    34 Beauty Products Under $15 That Reviewers Totally Swear By

    And we have the receipts.

    1. Bio Oil gently treats uneven complexions — along with a myriad of other skin concerns — which has left over 100,000 reviewers raving. It's also noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and *jumps for joy* can be used on the face to eradicate acne scars, too.

    2. Glossier Balm Dotcom packs a punch in antioxidants and natural emollients, like castor oil, lanolin, and beeswax to treat and lock in moisture for chafed skin. Over 4,000 Glossier stans agree this is their everyday ~salve~ for unwanted dryness.

    3. PanOxyl Foaming Face Wash fights present and future breakouts with a 10% benzoyl peroxide formula. It powerfully kills off bacteria to prevent new skin bullies from appearing, and deals with those that are currently on the surface by unclogging pores and helping skin shed more effectively. (Since this is max. strength — those with sensitive skin should read on below).

    4. Colab Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo works the overnight shift to freshen up your sad, greasy roots. Since this stuff does the work of two products (cares + cleanses your scalp with pink clay and lavender), you and your locks can wake up feeling refreshed — and with more time to snooze!

    5. Maybelline Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer pencils in patchy brows for a look that's natural, long lasting, and can be tamed using the soft, built-in spoolie. And! Reviewers note that the angled pencil allows for quicker (and easier) application over a smaller, pointed tip.

    6. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water dissolves full faces of selfie-ready makeup with a super-gentle liquid solution. Even waterproof mascara and long-wear lip stains are no match after a couple of swipes with this, which helps to remove dirt and oil without over-drying.

    7. Essence Lash Princess Mascara achieves skyscraper, falsie lashes at such a gaspworthy price, 200,000+ reviewers haven't been able to shut up about it. Yep, this holy grail sculpts lashes at only $5 a tube, which, if you think about it, is less than a fancy coffee order!

    8. Acavado's Eyelash Brush separates eye whiskers that have fallen prey to one too many coats of mascara (cc: spider lashes). This'll comb through clumps — and with its curved design, will give you a more natural, fanned-out look instantly.

    9. Vanicream Moisturizing Cream pumps out hydration for your whole bod with a fuss-free formula that's omitted fragrances, dyes, and parabens to take care of eczema and just generally irritated epidermis. Enthusiasts are noting stinging, burning, and itchiness are now a thing of the past!

    10. Wet N' Wild Mega Last Breakup-Proof Liquid Eyeliner delivers high-end results at a drugstore price. Think: an opaque, streak-free wing, flick, or bold stroke that lasts up to 16(!) hours. Ultra-pigmented and waterproof, this draws a precise, foolproof line every time, *and* features an ultrafine brush tip.

    11. Bestool Detangler Brush tells knots and tangles to take a hike with its unique, flexible combs that work to separate 3a to 4c hair — wet *or* dry! Gliding through your tresses without pain or breakage has never been more effortless, so you never have to fear wash day ever again.

    12. Bawdy Butt Sheet Masks redefine the meaning of self-care for le derrière. Thanks to natural, plant-based ingredients, you can slap on some moisture and tone every inch of your booty-ful self, one cheek at a time (...or at the exact same time).

    13. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo reverses any sign of itchy, flaky scalps by targeting the source of the issue instead of just masking it. Admirers mention that after just two uses, their pesky dandruff has virtually vanished and they even say they've noticed a difference with shedding *and* hair loss, too.

    This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b-4c curls mentioning it worked for them.

    Promising review: "This product is great. My scalp is moist but without all the scaly dry skin. My hair feels nice, not oily or weighed down nor extremely dry like hay. It is soft and manageable. Of all the products I have used for dandruff and dry scalp, this is the best one I have used. I swear by this shampoo. Don't hesitate to order if you are looking for a non-prescription shampoo. My dermatitis is severe meaning extremely dry scalp and all that goes with it. You will be pleased with this product." —MLB

    14. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment (also known as the Olaplex dupe) revives and repairs locks that have endured multiple dye jobs, intense heat tools, or sun damage. AKA it's time to become reacquainted with your silkiest, shiniest, run-your-fingers-through-with-ease hair!

    15. Maybelline Lip Lifter Gloss hydrates your pout with hyaluronic acid to leave your skin with a sheer, silky finish. Reviewers mention that this does a fab job at hiding fine lip lines and leaves them feeling soft, full, and never sticky.

    17. Avarelle Tea Tree and Calendula Oil–Infused Pimple Patches combat whiteheads so powerfully, you'll be recommending these in all of your group chats.

    23. Pretty Fab Nails Mani Wraps afford you the ability to live out your nail art Insta dreams without the fuss, time, or effort. These minimalist squiggly lines look like the real deal and won't chip or smudge, *plus* they last for weeks — according to admirers.

    29. Hero Cosmetics Super Fuel Serum Stick glides over the skin post-cleanse to help those who are not out of the maskne woods yet (#me). And you can take this on the go, since its cooling and soothing properties revive lackluster skin, balance oil and bacteria, and calm redness stat.

    31. L’Oréal Lamellar Hair Treatment works like a treat in eight, yes, you read that correctly, EIGHT seconds to transform fine to curly textures. Think: mirror-like shine and softer-than-soft locks in less time than it takes to say "arriverderci to you, frizz!"

    32. Sevích Hairline Shadow touches up graying roots and fills in thinning areas to give the appearance of denser, thicker hair without the fuss.
