    In addition to receiving a 4.5-star rating, this exfoliant is under $15 and also a top skincare pick on TikTok

    Promising review: "I had seen several reviews on TikTok about this product and I decided to try it for myself and see how good it was as they said. I had pores and pimples around my cheeks, I've tried different products but none worked as good as this one. Every night before going to bed, I apply it to my face along with a moisturizer. And wow, I am not kidding, the next day you can already see how the redness is fading away and any recent pimples start to get smaller, as well as my pores on my cheek area! I had not seen a difference that fast with other popular products, but this one did. I highly recommend, it really does improves your skin and it looks more healthy and glowing. In my opinion 10/10 :)" —Mariel Garza

    Promising review: "I stopped coloring my hair a year and three months ago. Now that my hair is fully grey, my hair stylist recommended I use this instead of another popular brand purple shampoo I was using. This shampoo really brightens grey hair and takes any yellow out after the first time using. You are supposed to use it one to two times a week. My stylist recommended using once a week and mixing some into regular shampoo once a week. I am very pleased with the results. Makes my hair soft and shiny. Highly recommend this shampoo." —Lori J

    Promising review: "I’ve been applying the powder with a sponge, gives amazing coverage. Covers up blemishes / scarring pretty well; the photos are only the powder (editor's note: See photos above). I really did not notice much transfer to my mask with this powder. Lasted during the day and didn’t fade even when it was hot. Overall affordable powder option, one I can just throw on and go. Pretty satisfied overall. 😊" —Gabby

    Promising review: "I'm a snob when it comes to makeup, and I usually avoid drugstore makeup because of my sensitive skin. However, I find most prestige-brand concealers to be really heavy and dry, so I decided to trust the reviews on this product and try it out. And all I can say is it's amazing! Great coverage that I can sheer out when I need, or build up when I want more coverage. The applicator allows me to spot conceal any blemishes and looks natural. And best of all, no heavy feeling and no caking/creasing even with all-day wear. Now my makeup routine is just this concealer and a MAC setting powder! Highly recommend, now my mom, sister, and I all swear by it, and are saving a lot of money as well!" —Sami Ramesh

    Get it from Amazon for $8.70 (available in 18 shades).

    Promising review: "I always found when taking off my mascara my lashes are hard, and the mascara flakes off when I take it off using makeup remover wipes. However, ever since I started using primer, I no longer had this problem. This primer is easy to apply; it's very soft and it's a white color, which I like because you actually can see where on your lashes an extension is happening. This primer also makes my lashes longer, and prevents them from clumping. HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —the queen

    Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (also available in a two-pack). 

    12. And Essence Lash Princess mascara enhances your beautiful lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part, the formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it has the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5 AND it has over 238,000 5-star ratings!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd swears by this mascara and said: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. Plus, it's cruelty-free!" Peep more deets in her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

    Promising review: "Amazing volume and length and for a fantastic price. I highly recommend it if you want eyelashes that look like you could be wearing fake ones! Good staying power as well." —Melissa

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    13. Tower 28 SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation both helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays and provides buildable coverage (with a natural finish). It's perfect for all types of skin — yes, even sensitive skin — and evens out skin tones. A 2-in-1? Yes please!

    It's recommended you use this tinted sunscreen as the last step of your skincare routine *or* the first step when applying makeup.

    Former BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell has this hair treatment and adores it! Read more details in her full Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review (it's #1).

    Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-size dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long, fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

    Get it from Amazon for $7.12.

    15. Teeth-whitening pens help to eliminate stains, and it only takes 30 seconds! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers. P.S. if you use this pen every day for a week, your teeth can get up to eight shades whiter.

    Promising review: "These pens are awesome! They are very easy to use and come with good instructions. I haven’t even used it 10 times yet and I’m already seeing results, so I’m excited to see it keep getting better!! The flavor is a little bit unpleasant but not bad at all and definitely worth it. I also haven’t noticed it making my teeth sensitive at all, which I was a little worried about since I already have sensitive teeth, so I’m glad it’s not affecting that!" —Sami Froemke

    16. Arctic Fox semi-permanent hair dye allows you to color your hair without the commitment. This all-natural formula contains no harsh chemicals or drying alcohols, keeping your hair strong and healthy-looking.

    The reviewer above used the shade "Ritual." For best results, they recommend to use it on pre-lightened hair but it'll still leave a subtle tint on darker hair too! 

    Promising review: "I LOVE this dye. I used as directed on the bottle and it lasted MONTHS. I now have Virgin Pink and it is just as bright as the day I got it nearly TWO months ago. I am so impressed that these vegan, affordable products have beaten out so many salon products. Again, I followed the directions on the bottle *over bleached hair* and wash two-three times a week with Garnier Whole Blends for color protection (in a red bottle). I love Arctic Fox not just for their quality and longevity of the color, but also because it is so easy to use. Just wear some gloves and a towel around your neck and your house should stay clean. Plus it smells like grape bubblegum." —Kelly Sanford

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and 26 colors).

    17. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream uses all-natural and vegan ingredients to help reduce dark circles. Reviewers have claimed that this eye cream has made their bags and fine lines ~vanish~.

    Promising review: "I’m a working mom of two toddlers and I am 34-years-old. I get maybe 5 1/2 hrs of sleep a night (on a good day) and I always have puffy eyes and this has been a life changer. I noticed an almost immediate change around my eyes since using this eye cream. I was looking for a more affordable eye cream and found this highly rated one and decided to try it!!! A little of this goes a long way." —Sara Nich

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four sizes).

    18. Blume Meltdown Acne Oil nourishes skin instead of drying it out. Use it before moisturizing or mix it in for a full-face coverage. Its rosehip, blue tansy, tamanu, and black cumin seed formula helps to fight current pimples, reduce acne scars, and even helps to prevent future breakouts.

    Blume is a woman-founded business known for their eco-friendly skincare and period-care products. From wellness boxes to cute heat packs, Blume offers soothing self-care essentials that'll help you relax at home.

    Promising review: "This is the only oil that has cleared my acne. I get more cystic-type acne and I am in my 70s. My skin is basically oily and I always have something brewing under my skin. I put a drop or two of oil and overnight it either goes away or is much reduced in morning. A game changer! " —Blume Customer

    Get it from Blume for $28+ (available in two sizes) or Amazon for $27.95.

    19. Garnier Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream nourishes your mane with its argan oil formula and tames frizzy, dry hair. Just massage it in for up to 72 hours of results! 

    reviewer with same hair labeled
    reviewer with curled hair labeled

    This formula, which is designed for curly, wavy, and straight hair types, can be used up to three times per week.

    Promising review: "I love this leave-in conditioner for several reasons beside the fact that it works. I have an oily scalp, so coating it in the shower with a product that is basically lotion for your hair is not a true 'clean' for me. I can keep the Sleek & Shine away from my scalp and still have plenty on my hair. The body and shine is great. I have long, fine silver hair and my hairstylist always comments on what great shape my ends are in even after a long time between cuts. A bottle lasts a long time and you can't beat the price. I highly recommend this product for all hair types." —Paula J

    Get it from Amazon for $3.99.

    20. Zombie hydrating face masks give you an at-home facial by helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, clear small breakouts, and deeply hydrate your skin. Don't be frightened by its name — the mask cracks in areas that need moisture and are rough in areas that lack elasticity.

    Promising review: "I was absolutely amazed after using this mask! It made my skin so soft! My pores were barely there, this mask tightened my skin and left it baby smooth! This was only after one use! My makeup went on beautifully and lasted longer. After several uses I can say the tightening effect has really left my skin firmer. The mask made my skin feel slightly itchy as it tightened. However, it did subside and it didn’t irritate my face. I am loving how soft my skin is. And yes it is still making my pores look none existent! Love it, would highly recommend. 💕💕" —Sarah

    21. Keracolor Color-Depositing Conditioner infuses color into your hair with every condition. It'll def elongate the time in between hair salon appointments because you'll be able to replenish your dye job on your own!

    Promising review: "I recently took the red hair plunge, and I was prepared to deal with the constant upkeep because red hair fades so quickly, but then I found this, and it’s unbelievably good! I got Copper, and it’s perfect on my 6rc hair. I use it as a deep conditioner like once a week, and the color stays so vibrant. I don’t have to use freezing water every time I wash my hair, thank God! I tried using it like the directions said, but I felt like my hair didn’t get clean, so I don’t use it like a shampoo, but the color, smell, and results are amazing, and I highly recommend it." —beautypot

    Get it from Amazon for $20.90 (available in 22 colors).

    22. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller soaks up any excess oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used on a full face of makeup and is reusable so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers!

    It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again!

    Promising review: "As I have oily skin that typically gets worse in the warm weather, I usually buy blotting papers to remove excess oil in my T-zone. Those work fine, but THIS product is absolutely ingenious! Not only does it work beautifully without disturbing my makeup, it’s reusable, easy to clean, and most importantly to me, it is so much more eco-friendly! I highly recommend this to all my oily-skinned beauties out there!" —GodivaRn

    Get it from Amazon for $12.84.

    23. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm soothes your dry and irritated skin with its vitamin B5 and shea butter formula. You can use it on any necessary areas of your body and it's formulated for all skin types — you can even use it on babies! 

    Promising review: "I had a terrible allergic reaction to tea tree oil about two weeks ago. Tiny bumps all over my face along with bunches of breakouts and my normally oily skin was so dry — the strongest moisturizers I had wouldn’t keep it moisturized for long. I tried this stuff, and OVERNIGHT basically all the bumps and my breakouts are gone. I have incredibly sensitive skin (clearly), and this stuff feels so soothing on my face and leaves it looking bright. HIGHLY recommend to anyone with sensitive, combination skin. And I’m acne-prone, and this stuff doesn’t break me out. Holy grail, people!" —SH

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    24. Mighty Patches tackle those pesky pimples *white*head on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus it hides pimples and prevents from you from picking at them! It works so well you'll forget that there was even a pimple there.

    Promising review: "I purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" —Slade Salisbury

    25. Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence soothes irritated skin and helps to prevent breakouts with its glycolic acid, allantoin, and of course, snail mucin formula.  Plus, it revives dehydrated skin and helps reduce dullness. It's a cult favorite for a reason — it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! 

    Promising review: "This is holy grail for me! It's unscented, which I love, and goes on so smooth. I'm a little backwards with my application, being that after toner or exfoliation I put on a few drops of jojoba oil, and then the essence. I found that by doing this, the products absorb better. Since using this in combination with the Korean skincare method, my face has completely cleared up, with only the occasional zit. Honestly, it's my favorite product and soothes my skin, especially after exfoliating. Highly recommended!" —Anjelic

    Get it from Amazon for $16.90.

    26. Denman Hair Brush detangles and defines wavy or curly hair (it's best for 2c–4c curls) so you can style it however you want! The staggered pins make sure there's no catch or drag for a pain-free experience.

    Here's how to use the brush: Brush it through wet hair in an outward motion, and twist it to shape curls. You can also use it while blow-drying your hair to make the styling process a little easier.

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "This is the most amazing brush I’ve ever owned. I have thick curly hair, and I feel like it’s able to reach and detangle everything. My daughter has 4c hair; this works really well on her hair and detangles easily. I also really love that this brush can be taken apart and cleaned because my brushes fill with hair really fast, and in all honesty, it was always easier to just get a new brush than sit there trying to clean them. I highly recommend this brush, especially if you have thick and/or curly hair." —ABC

    27. Jergens self-tanning drops give you that sun-kissed look when you mix a few drops with your favorite facial moisturizer or body lotion. Customize the intensity with the amount of drops you use for a natural-looking tan without the streaks. 

    Promising review: "This stuff works great! I am very fair-skinned and have always had problems with sunless tanners looking too orange on me. I applied in the afternoon and didn’t notice any change in color. I was becoming a bit skeptical, as it says within hours. The next morning, however, I woke up to a perfect tan glow. Not too dark, not orange, just right for a fair-skinned person looking to have a little bit of color without having to spend hours in the sun. I can not comment on how long the color lasts, as this is my first application, but I am very happy with my results and highly recommend." —Stephanie

    Promising review: "I'm low maintenance when it comes to hair, and love the look of a lived-in curl/wave. I wasn't sure this thing could live up to all the hype- but with minimal effort, my hair looked great in about 15 minutes! Love the volume it gave my fine, pin straight hair. Don't do what I did and keep it on your wishlist for a year while you struggle to achieve the beachy wave with your curling iron — just buy it! SO happy I did!" —Jessica

    29. Stila One-Step Color-Correcting Facial Serum brightens and moisturizes your skin while giving you color correction with its blend of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Its triple helix formula works to counteract redness, dark circles, and sallowness.

    The reviewer above used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn!

    Promising review: "I think this is a wonderful product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who fights facial redness. I sometimes wear it alone, but under cream foundation and light powder it works even better. I was totally amazed at how much it evened out my skin tone! And honestly I didn't think it could be done." —UGdg

    30. CND SolarOil renews your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the vitamin E and jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.

    Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

    Promising review: "I was BLOWN AWAY by this product! I have dealt with calloused, cracked heels for as long as I can remember. Some things have worked better than others in the past, but I’ve been in a rut of bad feet for the past several months. The foot rasp/file/scraper that I had was not even coming close to doing the job, and it is a similar style to this one, so I wasn’t getting my hopes up for this one. Based on the reviews and before/after pics, I had to give it a shot though! I gave it a go before getting in the shower and was just so impressed with how easy to use it was and how incredibly it worked. It took less than 15 minutes between both feet and VERY LITTLE pressure/effort was required. This $11 product gave me better results than most professional pedicures I’ve had!" Khall

    33. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel softens your rock hard skin so you can easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice or rasp to scrub away 🧽.

    Promising review: "I’m shocked. This stuff really works! It’s the only thing I have found that worked this good and this fast. This was easy. I soaked my feet, then put this on my heels for 10 minutes, then used my pumice and almost all my dead skin was gone. Amazing. And I had really bad heels." —Ilovebling

    34. AND! Soft Touch Foot Mask peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and repairs cracked heels. Just leave the masks on for about an hour and within 7–14 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible.

    Promising review: "I've worked retail for almost 30 years and it takes a toll on your feet. I recently had a deep crack develop in my heel and it hurt. After weeks of pampering my feet, putting vaseline on them and sleeping in socks every night, and wearing only sneakers to work, I got the crack healed. I really needed a pedicure but I was afraid of the salon doing the cheese grater thing on my freshly mended heel. I opted for this instead to hopefully shed some of the hardened skin before I get a spring pedicure. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. After one application, my feet have all of this beautiful smooth skin! It feels so nice to get rid of all of that old, hard skin. I'm going to give it one more week and then I will go get a fresh pedicure. I can't wait. Seriously, just buy this. It's amazing and so easy. Plus, you get two applications. I'm saving the second one and will do that one in a couple of months." —Beth
