Promising review: "This treatment works like a charm! I have struggled with pigmentation and breakouts, and I tried product after product. I've noticed evening of my skin tone and texture for the first time since I started using this regularly! Minimizes bumps and breakouts almost instantly! I've recommended this to all my friends who love it just as much!" —fpSaraNJ
Promising review: "I have been struggling with acne for as long as I can remember and Solution has SAVED my skin. Haven't had a pimple since I started using this last month. My usually oily skin has been so soft and glowing and my years of acne scars are vanishing. 100% worth every penny." —MRB

I loooooooove this magical potion of primer-y goodness. A little goes such a long way, and the second it's spread out across my skin, my face feels like silk. It evens everything out so makeup goes on flawlessly.
Promising review: "As someone with dry skin, I have struggled to find a pore-filling primer that works for me. This goes on smoothly, smells nice, and doesn't dry out my face further or sit on top and add texture. The areas I apply it to look smoother!" —Ariana1975

Promising review: "I was in desperate need of something to help my skin because I was breaking out like crazy (graduating college senior moving between three different states during this global pandemic-what can I say?😂) I started using this and noticed my skin was breaking out a little bit. My first thought, 'Great. Another product that didn’t work for me.' But, I was committed to seeing if it was just going to get worse before it gets better. I was right. I have been using this religiously for a month straight at night and I have seen my hormonal acne improved drastically. Don’t be afraid if your skin gets a little worse like mine did. It was just hidden potential." —Katie

Promising review: "Neutrogena Hydro Boost is nothing short of miraculous. I've never been more pleased with a facial moisturizer. I was impressed with how smoothly it went on and how it's completely invisible. Even better, my skin didn't feel tight or coated. Then the miracle: A couple of hours later, I looked in the mirror, and surprise, no dry, flaky skin. I assumed it just hadn't had time to get back to its dry condition, but this morning it still looks as smooth as it does in the summertime." —robynseggblue
Also! There are two kinds: A gel cream suitable for extra dry skin, and the water gel for moderately dry skin.

Promising review: "I noticed a big difference in my skin ever since the first time I used it. It truest helps with acne scarring, evening out skin tones, and much more. Also I have very sensitive acne-probe skin and it definitely helped with all of that. I would definitely recommend anyone to this product." —Kaylee
Get it from Skinstore for $6.40.
Promising review: "This product has worked GREAT on my armpits where I had big, painful, gross, inflamed and embarrassing hair follicles for YEARS! I use a dollar shave razor now, changed every couple of weeks with Tend Skin after every shower and before deodorant. Miracles!" —A User
Get it from Amazon for $14.02.
Promising review: " I have used it consistently for two weeks, and even had my husband use it. It has held up. The roller's most useful benefit IMHO is the fantastic way it distributes products! My face serum usage is easily halved. Without it absorbing into my skin of my fingers during application, it will be saving me a lot of money. After storing it in the fridge, I noticed how it reduced slight swelling and general puffiness. I liked it so well I bought another in the jade color." —A. Olsen
Get it from Amazon for $20.97 (also available in green).
Promising review: "I just started using this, but I'm already blown away by the results. It hydrates my face without making my skin feel or look oily — I have gone all winter long without any dry patches because of this! I am one super happy user!!!!" —Steffy
Get it from Truly for $19.
Promising review: "I’m so surprised at the effect this has had on my skin. The two are similar but I’ve been using the green spray after the shower or whenever I need to feel cooled down (it’s in my bag at work for a refresher, etc.) and I’ve been using the rose spray to set my makeup and in place of toner if I forego my typical toner. I have absolutely noticed softer skin in just a few days, which I am so surprised about!" —Jennifer Jacob-Freese

Promising review: "Love this stuff so much! Since I have sensitive skin, it's always been hard for me to find a good cleanser. But this stuff is awesome. It's so gentle and feels so nice when you massage it into your skin. Its texture is amazing and better than any other gel cleanser I've tried. I can tell that my skin has improved after using this stuff. A bonus is the subtle rose smell, which is thankfully not from any artificial fragrance. This cleanser is perfect for sensitive skin." —glitter
Get it from Glossier for $9+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and swear I can already see results. I'm not a skincare junkie – I generally have a hard time sticking with any skincare regimen because it feels over-complicated and not worth it. I genuinely feel like this is brightening my skin a bit and I enjoy using it. Really enjoy the push pump feature instead of having to turn the bottle upside down, too." —Moxmoxmox
Get it from Versed for $17.99.
This mask works best when applied with an applicator as water, oil, and air can begin the foaming process and ruin the mask.
Promising review: "Literally made my boyfriend's blackheads disappear! Made our faces feel so clean. I'm a mask junkie and have gotten masks from all the top brands both drugstore, Lush, and Sephora or Ulta. This is one of my new favorites! Also so much fun to watch it bubbles up, feels like a spa treatment." —Katie Mitchell

Here's what some of the wipes claim to do:
• Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes: Cleanse while soothing, relaxing, and softening.
• Rose Cleansing Wipes: Cleanse while brightening and providing ultra-hydration.
• Yuzu Cleansing Wipes: Cleanse while revitalizing and toning.
• Green Tea Exfoliating Wipes: Matiffy and fight the appearance of blemishes while cleansing.
• Charcoal Exfoliating Wipes: Purify and detoxify with charcoal, which draws out impurities and pollutants like a magnet.
Promising review: "The coconut water wipes are AMAZING! I was hesitant to try them at first because they are a little more $ than the regular drugstore brand wipes, but I fell in LOVE! Soothing and hydrating for my sensitive skin, and the smell is pleasant but not overwhelming. It gets all my make up off with no oily residue! Completely worth the money you pay for them! I will never use another brand again!" —LaceyPDX
Get them for Sephora for $8 each (available 10 six types and two sizes).
Promising review: "It's really hydrating and gives you a very subtle plump. I saw changes in my chapped lips the very next day." —Maytheli M.

"I have pretty finicky skin so I've been on the hunt for a toner for a while. Originally I was using Mario Badescu's Rose Facial Spray, but eventually my skin decided it didn't like it, leaving me with big blotchy redness. After some trial and error, I found a toner so mild, even my dry and very sensitive skin likes it. Kiehl's calls their Cucumber Herbal Toner the 'mildest of all our toners,' and I can definitely believe that.
"This calming and gentle solution leaves my face feeling refreshed and soothed. This toner is non-drying, alcohol-free, and has just a hint of a cucumber smell. I like to put this in a glass spray bottle and give my face a spritz after washing my face in the morning and at night. If you have dry, sensitive skin and need a good toner, this is a great option!" —Bek O'Connell

Promising review: "Holy cow. I was not expecting something so simple to be so amazing. I read another reviewers comment about how they kept theirs in the fridge and tried this as well before trying it. After cleansing my face, I took this out and rubbed some under my eyes and it was the most cooling and refreshing feeling! Not only that, but the next day I visibly noticed lightening of my dark circles and the skin under my eyes looked brighter and well-moisturized. I really enjoyed the scent of this as well and will definitely keep using this in the future because I actually look forward to taking my makeup off and using this every day!" —Amelia

It's gentle enough to use twice a day — and specifically works to target and control oil, and then treat blackheads and breakouts so their skin is left clear, clear, and clear.
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 — laying on my pillow hurt my face! To top it all off, my skin was also dry, and irritated. I tried every skin care line on the market for about two to three years, with no, or very little, results. Finally, I found La Roche-Posays skin care 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

Promising review: "I love this lip mask! I have always struggled to find a lip product that would keep my severely dry lips at bay and this is the product! I have been using this for the past few weeks and I have never had such plush smooth lips. I wear it at night and sometimes during the day depending on what I am doing. If you struggle with dry lips, I highly recommend you give this a try." —Holly2176

Promising review: "Colonial Dámes Vitamin E cream. My mom has been using it FOREVER and her skin looks amazing, even at 60. I swear this is her secret. It’s this luxurious, thick cream that is great for applying just before bed, and I’ve started using it regularly myself. I’ve never heard of it from anyone else other than her, and she’s ecstatic that she can now buy it on Amazon!" —mirandaheaney

Promising review: "My mom had the most beautiful clear, soft skin. She used original Noxzema every day since she was a teenager in the '70s. When I was a teenager I tried all the trendy face washes and acne products, but now in my thirties I use original Noxzema and it smells like my mom. She passed away seven years ago so it's partly ritualistic I'm sure, but I will use it every day until they stop making it." —katiedwm
