We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion, a fan-favorite, glycerin-infused illuminator you can mix in with moisturizer or foundation, wear as a base under makeup, *or* apply as a highlight or bronzer for a natural looking (and not glittery) glow.
Reviewers say it's similar to the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops!
Promising review: "Best find this year!! Moisturizing tint with a subtle glow is a perfect first layer for full makeup days or the only foundation needed for light days. I love the rest of the Lumi products as well." —Kelly Burich Kennedy
Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for seven months and I’ve been complimented almost weekly about how I get my skin to look so dewy and glowy. I use this all over with a good coverage foundation and i’ve never felt/looked so sunkissed. Such an amazing product for a killer price!" —Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in four shades).
2. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, a cult-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "OBSESSED. I can't say enough great things about this lotion. Don't hesitate, just buy." —Summer
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed my this cream, but it is life changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle Brown
Get a 2.5-ounce jar from Amazon for $22 (also available in an 8-ounce size for $48).
And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products, including a fragrance!
3. A 2-in-1 Kiss eyeliner that's actually *also* false eyelash glue, so you can get out the door in way less time — just line with the easy-to-draw felt tip, let the glue get tacky, and stick those falsies on!
If you're looking for falsies, people *love* (I'm sure you've seen them on TikTok) the Ardell wispies — you can get them from Amazon for $8.98. Some people cut them apart for that ~individual~ look.
Promising review: "Best product I've discovered in years. Cut my getting ready time in half." —Sequoia Burge
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! Goes on just like an eyeliner but holds the lashes all day. I clean houses and I sweat and I put my lashes on at 8:30am and at 11:45 p.m., they were still glued on really well. I would say use some oil free makeup remover on a Q-tip and run it over the band of the lashes before removing because 14 hours later they will still be glued on really well. But doing that they came off easily. Best money I ever spent." —Shannon alaniz
Get the liner from Amazon for $7.18.
4. Or if you're looking for something closer to natural-looking lash extensions, a set of Lilac St. false lash segments that last for up to *10 days*. Just apply the mascara-like glue to the underside of your lashes and attach the segments wherever you'd like additional length and volume.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these lashes!!! I used to get professional eyelash extensions but due to my work environment in a kitchen/ restaurant they were difficult to maintain so I started experimenting with lashes at home. I have tried all the other top lash cluster brands and Lilac street is #1!!! So easy to apply, remove band is is so nice and thin, flexible length and curl — perfect. Look like extensions!!!! Literally take five minutes to apply and last sooo good!!!!! Please try these! I use Volume 12 so lightweight and comfortable!!!!!" —Jennifer M.
Get the original lashes from Amazon for $9 (available in lengths from 10mm–16mm), and get the lash glue for $12 (available in black and clear). You can also get a starter kit (including 10mm and 12mm lashes, glue, and applicator) for $29.
5. Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you’ll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema!
I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!
Promising review: "This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn't off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can't say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!" —Sarah Deeb
Get it from Amazon for $16.41.
6. A cult favorite Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! mask to take deep conditioning to a deeper level. The blend of rosehip oil, algae extract, B vitamins and more boosts strength, shine, and moisture levels, AND reduces breakage. That's getting the job done.
Promising review: "This is a miracle for my 4c hair. I use the product once a week for an hour and it’s amazing! It’s on the pricier side, but worth the investment because of just how much easier it is to style hair after each use — any knots melt away, leaving me with shinier, fluffier hair that is pillow-soft to the touch." —slamarr
Promising review: “I love it. It makes my hair feel smooth and looks healthy. I have very fine hair, which is prone to split ends and gets greasy easily. I find this product helps with the dryness but doesn’t make my hair greasy. I have purchased it several times and will continue to do so." —vipie
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $39 (also available in mini ($15) and value ($124) sizes).
Btw, Briogeo is a Black woman-founded brand!
7. NYX's waterproof eyeliner pencil, because it has won over more than 70,000 5-star reviewers with its highly pigmented formula and twist-up design. (If you hate sharpening, this one's for you!) And because its waterproof, reviewers love this for using on their waterline!
Promising review: "For years I used MAC black eyeliner, and bought this in a pinch one day at the mall. Best purchase ever! It’s so smooth when it rolls on, you only need one swipe to get a smooth black line! Gone are the days of going back and forth over and over. Love this! New favorite!" —EvaK
Get it from Amazon for $5.66+ (available in 13 shades; shop more here).
8. A two-pack of mint-flavored, sensitive skin-friendly teeth-whitening pens you can just brush on and remove those deep-set coffee, tea, and wine stains — without all the hassle of those trays or strips.
Just twist the bottom, and paint onto your teeth. Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you've used through the handy transparent tube!
Promising review: "I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist which is supposed to be very effective but it only burned my gums and the whitening wasn’t as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews but didn’t have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the doctor’s kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use. It actually works even after first application. It doesn’t burn gums. It doesn’t make your teeth sensitive." —Melinda
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
9. NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip, a lip gloss with the hydration of a lip oil, thanks to vegan squalane, as well as raspberry and cloudberry oils. It's fairly new but already seriously beloved by reviewers who appreciate the sheer wash of color, high-impact shine, and nonsticky finish.
I have two shades and have already ordered a third!
Promising review: "The lip oil trend has fully saturated my TikTok feed. So I was anxious to test and compare. I also own the Dior Lip Oil and tbh NYX is giving them a run for their money. This lip oil does its job for a fraction of the price. The formula isn't as thick as the Dior product but, the color options and leak proof packing make up for it. I'd definitely recommend picking this up to try!" —Courtney Calestiini
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in seven shades, plus clear).
10. An exfoliating mitten so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers. Just lather up and (gently!) massage your skin — reviewers say this is great for preventing ingrown hairs, helping reduce KP, and using before applying fake tan!
Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas.
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE OF MY LIFE. I’m SO excited about these mitts. I have KP on my arms and legs, so exfoliating is extra important for me. I also tend to need to exfoliate more often than the average person, but I never feel like any scrub or brush does enough. These are PERFECT. I followed all of the instructions and the dead skin was just rolling right off, and it felt so nice! I swear this is the cleanest I’ve felt in my entire life, and after only one use my skin is more glowy and smooth than it’s been in years. I don’t think I can live without these now." —bun
Promising review: "I'll be honest; I thought this would be another thing I saw on Amazon via TikTok that was way overhyped. I have dry skin, and despite using lotions, oils, and gentle body washes, I'm an ashy mess. 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 $7.99+ (available with one or two mittens).
11. An ergonomically designed detangling brush with cone-shaped bristles that separate tangles by pulling them apart sideways, not tugging them down. Reviewers say it's a miracle worker for everything from thick, coily hair to the finest strands!
Promising review: "Absolutely worth it. It’s [wild] how well it works! I hate brushing my hair when it’s wet, but with this brush there’s no tangles, yanking or pulling. Best purchase I've ever made." —Aimee Larrabee
Promising review: "I always skeptical of products that claim to 'glide through,' but this brush actually works! I have very thick kinky coily hair and this brush passes through my hair easily both wet and dry. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for a good detangling brush. And yes, I'm leaving my Denman brush for this one." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors and sets of 2).
12. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush, a user-friendly and super buildable formula you can just tap-tap-tap into your skin for a gorgeous flush of color, whether you're going for a natural look or an on-trend bright blush look. Reviewers say if you're a fan of Glossier Cloud Paint, you'll be a fan of this, too. (And you'll save money while you're at it!)
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable alternative, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!"
Promising review: "Throw all your other blushes away. This one is creamy, not greasy, takes just a dab and lasts all day. What more could you want? The only thing that would make it better is if it were free or they sold in like beer in the six-pack. Knowing makeup companies like I do I will order several more because they will soon discontinue the BEST blush ever made regardless of how well it sells. Am I not right? Clinique had an excellent crème blush similar to this one for YEARS and then one day....POOF!! GONE!!! So try it and then buy some extras 'cause you know tomorrow it'll be gone." —Velma Martin
Get it from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in six shades).
13. Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum, which has over 2,500 5-star reviews touting its ability to give that crystal clear mythical "glass skin" with powerhouse actives like niacinamide (a personal favorite) and hyaluronic acid, and frankly delicious-sounding ingredients like peach and East Asian mountain yam.
Promising review: "This is by far the best product I have ever bought. You almost instantly notice the effect and you will be pleased with the results. You don't have to worry about any weird smells. You use such a small amount this sample lasts for a while. This is the number 1 product by peach and lily in my opinion." —Myron R.
Promising review: "This has become my must-have, can't live without. If I have no other products, I need this one in my life. I've been using it for a few months now, morning and night, and noticed dramatic improvement in the clarity, texture, pore size. My skin is so clear, less oily, smoother...I don't feel the need to wear any makeup, which might be a first in my life." —Angela G.
Get it from Peach & Lily or from Ulta for $39.
Peach & Lily is a Korean-owned and woman-owned small beauty brand inspired by K-Beauty — and the products are *popular*.
14. A diffuser attachment with three adjustable air volumes and a deep bowl design to gently gather your curls and waves, drying them in their natural pattern, reducing frizz, and increasing definition AND shine.
It's compatible with diffusers with a diameter of 1.73-1.77 inches — and reviewers note that this even works with a Dyson Airwrap!
Promising review: "This was the best purchase I’ve ever made! I’ve had this diffuser for several months now and it’s completely changed my hair routine. It works so well at drying and plumping my curls without making them frizzy. It’s been a lifesaver. All I need is a spray bottle full of water, a little product, and this diffuser (and my Xtava hair dryer) and I’m set. I use the warm setting on low and it’s perfect. I can go up to four days without washing my curly hair now because of this new hair routine. My hair is so happy and has never looked better!! Only issue is it takes up a lot of space in my suitcase, but it’s worth it. I won’t travel without it." —Sarah Yardley
Promising review: "I so love this diffuser! I've searched everywhere for a diffuser that's big and will work right on my hair. I washed my hair, used my products, then used the blow-dryer. My curls were so defined and popping! I will recommend this to anyone!" –M.D
Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in six colors).
15. Laneige's fan-favorite lip sleeping mask with coconut oil and shea and murumuru seed butters to give your lips a dose of hydration and softness. And yes, it's a sleeping mask, but the gorgeous gloss finish will make you want to slather it on in the daytime too.
I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings too!
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, lip balm, Vaseline even and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honestly the first time I used this product I literally saw instant results overnight! I know I can be on a little pricey side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of PLEASE buy this product; it’s HANDS-DOWN BEST!!!" —Abdullah S.
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six colors/scents).
16. Or a tube of Lanolips ointment if chapped lips are really making you POUT (especially with cold and dry fall and winter air coming around the bend soon). You'll notice a difference in just one use.
Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown loves it: "After truly years of trying all kinds of different lip balms to varying degrees of success, I've finally found the only balm that actually leaves my lips softer and more hydrated every time I use it, even after it rubs off: Lanolips. Before I found it, I suffered from chronically dry lips, thanks to an anxiety-induced lip-licking habit I have yet to break, prescription tretinoin I use daily for acne (not directly on my lips, obvs, but it's just that drying), and a medication I take that just happens to be incredibly dehydrating. (Just peep the pic above! And that's not even really 'before' — it's just when I stopped using Lanolips for four straight days, then two days after I started wearing it again.) The very *first* time I applied Lanolips, it made SUCH a difference through the rest of the evening that I couldn't stop rubbing my lips together and lightly patting them with my fingers! Now, I apply a tiny amount about three times a day and haven't suffered from chapped lips since. A little goes a very long way, and it's kind of goopy and sticky to apply, but I don't care one bit. When it wears off (or soaks in? I think it does a little of both) a little bit later, my lips are still super soft, healthy-looking, and don't hurt or crack when I smile!"
Get the unscented, unflavored Original 101 Superbal from Amazon for $16.95, or get Lanolips Rose Gold 101 Lip & Cheek Tint from Amazon for $17 (available in three shades).
Check out Natalie's full Lanolips review for all the deets.
17. CeraVe Retinol Serum that lives up to the CeraVe name and uses *encapsulated* retinol to reduce the appearance of scars and pores without flaking or redness. If you haven't gotten into retinoids yet or are worried about irritating your skin, this gentle but effective serum is a great option — and reviewers say they like it better than other more expensive options (like Murad's Retinol Serum, which retails for $92).
And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin.
Promising review: "I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." —C. Munsterman
Get it from Amazon for $13.19.
18. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder, which comes packaged in an easy-to-apply, perfect-for-travel powder puff applicator you just tap-tap-tap onto your hair. Just massage the ultra-fine powder into your roots (it's formulated with black ginseng and biotin btw!) and it'll quickly absorb excess oil, leaving you with volumized and refreshed-looking hair.
Promising review: "I’ve tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I’d have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn’t know how much to put and ended up coating my hair by A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head and that’s it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let’s not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It’s so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." —Thuy
Get it from Amazon for $16.
19. Elizabeth Mott's cult favorite Thank Me Later eyeshadow primer to keep your favorite eye makeup look on lock all day AND all night even during your sweatiest summer BBQs, outdoor parties, those hot-hot-hot commutes, and more — *no* creasing, *no* budging. That's right, you will NOT have to reapply before your evening plans.
Promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC. During the summer months when it's 100 degrees, my eyeshadow and eyeliner would be melted into my eyelid creases halfway thru the day and I was having to constantly fix it. This primer will keep your makeup looking fresh for 24 hours. No eyelid creases ALL day and into the night. Even fell asleep with my makeup on and it was the same in the morning! This has become a permanent staple in my makeup bag." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
20. My all-time desert island holy grail, CeraVe's Skin Renewing night cream, which delivers on hydration and softness and protects your skin's natural barrier. There's a reason people can't stop talking about CeraVe on TikTok!
It has new packaging just FYI if it looks different when you order it!
Promising review: "I’ve been using the same cream for over seven years. Every other cream would break me out, not moisturize my skin enough, or just make me too oily. I got this because I’ve been breaking out and I’ve been trying to find something to calm my skin down. The first night I used this my skin improved!! Redness/bumps reduced, my skin was soft. I have very sensitive, oily, acne prone skin and this did not irritate my face at all. I wake up and my skin is soooo soft. My skin texture has drastically changed in just a week. My makeup applies so smooth and my pores even look better. My new go-to!" —Melody
Get it from Amazon for $15.38.
21. An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part. Just squirt in some makeup brush shampoo (I recommend the EcoTools one!) and water, plug 'er in, press the button, and away the bowl spins, scrubbing your brushes clean while you simply hold them in place!
Promising review: "I now have exceptionally clean makeup brushes! It is small enough to leave on my vanity, and I can easily keep my brushes clean. This is one of those products that will make you wonder how you did without it!" —LJLW
Promising review: "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
22. An octopus-shaped blackhead scrub stick that removes excess sebum and gently exfoliates (it has built-in cellulose beads) to help reduce the appearance of blackheads — while looking seriously adorable. We'd expect nothing less from Tonymoly, TBH!
Promising review: "This works exactly as advertised! I have stubborn black heads on my nose and chin and they started cleaning out almost immediately. I use it every night as a part of my skincare routine and have had no issues." —Brittany Wallo
Promising review: "This little octopus thing is the only thing that has helped my teenage son’s acne. He has deep set blackheads and he’s been using this every night for about a month and they and close to completely gone. It’s astonishing. I don’t understand how this works but IT WORKS." —cmg
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
23. Prescription-strength Differin Retinoid gel, because it's a true classic for a reason. It is designed to promote and "normalize" skin cell turnover, which can help clear existing breakouts, combat inflammation and prevent the actual production of acne in the future.
Promising review: "Has completely transformed my skin. I used to get hormonal acne every single month, I still get it now but far less often and severely. Differin has really made a big difference on my quality of life. I have sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple of times a week and always over a light layer of lotion. When I first started using it, my acne did get worse for about a month, and then magically one day, my skin looked amazing. It's worth a try for sure!" —Britt
Promising review: "I have literally [had] acne since I was in fourth grade. Often I'd get really deep painful cystic acne which left terrible scars, but other times, I'd get tons of smaller pimples that left their mark long after the pimple was gone. It was nonstop, and I tried nearly everything. I’ve had one blemish appear in the five months since I started Differin, and amazingly, it was gone in a day, and didn’t leave a scar!! FYI, I have sensitive, combination skin that likes to alternate between being brittle dry and baby oil slick." —Angelique
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
24. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 cleansing balm, a non-irritating makeup remover formulated with Japanese pearl barley to help brighten skin as it cleanses. Just scoop out a pea-sized amount (it comes with a lil' spatula!) and massage into your skin — it'll become a luxurious oil and gently dissolve allllll the makeup, SPF, dirt, oil, and more, leaving no residue behind *and* not overly stripping skin of moisture.
Use on its own or pair with Juno & Co's reusable makeup remover pad ($8.99)!
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE I'VE MADE THIS YEAR! I was just going to take my mascara off with it and I ended up rubbing it all over my face lol! It’s like all the tiktok reviews etc say…perfect makeup remover. Buy this now and you will throw away what you’ve been using. My face feels so clean." —Michele
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
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
25. Or if you're not a fan of balms: Bioderma micellar water, a perfect addition to your double cleansing routine — it removes allllll your makeup and excess oil without harsh scrubbing or irritating sensitive skin. Now you'll know you've actually removed your sunscreen and makeup before bed — without having to use those aggressive makeup wipes.
I use this micellar water to take off my makeup before cleansing! Everything comes off beautifully and it doesn't feel greasy at all = a double win in my book.
Promising review: My wife probably contributes 500 million a year to the multi-billion dollar face crap industry. She buys a bottle, uses it half-way and buys another bottle of something different. Our porch looks like a Nordstrom's make-up department daily with all the packages we receive. I used this stuff as I do all the face cleaners she buys, and it is absolutely amazing. I do not have acne, but I do get break-outs and this stuff stops it right in it's tracks. I can have a zit in full morph, clean my face with this stuff at night, and when I wake up it's gone. I can honestly say that we are on our third bottle and she agrees. This is the first time in eight years she has bought two bottles of the same product, much less the third. And it's a third of the price of most the stuff she buys. Now I may be able to buy a boat in the near future." —Cory T.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
26. And after your first cleanse, CeraVe's Hydrating Facial Cleanser, which lives up to the CeraVe name, with a blend of super hydrating and gentle ingredients including ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. And don't worry that it doesn't foam up — it'll remove all the dirt, grime, and excess oil from your skin, without depleting the moisture. It's truly my Holy Grail cleanser!
Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this would work at first because the texture is like body lotion, but after a couple of days I could really see the difference both in terms of hydration and acne! It’s such a great face wash! I have struggled with my acne for years and have tried a billion different products and none of them worked like this one. My face looked flawless just two weeks after I used this. I don't do a lot of reviews but I’m glad I bought this and I'm writing this review after having bought it for the third time. Trust me, this is a really good product." —RONGHUI XIE
Get it from Amazon for $14.57+ (available in two sizes).
27. Klairs Midnight Blue Calming cream for targeting any irritation you have. It's recommend for use as a spot treatment, especially for acne, and after extractions, laser treatments, sun exposure, and shaving, but reviewers also love it for reducing redness and calming and soothing rosacea.
Promising review: "I've been looking for years for something to get me through bad rosacea flareups — the kind where your eyes swell and your skin gets flaky for days. This is it. So calming, nourishing. No irritating ingredients. Every Klairs product I've used is super gentle. Won't use anything else ever. Believe I've tried everything from Cerave to La Mer. Nothing works better for me." —Bizzybee
Promising review: "I've finished my first jar and it's HG status for me now. I decided on a whim to get this moisturizer and try something new. My skin is combination and has a bit of redness due to overuse of active ingredients on my skin and some rosacea. I put this on at night and bam - when I woke up in the morning, the usual redness that was on my face was gone. I was blown away. I have never had such clear and even-toned skin. This is a keeper. I'm recommending to my friends. I just wish it came in a larger jar." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.50.
28. NYX Brow Glue, an extreme hold eyebrow gel (up to 16 hours!) to keep your brow hairs in place alllll day long, especially if you like that "laminated" look. Reviewers agree the hold is great, the formula doesn't flake off, and that it also washes off easily!
Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows and throughout the day I would sweat through it and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great and I’m glad i did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby
Get it from Amazon for $8.85 (available in clear, plus four tinted shades).
29. Vanicream, a sensitive skin-friendly moisturizer free of common irritants (and fragrance free!) reviewers love to use on their face *and* body. The included pump dispenser is great for easy application, and avoiding contamination the jar. Plus it has the seal of acceptance from the National Eczema Association!
Promising review: "I have suddenly and inexplicably developed an allergy to fragrance. It is super annoying and I was itchy and bumpy; especially on my face, until I figured out my fragrance full products were likely the culprit. I have Vanicream EVERYTHING at this point. Body wash, lotion, face wash, sunscreen and this moisturizing lotion. All of it is great! I live in Colorado and this heavier moisturizing cream keeps my skin from, well, falling off! It is so dry here! I use the lighter lotion on my face and it is delightful too. If you have super sensitive skin this just might be something that works for you too!" —Adrienne

30. A bottle of Fine'ry Jungle Santal perfume with notes of papyrus wood, oolong tea, and cardamom and housed in a bottle you'll totally want to put on display — who would guess it's from TARGET?! (I love you, Target.) And reviewers say the scent lasts beautifully and even smells like similar high end santal perfumes.
Promising review: "This fragrance is fantastic!! It changes and develops richer woodsy scents on me. Very similar to La Labo Santal 33 but much less expensive... lasts all day too!!" —Eufy cordless vac
Get it from Target for $27.99 (and shop all of the Fine'ry scents here).
31. Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue spray you can spritz right on your face whenever your skin needs a little de-stressing. The three simple ingredients are designed to trigger your skin's immune response to tone down redness, calm irritation, and reduce inflammation.
Promising reviews: "It really works. I found this product on Instagram, read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. My skin looks transformed after 10 days. My maskne is greatly improved, redness is gone, and my skin feels great. I have aging, oily skin that's still acne-prone, and this product not only had not broken me out, but has eliminated the small breakout I was having. I'm in love." —Bonnie
Promising review: "I give 12/10. Holy grail. This tastes like salt and smells like a pool BUT it has calmed my rosacea and healed my cystic acne in a day or two (would normally take weeks). I’m spraying it in my mask to keep maskne away. It’s everything. Only downside is I’m going through it so fast that it’s going to be an expensive habit. But so far it’s worth it." —EssJay
Get it from Tower 28 or from Sephora for $28 (also available in a mini size).
Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business that was founded by Amy Liu and is designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients, and are vegan and cruelty-free.
32. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, a fan-favorite French moisturizer that you could stock up on during your next trip to Paris...or just order straight from Amazon (it's a verified seller!). Reviewers and makeup artists alike swear by this for a super-hydrating base under cosmetics (and bonus: it smells really good too).
Promising review: "I’ve never been so happy about a product. For whatever reason, my makeup has not been staying on my face and would pill or look horrible when I’ve changed nothing about my routine. I rarely use primer because they never do anything for me, but I tried several to try to help. I had heard that makeup artists use this product so I gave it a try, and my makeup is finally back to normal. It looks flawless! I do my makeup every day, so it was a real confidence killer knowing that my makeup looked bad. I have NEVER bought anything that’s made such an impact, but I will for sure be a forever customer with this one. Most amazing solution." —Emma
Get the full size from Amazon for $29 (also available in a mini, one-ounce size for $16).
33. A hydrocolloid nose patch (from pimple patch fan-fave brand Mighty Patch) that targets your whole nose all at once, absorbing gunk and oil from pimples and pores all at once and trapping it so you can toss it right in the trash. Say goodbye to those damaging adhesive nose strips once and for all!
Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin I definitely recommend washing your face first and apply it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas….maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina
Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. You can also shop the original Mighty Patch pimple patches from Amazon for $11.97.
34. A box of skin-lifting, pore-tightening Skin1004 face masks with results that reviewers swear by — not to mention the fact that it's weirdly fun? The mask tightens as it dries on your face, giving you the titular "zombie" effect. Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula.
Promising review: "I've used Hanacure for a while but they are so expensive. I just can't bring myself to buy them anymore. I ran across these and was so excited to try them! It does have a funky smell (reminds me of perm solution) but they worked excellent. My skin was very soft afterwards, and my pores looked way smaller. I see absolutely no difference in the effects of this mask and Hanacure. The only difference is the huge price tag Hanacure carries. Definitely worth the money!" —K. Bell
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $21.
35. Stila's Stay All Day liquid eyeliner with a smudge-free felt tip that makes creating the perfect cat eye simpler than ever with a long-lasting formula that doesn't bleed, crack, or budge (as the name suggests) alllllll day.
Promising review: "Stila is the absolute best liquid eyeliner I have ever tried. It doesn't fade, or crack and stays on through sleeping, or tears. Very very smudge proof and it does not flake AT ALL. It dries quickly and even though it is waterproof (as long as you don't touch it excessively) it stays. It's also easy to clean off at the end of the day. No hard scrubbing to get it off, makeup wipes will take it off easily. It's amazing for creating perfect wings, or drawing artfully for Halloween. It's perfect for everyday from subtle looks, to more creative and wild. I usually use black eyeliner, so I decided to get a more expensive, higher end brand, popular eyeliner. I most was not disappointed. I can use this eyeliner for months at a time (at least doing wings every day or so) without having to repurchase because it has dried out or was empty. Just shake before using each time, and it should last for several months, (2-5) depending on the usage daily and if it is stored/used properly." —Chick
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in eight colors).
36. An exfoliating First Aid Beauty Bump eraser body scrub reviewers with KP (aka keratosis pilaris) swear by to get rid of those tiny red bumps, without slathering on any additional creams or products — just use in the shower instead of your regular soap.
It contains 10% glycolic and lactic acids, and has tiny pumice exfoliants to buff away dead skin for smooooooooooth arms.
Promising review: "Amazing product! I've suffered with KP on my arms for 15 years and nothing helped. This product didn't just help, it completely cleared it away! I noticed a big difference after just one use and a month later of using it two times a week my arms are smooth and I'm no longer embarrassed of them. I'm so excited! This product has changed my life!" —Sherrie Ruiz
Get it from Amazon for $30.
37. An Elizavecca collagen-infused ~protein treatment~ for an intense at-home mask that'll help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair is what I'm saying.
This is the same brand that makes the Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask so many people swear by.
Promising review: "I've been very careful when lightening my hair, but the straw feeling is sometimes inevitable when bleached. THIS PRODUCT IS MAGIC. I've always gone to my hairdresser when coloring so I've been fortunate to have my hair stay pretty nice but this made a world of a difference. My hair is like silk, or soft butter. So incredibly soft and shiny, I feel like a walking hair commercial. My hair feels so moisturized and healthy, just as soft if not softer than my hair was prior to coloring (been highlighting for five years now). Will be buying more before I run out, I will never stop using this product. FYI my natural color is the dark brown at the roots and my hair looks healthier than a natural blonde IMO :) ADD TO YOUR CART YOU WONT REGRET. After you shampoo, load your hair up and do the rest of your shower, heck have it be a long shower bc you deserve it, and rinse out with lukewarm water." —Meghan Davey
Promising review: "I have 4C hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire
Get it from Amazon for $7.48.

38. La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Melt-In Milk sunscreen, which hits all the check boxes: SPF 60, a fragrance-free and fast-absorbing formula, and no white cast! Plus it's water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, just be sure to reapply after.
Reviewers say it's glowy and sits well under makeup too!
Promising review: "I have had three basal cell carcinoma surgeries. My dermatologist recommended this and it is the best sun screen I have ever used. I went kayaking one day and missed spots on the front of my ankles and they were the only spots that were sunburned. It really is the best sun screen ever!!!" —Brenda Laughlin
Promising review: "I do not mind buying this product even though it's expensive as it is absolutely wonderful. I have rosacea and break out with some prior products I used. I have never had a problem with this cream. It really does melt into your face and doesn't leave you feeling as if you have grease on your face. Because of the way it goes onto your skin the tube actually lasts longer than many other products I used." —Carol Becker
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in a larger size for $36.99).
39. A foot filing rasp designed to undo years of callus buildup in mere MINUTES. No waiting for intense creams to do their work, no getting pedicure after pedicure — if you want to see results ASAP, you'll think it's ~grate~.
Promising review: "I have BAD feet. Like genetically bad. I have tried EVERYTHING. I’ve spent an excessive amount of money on foot masks, foot scrubs, pedicures, pumice stones, foot files, etc. Nothing worked. This fixed my feet in five minutes. I was actually in shock. I haven’t had 'soft' feet in years. I literally feel like I have new feet. Best $10 I ever spent." —Hdb
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
40. And to speed things up more, a bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can dissolve that pesky, hard dead skin in just a few minutes — for real, don't leave it on for more than that. Then just rinse, sand with a pumice stone or rasp, and enjoy those silky-smooth feet! If you love Baby Foot but hate waiting, this is a great option.
Promising review: "As many folks have said, have all the things you need (gloves, phone, shower head, etc.) at hand when you apply this freaking miracle. I have heels like a busted can of biscuits, and I don't have much faith in any product. Any trip to the salon is basically worthless for my calluses. So I soaked my feet and dried them. Applied the gel and waited. Rinsed and started using my rasp. I have NEVER seen so much skin come off. And it just kept coming. I rinsed and put lotion on, then slept in thick socks. My feet are so soft! Game changer." —VR
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a two-pack).
41. Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter, which adds a warm glow to your face with soft powder infused with reflective pigments you can apply sparingly or intensely.
Promising review: "This is a great highlighter for its price! I've used Becca's Champagne Pop ($38) in the past, and NO ONE can tell the difference between the two. Its gives a natural looking glow- without the appearance of excess. I use it with both a fan and regular brush. Perfect for both night and day (you'll need to vary the application depending on when you plan to use it, however). Arrived in perfect condition as well." —Ajap Boparai
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in four shades).
42. A satin pillowcase to help maintain hair health even as you sleep, reducing pesky frizz and breakage when compared with regular cotton or other fiber pillowcases — that means longer-lasting blowouts and less damage in the long run.
I own several of these, and they wash up and air dry *so* beautifully — they never get that stiff feeling like some silk pillowcases.
Promising review: "Life changing! I was originally looking for silk pillowcases, but decided to give these a try because they were a better price. I am not disappointed! I have seen a noticeable difference in my hair in the mornings and overall they are so smooth and comfortable to sleep on. I’ve washed them several times and haven’t seen a difference in the quality. I would buy again." —Kate
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes and 22 colors and patterns).
43. Physicians Formula Diamond Dust for a gorgeous shimmer onto your eyelids, cheeks, or anywhere else for a truly ~glowing~ finish — and reviewers say if you're looking for a bit less pigmented version of Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb (which is $42), this is perfect!
Get a side-by-side look at this next to the Fenty Diamond Bomb highlighter on TikTok — the creator applies one to each cheek for comparison!
Promising review: "I love love love my Physicians Formula Diamond Dust mineral powder! I wish I’d known about this before I spent $42 on a Fenty compact that does MORE than I want with the sparkle; this product gives just the right amount of coverage without having it end up all over my face and on my clothes as well. It’s also pretty if you want to bring attention to your collarbones or shoulders. A perfect amount of shimmer with little effort! Try it!! You can thank me later!!" —camielle parent
Get it from Amazon for $12.
44. Living Proof's Full Volume & Texture Spray, which is tbh the best volumizing product on the market; it'll bump up the volume *and* make it last all day. It smells great, lasts and lasts, and leaves hair feeling touchably soft, NOT stiff or crunchy.
45. A TikTok-famous honey-infused Gisou hair oil reviewers with all hair types love for the added moisture and shine — without that greasy, weighed down look and feel. If you haven't incorporated a hair oil into your routine yet, this is your sign.
Promising review: “This hair oil does EVERYTHING it says it does. Not only does it leave a great shine to your hair, but it also doesn’t weight it down at all. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed that my hair is drastically more shiny and less brittle looking. Also, the scent is absolutely divine and it does linger but don’t worry, it is not an overwhelming scent. For reference, I have thick 3b–3c curly hair. P.S., the packaging is super beautiful so this product is a win-win!" —MariahSantiago
Get it from Sephora for $46 (also available in a mini ($25) and value ($87) size).
46. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume, a repairing balm that'll be your new BFF if you've ever dealt with irritated skin. Over-exfoliated your face? Got a peel but went too far? Skin way too dry and nothing is helping? Tried a new mask that did *not* turn out well? This balm has your back.
This cream is formulated with panthenol to soothe rough skin, shea butter to visibly decrease signs of irritation, and glycerin for hydration. And it's free of parabens, fragrance, and lanolin!
Promising review: "I wish I could give this a gazillion stars! My dry and dehydrated face absolutely loves this stuff. It has made my skin look so much more supple and youthful, and it calmed down some weird breakouts on my face that I'd been dealing with for a while. I apply it morning and night. This is the best beauty-related purchase I've made in a good 20 years. I will buy this for as long as I live. The price is so friendly, too! I LOVE THIS!! Miracle product!" —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "I used this after an overzealous microdermabrasion facial left part of my face scraped raw. Seriously, it looked like I had face planted on concrete. And I am a slow healer. After tons of frantic internet research, I stumbled upon this cream. It accelerated the healing process to a few days and without scars or complications. Love the cream." —Ljtrue
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
47. E.l.f. Poreless Putty primer, which is infused with squalene to hydrate, smooth over skin for a seamless finish, and hold onto makeup for all-day staying power. You mayyyy have seen this all over TikTok, and the reviews back up the hype!
Promising review: "I've tried so many, this is a keeper. It’s extremely light. Has a mousse-like texture. Has a light fresh scent. It really preps my skin for foundation. I have dry skin. This looks like skin but NOT flat or dry. Makes foundation look like it should. 👍🏼 Best $5 spent." —J_Kelsea
Promising review: "Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores, but this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy. Even after I took my makeup off my skin felt moisturized which is a hard thing to do with my dry skin. I saw the hype all over social media about this primer and I never believed it, but finally decided to take the plunge and test it out and now I'll never go with out it." —Taylor Kessinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (also available in matte, luminous, and acne-fighting formulations).
48. Schick Silk Touch-Up Multipurpose Tool to not only shape eyebrows and trim/remove facial hairs, but also exfoliate skin as a dermaplane (have you watched as many dermaplane facial vids as I have??) to reveal soft, glowy skin free of those dead skin cells that were just hanging around.
Promising review: "Best beauty product I’ve ever bought! Finally tried this out and changed my life! Absolutely love them! Easy to use and great price. I was worried about it irritating my skin but had no issues." —Shae Saxton
Promising review: "Super easy and satisfying to use, you’re literally scraping all of the peach fuzz and dead skin off your face. The first photo shows all of the stuff that this product took off my face, and the second two photos are the before and after I used this product. My face is glowing and incredibly soft now. Highly recommend." —Jane

Promising review: "Best thing I've brought! Worth the money" —Dmike
Promising review: "I would buy this 10 times over! Super soft on my skin yet very efficient at blending foundation. I used one-third of the amount of product as opposed to a traditional foundation brush or even beauty blender. I love this and recommend it very highly!" —Missy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).
50. Hard as Hoof nail-strengthening cream that'll help prevent splitting, peeling, and cracking *and* conditions cuticles to help your nails grow longer and stronger than ever.
Promising review: "Always looking for the perfect cuticle cream and this is it. No need to look any further. The texture is lovely and this product is the best I’ve ever bought. Look no further, this is the one!! Definite results. Great price." —Evelyn Owens
Promising review: "Love this product! It revived my thin peeling nails in one month! I’m a crafter. I make my living at home making my creations. My hands get messy so often I wash my hands all the time. And I’m always peeling labels and stickers of of things. My nails could no longer peel back any stickers or they wold split like thin paper. This product revived my poor nails in one month! Now my nails are not very only strong but also longer and even whiter!! It also helped my cuticles! I applied twice a day for about two weeks, then once a day for the next two weeks. Now I apply it every other day and my nails are stronger then ever! LOVE this product! It’s smooth and creamy type of product. Very thick which is nice! Has a light tropical coconut smell which I love. Beautiful jar. Overall A+ product! If your nails are weak and peeling GET THIS NOW! You won’t regret it!!" —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $7.94.
51. Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant (all of your favorite skincare TikTokers swear by it) that'll unclog pores, banishe dead skin cells, and even out skin tone. It even works on my very allergy-prone sensitive skin. A whopping 70 reviewers used the word "miracle."
I use this exfoliator a few times a week (I follow a skin cycling routine) and I'm in loooove. The formula isn't too hard with my sensitive skin (and I've been known to over-react to other anti-acne products with salicylic acid in them) but it helps keep my skin soft, clear, and glowy. It's the only product that has *ever* kept the pores on my nose noncongested. Put away the harsh blackhead strips and try this instead!
Promising review: "Best purchase ever! I bought this item when I ran out of the very expensive toner I generally use. Boy, have I been wasting money. This lotion is magnificent!!! I decided to use it as a toner and I am so happy I made that decision. This is the best toner I have ever used! It leaves my skin smooth, looking radiant, and youthful. And although I rarely ever have problems with my skin; with this product, I never will have problems. Run, don't walk to get this item." —Michel-Ange Chevry
Promising review: "This stuff should be called a miracle in a bottle. When I use it on my (pretty dry) skin, it transforms it from congested, irritated, and bright red to calm, clear, and glowing overnight. Most of the people reviewing this are using it incorrectly. It's an acid exfoliator. That means you should use it once a week, twice at the most (if your skin is oily and needs a lot of work.) Also, it should never be used during the daytime. BHA, or salicylic acid, interacts terribly with the sun. If you absolutely must put it on in the morning, follow it up with heavy SPF, but I wouldn't do it. This stuff is like anything else — it only works if you know how to do it properly." —Audrey Brock
Get it from Amazon for $34.
52. A Revlon one-step drying brush (now with an upgraded motor) with a unique oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots, without having to juggle a brush and blow-dryer.
Promising review: "Excellent brush. I bought it because my shoulder was hurt and I couldn't use the regular hair dryer because I had to use both hands. The best purchase I've ever made." —Luz Erika
Promising review: "I never write product reviews, but this brush is amazing! I have curly/wavy hair that is past my shoulders, but very fine. If I don't blow dry and straighten it right away it gets very curly and frizzy and has always been a pain to blow-dry and flat iron. I have never been very good at blow-drying with a round brush and have always relied on the flat iron to get my hair smooth after drying. With this brush, I can let my hair air dry for a bit, and then use this, and I don't need to use the flat iron at all. My hair looks so full and bouncy that several people have asked me if I just got my hair done. Honestly, with this brush, it looks better than when my hairdresser blow dries! It is so easy to use and takes way less time to do than blow drying. I haven't tried from wet wet, but today I only let it dry a bit and then used the brush and it was still fast. My only complaint is that the handle is a little big and hard to hold on to, but that is fairly minor. Also, I was worried about it getting tangled in my hair, but so far I have been able to wrap my hair around the brush and not have any issues getting the brush out. I love it!" —Bostonchick
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in three colors).
While some reviewers with curl types 4a–c like the oval brush, if you're looking for something to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step *paddle* brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind! You can get it from Amazon for $44.99. Reviewers also say it's the best thing they've ever bought.
53. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, which over *200,000* 5-star reviewers swear by for dramatic length and volume *without* clumps, thanks to the flake- and gob-free formula and cone-shaped brush.
Promising review: "My favorite find of 2022. This is the best mascara I’ve tried! Great coverage, smudge proof and last all day long. I always get compliments on my lashes when I wear this (I don’t wear it daily because I’m lazy). Beautiful color on this and I love the application wand. Will definitely be buying again!" —Strickley Sara
Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte ($23) for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E. Miller

Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using Q-tips dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. A must-buy product!!" —Katherine
