1. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water preserves the skin's natural moisture barrier while being tough on makeup, dirt, and impurities. This one works on all skin types and even takes off waterproof makeup.
Promising review: "I've tried a lot of micellar waters before but this is by far the best one I've used. It's effective enough where I don't damage the skin around my eyes continuously rubbing, a massive plus because I only use waterproof mascara. A very quick and easy makeup remover and it's made my nighttime routine a lot faster and helped my skin by being so good at removing my makeup, that I've found myself having significantly less breakouts." —sophiek516

After using this product I could see the difference in my skin and how my pores felt cleaner. I always trust this brand and how its products never disappoint in helping the customer achieve healthy skin. I use this every morning and night after washing my face." —Crystal

I'll use it after on my skin after being out in the sun too and it keeps my skin from drying out, peeling or blistering. It's hard to find pure aloe without all the unnecessary/harmful chemicals in it, so I was really excited to find this product that is 100% pure aloe vera gel." —RCSH

12. Nivea Soft Moisturizing Crème heals dry skin anywhere on your body: it works on your face, your body, and your hands.
Promising review: "This is the first time that I have tried the Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme. I have a thyroid disorder and that causes me to have dry, brittle hair and extremely dry skin. I used this on my face and arms and hands and I could immediately tell a difference. My skin was no longer dry feeling but felt soft and smooth. This product is not the greatest smelling as it does not have fragrance added, but that is okay with me. It did not feel oily, just silky feeling. I liked this moisturizer. And it made my skin look a little younger too and that made me feel better about myself. I will be buying this again." —afamilyof3

My very oily skin is somewhat under control and even somewhat dry on my cheeks now. I have not had any new breakouts, either. For the rapid results, I would have to give this 2 thumbs up.

Promising review: "I have used this twice and it leaves your skin absolutely glowing! I wear makeup every single day but the last time I used this, I put it on in the morning and my face looked so nice afterwards, it felt like a shame to cover up - so I went out without makeup feeling completely confident! I have really sensitive skin and this is only very slightly tingly (like it's supposed to be), not irritating at all. I've been plagued with hormonal acne for the last few months and the 2 times I've used this mask, it has been blasted away almost immediately with only 2 or 3 spots left over when it's done. I feel like if I used this 2 or 3 times per week, I could definitely keep my acne in check. Only problem is paying (that much) for each mask individually. I'm going to try their mask that comes in a tube. Anyway though! Great to use the night before a special day when you want to make sure your skin is looking nice." —Susy
Price: $2.50

But this stick got rid of my pimples in days. It is in a very convenient roller ball tube which can easily be added to your purse and it lasts. I will continue to buy this product until it doesn't exist." —Sumbody11

Works nicely under make up too. No strong perfume scents, which is nice. Does have some smell but not overpowering. I am happy with my purchase!" —RL0821

24. Cleen Beauty Vitamin C Papaya Glow Serum gently exfoliates the skin with papaya enzymes and brightens with Vitamin C. These two work in tandem on dull, tired-looking skin.
Promising review: "Wow! This serum is awesome! The ingredients are amazing; all the active ingredients are at the top of the list, meaning the formula has a large percentage of those ingredients! But that's not all. The serum feels so nice to apply and absorbs so quickly. My skin looks so fresh and radiant after using as well! The price point tops it off, as it's under $10! And you only need a few drops each use, so this 1oz. serum lasts a good while. I plan to keep purchasing and am going to try out the other products in this new brand!" —Kittenface24

I haven't tried the sunscreen and make up so I don't know how that will work. But I am not really concerned since I don't use makeup on a regular. Overall I love it and will definitely buy some more.
