    35 Amazing Beauty Products So You Can Upgrade Your Whole Routine

    It's time to ditch all your old (and probably expired) products and start using these reviewer-beloved versions.

    1. A Revlon One-Step dryer that will give you a salon-like blowout in the comfort of your own home. No more juggling a blow-dryer and a hair brush — this tool combines them and will make your life soooo much easier.

    P.S. Revlon also has a One-Step Styler specifically for curly hair for only $32.62! It has over 40,000 5-star ratings and is just as loved as this original One-Step dryer.

    Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. I haven’t had to use a blow dryer or straightener since getting this. It is so easy to use and cuts my time in 1/2. My hair is thinning as I age and this gives me much more body to my hair. Wish I got one of these years ago." —Kelly Carreiro

    "Omg! It really works on natural 4c hair!! This thing is amazing and what I have been needing for a long time! I was skeptical and thought only worked on people that already had good hair. So not true!!! I’m so impressed! It’s sturdy and heavy. The hot gets really hot and the cool it really cool! To get the results I achieved, I washed and towel blotted my hair. Added a little castor oil and dried using a rolling motion. My hair was completely dry in about 15 minutes! It’s so nice and fluffy and has so much body! Oh yeah I have to mention that when drying and using the rolling motion, the cord turns along with it so you don’t have to worry about it curling and knotting up! I hope it lasts a while because this is my go-to now!!" —Ree Ree

    Get it from Amazon for $37.22+ (available in nine colors and multiple versions).

    2. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara because idk about you, but the thought of putting on fake lashes every day sounds like ~a lot~ of work, especially when products like this exist and can give you the same look with soo much less effort.

    Promising review: "I have used every mascara on the planet (not literally but I have tried dozens) from the most expensive to the least. This little jewel is the best-kept mascara secret ever! Lifts and separates lashes with no clumping, and did you see this price?? Trust me, this is a must have for any make-up collection. You absolutely can't go wrong with this!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    3. An E.l.f putty primer so you can feel confident that the makeup you just spent a lot of time on will actually stay in place all day. Plus this primer is designed to help reduce the appearance of your pores, so your skin will look extra ~smooth~ and hydrated.

    Promising reviews: "I read reviews about this primer and at the price, I was a little skeptical. I threw my more expensive primer away as soon as I got this! Very nice coverage, just remember a little bit goes a long way!" —Byron

    "I was skeptical but after trying this Poreless Putty my mind is forever changed! It shrunk my pores and made them seem like they were gone forever! Apply it and then apply foundation. It makes my skin feel great! No bad odor and doesn't make my skin oily! I will keep using this product!" —Christy

    Get it from Amazon for $10.

    4. Eyeshadow patches to achieve those ~crisp~ eyeliner and shadow lines that you cannot ever seem to get perfect by just freehanding. Not to mention they'll help protect the rest of your face from fallen makeup.

    These have adhesive on the back so nothing moves around in the process.

    Promising review: "My prayers were finally answered. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. It keeps eye shadow from getting on the cheeks which tends to happen every time I apply eyeshadow. These strips catch all the falling eye makeup. I’m glad I found them. Highly recommend." —Frequent shopper

    Get a 120-pack from Amazon for $6.99

    5. A Korean microdermabrasion mitt so you can finally ~effectively~ remove all the dead skin that has been building up on your body for...longer than we might like to admit. Is it gross? Maybe, but is it satisfying? Absolutely.

    Watch one TikToker use it to remove their self-tanner buildup here!

    Promising reviews: "I love these mitts so much, I wish I found them sooner! For me, brushes and loofahs don’t give me enough exfoliation and they fall apart and get gross too fast. These mitts are perfect. Also, they are way more cost effective and easier to use than a sugar scrub type product. I feel like these mitts will last a long time, and they’re easy to clean and have a loop so you can hang them to dry in your shower. I keep one at my place and one at my boyfriend's. They are a little rough so it’s not something you want to use more than twice per week, and use gentle motions in sensitive areas. My skin is so smooth after I use these and it’s helped me get rid of ingrown hairs on my bikini line. Just make sure to moisturize after using! I’m excited to use it for when I apply fake tan in the summer months." —Amazon Customer

    "I'll be honest; I thought this would be another thing I saw on TikTok that was way overhyped. I have super dry skin and despite using lotions, oils, and gentle body washes. This thing is incredible. I don't think I've ever been this exfoliated in my life! Not a single flake or scaly patch in sight. 1,000/10." —Ruth Bromberg

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in a one- or two-pack). 

    6. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer, which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door.

    Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high-end to low — MAC, Lorac, Urban Decay...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. I use this primer and my shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands, if I'm lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you Elizabeth Mott for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" —Melissa Mae

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    7. And a long-lasting makeup setting spray that'll protect all your hard work and prevent it from smudging or fading. 🙌🏼 Honestly the only explanation for this is that it is some magical potion.

    Sephora

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "This is personally my absolute favorite setting spray. My skin is soooo so oily some days it looks like I rubbed Popeyes chicken on my face. This spray keeps me matte and keeps my makeup in place ALL 👏 DAY 👏. Like, even after brunch in DC (if you're from DC you know brunch is an all day event) my makeup looks absolutely perfect. You know when you come home from a full day out and you kinda cringe because your makeup has moved all around? Yeah, never happens with this spray. I get home, look in the mirror, and I'm still a baddie!! Nothing has ever worked this well for me, like, this spray really works harder than Kris Jenner, I kid you not. 10/10 recommend."

    Promising review: "I had received a deluxe sample of this from Urban Decay and had been using it on the days where I had a yoga class from 7:30 p.m.–9:00 p.m. — which means my makeup was on my face for OVER 12 hours. My makeup always came out just fine after my class, even after sweating like a pig! I forgot to spray it on last week and what a mistake! I came out of my class looking like a drowned raccoon. I've since bought a full-size bottle. It doesn't bother my sensitive skin and I haven't seen issues with breakouts either (but I don't use it daily). It does seem to make my makeup look more polished, similar to if you set your makeup with a light spray of water. If you sweat when using it, somehow the makeup stays put and you just sweat. It's magical. I do think it can feel a little tight when first sprayed. I noticed that the first few times in particular, but not so much now and after a few minutes I don't notice it. Anyways, if you dance or exercise and can't wash your face beforehand, try this!" —latp

    Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes).

    8. A heatless hair curler to give you amazingly bouncy curls with no damage because there is no heat!! The curler is also made with satin to help prevent tangled hair.

    a reviewer with their hair wrapped in the curler before bed
    the same reviewer showing big curls the morning after

    This heatless curler comes as a set, so you'll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase!

    Promising review: "I could not be more obsessed with this. I have stick-straight hair and I'm a new mom. I love feeling glam but have about seven minutes to get ready every morning. I put these in when I go to sleep at night. They're comfy and only take two minutes to put in. And when I wake up, I pull them out in 15 seconds, mist with hairspray, and I have bouncy curls for the rest of the day. Works better than curling irons for me!" —nikki liu

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors/patterns).

    9. Or a 42-pack of no-heat curling rods you can use on any length or texture hair, and you don't have to worry about getting all caught up in Velcro like other curlers. Just wrap your hair around the rods, fold them, and when you take them out you'll be in awe of how good your hair looks.

    Promising review: "I LOOOOVE these curlers! My hair is super long and it never does anything but awkwardly bend because it’s super poker straight! I have to have curlers in overnight to get any curl to stick and these are super comfortable to sleep in! My curls were amazing!! Finally an adorable spiral curl! What’s even better is the second day they STILL looked beautiful! I cannot rant and rave enough about how awesome these are!" —Amazon Customer

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99.

    10. A sheer tint BB cream designed to mattify, conceal, minimize the look of pores, reduce redness, hydrate, and smooth. (Dang, what can't this thing do?!) Oh! Plus it's oil-free AND has a little salicylic acid to help clear up acne.

    Promising review: "Personally, I never liked a liquid form of makeup it was hard to use in my opinion. But this completely changed my mind and I love using it. Super easy to apply for first-time makeup users." —Rene 

    Get it from Amazon for $6.55+ (available in five shades). 

    11. An eyebrow stencil kit, which includes 30 wearable stencils so you can create perfect (and matching!) eyebrows when you're shaping or filling them in.

    top: a reviewers eyebrows with many of the outer hairs gone, bottom: the same reviewer after using the stencil to fill in their brows

    The kit comes with 30 different eyebrow stencils, a shaping razor, and a double-sided waterproof eyebrow pencil.

    Promising review: "Really great! Surprisingly! I bought these expecting the worst and they were awesome! There are tons of different eyebrow stencil options. I found one closest to my eyebrow shape. I struggle with drawing my eyebrows to match. Their shapes are naturally quite different. This set did a great job. I used my own brow pencil however because the light brown color is very crayon brown. I like a more taupe color for my brows." —Chls

    Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors and a 24-piece set).

    12. A heat-activated anti-frizz treatment to apply before you blow dry so you can get incredible results like below. 🤯 Chris Appleton (you know, Kim Kardashian and J.Lo's stylist) absolutely loves this stuff.

    Promising review: This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I l don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. —Lillee45

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).

    You can also try the extra strength version if you have extremely dry hair or the curly hair version!

    13. Maybelline multi-use concealer that can not only conceal, but contour and correct as well, so you don't have to hear anyone say "oh you look tired" today. This concealer provides you with 12 hours of moisture and medium coverage.

    Promising review: "As its name implies, this product erases discolorations of the skin or dark circles under the eyes. I use this product every day to give my skin a more even tone and to get rid of those dark spots and circles on my face that come with age. An added perk is that the product also moisturizes so it's a two-in-one tool. It is lightweight and yet provides total coverage of skin imperfections. Love this product!!" —Jessica

    Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (available in a variety of shades and quantities).

    14. A fabulous lip-plumping gloss set to create absolutely luscious lips for anyone who likes the look of lip fillers but not the price or commitment.

    You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips.

    Promising reviews: "I loved this stuff, it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" —Alexandra

    "I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

    15. A blurring setting powder that'll help create silky smooth, poreless-looking, matte skin for up to 14 hours….I mean come on, what kind of sorcery is this?!

    model before and after using blurring powder

    Sephora

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "I love love love this stufffff, omg. My skin is oily oily (gotta say it twice for emphasis) and I have spent my entire teen/adult life looking for products that'll make me matte and KEEP me matte. I've tried so many setting powders and literally none can compete with this one. This powder is a serious bad B. I mean, pores? Nonexistent. Oily shiny face? Not up in here. I'm gagged every time. Just call me a walking IG filter, 'kay, it's that good. Patrick, I could kiss you for this freakin' powder. *OH!* and BTW I am a brown-skinned woman and the translucent shade works perfect for me. No cakey, weird, suuuper light powder, no flashback, nothing. Looks just like my skin!!"

    One/Size is a queer, Filipino-owned business founded by makeup expert Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be. 

    Promising review: "Literally, what's in this powder? Beauty spells? I have normal to dry skin but tend to grease up pretty easy when I use dewy foundations. I used this for the first time today and fell absolutely in love! I usually don’t care too much for high end powders or powders at all but this one for me is top tier. It didn’t necessarily dry out my skin but it stopped it from becoming greasy and it kept my makeup looking the same as when I applied it for hours. I definitely will be repurchasing, I’ve never been more in love with a setting powder!" —Kamoni

    Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes and four finishes).

    16. Honeyskin Ultimate Face and Body cream designed to help fight rosacea, dry skin, eczema, flaking, and acne while soothing and rejuvenating your skin. What could make this better? Oh, just the ahhmazing anti-inflammatory ingredients — manuka honey, Australian cehami, and shea butter.

    Promising review: "Simply the best healing, refreshing cream anywhere. This cream is simply magic. I have some rosacea and since I have been using it, I seldom have any breakouts on my face. I had mild psoriasis on my elbows and it is all but gone. One day I got a sunburn and put this on and all the stinging was gone immediately and it never peeled. I have tried many top-of-the line products before this. This is simply fabulous. A friend told me that he had been recommended this by his dermatologist and it was wonderful. I believed him! Glad I got it." —Carole Ciraulo

    Get it from Amazon for $14.76+ (available in three sizes).

    17. An eyelash growth serum to help give you the eyelashes of your dreaaams. (You know, like the ones little kids have?? Like who decided they should have the best lashes out there?!) Apply this serum consistently like you would a top liner and you'll be thrilled with the results. 

    Promising review: "I bought this in January because of TikTok reviews. I tried to be consistent with this 1–2 times a day for a little over two months now, and I’ve seen a huge difference. My eyelashes are noticeably longer and I wear way way less mascara. I usually give up on things like this when I don’t see results instantly, but I’m glad I stuck with it. It takes a couple of months, but I definitely will keep using this serum." —Julie

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two variations). 

    18. A tube of Roc retinol night cream that you'll have to see to believe — put it on at night to help you wake up with smooth and radiant skin.

    Promising review: "I did a lot of research on Retinol anti-wrinkle face creams before purchasing this product. It consistently got high ratings and at a price I could afford. I was not going to pay $100+ for comparable products. Much to my surprise, I saw visible results after only one week of use. Wow. Highly recommend." —Lisa

    Get it from Amazon for $16.94.

    19. Dr. Jart+'s Mini Cicapair Tiger Grass Color-Correcting Treatment designed to help cover blemishes and neutralize redness, PLUS it has SPF 30. It can be worn under your makeup or on its own — either way, you'll be loving your results.

    Promising review: "The hype is to be believed. I discovered this product from TikTok. I loved how she showed the application and the payoff, which is reduced redness. I have rosacea with a lot of redness around my nose and outside the corners of my mouth. This reduces the redness without having to use foundation." —DJJJJ

    20. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Powder Foundation that is literally witchcraft in a compact — it promises up to 24 hours of transfer- and sweat-resistant wear all while providing a mattified, smooth, flawless complexion…even after a *full* day of activities.

    Promising review: "I have purchased this three times in the color Sienna, and it is perfect! Totally worth all the hype on TikTok. This is a very emollient powder that sticks to the skin. I prep with sunscreen then use this. The fragrance dissipates quickly. I noticed the actual powder is bouncy to the touch. Have not used the pelican or sponge it comes with. I like to use a powder brush. It gives me full coverage, and I look flawless all day. I also don’t need to blot. And I am very oily. Will certainly continue to repurchase. This is the best powder I have tried since Mac Studio Fix." —Maria Webba

    Get it from Amazon for $9.40+ (available in 13 shades).

    21. A deeply conditioning hair mask made with castor oil and biotin that'll help bring your hair back from dry and damaged to healthy-looking and hydrated. Bonus: it'll help reduce shedding and breakage!

    Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "My scalp felt invigorated after applying. I left the masque on overnight and when I rinsed the next morning my scalp felt refreshed and clean. I actually think this product also aided in elongating my curls. Hair looks hydrated as well! I plan to use every two weeks." —Dawn M.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    22. A powerful snail repair cream that may sound a bit off-putting, but it'll help brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, and add plumpness. It uses snail mucin extract and is rich in hyaluronic acid (hydrates) and glycolic acid (stimulates collagen production).

    Promising review: "I'm 55 years old and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely notice an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is great. I had questions when I first received the product and got a followup response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" —sbakey

    Get it from Amazon for $15.95.

    23. Bed Head Wave Artist Deep Waver to create perfect beachy waves, no ocean required! It's so easy — just clamp it closed and repeat all the way down your hair.

    Reviewers with various hair types says this tool is golden — thin straight hair, thick 4c hair, etc. A few people noted that it's even wig- and weave-safe! And FYI, this hair tool also reduces frizz and adds shine, too.

    Promising reviews: "I AM OBSESSED. My friends recommended this product and I’m so glad I finally got one!!!! I feel like the waves look so natural. I have straight, fine hair that can barely hold a curl and I don’t even have to use hairspray to keep these waves, plus it adds lots of volume! Once you get the technique down it’s super quick and easy, takes me about 15 minutes or so! I can’t say enough good things about this product, so just get it!! —Lydia Delcourt

    "I'm always skeptical on new hair tools, as I've been burned many times (pun intended). However, I kept seeing posts about how great this tool is, so I bought it. I love it! My hair is to my waist and very thick and naturally curly, and it worked very well. it took me about 15 minutes to waive all my hair. The tool is light and has a comfortable grip. I use the highest heat setting and hold it on my hair for five seconds on each portion of the section of hair I'm working on. The waves can hold for days...I highly recommend." —Ana V.

    Get it from Amazon for $26.75+ (available in two colors).

    24. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that'll gently yet effectively remove your makeup (yup, even waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance!). It features Japanese pearl barley, which melts into your skin to hydrate while cleansing away impurities.

    Juno & Co. is a small business focused on moving away from the traditional beauty market to sustainable and simplified formulas. 

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

    25. Glossier Wowder, and no, the name isn't a lie, you will say "wow" every time you put it on if you forget how well it softens shine and smooths skin. Your foundation lasting all night is just the icing on the cake.

    Former BuzzFeed editor Jasmin Sandal has this and says, "I had been meaning to give this a whirl since its release a few years ago, and, boy, I don't know why I waited so long to snag it because this stuff has changed the game. I recently moved from New York to California and, let me tell you, with this change in climate, my skin has gone through every phase imaginable: Painfully flaky with patches of dryness, breakouts beyond belief, and shine, ooh, so much shine you'd think there had been an oil spill. (And I'm telling you all of this because no matter what I put on my face, makeup never sits on it quite like I want it to.) Enter Wowder — the pillowy-soft powder that has done the unthinkable: blurred my imperfections and sets my concealer without leaving a chalky residue. Now any time I catch my reflection in the mirror I literally have to do a double take. My skin appears smoother and any fine lines look so much softer. A little goes a long way — and now I can leave my house with a little more confidence and return with a look that hasn't wavered."

    Oh! And it's vegan and cruelty-free.

    Promising review: "I have pretty oily skin and I always look shiny by the end of the day. This setting powder left me with a matte finish that lasted all day. :)" —Sammy

    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

    Promising review: "I got this in my Ipsy glam bag a few years ago and was mad when I ran out. I randomly saw this the other day and remembered how much I had loved it previously. This product is amazing!! My hair feels like pure silk! It’s sooo soft and smooth after using this. I’ve used so many other products, expensive ones, and nothing works as well as this! I highly recommend this!" —Melissa

    Promising review: "I was skeptical because I’ve tried lots of other whitening products that did not work. But I was amazed that this one actually works! In just a few days I’m already seeing results! Just make sure to follow the instructions. Brush and floss beforehand, use a tissue to dry your teeth off, keep smiling for 30 seconds after applied to all teeth and voila! :)" —Samantha Till

    This roller is better than blotting sheets because it is reusable and you won't find a stash of used papers in the bottom of your purse after a weekend full of events. It's made with volcanic stone which absorbs the extra oil on your skin. Simply roll it across your face and watch it instantly ~mattify~ without messing up your makeup! 

    Promising review: "I’m not sure how or why this works, but it actually does make the shine disappear. Must have if you tend to get oily during the day! It will not mess up your makeup." —JJones

    Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver, simply amazing!! My before picture (above) is from two months ago without using Tendskin after shaving. That’s how bad my thighs used to get two to three days after shaving. I used to cry so much because EVERYTHING hurt my thighs, including my silk covers. My after picture is from two months later. As you can see it’s a tremendous difference. Although I still have scars, my shaving doesn’t bring tears to my eyes anymore. It’s helped with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and my sensitivity to denim." —Kim

    Promising reviews: "I never would have believed I would go against everything I thought I knew about curls. As someone who has had a love/hate relationship with my hair, it had taken years to perfect my method of wide tooth comb in the shower and never would think to put a brush through my wet hair. After my curl expert hair stylist rocked my world by using this brush, I’ve converted! And my curls have never been more uniform, less frizzy, hold better the next day, etc. Go for it, curly one!" —Patricia

    "I'm never going back to cheap brushes again.. Only Denman from now on. This brush does exactly what is advertised. I never knew how important it is to invest in a good quality brush until now and I'm very happy with my purchase." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I never write reviews but this was worth the review. For whatever reason my eyebrows are covered in grays yet I have none on my head. Mind you I have very dark brows. The grays hair are extremely noticeable. This tint magic has brought my brows back to life without looking fake. It’s completely natural looking and easy to use. I’m buying two more. One to leave in my car and another for my desk." —Amazon Customer

    Blume is a BIPOC-, woman-, and family-owned small biz based in Vancouver that makes cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally-friendly skincare in snazzy packaging. 

    Promising review: "This oil is the closest thing to a 'cure' for breakouts that I have ever used! I have struggled my entire life with breakouts and have even been on Accutane three times. Since I’ve begun using Meltdown Oil, not only do I rarely get an outbreak, but if I do it clears immediately with the application of the oil on the spot(s). This is the 'holy grail' for acne sufferers." —Pam S.

    34. Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Treatment infused with protein to help restore your hair. Reviewers are even saying it's comparable to Olaplex (and less than one-third of the price)!

    Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing! I saw this as a beauty recommendation on BuzzFeed as an alternative for Olaplex (which I had tried and wasn't blown away by) so I thought I would give it a try — and I'm so thankful I did! My bleached and heat-damaged hair feels so soft, is more manageable, and looks healthier after each use. I agree with other reviewers that it seems like a big price tag for the size of the bottle, but a little bit does go a long way, and it is so worth it. I wish it came in a larger size bottle so I didn't have to reorder so quickly." —Carley S. Whitson

    "I was skeptical. I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure this would work on my 4c hair. It made my hair so soft! And I didn’t need to use a tremendous amount of product. It made it easy to comb out and blow dry my hair. It even made it smoother after the flatiron. You can’t beat it for the price." —Niki D.

    35. Nip + Fab Daily Cleansing Pads that'll reveal brighter and clearer skin by using 2.8% glycolic acid, which provides a chemical exfoliation. And to balance that out, it also has hyaluronic acid for moisture and witch hazel to soothe and tone.

    These are designed to resurface and retexture your skin, revealing an exfoliated and brightened complexion beneath!

    Promising review: "I’m really impressed with these pads. I’ve suffered from adult cystic acne for about a decade now, and have tried countless products over the years. Adding these things into my skincare routine has made my skin look bright and clear like porcelain. I still get the occasional blemish, but they’re always very small and go away in a day or two. I highly recommend them." —Caroline Powell
