Promising review: "Oh…my god….🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks. <3" —Kichi

Price: $12.99 (also available in a 16-count and in two other styles)

Promising reviews: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, I was still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light; you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love that you can use it on your eyes and lips!! Game changer for me, will definitely try the others!" —Kristy 

"I love this. It makes dry skin glow, and you can also use it for many things, before applying makeup or before bedtime to wake up with a moisturizing look. I have dermatitis, and this is the only product that didn’t irritate my skin or make it look red." —Amy

Price: $14.99+ (also available in two other formulas)

Promising review: "This stuff is like liquid gold for my aging skin! I honestly don't care whether it's skin rolling off or product pilling that, in turn, grabs onto dead skin cells. However it works, the point is, IT WORKS. My skin is softer, smoother, and brighter." —Tony&Shellz

Price: $12.75 (also available in four other formulations)

Promising review: "In just a month, my skin was glowing, soft, and blackheads went way down! My skin soaks up all the hydration from this product and works well with other products I use! The design is nice and comes with a tweezers-like tool to remove the pads without contamination. I use it every night before my serum and moisturizer! Helped enhance the effectiveness of my other products! I have sensitive acne-prone combination skin :)." —Jasmine almaguer

Price: $14.90 (also available in four other formulations)

Promising reviews: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes, and now fine lines and crow 's-feet. While this doesn’t completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn’t feel cakey, or like there’s a ton of product on." —K. Grant 

Promising review: "My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May

Promising review: "I was recommended this product by someone at a party who had beautiful skin. So, I went ahead and bought it to try it out. I really, really like it. I stopped using it when I ran out and didn't buy another bottle right away. My skin could tell the difference. This really helps keep your skin moisturized without it feeling greasy. It feels a little sticky going on, but it absorbs nicely into the skin, and that feeling doesn't last very long. When I took that short break from using this product, my skin didn't feel as moisturized, and I felt like it was missing that glow. There's no smell to it either, which is a big plus. It's lightweight and high quality, and I'm looking forward to seeing more results after this round of use. You don't need a whole lot of product either, just a couple of pumps is good for the whole face." —M&M

Price: $14.63+ (also available in a two-pack with a mini retinol cream sample)

Promising review: "Buf-Pufs are great! They remove dead skin and leave your face looking fresh. Nice thickness, great texture, not scratchy, and a good value for the money" —Goldie

Promising review: "Exfoliates like nothing I have ever used, no cleansers or lotions, etc. It is kind of uncomfortable, but it is scraping all the dead skin and bumps away. It seems very durable and has a nice grip on the band at the top of the glove to keep it on. Pretty much one size fits all. Buy it!" —Audrey

Price: $8.79+ (available in seven colors and in two-packs)

Promising review: "This stuff really works! I've been using this and a few other things, and this serum doesn't burn my skin — for people with sensitive skin like me! You can soak your skin with this, and your face will feel so refreshed! I'll be buying more bottles soon once I'm done. It's been a few months, and I still have half the bottle! Worth it!" —Valerie Arteaga-Herrera

Promising reviews: "I don't need makeup remover wipes or a separate eye makeup remover because this product does the job for all of it! I've tried different products in the past, but this is the only one that has truly satisfied me. I'm extremely happy that I discovered this product!" —Perla Cuevas

"I don’t usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER !!!!! Worked flawlessly after the first try, and I can actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it’s lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it into your skin for 5 to 10 minutes, and you can see the magic. Will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT !!!!!" —Vince

Promising review: "Perfect for dry skin! Just the thing for those who live in a dry climate. It hydrates and soothes skin and doesn’t have a strong scent." —Louise

Price: $9.60+ (available in two sizes and in packs of two)

Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft, moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s neither too thin nor too thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice

Price: $16.99 (also available in two-pack)

Promising review: "I love this Abib Airy Sunstick! It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a white cast, and feels super light on the skin. The stick format makes it so easy to apply and reapply throughout the day, perfect for on-the-go use. It doesn’t mess up my makeup and gives great sun protection. My skin feels soft and not greasy at all. Definitely one of the best sunscreen sticks I’ve tried!" —Katherine

Price: $10.62+ (also available in a glowy formula)

Promising review: "My whole life, I have never been able to reapply sunscreen to my face without my skin feeling like it was on fire. Not only does this sunscreen work better than any other sunscreen that I have used for my face, but I am also able to reapply with no issues. My husband prefers this for his face over other brands as well. Will absolutely purchase again!" —SMarie13

Promising review: "This cream is amazing! I have extremely dry skin. After a shower, I oil my whole body, but even that wasn’t enough, and yes, I drink plenty of water with sea salt. I added this cream after my oils, and omg, my skin is like a baby's. I was getting a weird texture on my neck like chicken skin, and now it’s gone because of this cream. I know, TMI. My skin all over is so, so soft, it’s like a miracle. I even started putting it on my face. It is pricey, but with these results, I’d get a part-time job if I had to. I’m good with fragrances, so that doesn’t bother me. I tried the Palmer equivalent, and although it’s good, it’s not as magical as this one. I’m now a forever customer." —Nina S

Price: $19.20+ (available in three sizes, refill pods, and two-packs)

Promising reviews: "My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It’s REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don’t need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it’s totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment, but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I’ve recommended it to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." —Mostly Maven

"I've used this product twice now, and I've definitely got it on subscription going forward. This stuff smells great and WORKS really well! The skin on my entire foot peeled off, even the callused parts, in literal sheets — gross and amazing." —hootie huey

Promising review: "This is a literal savior for rough, dry feet and cracked heels. Unlike sheet masks that take days to start peeling, this formula gives you baby-soft skin in just a few minutes. It has a refreshing, pleasant scent and effortlessly transforms coarse texture into smooth skin. Use it with an exfoliating mitt or foot file to boost the smoothing effect even further. If you want your feet sandal-ready without waiting, this spray is worth every single penny!" —Nikki Wilson

Promising reviews: "In just a few weeks, I noticed a real difference in my face. The laugh lines around my eyes are still there, but not as noticeable, and the smoothness of my skin, especially on my forehead and cheeks, is remarkable." —Lela

"What really stands out is the radiant glow this serum imparts. My skin looks brighter, fresher, and noticeably more even-toned. Any signs of dullness or fatigue are replaced by a luminous, healthy-looking complexion. Even stubborn dark spots have started to fade, a testament to the potency of this wonderful product. Despite the high concentration of vitamin C, the formula is remarkably gentle. I've experienced no irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types like mine. Hyaluronic acid, another key component, ensures my skin stays hydrated and smooth, enhancing the overall results of the serum." —Reinaldo O.

Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive, but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores; it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using it, and I was left with a moisturized glow. I then had my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well for everyone on the first try, and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa

"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMae

Price: $9.90+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Price: $12.99+ (available in two scents and a pack of two)

Promising review: "This product helped clear my skin after I struggled with many other products. I was struggling with what I thought was milia on my forehead. I have tried exfoliating with all sorts of different products. I read a review on Reddit and thought I would give it a try. So glad I did. I put this on and saw results the next day. I honestly love how well this product worked for me." —Nicole

Promising review: "I am a skincare snob. I spend way too much money on products. But over the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to find a new moisturizer with SPF that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need something that can help my dry skin, protect from the sun, and not irritate my sensitive skin. I was skeptical about this product, never having heard of the brand, but I gave it a try. I am SO thrilled with the results. This moisturizer is BETTER than the $55 alternative I have been using. It moisturizes like a dream. It doesn’t pill. And my sensitive skin loves it. I am THRILLED with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!" —R. Berry

Promising review: "I absolutely love these pimple patches! They are a game changer when it comes to treating breakouts. The patches stick well to my skin and are virtually invisible, so I can wear them during the day without feeling self-conscious. They work quickly to reduce the size and redness of pimples, often overnight, and help prevent me from picking at my skin. The patches are gentle, don’t irritate my skin, and are super easy to remove. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin since I started using them, and they’ve become a staple in my skincare routine. If you’re dealing with breakouts, I highly recommend these pimple patches — they’re effective, discreet, and really help speed up the healing process!" —Ellie Stuart

Promising review: "The patches are adorable and they also work really well. They help reduce the appearance of pimples, protect the skin, and make breakouts feel much easier to manage." —Ursula M

Price: $19.78+ (available in four colors and clear)

Promising review: "Cremo’s body wash deserves all the stars! It lathers beautifully — thick, creamy, and rich — and instantly makes your shower feel like a high-end spa experience. The scents are next-level. Each one smells like an elegant perfume you’d expect from a luxury brand, not something at this price point. I’ve tried several of their scents, and honestly, they all smell incredible. No weird chemical undertones, just a clean, sophisticated fragrance that actually lasts. Plus, it leaves your skin feeling so soft and nourished. You can tell it’s made with high-quality ingredients that actually do something for your skin." —Amy Predelus 

Promising review: "Seeing is believing. I took a chance because it was made by The Ordinary, and I’m telling you this stuff works like a miracle. I put all of my skincare on, and then I put this on in areas where I have lines or sunken in areas, and I can tell a huge difference." —Christina Knapp

Promising review: "My go-to bronzer. I mix this with my favorite face sunscreen, and I'm good to go. I have been using this for years for the perfect glow." —Alexis Coureen

Promising review: "I’ve been really enjoying this! It leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean, and smooth without feeling overly dry. I also love the cooling sensation and the way it helps neutralize body odor. The scent is refreshing, and the pump makes it super easy to use in the shower. Definitely a body wash I would recommend! 💙✨" —Lousemana Accilien

Promising review: "I bought this product to take on our vacation. I am so glad I did. I got burned on my lower legs and the tops of my feet. I thought I had put enough sunscreen on. I didn't. That night, I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on, I had relief. OMG, I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D.S. 

Promising review: "Best shower towel I’ve ever had. I have purchased several times now and haven’t looked back. Really allows you to wash your whole body. Removes dead skin and leaves you feeling fresh. Worth the price because they last longer than standard loofahs. Definitely recommend!" —Justice

Price: $14.81 (available in five colors)

Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side." —Jordan Caprigno

Price: $11.99 (also available in multipacks)

Promising review: "Literally cried as I watched the redness decrease. I have had redness on my face my whole life and have been so self-conscious. It has changed my life, and will be forever part of my skincare routine!" —Paige

Promising review: "Obsessed that this has SPF and makes me feel so pretty! The shimmer is beautiful. It's not greasy. Love it so much!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $23.99 (available in rose gold shimmer or platinum shimmer)

Promising review: "I first bought this from my dermatologist's office as they highly recommended it. It is great for sensitive skin and and very moisturizing. I have rosacea and wear it every day. It isn't too thick or heavy and doesn't clog your pores. I use makeup over it sometimes, and it lies well under makeup." —Di P.

Promising review: "Love this jelly cream.. Skin is softer. The texture is very cool and refreshing. Unique — love this brand! Try it, you will like it!" —GINA

Promising review: "This shower gel smells absolutely amazing! 😍 The scent is fresh, clean, and lasts on my skin long after I get out of the shower. It lathers really well, leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed, and a little goes a long way. I’ve been using it regularly, and I’m honestly obsessed. I’ll definitely be buying it again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a shower gel that smells incredible!" —Thalia Witter

Price: $9.59+ (available in five scents in and packs of one, two, or 12)

Promising review: "This cleanser is exactly what it claims to be. It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and never stripped. The texture is smooth, the scent is light, and it rinses off easily without any residue. I’ve noticed clearer, calmer skin after just a few uses. Definitely a great cleanser and worth every penny." —Iamjustjen

Promising review: "Ok, I’ve only been using this for three days, but it’s a keeper. I’ll be 61 in a few weeks, and this is so good. My skin looks calm, extremely smooth, and hydrated. Like, NOTICEABLY! My skin looks and feels so bouncy." —Staarbuck65
