    30 Skincare Products Reviewers Say Started Working In Two Weeks Or Less

    Because you want results, and you want them now.

    1. A skin-repairing body oil chock-full of natural oils good for reducing the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and so much more!

    2. A fan-favorite pore-cleansing clay mask that creates a powerful (yet gentle) exfoliant sure to rid your skin of any impurities — especially when paired with apple cider vinegar.

    Many reviewers also use this as a hair mask!

    Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best skincare product I have ever used. I don’t say that lightly as I am a self-confessed beauty junky and cystic acne sufferer. But holy hell, this mask literally changed my life in less than a week. I've tried everything, but this mask is a godsend. I apply it every single day for exactly 10 minutes before showering. Within three days, my cysts have dried up completely and flattened (which would’ve taken at least two weeks normally). No new pimples have emerged and my skin is younger looking, less spotty, and much softer." —loveorbit

    Promising review: "Do it. That's it. Just all people need to try this. My skin has never felt cleaner. I actually dry off after the shower, apply this to face, chest, and back (acne-prone areas) and exfoliate all. After two weeks of use, I saw a HUGE difference in stubborn areas with little bumps on my chest and blackhead bumps on my cheeks that seem to never go away." —Feli

    12. A skin-brightening facial scrub made with detoxifying sea kelp and cleansing clay and lemon peel. Buh-bye, dead skin cells!

    Promising review: "This is one of the best things I have ever used on my face. In the heat and cold, my face gets really red and flaky, especially around the nose and mouth. It's really embarrassing for me. Wearing masks for the past two years has made it worse (but at least now I can hide it out in public). I started using zinc soap and it helped with the redness, but my face was still dull and flaky. This removed most of my flaky skin in A WEEK! Guys, I have tried everything for the past 15 years!! And this helped in a week. Plus my face is glowing!! Buy this! Just shut up and keep taking my $$$." —Lschen

    Promising review: "I've struggled with stubborn body acne for as long as I can remember, and I've bought pretty much every product out there, tried every cream and supplement etc. On top of that, my skin is also annoyingly sensitive, so most products for moderate to severe acne are too abrasive and drying. I stumbled upon this after doing a quick search on Amazon for a gentle benzoyl peroxide wash. This cleanser is absolutely amazing. It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and moisturized. The consistency of the product is more like a cleansing milk than a face/body wash. My skin never feels over-dried or irritated, even in the winter. And best of all, it cleared up my stubborn body acne almost immediately. I started seeing results by the end of the first week. I would highly recommend this product to anyone struggling with stubborn acne or who has sensitive skin." —Sabrina

    Promising review: "I'd never bought a hair inhibitor before and was skeptical. To my surprise, from the first application it actually worked. I used it for under my chin; typically after tweezing my hair grows back in two days. After tweezing and using this product one time, I haven't had to tweeze in 1.5 weeks and hope I won't need to soon again. I apply most days twice a day. Would definitely recommend! Gets 5 stars from me! I am very happy with the results!" —Anonymous A.

    23. A rejuvenating eye cream with all-natural and vegan ingredients that absorb quickly into the skin to start the process of brightening and lifting your under-eye area. Perpetual late nights got nothing on this cream!

    Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and within two and a half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's nongreasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open doorknobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth, and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.

    28. Pore-tightening face masks because their eight-in-one treatment will leave your skin visibly hydrated, bright, and lifted. You just need to get through the 15 minutes of looking a little like a zombie. But it's worth it!

    Promising review: "I LOVE these masks. I've been using them about two times a week and even after the very first application I saw immediate results when I rinsed my face. My skin seemed happier, glowing, smoother. It was a bit freaky, TBH. I was looking my face up and down in the mirror like it was pulling a trick on me, but no, it really provided immediate results, which let's be honest — all cosmetic companies try to claim that, but you very rarely ever see immediate results in actual life." —A
