1. Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner invigorates and cleanses while also reducing redness, dullness, and breakouts. It will also make you smell like a fresh bouquet of roses, but at less than $10 is much cheaper than the real thing (and more helpful, too!).
2. InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum partners with hyaluronic acid and plant stem cells to help reduce sun spots, discoloration, redness, hyper-pigmentation, and dark spots without drying you out. Paired with a good moisturizer, InstaNatural serum is the bomb. I use this every night, and the dropper makes me feel like a beauty scientist.
3. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream hydrates your parched skin for a full 24 hours. Glacial glycoprotein helps hydrate and reduce water loss, and squalane (derived from olives) helps to strengthen skin's moisture barrier. All you olive-haters are gonna have to deal.
4. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water gently cleanses *and* removes makeup, making your nighttime routine so much faster. You ARE taking off your makeup every night, right...?
5. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask has vacuumed out almost every pore across the universe. Whether you use it for spot treatments or as a whole mask, it will help smooth skin, reduce the appearance of pores, and even take a shot at cystic acne!
6. Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips wouldn't even THINK about leaving a blackhead behind. Slap these babies on for a one way ticket to cleaner, clearer skin.
7. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is lauded by reviewers with even the most sensitive of skin, thanks to its fragrance-free and mega-gentle formula. It also comes in a big 'ol tub, which you'll be happy about once you realize you want to use it forever and ever.
8. Healing Solutions Tea Tree Essential Oil combats rosacea, redness, discoloration, and breakouts one powerful spot treatment at a time. Or if you need, go for the whole face! It's your skin, don't let me boss you about what to do with it.
9. Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb blows most other moisturizers out of the ~water~. It's the skin equivalent of drinking a ton of H2O before bed to avoid a hangover after a night out, and I could not recommend it more highly.
10. Glossier Solution chemically exfoliates using AHA, BHA, and PHA acids to fight breakouts, reduce acne, unclog pores, exfoliate, and diminish dark spots and discoloration. It also works for *all* skin types, making it a verified cult fave.
11. Clinique's three-step skincare regimen has been tempting you from behind mall beauty counters for years. It comes with a mild facial soap, clarifying lotion, and moisturizing gel. This is a great option for people new to skincare, as it has everything you need to achieve a healthy glow!
12. Avarelle pimple patches *sticks* it to your breakouts using tea tree oil, calendula oil and cica. It's simple pimple math: go to bed +1 sticker and wake up with -1 whitehead.
13. Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask has foamed its way into the hearts of beauty-lovers by lifting dirt and oil out of pores while detoxing using green tea, pomegranate, and charcoal powder extract. You'll be left with taught, clean skin and some excellent selfies.
14. St. Ives Renewing Collagen and Elastin Moisturizer conditions skin and uses safflower seed oil to get you looking bright and fresh-faced. It's also dermatologist-tested, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, meaning it *won't* clog your precious pores.
15. Lush's Birth of Venus jelly mask treats your face like the gorgeous painting it is. Sea water, lavender oil, and a fresh rose infusion combine to calm redness while reinvigorating skin and making it feel ~alive~. The fun jelly formula only adds to the fun!
16. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream calms irritated skin with a winning combination of colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, and allantoin. If you have eczema, rashes, or other skin conditions, this just may be your holy grail.
17. La Roche-Posay cream cleanser maintains your skin's natural protective barrier and pH while removing impurities and makeup. Honestly, so nice and thoughtful of it to do that, tysm cleanser.
18. Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Mask works all night long to hydrate your skin with juicy watermelon extract. It also gently resurfaces and removes dead skin cells using AHA to reveal all that bright, glowing skin you've been hiding.
19. Mario Badescu facial sprays double up to meet all of your luxurious skincare needs. The aloe, cucumber, and green tea mist invigorates skin, and the aloe, herbs, and rosewater mist hydrates. Ahhhh, my skin feels better just writing that.
20. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is a makeup primer with SPF 40 whose red algae-, frankincense-, and meadowfoam seed-packed formula will protect your skin from harmful UV rays without ruining your ~lewk~. Sun protection is the ultimate form of skincare, don't @ me.
21. Mikacare's rose quartz roller and gua sha set will ~rock~ your world by helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles, improve circulation, and even skin tone. Try putting these products in the fridge before use for maximum skin-soothing pleasure.
22. Foreo Luna Mini 2 vibrates as it scrubs away makeup, oil, and dirt. During its 60 second program, it buzzes and lights up, telling you to move to a different portion of your face. A friend, indeed!
