1. A vegan and cruelty-free skin-tightening Sol de Janeiro body cream made with coconut and açai oil. Its caffeine-rich formula stimulates circulation for smoother-looking skin.
Promising review: "I could NOT believe how quickly I saw results after starting to use this on my dear old booty. The improvement was so noticeable I've also started to use it on my thighs as well, just to see if I can tighten up any of my cellulite-y bits there, too. But my butt looks amazing!" –Sara Fauth
Get it from Amazon for $22 (also available in a larger size).
2. Hydrocolloid acne patches if you need help preventing yourself from picking/popping your pimples, which could lead to scarring. These ultra-thin, translucent patches will absorb pimple pus (yuck) to reveal calmer-looking skin (yay).
Promising review: “I wasn't sure if this was going to hold up to its promise...but it did! I used this on a massive zit growing on my nose, making me look like Rudolph, and the first night it took down the swelling a bit and lessened the redness. Day 2 it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decide to purchase this, nothing will." —Cassee Colson
Get 36 patches from Amazon for $10.77.
3. And some overnight hydrocolloid nose patches designed to target pimples, pores, and oil for clearer-looking skin. Plus, it'll be weirdly satisfying to peel this off and see all the gunk that was hiding in your pores.
Promising review: "I use these nose patches on my actual nose, my forehead, and my chin because I have very oily skin and WHEW do they draw out the gross gunk in my pores. My skin feels AMAZING after I use them!!" —Lillie Blanton
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98.
4. A clinical-strength Secret deodorant because it'll provide 72 hours of sweat and odor protection. Stress, heat, and activity are no match for this antiperspirant.
Promising review: "I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work and this stuff works! I don’t have to reapply. This doesn’t leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" —Zindarella
Get it from Amazon for $7.79.
5. And some unscented and paraben-free SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes that can help control excessive sweating for up to seven days per use! Staying dry just got a little easier.
These are strong so you should spot test them first! Each box lasts two months.
Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of 20 and 30).
6. An acne-fighting face and body wash for anyone with stubborn skin. Formulated using 10% benzoyl peroxide, this wash is gentle on skin but harsh on acne!
Promising review: "For years I have struggled with really embarrassing back acne. I was a field hockey goalie in high school (gross, sweaty pads on my body) and played lacrosse in college (constant sweating under the hot Florida sun). Even after college, my back acne continued and left embarrassing scars. Now I’m 25 and still workout a lot, so my persisting back acne is SO embarrassing. All I ever wanted to do was wear a low open back dress and feel comfortable. And unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance so going to the dermatologist was out of the picture. About to give up and get laser treatment for my back, I ran across this wash and decided to give it a try. And WOW. I actually wish I had taken a before picture, but I think I was too embarrassed by my back to do so. Now I NEVER get back breakouts and it’s even healed some of my scarring! I’m so happy I found this product!! I wish I had found it years ago!" —joanna youssef
Get it from Amazon for $24.92 (also available in a 4% benzoyl peroxide formula).
7. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion made with tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts. You'll truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby's bottom.
Promising review: "This is legit AF. I don’t normally write reviews but I went on here needing people to know this stuff works! I don’t even use it like directed cause I’m too busy but my butt has gone from a ‘mehhh’ to ‘damnnn’ with this cream within 3 weeks! I’ve struggled legit all my life and I have found the miracle cream! 😘🍑" —Abigail
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
8. An exfoliating glove that'll help you bring the spa experience home. Easily lift away dead skin to reveal soft and glowy skin.
Promising review: "These exfoliating gloves have been a game-changer in my body care routine! The gloves are not abrasive so they do not leave your skin feeling raw and tender. They get all the dead skin off and even deodorant residue. It’s amazing to see all the dead skin roll off of your body when you use it! I use it about twice to three times a week and I will never look back. My skin has never felt or looked this good!" —Ranyah
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in a pack of two).
9. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads with extra cushioning so there's no discomfort while they work their magic.
Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first I thought it was a small callus but as months went by it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to removed and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for few days before reapplying a strip and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey N.
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29 (available in larger packs).
10. A skin-smoothing polar bear hydrating eye stick for reducing under-eye circles and puffiness. Its formula is enriched with glacial waters to help improve your skin's elasticity. Get ready to feel refreshed!
11. A dermatologist-recommended antiperspirant hand cream with a non-greasy and non-irritating formula that can help soothe skin and reduce sweat. Buh-bye clammy hands!
Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shook a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment up with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple of weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now and it is working. AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZO
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in packs of two and three).
12. A pack of cold sore healing patches containing hydrocolloid to help your skin heal faster. These discreet patches create a moist environment that can help relieve pain, reduce blistering, and prevent scabbing.
Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had, and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time and I put them on before bed last night. It’s been less than 36 hours and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill
Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $12.57.
13. A niacinimide face serum with a honey-like texture that'll leave your skin with a subtle glow! It also contains propolis extract, which is an antioxidant that helps soothe skin.
Promising review: "I started using this about a month ago and have noticed such a difference in my skin as soon as the first few days. I was having issues with my skin looking dull whenever I wasn’t wearing makeup, now my skin is noticeably brighter and I feel a lot more confident with a bare face. It hasn’t made a noticeable difference with my hyperpigmentation, but it has helped even out my skin tone all over my face. This is a new staple in my skincare routine!" —Nadhia Vega
Get it from Amazon for $16.90.
14. An RoC retinol night cream for help reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while also lifting and smoothing skin. Got dull and dry skin? Well, this might just be the answer to your prayers!
Promising review: "I got this after intensive research on the best creams out there to fight wrinkles. My skin was pretty blah at night, and I noticed that I had a lot of darkness under my eyes, which brought out the wrinkle cracks that started developing recently. I use these nightly. After washing with only water, I apply a retinoid and then use the creams for my face and eyes as directed. Immediately, I feel like my skin is soft and glowing. After a couple of months of this, I also noticed the area under my eyes are appreciably lighter, and the cracks I was concerned about are nearly unnoticeable. I consider this the staple of my night regime and will continue to use them nightly. I highly recommend." —koffeebrown
Get it from Amazon for $18.20.
15. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that'll help fade dark spots and fine lines.
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving onto K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable but it was gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc
Get it from Amazon for $16.55.
16. And an all-in-one face-repairing cream with hyaluronic acid from the same company because it'll moisturize, hydrate, repair, AND soothe irritated skin. This also contains snail mucin, which aids in exfoliation.
Promising review: "I don’t know how I was living without this stuff! It makes my skin feel so much better! It’s also helped with my hormonal breakouts! I put it in on every morning and night. It sinks in quickly. It has a very interesting texture to it and has no scent. Great for sensitive skin! I will always repurchase! It’s now a daily staple!" —Niki
Get it from Amazon for $30.
17. A gentle, plant-based face serum whose blend of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil can help even skin tone and reveal your inner radiance.
Promising review: "I am so pleased with how this is working. Not only has my hyperpigmentation and discoloration completely subsided, but my skin feels so hydrated and supple! My skin has been put through the wringer these past three months because I started taking spironolactone and using a topical retinoid to help with my acne. My skin was extremely dry and riddled with dark spots. But after just a few weeks of using this serum, it looks and feels brand new! It has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine." —Selena Sandoval
Get it from Amazon for $19.77+ (available in two sizes).
18. A vegan facial scrub to exfoliate and brighten skin with sea kelp, lemon peel, and French green clay. It's made with all skin types in mind.
Promising review: "My new skincare staple! I was pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of this product! I get flaky skin around my nose and chin during the harsh Wisconsin winters and I need something with a little grit to smooth things out. I chose this product based on the reasonable price and excellent reviews. Although the smell (very earthy/sea plant-y) turned me off initially, I have gotten used to it. I use this product every 2–3 days and it keeps those flakes at bay and helps give my skin a more even, healthy appearance. I tend toward redness, and this is not overly harsh on my skin. Combine it with a great serum and moisturizer and BAM — glowing skin!" —expatnat
Get it from Amazon for $9.89.
19. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. Forget those disposable oil-blotting sheets and get instant matte skin ASAP!
Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
20. A K-beauty rice extract toner because it creates a protective barrier over your skin that'll help prevent water loss, eliminate dead skin cells, and provide moisture. It'll even help balance and refine skin texture. If you're dealing with flaky, dull, or rough skin, try adding this toner to your skincare routine!
21. A fragrance-free La Roche-Posay multipurpose healing cream if you're often looking for relief from dry and cracked skin on your face, lips, and body. This non-greasy cream contains shea butter and glycerin, and it might just become your new go-to!
Promising review: "This product was created by wizards in a magical realm. Guard it like gold. Whisper sweet nothings to it every time you open your medicine cabinet. In return it will restore the moisture barrier on your skin when you ever exfoliate and keep your skin baby-ass smooth during the dry days of winter." —So And So
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
22. Or an all-purpose skin cream formulated with beeswax, olive oil, and honey to soothe skin while moisturizing it. You can use this cream to help heal burns, fade scars, restore cracked heels, and so much more!
Egyptian Magic is a small skincare business using all natural ingredients in their products.
Promising reviews: "A staple in my nightly face care regimen. It has done wonders for my skin." —Shonnie V
"Love this product. I use it at bedtime. It feels like giving your skin a big drink of water. Definitely will keep buying." —Anna
Get it from Egyptian Magic on Amazon for $16.
23. A skin spatula with four modes that'll offer you a deeper clean and help remove blackheads, oil, and other dirt chilling beneath your skin. It even comes with scrubber attachments so you can experience a spa-like massage at home.
Promising review: "After my last pregnancy, I started developing cystic acne; my skin was congested with oil, whiteheads, blackheads, you name it. All those years of desperately doing my own extractions, trying every mask, cleanser, device, my skin was left scarred and discolored. I hated the texture of my skin. I impulsively bought this and tried it the day it was delivered. I was amazed at how well it extracted all the gunk I could and couldn't see lurking under my skin. I use it every night to cleanse, then apply my serum and moisturizer. I took the first set of photos on 5/27 and still didn't love how my skin looked under makeup. I could tell it was doing something though so I stuck with it. Three days later, I woke up in shock! Took the second set of photos wearing the same makeup (but needed much less). I am finally happy with the way my skin looks and posted a selfie without a filter for the first time since I can remember! Just try it! (All photos were taken in natural light. Must've gotten some cloud cover in the last one. No filters on ANY of them! I'm still in shock!)" —Marlena H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
24. A set of multipurpose dermaplaning razors if you're looking to exfoliate your skin while getting rid of peach fuzz. These are also perfect for shaping your brows when you don't have the time to individually pluck each hair.
Promising review: "I suppose it's my hearty German peasant ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least a two to three times week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." —Tara D.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.87.
25. Differin acne-treatment gel, a water-based and unscented topical retinoid designed to reach deep under your skin to help clear breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. It may also help reduce the risk of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Many reviewers say it improved their skin's texture and tone with consistent use.
Since retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, it's important to remember to apply sunscreen during the day. It's also a good idea to use this gel at night (rather than in the morning) to potentially prevent further discomfort.
Promising review: "I don't have too much of an issue with acne, however I do have hormonal breakouts once a month, with a few pimples that break through every now and then. I really purchased because it is a retinoid that you don't have to go to the doctor for and I wanted it to help with some sun damage on my face and fine lines. I've only been using this for a month, but I can honestly say that within the first week I could see a change in my skin. I have absolutely not had one breakout of any kind and my skin is so smooth. I sincerely believe that the discoloration and hyperpigmentation on my skin is beginning to fade." —Catattack
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two packaging styles and in three sizes).
26. A proactive invisible acne spot treatment that not only goes on clear but can also be worn under makeup. Because it contains lemon oil, orange oil, grapefruit oil, salicylic acid, and tea tree oil, this treatment won't dry your skin out as it works to heal it.
Promising review: "I love how moisturizing this cream is while also being exceptionally successful at minimizing or completely clearing up my non-cystic pimples and acne. It smells great too if you love tea tree. It’s like gold for my acne. I can’t recommend it enough!" —Sierra Robinson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
27. A maximum-strength healing lotion containing 1% hydrocortisone so those with eczema can get some instant itch relief.
It's even got the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance!
Promising review: "I get a rough patchy spot on my upper back. I've tried using all types of creams and nothing worked. I got this stuff Saturday afternoon and by Monday morning not only was the itching and redness gone but you can barely notice that it was even there in the first place. Best $8 I've ever spent, and I was really close to making a doctors appointment and paying 10 times the amount for a visit fee and prescription costs." —Roc James
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
28. A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm with SPF 25 that'll help heal your chapped lips as it protects them! It's also rich with antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea.
Promising review: "This is truly a miracle product that provides intense moisture every time that I wear it. Truly a great, affordable product for dry lips!" —Elizabeth W
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six scents).
29. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars formulated with collagen, retinol, and vitamin C to help hydrate and even out your skin. It's also got turmeric, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and vitamin E to help revitalize and cleanse.
Promising review: "I’m big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I’ve tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn’t take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" —Daff Laff
Get them from Amazon for $11.99.
30. A fast-working calming cream for skin irritated by acne, sun exposure, or shaving.
Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I’ve had little success with anything topical that will provide relief to my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon my face is almost completely healed. The cream prevented peeling, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I’m completely amazed! I’ve applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It’s got to be witchcraft because not even the different RXs I’ve tried over the years have produced these results. *I will note there was a very mild sting that lasted a couple of seconds when initially applying but that was likely due to the raw skin. It was completely bearable." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in two sizes).
