most is that I have sensitive skin but it didn't react at all and I didn't feel any irritation whatsoever!" —Jamie
Get a pack of five from Meebak for $9.97.
32. Handmade Heroes coconut lip scrub has jojoba and avocado oils to scrub but also treat your dry lips.
Promising review: "I have really full lips that have been really dry and peeling lately. Peeling to the point that I stopped wearing lipstick. Red lipstick is my favorite and smooth lips are a must to pull it off. I used this scrub one time with a lip exfoliating brush and it instantly removed the dry dead skin from my lips, leaving them smooth and kissable! It’s gritty enough to remove all the dead skin unlike other scrubs. You won’t be disappointed." —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three flavors).
33. The Inkey List Q10 Antioxidant Serum helps with dryness, loss of firmness and elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles. So if your hyaluronic serum is no longer cutting it for ya, this is at a worth-a-try price with a great formulation.
It contains Co-Q10 (protects from environmental stress, like pollution), Syn-Tacks (dual peptide for improving elasticity, firming), and Squalane (lightweight hydration).
Promising review: "I bought this about a month ago. Antioxidants are so underrated. This serum makes my skin absolutely glow. It spreads beautifully, and a pea size amount is enough for my whole face and neck. The texture is very silky. It soaks in very quickly and layers well with other serums and moisturizers. This is absolutely a staple in my routine now, and I won't be without it." —QueenSerenityRo
Get it from Sephora for $9.99 (cruelty-free, Clean at Sephora–certified).
34. Mario Badescu Facial Spray in a mini size you can freely spritz as you go when your skin feels like it could use some soothing cucumber and aloe — or you could just seriously use a cool down.
Promising review: "I have had such an issue for the past 15 years with my skin, finding the right moisturizer or way to wake up my skin after washing my face in the morning. THIS IS IT. This smells so good I wish I had it in a candle or some other air freshener it’s such a good clean smell. Feels weightless and refreshing going on. I absolutely love this spray!" —GraziMaMa
Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes).
35. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask makes for a fun skincare treatment you'll wanna send to the family group chat. Plus, it targets blackheads and pore-clogging dead skin.
Promising review: "The best $10 I've ever spent! It's so fun! I put the clay on my face and it bubbled within 30 seconds of putting it on. Once I got it all over I could hear and feel the bubbles, and watching it bubble up was cool. I couldn't stop laughing! You know it's time to wash it off when it stops bubbling, and taking it off was just as fun as putting it on. It has also left my face feeling soft, and you could see a difference in my face. My skin looked healthier, felt healthier. This stuff is legit!" —Hollie Lalene
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
36. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water gently cleanses and removes makeup — like, even layers of waterproof mascara — while hydrating your skin. Oh, and you don't have to rinse it off after.
Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about this product at first but I am so glad I decided to buy it. It really removes my makeup, even waterproof mascara with ease. It has no smell and doesn't leave my face oily. It reminds me of my Bioderma that I got in the UK. And for this price, amazing!" —Kat
