1. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches cover blemishes, so you can stop picking and touching pimples on your face. Place one of these babies on a zit overnight and let it lift all the gunk out. No more popping or squeezing breakouts whenever your skin is inflamed or using a ton of products to get rid of 'em.
Promising review: "Pretty much the greatest enemy your pimples will ever have. These patches are fantastic and I wish I'd discovered them sooner. They suck the gross life juice out of pimples and help them heal more quickly and cleanly; they've probably cut the life of most of my pimples in half at least. They are also a great way to keep myself from picking, a bad habit which only makes pimples worse. They are very easy to use and, in my opinion, a great low-cost option. The one thing I will say: I have found they only work successfully on pimples with heads. Any big nodules that don't have a discernible head aren't likely to be affected by these. Still, I recommend these to everyone who ever complains about an annoying pimple!" —Jen Kenworthy

2. Or these larger Mighty Patches diminish multiple zits on your jawline, back, and neck. These hydrocolloid strips absorb pus and can minimize the appearance of breakouts within SIX HOURS. They'll also stay on your skin and won't come off until you're ready for them to, thanks to durable tapered edges.
Each strip is 2 inches long, so they can cover and draw pus from multiple zits at a time!
Promising review: "Amazing. Started to break out badly/painfully on my shoulders. Deep zits that covered a lot of surface. Used these overnight to calm my skin down and was floored at how much they pulled out. The large one didn’t even seem that big from the surface. Patches provided so much relief." —CW

3. Supergoop's SPF 40 Unseen Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun and acts like a primer for your pre-makeup face. It's oil-free, goes on clear (no streaky, white residue!), and provides a lightweight base layer for blush, concealer, and foundation.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by this sunscreen and said: "I've been using this sunscreen at least once daily since my mom gifted it to me Christmas 2020, and have every intention to keep using it for years. A dime-size amount covers my entire face, because it's translucent it leaves absolutely no white cast, and 10 minutes after putting it on, my face just feels like I applied a little bit of a nice moisturizer or makeup primer, not anything that's grease-central, like sunscreen usually is." Read more deets in her full Supergoop SPF 40 Unseen Sunscreen review (it's #13).
4. TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum targets multiple skincare concerns at the same time and is like a facial in a bottle. It'll help minimize hyperpigmentation, brighten dull areas, and soften skin. More than 60,000+ people on Amazon gave it a 5-star rating for its jaw-dropping results.
Promising review: "I had read so many reviews about this serum and I was skeptical to buy and I am so happy that I did! This serum works wonders on my skin. I had slight hyperpigmentation on my face and I do have acne scars, my skin looked dull and lacked moisture, after I applied this serum everyday in the morning my skin looks so better than before. My pigmentation is reduced, my skin looks fresh and moisturized. My acne scars are the same, but I think that I will use it for more months to see the difference. Overall the serum is not oily and it quickly absorbs my skin." —Kavita

This formula is cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and vegan! You can shop more skincare products from this woman-owned business here.
I have this moisturizer and let me tell you, it's probably one of the best moisturizers I've added to my skincare routine. Previously, I've tried a bunch of moisturizers that were either too creamy, greasy, or heavy on my skin. However, this one absorbs well *and* gently takes care of dry spots on my face. I use a cleanser first, apply a serum, and then layer this soothing formula on top. My skin feels smoother, doesn't flake as much, and looks brighter!
Get it from INNBeauty Project for $34.
6. Almay Clear Complexion Acne Foundation takes care of coverage and treating annoying breakouts. It's noncomedogenic, conceals blemishes, and contains 1% salicylic acid that acts as a shield against future acne. If you're all about a low-maintenance makeup and skincare routine, def give this formula a try.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! It's one of the only foundations that my dermatologist lets me use that actually covers anything. The other noncomedogenic foundations I have tried hardly cover anything. You can use a little for light coverage or use a lot for full coverage. I've applied it with a sponge, brush, and silicone sponge and it worked great with all. It even works fine if you just apply it with your fingers. I have extremely acne-prone skin and it does not make me break out. It also has salicylic acid in it which helps with breakouts." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.93+ (available in two styles and 19 shades).

Promising review: "My forearms have always been rough and red. I used this for the first time tonight, just my hand rubbing it over my arms in the shower. I asked my teenage daughter to touch my arms and she asked me if I shaved them. That's how smooth they are. I highly recommend for the fact that it made my arms smooth for the first time in like 30 years." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $30.

Promising review: "I LOVE these oil-absorbing sheets! I have SUPER-oily skin (and cystic acne which I have the scars to show for) and this makes me feel so fresh and even calms down active pimples/acne. I went to the harshest lighting to REALLY show all the oil LOL don't judge me! (but if you're here you probably struggle with the same thing. Oil slicks unite!) But as you can see it truly removes all of the oil, and keeps it that way for several hours. Very cute design too and really easy to use and keep anywhere with you. Amazing price for what it does. If you're hesitating to buy it, just go for it!" —Noopur D.

10. This set of gold under-eye masks minimizes puffiness and dark circles. You may have stayed up late watching your fave TV show, but these soothing pads will help you look a little less tired the next day and spare you from using a bunch of concealer.
BuzzFeed writer Jasmin Sandal loves these little masks and said: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purpley, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under-eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day."
Promising review: "As someone whom has tried too many under-eye products, these little patches definitely do what you want them to do: depuff, minimize the dark circles, and moisturize incredibly well. I pop mine in the fridge so they are nice and cool when I need them. While a bit too expensive for an everyday part of your routine, they are great for when you want to look your best or when you’ve had a late night or lack of sleep. They are easy to use, smell great, and they stay on your face so you can multitask while wearing them." —Sean Bell

Here's how to use it: Cleanse your face, pat it dry, and rub a tiny bit onto your face with a circular motion. Then, rinse it off with water and layer on a moisturizer. You can also use it on a daily basis if needed!
Promising review: "A friend recommended this to me as an alternative to getting a facial peel. I tried it on my 42-year-old skin and when you scrub it into your face it removes dirt, cleans pores and it's amazing. I was most amazed using it on my teenage daughters as it pulled all the dirt out of their pores and you could see it! So now we all do it once a week or every other week. Obsessed!" —Amarie L.
Get it from Amazon for $34.

Former BuzzFeeder AnaMaria Glavan swears by this skincare product and said: "After two weeks of regularly using this toner in my evening routine, I barely need concealer to cover the Crayola redness under my nostrils. This stuff attacks your pimples with the same vendetta that Buffy used to destroy vampires: It works that well." Read more deets in her full Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner review.
Promising review: "Love this toner. I have combination skin that gets super dry in the winter, but most 'moisturizing' toners make my skin feel oily and causes breakouts. I was hesitant to get a big bottle of something without trying it out first, but this ended up being a win. I use it in the morning after a quick wash. I typically use a chemical exfoliator the night before and this helps gently remove the extra crud without irritating my skin. My skin feels soft and smooth, not dry, not oily, just clean. Of course follow up with an SPF moisturizer." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five scents).

Promising review: "This sunscreen spray is just what I needed for my daily routine. It's very lightweight and comfortable on the skin without feeling too greasy. It absorbs well too. It does well over makeup. Smells really good! I like that it doesn't have a sunscreen chemical smell. On top of everything it makes my skin look so dewy and healthy and makes it feel soft and supple. This product exceeded my expectations! Will definitely be buying again. 5 stars!" —Diana A.

Promising review: "I feel like any other moisturizer I’ve tried dried my face out. Once I found Hydra Vizor the game changed for me!! It gives me the moisture I need (especially in winter weather) and it gives me a natural glow to my face! Fragrance is noticeable but very light. My complexion has changed for the better too. I don’t wear it to bed due to SPF being in it, but it’s part of my a.m. routine after I use the Fenty Cleanser! Never stop making this stuff." —Fenty Skin Customer

Promising review: "I had a terrible allergic reaction to tea tree oil about two weeks ago. Tiny bumps all over my face along with bunches of breakouts and my normally oily skin was so dry the strongest moisturizers I had wouldn’t keep it moisturized for long. I tried this stuff and OVERNIGHT basically all the bumps and my breakouts are gone. I have incredibly sensitive skin (clearly) and this stuff feels so soothing on my face and leaves it looking bright. HIGHLY recommend to anyone with sensitive, combination skin. And I’m acne-prone and this stuff doesn’t break me out. Holy grail, people!" —SH

See more of her FOREO Luna Mini 2 review here.
Promising review: "I had a Clarisonic and never used it. It was cumbersome, too large to travel with, and I kept having to replace the brushes. I also felt that it was a little too harsh on my skin and I could only use it every other day. The Luna I am really loving. It's tiny, simple to use, clean and pack, and I've noticed a difference in the few weeks that I've been using it — my pores look smaller, my skin is clearer, and the tone on my skin is also improved. I would highly recommend." —NataliaF

Promising review: "I have a super minimalist beauty routine and rarely invest in products—but let me tell you: this is the real deal. I recently set out to find a unicorn all-in-one product that would moisturize, reduce redness, didn’t feel like makeup, and would have the SPF my fair skin needs. A friend recommended this and...wow. I can’t believe the instant effect on my skin! It’s light as air, has a beautiful finish, color-corrected my redness, and moisturizes to boot. I. Am. In. Love." —Sephora Customer

Promising review: "I’ve struggled with hyperpigmentation, acne scars that stay for years, and worst of all were the blackheads and large pores. I thought scrubbing with exfoliants was the key, but it actually made things worse and caused micro tears on my face. I have only been using this product two weeks and the changes I’ve seen in my skin have been amazing. I would recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with scarring, blackheads, and large pores. This does the trick!" —ACooper2

Daniel Boan, a writer here at BuzzFeed, swears by this lip scrub and said: "I love the idea of lip scrubs, but they're usually so messy I never find myself actually reaching for them. Leave it to Rihanna to solve all my problems — this scrub stick is perfect. It's scrubby enough to lift away any dead skin, but moisturizing enough to soften and smooth. Other scrub sticks I've tried have been either way too rough to the point of being uncomfortable, or so soft that they snap in half, but this one stays intact and is so simple to use that I actually reach for it regularly."

Promising review: "This is the first moisturizer I have ever used. I have oily skin so I never thought I needed to use a moisturizer. I didn't want to put something on my face that would add more moisture and potentially make it more greasy or worse, cause me to breakout. After reading and listening to several high reviews, I decided to give it chance. My skin can be a little dry in the winter, so it couldn't hurt. After one use, my face was moisturized but not overly moisturized and it felt softer and smoother. I like that this is a water-based gel moisturizer and the fact it contains hyaluronic acid. I highly recommend this!" —Kayla Williams

It makes my face feel soft and doesn't dry it out when I follow up with my serum or rosewater, and my moisturizer. My face feels refreshed and clean." —Micah

Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving and that has led to deep calluses on the heels of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later I'm touching baby-smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin.

I am experiencing dryness more than usual, but adding in a daily moisturizer with SPF has helped. I highly recommend given the cost and how well it has worked on my skin!" —Danielle Brindisi

This serum comes with a liquid serum base and a bottle of l-ascorbic acid powder that you need to mix together before application (more on that in my review below), and easy instructions on how to do so. It's recommended that you use this in the a.m..: apply a tiny pump to your dry face and neck after cleansing your skin. It's also important to layer sunscreen on top after application!
During the winter, my skin is more red, dry, and dull. Typically I don't do much for my daytime skin routine except cleanse and put on sunscreen, because my skin is on the more sensitive side. I decided to try this serum and I'm so glad I did! After a few days of using it, I noticed my forehead and cheeks looked a little brighter and my skin texture wasn't as rough. Plus, it was gentle enough to add to my routine without causing irritation or redness. (Note: You *do* need to mix this formula before using it; I found the instructions included in the package very easy to follow and I didn't have any issues mixing the liquid serum base and the 15% l-ascorbic acid powder together before applying it to my skin.)

I applied in the afternoon and didn’t notice any change in color. I was becoming a bit skeptical as it says within hours. The next morning however I woke up to a perfect tan glow. Not too dark not orange just right for a fair skinned person looking to have a little bit of color without having to spend hours in the sun.
