38 Beauty Products You’ll Become Loyal To In No Time Flat

Consider this your sign to put your judgments against Kylie Jenner aside and try her life-changing lip kit.

1. Soko Glam Soft Shield Pimple Patches to blend in with any skin tone and that are gentle enough for any skin type but suck the life out of your stubborn zits like a charged-up vacuum.

Soko Glam, Heather Braga/ BuzzFeed

These vegan and cruelty-free patches come in two different sizes, so you can count on them to cover an array of different types and sizes of pimples. It blends it *so* seamlessly — I know this because I tried it out myself! I have relatively sensitive skin and these didn't bother me at all. I was amazed by how much the little patch absorbed. I left it on over night and the next morning my pimple had very little redness and was much flatter than before using the patch.

Promising review: "I am really incredibly impressed with these. I have not had any problem with them sticking on overnight. They do a great job with the really deep acne that normally causes me problems for a week. Drained one in an hour! They are also very clear. Impressed! Especially for the price." —Michelle

Get a set of 42 patches from Soko Glam for $6.

2. Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Serum – it's made with actual honey and hyaluronic acid, which are great for all skin types. Your lovely face will be filled with the happy glow of someone who just returned from a week long vacation (or, you know, a honeymoon...ha ha...get it?).

Buzzfeed / Christine Forbes

Christine Forbes (our resident skincare queen) has tried this and said, "This serum has never burned or broke out my skin. It has a slight scent but nothing too overwhelming. It pairs nicely with the oil too!"

Promising review: Let me tell you I put this Farmacy Honeymoon Glow on and the next morning I noticed some improvement in skin texture. I have combination skin, oily T-zone, and dry cheeks. When I first put it on the first couple minutes it tingled, but I've done chemical peels before and it is no where as uncomfortable. I started out using it three times a week, but now use it every evening. I had dry, patchy cheeks, but with this product it's barely there and it's only been two weeks of using. My skin has a glow, looks smooth, and I apply less makeup. I feel more confident about my skin since using this product. I am excited to see what this will do in 30 days." —Butterfly

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).

3. Jelly Pop Water Gel Moisturizer that'll leave your skin feeling hydrated and smelling like the freshly cubed watermelon you only ever eat on a beach vacation.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

My fair skin is prone to getting sunburnt (yes, I use sunscreen daily) and dehydrated in the hot summer heat, so I'm always open to trying new things to keep it feeling healthy. I gave this Jelly Pop Water Gel Moisturizer a shot and BOY was I pleased! It smells like freshly cut watermelon, has a water-like consistency I've never experienced before, and doesn't leave my face feeling sticky or oily. It's simply fantastic. I know it's mainly for your face, but I also used it on my arms and chest after a beach day and felt so refreshed after. Love, love, love.

Get it from e.l.f Cosmetics for $8.

4. Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm, because you've likely been telling yourself you need to update your skincare routine for months now — let's do this.

Get it from Versed for $7.99+ (available in two sizes).

5. BareMinerals Loose Powder Foundation with SPF 15 built into it so you can ensure your skin is protected all year long.

dashingdiva_usa / Via instagram.com

This was one of the very first products I ever added into my daily makeup routine — I've been using it for over a decade and likely will forever. It's very lightweight, doesn't feel cake-y at all, and is always my finishing touch to any makeup looks I put together.

Promising review: "I've been using the original foundation for years and it has NEVER disappointed. As soon as I put it on my complexion is near perfect, but still looks so natural. I get compliments on my skin when I wear it, because it really doesn't look like average, caked makeup — it looks like your skin. It's worth every penny and lasts quite a while. Give it a try! :)" —Rebecca2020

Get it from bareMinerals for $32 (available in 30 shades).

6. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer you've likely been eyeing for months now and will be so excited to finally learn what the hype is about. Let me tell you — it'll live up to it.

Tarte

Promising review: "Best concealer of all time!! Just love the consistency. Can be worn without powder to give a more dewy look! Love the travel size. Medium to high coverage! Would definitely recommend!" —Mehwish K.

Get it from Tarte for $10 (available in 30 shades).

7. Yves Saint Laurent lipstick that'll look as fabulous on your bathroom counter as it will on your pout.

yslbeauty / Via instagram.com

Promising review: "My love affair for this lipstick started two years ago when I bought the wrong shade and it turned out to be a blessing. The texture is moisturizing but there’s a decent amount of staying power which I appreciate. I absolutely love the shade range so much I feel like you’ll be able to find a color you enjoy from the line. They also build very nicely. If you are looking for a high end lipstick that you won’t be disappointed in check these out!" —thebrittster

Get it from Sephora for $38 (available in 35 shades).

8. A science-themed eyeshadow palette called "Sodium Fine" (hehehe) you'll find yourself *experimenting* with so often you'll probably have to order another.

@makeupscientistcosmetics / Via instagram.com, @makeupscientistcosmetics / Via instagram.com

This playful, punny palette is cruelty-free and vegan! Added bonus? It's from a small Black-owned business based in North Carolina.

Promising review: "This palette is amazing!!!!! It’s so pigmented. The colors pop extremely well. I can’t wait to see what other palettes this brand has to come." —Jasmine

Get it from Makeup Scientist Cosmetics for $45.

9. Peach and Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum that'll bring new meaning to "beauty rest" once you add it to your skincare routine.

Ulta

I've been using this serum for a while now (in addition to the other products in the Glass Skin Discovery Kit). It's not super oily, feels really lightweight, and smells fantastic. It's infused with peach extract to help fill your skin with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to keep it looking fresher than ever.

Promising review: "I use the glass serum twice a day EVERY DAY. It brings a radiance and glow I've never found in other products; it hydrates well without becoming oily later in the day." –Nancy

Get it from Ulta for $39+ (available in two sizes).

10. Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Super Setter spray you can use to both secure your makeup *and* blur your pores for up to 16 hours.

Sephora

Promising review: "I have used multiple setting sprays in the past but this one is by far the best. The spray is not sticky and the mist is very fine and feels greats on my face. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a new setting spray and anyone who wants their makeup to last all day — even under a mask!" —KCris406

Get it from Sephora for $32.

11. Weleda Skin Food – it's filled vitamin E, sunflower seed oil, and calendula flowers that'll help rehydrate your skin and leave it looking healthier than ever. Use it on your arms, legs, face, feet, and hands — why not?!

instagram.com / Via @weleda_usa, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a MUST-have! A MUST! I am always looking for that rich moisturizer that leaves your face so hydrated that you look fresh and rejuvenated, that is this stuff!!!! This is the most luxurious cream that truly continues to work, I never break out or become too greasy, yet my skin looks HYDRATED and beautiful! I have tried many expensive products, this one tops them all! I won't go without this stuff!! I LOVE IT!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ or Subscribe & Save for $11.87+ (available in two sizes).

12. CeraVe moisturizing cream you've most likely seen parading around on TikTok. Its claim to fame is how it comes in a large, investment-worthy tub — which you'll be thrilled about after you see how nicely it heals your dry skin.

Marquaysa Battle / BuzzFeed

The moisturizer is fragrance- and oil-free. It's also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. BuzzFeed editor Marquaysa Battle is a big fan:

"Since the spring, I've been dealing with stress acne that I never had before in my life. I resorted to an acne cleanser and spot treatment but those products are typically drying (because they're literally meant to dry out the blemishes) SO this moisturizer has been super key for ensuring my skin doesn't dry out while I try to clear up the pimples. Aside from it living up to its 24-hour hydration promise (game-changer), it has also never broken out my sensitive skin and actually helps soothe the many skin irritations that I experience. In short, it's my holy grail and CeraVe better not ever stop making it. 😊"

Get it from Amazon for $16.08 or Subscribe & Save for $15.28.

13. BH Cosmetics zodiac-inspired palette with 25 fun colors to play with that'll help you create incredible looks, even when Mercury is in retrograde.

BH Cosmetics

Promising review: "The shine for the eyeshadow collection is amazing! The contrast of the colors goes on so smoothly and stays vibrant for the whole day! Highly recommend this product and I'm thinking about getting another for a friend." —Meaghan C.

Get it from BH Cosmetics for $6.75 (originally $27).

14. InstaNatural Exfoliating Glycolic Mask that'll leave your skin glowing and looking softer and smoother than ever without the use of harsh chemicals.

Promising review: "My mom and I tested this product out together, and I ended up giving it to her as a gift because she love it so much! She has very sensitive skin and it did not cause any irritation. The mask smelled good and helped our faces feel fresh, moisturized and healthy after using it. I would definitely recommend it!" —The Mielocks

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 or Subscribe & Save for $12.59.

15. Morphe's Fall into Fabulous Artistry Palette – it's a must-have for anyone who wishes it was always autumn and worshiiiiips a fall foliage color scheme.

morphebrushes / Via instagram.com

Get it from Ulta for $26.

16. Glossier Stretch Concealer to brighten up your under-eyes and your mood! It's ridiculously easy to apply and is extremely buildable so you can create as much coverage as you want with minimal effort.

Glossier

Promising review: "This concealer makes me look like I got eight hours of sleep when I'm working on four. Where all other concealers have caked in the fine lines now appearing under my eyes — thanks, thirties — this stuff just glides over them and conceals them too. Total magic." —herhere

Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in 12 shades).

17. Lovoir Flick Stick eyeliner stamp if you obsess over makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes).

18. Glossier Boy Brow, because who wouldn't want flawless eyebrows every day? It has a mascara-like applicator and creamy formula you can count on to lift and hold your your brow hairs in place.

Glossier

My coworker AnaMaria Glavan is passionate about this product. Here's what she had to say:

"Believe the hype: this magic bottle is proof that not all heroes wear capes. The creamy formula, which comes in blond, black, clear, and brown (which is what I used!), goes on smoothly and doesn’t require a lot of product to do the job. I used the wand to brush baby hairs in the beginning/middle of my brow upwards, and then brushed the longer, toddler-like hairs at the end of my eyebrows, sideways. And one coat was more than enough! Boy Brow does what exactly what the Glossier brand claims to do; it gives me a filled-in eyebrow that doesn’t look filled in. The finish looks natural, which is exactly what I wanted — my facial caterpillars have never looked better."

Get it from Glossier for $16 (available in five shades).

19. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

My fellow editor Emma Lord is a BIG fan of this mascara. She said:

"Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 35,000 positive reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."

Promising review: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

20. Nars Blush, which comes in *so* many different shades, you'll probably return for more once you see how nicely it adds some color to your cheeks.

narsissist / Via instagram.com

Promising review: "My favorite go-to blush! It has a shimmer to it that really makes your skin glow. It also has a natural look to it too and I really like that. If you don’t have this, you should!" —KBMcMahon

Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in 20 shades).

21. e.l.f Cosmetics Powder Blush Palette you can use to create beautiful natural looks that'll transition nicely from day to night.

Marquaysa Battle / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed writer Marquaysa Battle has this palette and is a big fan! Here's what she had to say:

"So I'm all into makeup that helps me whip up a quick face without trying too hard. This blush palette helps me add a lil' flush to my face in just a couple of dabs. It's super buildable so you can go subtle the way I like to or get super glam with a deeper blush look. I also use this palette on my eyes and lips too. It's easy to use, the four colors can be layered to create a custom shade, and it lasts a LONG time. This will literally be the only blush you ever need. It's definitely one of my smartest cheap makeup grabs."

Get it from e.l.f. Cosmetics for $8.

22. Glossier Ultralip will add shine and color to help you create the perfect pout every time. It comes in an array of shades, so good luck trying to decide which to try out first.

Ali Faccenda / BuzzFeed

It's super buildable and is vegan and cruelty-free. BuzzFeed writer Ali Faccenda (shown above) tested this lippie and enjoyed it! She said:

"This is an amazing lip product for summer. It's hydrating and not sticky (which is, in my opinion, the worst thing about glosses). I love applying a light coat and then blending it in with my finger so it isn't too shiny but it looks great without blending too. I find that in the summertime, regular lipsticks and liquid lippies can be way too drying so this balm is the perfect hybrid between lipstick and gloss. It has a gorgeous sheen that looks natural and healthy. You can even apply it on the high points of your cheeks for some glow and a pop of color (no need for blush!)."

Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in nine shades).

23. Kylie Cosmetics Princess Please Kylighter – it'll create the luminous glow you've always dreamt of for your cheekbones — it's super easy to use and won't budge once you apply it.

kyliecosmetics / Via instagram.com

I'm a diehard Kylie Cosmetics fan and their recent updates to all of their products to make sure they're cruelty-free and vegan has been a game changer. I could go on and on about how much I love pretty much every product Kylie and her team has put out, but my most recent obsession is this highlighter. I have a very pale complexion and never want to look like I've overdone it with my highlighter — that wasn't an issue at all with the Princess Kylighter. It's a nice, subtle pink but can definitely be layered for more opacity. I put it on as a finished touch to my usual makeup and loved how it added just *a bit* more glam to my look.

Get it from Kylie Cosmetics for $24 (and check out all of the other shades here).

24. Watermelon Pink Juice Oil-Free moisturizer you can count on to smell fantastic and leave your face feeling refreshed after the first application.

Sephora

I've been using this product for the last year and it has become one of my favorites. It's a brightening and lightweight moisturizer that really works! I like to use it in the morning for a fresh start to my day. The pretty pink hue and glass bottle also just looks gorgeous on my counter — no complaints!

Promising review: "Amazing! I haven’t been able to use a moisturizer for a couple of years without a breakout until I tried this. I had very dry, sensitive skin a few years ago, and then all of a sudden I had oily, acne-prone skin. I started using this because my skin was suffering without moisturizer and I was hopeful. It has not caused one breakout! It has helped heal the breakouts I had when I started using the product. This sits well under makeup, and causes no excess oil throughout the day." —Sephora Customer

Get it from Sephora for $39.

25. Pineapple & Papaya Exfoliating Mask that'll feel like treating your skin to a tropical vacation — you both deserve it.

Beauty Strike

The mask is meant to work for all skin types and is vegan. In addition to making skincare products, Beauty Strike is a Black- and woman-owned business run by third-generation beauty enthusiast and esthetician, Emani Mone Jeter. Her studio offers monthly yoga and wellness classes, occasional book clubs, and skincare classes. The brand also has a recycling program that'll give you a 15% discount off your next order if you return one qualifying empty container and 25% off for two or more.

Get it from Beauty Strike for $24.

26. Ciaté London Lip Shadow starring the iconic Edna Mode you'll be able to build up into the pigment you prefer most while appreciating its lighter-than-air formula.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Ciaté London

I'm a diehard Disney fan (a Disney adult, if you will) and was so excited when Ciaté London announced they'd be releasing a collection all about Edna Mode. I was gifted the entire set (squeeeeeeealing still!) but was the most impressed with this lip shadow. I had never tried a product like this (Ciaté London has an array of colors that aren't Disney-inspired) and right off the bat am extremely impressed. It's really easy to layer on the color and build it up so it's more pigmented, but I love that you can also go lighter with it and make it look like a subtle lip tint. It feels like air on my lips — like I don't have product on at all! This will 100% be my go-to travel lip product. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the brilliant Edna Mode didn't actually develop this herself.

Get it from Ciaté London for $20.

27. Milk Makeup Kush Lip Balm to become THE product you can't leave your home without — it'll calm and hydrate your lips thanks to its cannabis seed oil, shea butter, and moringa butter.

Kayla Boyd/BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd is a big fan of this lip balm:

"I love this lip balm because it's ~super~ moisturizing. The 'Green Dragon' shade goes on completely clear so it also makes a great base to wear under lipstick. It's ultra comfy to wear, nonsticky, and doesn't flake. Plus, the lid is magnetic and the overall packaging is really nice quality."

Get it from Sephora for $16 (available in five shades).

28. Ilia Beauty Multi-Stick you can keep in your handbag and use for a quick touch up to your lips and cheeks — who doesn't love a product that can *truly* do it all?

Ilia

Promising review: "Obsessed with this multi-stick. It is light, dewy, and buildable. This stick ranks as one of the best cosmetic products I've ever purchased. My experience with this type of product is they usually go on way too strongly, and appear harshly, which is NOT the case here. For the cheeks, it is so incredibly natural looking and you have control over how pigmented you want it to look. The sheer and fresh finish is amazing. It also works great as a lip booster. It adds a subtle pop of lip color, and feels great too." —Helena M.

Get it from Ilia for $34 (available in eight shades).

29. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, featuring playful packaging and a super soft application brush that'll make incorporating it into your makeup routine a treat.

benefitcosmetics / Via instagram.com

I have this and am a big fan! It's very lightweight and is a pleasure to apply thanks to the fluffy brush!

Promising review: "I will never use a different bronzer than the Hoola bronzer. I have tried just about every brand but no one makes bronzer like Benefit! I buy the original color and I find it perfect for my light skin tone. It is not orange or patchy. Hoola bronzer will forever be my favorite." —Kate

Get it from Ulta for $30 (available in four shades).

30. NYX matte finish setting spray that'll make sure the hour you spent perfectly applying primer, concealer, and highlighter doesn't go to waste.

amazon.com

This spray has a matte formula, meaning it won't turn your makeup into a greasy or oily mess.

Promising review: "This spray is everything! Like, oh my gosh. I notice the difference if I forget to spray this on. I've walked through the humid city of New Orleans in the middle of July and my makeup stayed on from the time I got to work and was mostly still there by the time I got home, which was nine hours later. I can't rave enough about this, and I'm very picky when it comes to makeup." —missyj95

Get it from Amazon for $6.69 (originally $8.50).

31. Ilia Beauty Liquid Powder Chromatic Eye Tint you'll surely be amazed by as it goes on as a liquid but dries as a powder, leaving you with flawless eye makeup.

Ilia Beauty

Promising review: "I love the subtleness of the color and how it stays put. Feels gentle on the skin." —Alba R.

Get it from Ilia Beauty for $28 (available in eight shades).

32. Kylie Cosmetics "Mary Jo" Matte Lip Kit because, IMO, no red lip will stay on longer and stronger than one of these bad boys.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Kylie Cosmetics

I personally have Mary Jo and can attest to the fact it's a PERFECT red lip with an everlasting formula you won't need to reapply all day. The newest iteration is vegan and cruelty-free 🥰. Honestly, I have an embarrassing number of Kylie Lip Kits — convincing everyone they need to try it *at least once* is the hill I will forever die on. I've just been so impressed with the product since day one! I wore a Kylie Lip Kit on my wedding day and it did not budge. Heck, I've worn one to every wedding or major event I've ever attended! It is THE most reliable lip product I (and you) will ever own.

Promising review: "I love, love, love the lip kit, my absolute favorite! Stays on all day, doesn't dry out your lips, it does the opposite, makes your lips look smooth and hydrated! Also makes your lips look full as if you had fillers!" —Jaxs

Get it from Kylie Cosmetics for $29 (and check out all of the other shades here).

33. Everyday Humans Wonder Salve that'll hydrate your pout, leave your lips looking more kissable than ever, and come jam-packed with carefully sourced ingredients.

everydayhumans / Via instagram.com

As explained on their website, all of Everyday Humans' products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, pthalates, mineral oils, artificial colors, and synthetic fragrances. I've tried this product as well and really liked how soothing it felt on my lips — not sticky at all.

Get it from Ulta for $9 (available in two flavors).

34. lIlia Beauty Liquid Light Serum highlighter to make it seem like you've spent the *perfect* amount of time baking in the golden sun (except we both know you haven't seen daylight in a week).

Ilia Beauty

Promising review: "I'm not much of a makeup person, but saw this on Instagram and really wanted to try it. I've been mixing this every day with a very light tinted foundation and my skin now has the PRETTIEST glow. I actually get compliments when I go out which is nice. My cousin and two aunts bought a bottle after seeing my illuminated complexion. I use the color nova, it has just a tiny touch of bronze which allows me to use it all over my face with out looking like I'm wearing makeup. Good stuff! I'm absolutely loving my glow!" —Stephanie P.

Get it from Ilia Beauty for $42 (available in three shades).

35. Winky Lux Flower Balm you'll find simply magical when it goes on clear, then blossoms into the perfect shade of pink as it combines with your natural pH level.

Winky Lux

My sister and I have this fun lil' lip balm, and we love it! The flower inside is as pretty as the shade of pink it creates. I like minimal makeup, so this product has been a slam dunk for me.

Promising review: "The flower balm is my absolute favorite product from Winky Lux! It creates the perfect tinted lip and keeps them moisturized!" —Katie B.

Get it from Winky Lux for $16 (available in three flower colors).

36. Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint that'll be easier than ever for you to integrate into your day-to-day makeup routine — it creates a long-lasting, weightless, buildable lip color you won't ever tire of.

Amazon

BuzzFeed writer Nusrat Sultana is a big fan! She said:

"I have this in several colors and always love how it colors my lips and lasts all day without me having to reapply because of the stain effect. You don't need to worry if the color is there. If your lips feel dry, just rub some lip balm over them — the color stays! You can also build up the color for intensity or swipe it once and blot for a natural-looking gradient stain."

Promising review: "I've been looking for a good, long-lasting tint for a while now and have been disappointed nearly every single time. Most of the products would fade or go on really unevenly, causing me to have to reapply multiple times. Not these! These stay on through both food and drink (I've tested them with sandwiches, soup, soft drinks, water bottles, etc.) AND smooth over any dry areas on your lips to make them look really soft and not chapped at all. The applicator also makes it really easy to get the product exactly where you want it. I have long days from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and I usually only reapply once or twice — and even then, it's only necessary when I've been doing some hardcore stress eating. I've finally found my holy grail lip tint!" —Wendy K.

Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (originally $12; available in 12 shades. Find more shades here).

37. Glossier's Cloud Paint, which will add a touch of color to your cheeks with a quick swipe of lotionlike formula. Powdered blush? IDK her.

Jessica Seib / BuzzFeed, Glossier

My colleague Jessica Seib loves Cloud Paint (as does many other Buzzfeed employees, myself included). She said:

"I'll be the first to admit that Cloud Paint in 'Beam' is a heavenly STAPLE. If you can't tell from the photos, it's both lightweight and moisturizing. The shade is super subtle, but equally as flattering on both a bare and full face of makeup. My daily *lewk* is forever changed — you won't regret buying!"

Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in eight shades).

38. And La Roche-Posay Gel Cleanser to assist in conquering your acne and healing your cracked skin. See ya pesky pimples! Farewell dry patches!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I was lucky enough to have clear skin in high school so I never understood how awful acne really is. When I was about 21–22 years old, I switched to a birth control implant, and that thing wreaked havoc on my entire life. I suddenly had horrible cystic acne. Not only did it make me self conscious and uncomfortable, but it was actually so painful — lying on my pillow hurt my face! To top it all off, my skin was also dry, and irritated. I tried every skincare line on the market for about two to three years, with no, or very little, results. Finally, I found La Roche-Posay's skincare products. Within four days, the inflammation decreased, the redness was fading, and my skin felt less dry. By two weeks, my skin was practically clear! I have been using this product for about four to five years now, and I haven't had a single outbreak, EXCEPT for the time I wanted to try a different product to save money. Huge mistake, one I will not make again." —LadyHawke

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (originally $14.99).
