1. COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that’ll have you wondering if Gary the Snail has been the reason SpongeBob has been looking GOOOOOD for all of these years — it soothes damaged skin while also repairing dark spots and improving skin vitality.
Promising review: "Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized through out the day. Within two days I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" —Christina A.

2. Exfoliating skincare mitts designed to lift away dead skin (and remove a spray tan that's seen better days) — an excellent way for you to kickstart your spa-like experience at home.
Promising review: "If you're trying to find something for body exfoliation...this is it. Just this glove, water, and some time. I soaked in the bathtub for about 10 minutes, then got to exfoliating." —Kari Shawhan
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
3. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant which will help you say buh-bye to any unwanted bumpy skin — prepare for your body to feel as smooth as a baby's bottom. 😂
First Aid Beauty is a small business!
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it, and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." —Launa
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes and a pack of two).
4. Avarelle Pimple Patches that'll blend in with any skin tone and are gentle enough for any skin type, so you can go about your day without worrying that it looks like you're growing a second head on your face.
Avarelle's pimple patches are formulated with tea tree oil and calendula, which is said to heal and shrink zits overnight. A single pack comes with 40 patches in a variety of sizes to fit any pimple you've got. I personally reach for these ALL the time. I'm lucky enough to really only get one major pimple before getting my period. When that bad boy shows up I simply put one of these patches on overnight and am always amazed by how much it's shrunk down by the morning.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn

5. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream — designed to decrease puffiness and dark circles, so if you've been up far too late crying watching Steel Magnolias for the umpteenth time this cream will be there for you come morning.
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 $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
6. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré that'll double as a makeup primer and a moisturizing face cream, because who has time to apply two separate products these days?
Promising review: "I’m a makeup artist and have been looking for a great moisturizer and I must say this is a product I will forever keep in my kit. It’s not greasy or anything. I have a lot of clients who have asked me what was it because they really like the way it made their skin feel and even putting makeup on top, it all blends well. Try it!!!!" —Malieka Summerville
Get it from Amazon for $16.
7. A Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover you can break out to conquer the rough skin on your tootsies and heels when you simply don't have the time to head out for a legit pedicure.
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! 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. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
8. SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks that'll make you temporarily look like a zombie (though not QUITE as terrifying as the ones chasing down Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us). This entertaining mask will tighten your pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles while providing you with the opportunity to take some *very* silly selfies.
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 a box of eight masks from Amazon for $24.99.
9. Cocokind Mymatcha All-Over Moisture Stick you'll likely want to buy two of and stow away in both your bathroom and your handbag. It has nearly too many uses to count — it'll help hydrate dry lips and skin, reduce dark circles and puffiness, and smells as delicious as your favorite latte.
Check out a TikTok of the matcha stick in action. Cocokind is a San Francisco-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in botanical-forward skincare with an emphasis on both physical and mental health. I treated myself to this matcha stick and it's fantastic! I use it mostly under my eyes (I've been suffering from Bell's Palsy so my eye doesn't close all the way and I've been nervous to use serums/lotions) and long the sides of my nostrils which, oddly, get very dry. It smells fantastic and is super hydrating!
Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." —alizza d.
Get it from Cocokind for $9.
10. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask that starts to bubble once it's applied — get one for you and each of your roomies and prepare for a fun night of selfies (all the while banishing your blackheads).
Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —Phil Textor
Get it from Amazon for $9.151.
11. 16 Dermal Korea collagen sheet masks so you don't ever have to fret about whether you have a quality mask on hand after a particularly stressful day when you're looking to unwind.
Promising review: "These masks are amazing!!! Having 'ice pick' scars left over from acne, I was told that I'd have to pay for expensive laser therapy because the body can't produce enough collagen to heal deep scars. I've been using these masks for two months and I've seen SIGNIFICANT reduction in my scars. They are almost completely gone!" —Shaun

12. Tako Pore Blackhead Scrub Stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"
See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!
Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
13. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel you can count on to remove your makeup (and any other lingering grime) from your skin faster than you can say "ugh, I really should turn off the TV and shower."
I've added this cleanser into my shower routine and am a big fan! Sometimes my skin can be sensitive to certain cleansers, but this one has been great since the first time I tried it out. It's left my skin feeling fresh, grease-free, and easily takes off mascara (win!). The formula is free of oil, soaps, parabens, dyes, phthalates, and alcohol and is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. I also like that it's fragrance-free, since most of my body wash/soaps and shampoo/conditioners definitely have scents of their own.
Promising review: "I’m super picky about face wash. I’ve been using different ones for years, trying to find the perfect one. This is it..I finally found it. I have combination/dry skin, usually more on the dry side depending on the time of year. I’ve wanted a face wash that’s hydrating for my skin, gently cleanses away dirt and impurities, and didn’t irritate my skin. I also am not a fan of the thicker consistency face washes that are harder to wash away. I stumbled upon this wash and decided to give it a try for a number of reasons: 1) it’s hydrating. 2) it’s a gel…not too thick. 3) it has hyaluronic acid, which I’ve heard does wonders for skin health. This one definitely checked all the boxes for me. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I have been using it for two weeks and have already noticed a difference in my skin. Finally a good quality face wash that I like. This will be a regular product in my bathroom from now on. I’m so happy I found it." —Sammi
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
14. Provence Beauty Clearly Pink Clarifying Daily Cleanser featuring a refreshing scent filled with apple, watermelon, orange blossom, and willowbark that'll make washing your face feel like a fresh spring morning.
I've been using an array of Provence Beauty brands (like their Immortal Bloom cleanser and Deep Bleu Cloud night moisturizer) and have been very impressed! All of the products I've tried feel like a high-end item even though they have a cost effective price tag. My skin loves it just as much as my wallet!
Promising review: "I have been waiting for this to come to Ulta. I love this soap. The smell is subtle and not strong at all. It cleans my skin without over drying like other clarifying products that I have used in the past. I love the glass bottle because it feels more fancy. Really great." —Yvonne
Get it from Ulta for $7.99+ (available in two sizes).
15. Starface Outer Space Foaming Body Cleanser that is actually neon green in color and'll make every shower feel like you're living out your Nickelodeon dream of being slimed...except you're cleaning your skin!
How fun does this cleanser look??? It can be used daily and has been designed to clean and refresh acne-prone skin. It features an all-natural citrusy fragrance and is filled with moisturizing and exfoliating ingredients. It's vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, pthalate-free, and noncomedongenic.
Promising review: "Smells amazing, feels great, no reaction on sensitive skin. Highly Recommend 10/10!" —Canna
16. Nivea Classic Cream your grandparents have probably sworn by for years because it doesn't have a strongly perfumed scent and can be used on your face, hands, and body to keep your skin feeling moisturized and soft.
My grandma used to slather this all over her face and neck every night before bed. It was her biggest piece of advice to me and one that my sisters, and all of my cousins have taken to heart. She always had super soft skin and I'm sure her constant use of Nivea had something to do with it!
Promising review: "I love this because in my climate the air is very dry and humidity is very low. I first learned of this product when an exchange student from Denmark used it to replace moisture for his skin that suffered from lack of the humid and rejuvenating ocean environment. This is a luxury that becomes a necessity for aging skin subjected to highly dry, hot, and windy conditions." —Pamela
Get it from Amazon for $10.49.
17. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Pink Juice Oil-Free Moisturizer you can count on to smell fantastic and leave your face feeling refreshed after the first application.
I've been using this product for the last few years 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: "Let me start on the smell....AMAZING it’s like real watermelon! This moisturizer feels very gentle on the skin and refreshing (it won’t be a problem for sensitive skin). I have combination skin, it’s oily and dry in some places, and this has made my oily places not so oily and my dry places are hydrated and moisturized!" —Marcelis
Get it from Amazon for $21+ (available in two sizes).
18. BYO Blush Oil, which will make applying makeup easier than ever — it reacts with the pH of your skin to create the *perfect* blush shade and hydrate your cheeks at the same time.
Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients.
Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it A-OK for your skin to sleep with it on!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan, she said: "I tried this out myself and I have to say, it is WILD watching it adjust to your skin's pH in real time. It was a very bright pink at first but super easy to spread — a bit like Glossier's Cloud Paint, except personalized. It's very long lasting, too — I applied in the morning and could still see a rosy glow by the end of the day. "
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
19. Drunk Elephant Intensive Hydration Serum that'll have people saying "wow your skin looks amazing" and add a lil' pop of color to your counter. It has a pineapple scent that'll remind you of summertime all year.🍍
This product is formulated with pro-vitamin B5 and pineapple ceramide (FANCY!) and does not contain parabens, sulfates, or pthalates. The company is a supporter of the International Elephant Foundation. This is one of my most-used products — it's lightweight and doesn't leave my face feeling greasy at all. Need I say more?
Promising review: "I do not think there is a Drunk Elephant product I have not tried. However, I always come back to this serum. It is very lightweight and can be mixed with marula oil, etc. without feeling heavy or sticky. I use it every morning and a heavier cream at night. I highly recommend this product and this whole line." —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $39.98.
20. A tinted lip balm from Heartspring (yes, the one featured on Vanderpump Rules) you'll quickly add to your daily beauty routine — it's hydrating, lightly tinted, and will make you feel like you're one with the Scandoval drama (IYKYK).
Heartspring is a small business owned by Kristina Kelly (yes, you may have seen her on Vanderpump Rules) that sells lip balm, facial mist, and other skincare products. As a big fan of the show (duh) I ordered this tinted lip balm and I'm loving it. It's not sticky, leaves a lil' tint but not too much that it's weird for you to be sitting at home alone wearing it (my life haha). Will definitely order more!
Promising review: "My favorite thing about this tinted lip balm is that the tint is exactly right. It’s not so light that it’s like nothing’s there, yet not so dark you may as well be wearing lipstick. I just love it; it’s my weekend go-to for sure!" —Sara Hunter
21. Sun Bum Hypoallergenic, Paraben-free, Gluten-Free Sunscreen — available in an array of SPFs, so you'll rest easy knowing your skin is protected and hydrated at all times.
I'm very fair-skinned and typically burn with ease. I've tried many (many!) sunscreens and Sun Bum has become my go-to. It's affordable but truly works, keeps my skin protected, and smells INCREDIBLE. I also love their tinted face lotion and would 100% use it year-round.
Promising review: "Great sunscreen. The proof isn't so high that you won't get some sun and it's got good moisturizing lotion inside of it to keep skin hydrated. Also some of the better smelling sunscreen that I've used. The 3-oz. tube size is great for traveling with carry-on bags." —Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $10.92+ (available in two sizes and SPF 15–70).
22. OPI Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing Cuticle Oil made with grape seed, sesame, kukui, sunflower, and cupuaçu oils that'll soak into your skin and give it the refresh it deserves.
A fresh mani can change your entire mood if you ask me. However, long waits and high prices at a salon can often sour the experience. Enter the at-home manicure! Don't just slather on polish carelessly — set the scene with candles and calming music then get started by using this fancy (but inexpensive) cuticle oil.
Promising review: "I’ve been using this oil almost every night for several months now and it works great. My cuticles used to be so dry and cracked from constant hand-washing. (I’m an elementary school teacher, so I’m always scrubbing my hands!) But I’ve seen a huge improvement since I started using this oil." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.89.
23. Sonshine Bath Body Butter, which is specially handmade and jam-packed with natural ingredients like shea butter, almond oil, vitamin E oil, aloe vera gel, and your fragrance of choice. Your skin will be hydrated and glowing in no time.
Sonshine Bath is a Black woman-owned small business based in Georgia. This whipped body butter comes in delicious scents like coconut and mango milk, vanilla, lemongrass, lavender, tropical coconut, and oatmeal, and honey.
Promising review: "This product smells amazing and is incredibly moisturizing. I used this to help my skin heal after being confined to a walking boot for over a month. This product has helped my skin gain back the moisture it lost and I’m very grateful." —Mandie C.
Get it from Sonshine Bath for $20 (available in six scents or unscented and two sizes).
24. Belif True Cream Aqua Bomb, because with a name like that how could it *not* leave your skin feeling like you just stood out in the rain? It's a lightweight, gel-cream consistency you'll find yourself recommending to everyone you know.
Promising review: "I love this product. Everything I try to moisturize and minimize wrinkles gives me those little bumps under the skin (oil glands). I love that the Aqua Bomb is a gel. It absorbs quickly and my face feels smooth and silky. It works well with my primer and my foundation. And no more bumps!!" —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $38.

25. Beauty Strike Pineapple & Papaya Exfoliating Mask that'll feel like treating your skin to a tropical vacation — you both deserve it. Apply it and watch as it removes all the dead skin you've accumulated on your precious face over the colder months.
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.

Get it from Beauty Strike for $24.
26. A hydrating sweet candy-flavored Laneige lip mask to keep your lips nice 'n' soft instead of their typical status of dry and cracked (and encourage you not to pick at your pout when you're stressed).
I've been using the Laneige lip mask for the last few months or so and it's actually quite fabulous. I'm guilty of picking at my lips when they're dry, but I've been applying this before bed and in the morning my lips are seemingly renewed! It really is a magical product.
Promising review: "If you suffer from chapped lips, or wake up to super dry lips, I highly recommend this product. It's very soft, a little goes a long way and lasts throughout the entire night. My lips always feel so soft and smooth. Been using it for a year, will never go back!" —Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in three scents).
27. Or I Dew Care's overnight lip mask, because there's nothing worse than waking up with dried blood and a crack down the middle of your lip that seemingly appeared overnight. This mask will soothe your pout with a blend of cocoa butter, hibiscus flower extract, and vitamins C and E.
Promising review (it's long but good!): "So I have super dry lips. Years of anxiety, picking at them, dry weather making them crack, fragile skin... nothing ever works. Literally nothing. You name a product or trick and I've tried it. Scrubs, balms, masks, lotions, potions, oils, whatever. I've tried it. It never. ever. works. Most of the time my lips feel MORE dry, which is astounding. I feel like my skin figures out what I'm trying to do and rearranges its molecules to resist the treatment I'm trying. I gave up for a long time, but I'm tired of not having those super pretty Instagram-worthy soft-looking lips. My dry haggard witch lips were making me sad and angry that I can't find anything that works. On a whim, I was browsing a random BuzzFeed list about good skincare products — and this product popped up. I read a comment and someone with a situation similar to mine who sang the praises of this stuff. Deflated and sad about myself, I decided 'Why not throw another few bucks at the problem. Worst case it stays the exact same, best case it actually gets better.' Holy ———. It got better. SO much better. This is the first time I've been able to use a product regularly when I feel my lips drying out and it ACTUALLY hydrates them. I put it on before bed and wake up excited to smooch my partner over and over again telling them 'FEEL MY LIPS, FEEL THEM.' It isn't goopy or thick, it doesn't feel like smearing Vaseline on my face, it doesn't make me break out around my lips. It isn't heavy or grainy, it's super light and doesn't feel like it's seeping into my skin. It doesn't take a lot and I can FEEL it actually working to moisturize and not just seal moisture — which I am already lacking — in. It isn't a coating, it feels like it actually absorbs into my lips. I never leave reviews, ever. But I also never had a product like this that actually works like it says it does with more efficacy than I ever expected. If you're like me or I sound like you, trust me. Try this. Just give it a shot and you will NOT be disappointed." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $16.
28. Peach & Lily Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser, an oil cleanser that'll ensure you never find yourself with remnants of mascara flakes even after fully washing your face. You're welcome.
Peach & Lily is a Korean-owned and woman-owned small beauty brand inspired by K-Beauty.
All you'll have to do is apply this cleanser and splash some water on your face to remove all the gunk and grime from your day — no scrubbing needed! It's great for all skin types, is non-drying, and non-clogging. Additionally, it's filled with ginger (yay antioxidants!), pineapple, papaya, sunflower seed oil, and grapeseed oil. If you aren't convinced yet, it's worth noting it's vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I was lucky enough to try this product out and it was absolutely perfect. I wear tinted sunscreen and eyeliner. Removed that so easily and felt so good on my skin. After I washed everything off my skin felt fresh. I even checked with a makeup remover wipe to see if there was any leftover makeup on my skin and the wipe was completely clean. I also love that it doesn’t leave an oily feeling on my skin but at the same time doesn’t dry it out. And on top of all that it’s a clean formulation so I don’t have to worry about putting gunk on my skin. It’s the perfect cleanser and does everything it promises. A must have!" —Madeline
29. The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Night Mask featuring a magical blend of salicylic acid and tea tree oil that'll kick your pimples out of their designated home on your chin and banish excess sebum all while you're sleeping.
Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this product. I have awful acne that prescriptions and other acne products couldn’t even help.

Get it from Amazon for $22.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! It feels light, moisturizing, and there’s no scent to it. I’ve been using it for three days now but noticed huge differences after only a day of using it! My skin had never been this clear before and I’ve never found a product quite like this one." —Lily Maloy
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
31. Skinfood's Egg White Pore Mask designed by the skincare gods to remove blackheads from your nose — with each use your pores will shrink and your skin will get tighter than your favorite pair of leggings 😉.
Promising review: "Love this brand and I love this product! I purchased this with the matching foaming facial wash for my huge pores and when used together, I notice a HUGE difference in the size of my pores! This wash off mask isn't too drying either for my oily, acne prone skin, it's actually very gentle and while the face wash does contain salicylic acid in it, this wash off mask does NOT! I use it every other day for up to 20 minutes and it doesn't break my skin out or irritate it and make it worse! It does contain egg whites like the face wash but it doesn't smell or feel weird in any way! It works and I own a lot of their different products! I do recommend this for people with huge pores and who have oily and/or acne prone skin! With the facial wash it works wonders and you can see the difference in your pores!!!!" —mummahdarlingsreviews
Get it from Amazon for $11.45.
32. Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream filled with hyaluronic acid, licorice extract, and a vitamin complex to brighten and smooth skin — it's fabulous for *all* skin types. If you're new to the skincare game and aren't quite sure what type of skin you have, this product will be great to start with!
Promising review: "Very moisturizing and makes a huge difference for under-eye care especially before concealer or foundation. Definitely a winner!" —Teresa Lillian
Get it from Amazon for $15.47.
33. Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment — it'll plump, brighten, clarify, and exfoliate your skin starting from the moment you apply it in the morning (which is WAY more than I'm capable of at 7 a.m.).
Promising review: "This product is so amazing. I have been using it for a month now and I see such a HUGE difference in the fine lines around my eyes." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $43+ (available in two sizes)
34. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water will delight and amaze you the same way that magician you saw once did when they seemed to make their assistant truly disappear (how do they do it?!) — it removes makeup and dirt so easily using a delightful combination of rose water and glycerin.
This Micellar water is part of my daily skincare routine and has been for years now. The scent is subtle but refreshing (which I love) and it really does exactly as it says — it removes unseen dirt from my pores and takes makeup off in a swipe.
Promising review: "I’ve used many different face cleansers and makeup removers that always left my face even dryer. I’ve been using this for about a month now, and after the first time using it, I noticed a huge difference. My face wasn’t dry afterwards, and it didn’t leave my skin irritated at all (I have sensitive skin)." —Morgan Humphery
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two sizes)
35. SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E that'll leave your skin feeling softer than ever!
Promising review: "I took a chance and splurged a bit on this and I am HOOKED. LOVE it. It smells amazing, and a little goes a long way. I use it only on my neck, arms, and chest and have already noticed a difference in the elasticity of my skin. It also really gives my skin a nice glow when I am tan. Totally recommend it, and I will replenish when mine is gone. The jar is huge and will probably last several months. When you spend $10+ on body lotion per month, the $45 for this cream is well worth it." —Ellie6613
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes).
36. Supergoop SPF 40 sunscreen you'll adore for the way it protects your skin from the sun's harsh rays all year (duh) but also for how it glides on clear — no white residue to be found.
Promising review: "Makes a great 2-in-1 primer. I love how smooth it made my face for a great makeup application. I also love that it has sun protection and moisturizes without making my face greasy. Picture shows my face after 5 hours of wear without touch-up." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes).
37. Or Pacifica Glow Baby Super Lit SPF Lotion complete with SPF 30 and vitamin E, so even if you have major plans to read an entire book cover to cover at the beach your skin won't suffer. It also blends in so beautifully you'll forget you put any lotion on at all.
I've been trying to be better about putting on a daily SPF — my sister has been nagging me incessantly about it and I know she's right but it's so hard to forget these things when working from home! Anyways, I received a sample of this Pacifica Glow Baby Super Lit Lotion and was immediately impressed by the packaging (I'm a sucker for good packaging!). I've been using it for the last month or so since it came out and it really is great. It's so lightweight I don't even realize I put an SPF lotion on (yay!) and it isn't overly scented so it's not distracting if I use another scented product. I'm definitely a fan and will continue to use it now that warm weather and more sunlight is on its way.

38. And Aquaphor SPF lip balm because, surprise, *all* of your skin needs protection from the sun (lips included!). This one has an impressive SPF 30 included in it and will keep your pout hydrated at the same time. 👏
Promising review: "This is the best lip balm sunscreen I've used. It has a consistency that is similar to Vaseline which means I can wear a lipstick under it and it doesn’t have a taste. With a 30 SPF, this can be beat." —Erik & Diana Cross
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
39. Mario Badescu Facial Spray you'll wish you could actually bathe in once you see how refreshing it feels when spritzed on your face after a day spent in the hot sun — its made with cucumber and aloe to hydrate and cool you down in the most delightful way.
Promising review: "So I’m cheap okay? This spray is my holy grail. After I’ve put on all my moisturizer, I spray this over for extra hydration. Does the job for my oily/dry skin!! I’ve used this for as long as I can remember and my skin is always hydrated. I also love it for when I’m hot, I just spray all over and ahhhhh so refreshing :))" —Vanessa

40. E.l.f. Power Grip Primer that'll become one of your most reached for products in your makeup routine — it's packed with hyaluronic acid to keep your feeling moist all day and goes on clear, making it the perfect foundation to build your makeup on top of.
41. Eight Saints Cloud Whip Vitamin C Face Moisturizer, packed with organic ingredients to help reduce the appearance of sun spots and to ensure the only fine line in your life is the Harry Styles' album instead of ones on your face.
Eight Saints is a woman-owned small business that uses only eight plant-based ingredients in their skincare products.
Promising review: "This is definitely one of my favorite skincare products. As someone with sensitive skin, I always have to watch anything with strong scents or creams that are too heavy (as they give me breakouts). That's made it hard to find a good moisturizer that provides hydration while being light enough to avoid acne. This cream is the answer to that. I use it every night, and was initially skeptical that such a light cream wouldn't rub off, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind that oily feeling that some other creams do. It feels fresh and smells amazing — a citrusy smell that's noticeable, but not overwhelming. I have only been using it for a short time, but it's already started to ease the redness around my cheeks and nose. I'm not sure if that's due to how hydrating it is or if it also helps to even skin tone, but either way, my skin is thankful for it. Definitely recommend it, especially for those with sensitive skin." —Kristiana Beers

42. O'Keeffe's Working Hands for anyone who wants to cut right to the chase when it comes to their dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. This no nonsense tub will help soothe your skin and bring it back to a moisturized state.
Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hand Cream and within two-and-a-half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.
Get it from Amazon for $8.48+ (available in three sizes).

43. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. Added bonus? It's so freakin' cute!!! Who wouldn't want to improve their skin with the help of a lil' polar bear?
Promising reviews: "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

44. OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub made with sugar and coconut oil to help bring your skin and scalp back to life after a harsh winter — not to mention it smells absolutely incredible.
I'm a biggggg fan of the OUAI brand so it was no surprise to me when I fell in love with this scrub. A little goes a long way, which is fantastic because this comes with a decent amount of product. Mine has literally lasted me longer than a year at this point. Anyways, I've noticed such a difference in my skin after slathering this on in the shower. I use it to exfoliate my legs after shaving and without fail it leaves them feeling silkier and smoother than ever.
Promising review: "I was looking to replace my expensive scalp scrub with a comparable product at a better value and this solved the problem in terms of quality and value. Smells divine and leaves my hair soft and silky at the same time." —Mig7
Get it from Amazon for $40 (available in two scents)
45. Glossier Balm Dotcom that'll have you tossing all of your old dried-up (and likely expired) lip balms out — this beauty will nourish and care for your pout in a way those never could while *also* providing it with a lovely lil' tint!
Promising reviews: "I have eczema all over my mouth and chin area, so I am very, very picky about my lip products. Scented lip products are especially risky for me. However, I have tried Glossier's balms in rose, birthday cake, mint, mango, coconut, berry, and fig and have been generally quite happy. Personally, my favorites are the mint and mango. Both are so refreshing! The scents are not irritating whatsoever. I legit wear these every day." —hlebth
Get it from Glossier for $14 (available in nine tints/scents).
46. Lush Cup O'Coffee Face and Body Mask, because your tastebuds shouldn't be the only one to benefit from your favorite form of caffeine. This mask has been designed to invigorate, exfoliate, and brighten skin while also awakening your sense with the delicious scent of coffee.

Get it from Lush for $17+ (available in two sizes).
47. And Kylie Skin Lip Oil you'll easily find yourself obsessing over — it'll act as both a gloss and a moisture-sealing balm to leave your lips looking, well, as fabulous as a a Kardashian's/Jenner's.
