You'll be left wondering if this skin solution for ingrown hairs is actually a potion brewed by a witch.
1. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo with over 36,000 5-star ratings? 🤩 Yes, please. And for under $15 — a total steal. The star ingredient, biotin, can help make your hair look fuller, while rosemary and coconut oils swoop in to nourish and moisturize your scalp.

Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three scents and four sizes).
2. Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray so your hard work can last you all day and night — whether you're just "coffee shop and thrifting" or sweating it up at a concert. Just shake it, spray it, and continue to be surprised at how well your look has held up every time you pass a reflective surface.
Promising review: "This product was not lying when they picked the name to be All Nighter because truly my makeup lasts ALL NIGHT. I have not changed anything in my routine besides this, and my makeup looks and stays flawless every night. I live in Texas and I use this before going out in the 110-degree heat and the minute I step outside I start to sweat, but let me tell you my makeup does not move!! Price is good and there is not really a scent to this so it's perfect too. Does not make your face look 'wet' either. The bottle itself lasts a long time. 10/10!!" — Meg Smith
Get the full size from Amazon for $36 (also available in a travel size).
3. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, a cult-favorite spot treatment that can shrink breakouts overnight. Just dip a cotton swab straight into the bottle (no shaking!), dot it on any painful, unwanted visitors, and let the calamine, sulfur, and salicylic acid combo take care of business while you kick back and relax.
It's very important not to shake or mix the solution!
Promising review:"I've had cystic/hormonal acne since I had my son two years ago. The results from this product literally floored me. I tend to get a new cluster of zits or cysts every two weeks, but since I began treatment with this, I have not had one. It's truly ridiculous. I would honestly recommend this to anyone with recurring acne and cystic acne to try. You have to moisturize, but for me, having really dry and flaky skin for a day or two was entirely worth it, because nothing else has given me the results I have now.
"My flare-ups have stopped, and it dried up my smaller cysts. The bottles are small but will last; I'm over 12 applications in and not a dent. I consider this breaking out the big guns, but my hormones wanted to go to war on my face, so this is the artillery to fight back ;) so happy with this, worth every penny. You may only be able to do this once a week. I could handle this three days a week and no more." — A. Bauer
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in glass or plastic bottle, and in packs with drying patches).
4. A hydrating argan oil hair mask if you've been wanting to restore some life to your dried-out and damaged strands. This paraben-free mask works wonders for people of all different hair types, helping to repair your hair and leaving it soft, shiny, and healthy looking.
Arvazallia is a small business that specializes in hair repair and hydration products.
Promising review: "My hair was very dull, no shine at all. I put this on dry hair, waited about 30 minutes (after this first time I'll do the recommended time), rinsed, and was amazed. Soft, shiny hair after one use. Nothing mends the amount of broken ends I had, but they were less noticeable. I snipped off a couple of inches this morning and I feel human again. No more looking like a plague victim, having people make the sign of the cross and averting their eyes when they see me. This is a miracle in a jar." — nettlehart
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
5. A Clinique tinted lip balm in shade Black Honey that's super moisturizing (without feeling sticky) and gives a gorgeous "your lips but better" tint that looks good on literally *every* skin tone. Reviewers adore the sheer, buildable nature of the shade: You can swipe it on for a light, natural wash of color or layer it for a richer, deeper look!
Amazon
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves this lip balm: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about 'expensive' beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did, and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart."
Get it from Amazon for $18.75.
6. Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream, which reviewers have used on their feet, face, hands, cuticles, lips, and pretty much anywhere on their body needing some extra moisture. It's made with natural, hydrating ingredients such as olive oil, beeswax, honey, and royal jelly that help keep your skin dewy even in the driest of climates. What makes life easier than a product you can use ~everywhere~?
Amazon
Egyptian Magic is the small business that created this wonderful cream!
Promising review: "Just got this yesterday and I am already in love! In Colorado, the air is dry more often than not, and in the winter it can be brutal on my skin. Washed my face and applied this just before bed and it really packs a punch! It does take a few minutes to absorb, but t his morning my skin was bright and it had diminished some of the blemishes on my face. I have combination skin, am prone to breakouts and blackheads and even though this feels a little oily when you first put it on, it doesn't feel like it clogs my pores at all. Gives my skin exactly what it needs without feeling sticky or heavy like the Vanicream I was previously using. Love the ingredients, something I can feel good about putting on my skin!" — Amanda S.
Get a 2-ounce jar from Amazon for $18.61.
7. The ever-popular Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence with a *deeply* hydrating formula that can help you glow like Moo Deng, calm redness/irritation, and even help reduce the appearance of fine lines. Reviewers love how soft and supple it makes their skin feel. Just apply after cleansing and toning, and you'll understand why this stuff has earned over 60,000 5-star ratings!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Emma says, "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it for a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I thought this was just an overhyped item, but within the first two days, I saw a noticeable difference in the glow and texture of my face. After a week, even more so. I already have a pretty solid skincare routine, so I didn't think this would make the big impact it did. I highly recommend it, and it will definitely be a staple of my routine from now on." — andy
Get it from Amazon for $19.59 (available in a two-pack).
8. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration cleansing balm that literally melts away every trace of makeup (yes, even waterproof mascara!) without stripping your skin. It's packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help leave your face feeling soft, hydrated, and so smooth — and reviewers with sensitive skin give it their seal of approval!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "E.l.f. has really stepped up their game lately! I was using Farmacy Makeup Meltaway, and I loved it, but it was very expensive. I decided to try the E.l.f brand because of the price, and it's the exact same thing! For $11, you can't go wrong with this product. I wear waterproof mascara, and this makes removing it super easy! My face feels super clean and hydrated after using this product. The product lasts for a good amount of time, too." — Haley McCaulley
Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in three sizes).
9. A tub of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream with an ah-mazing, delicious scent that reviewers love; plus, it contains caffeine-rich guarana extract, which can help firm and tighten your skin. It left one reviewer proclaiming, "THIS STUFF HAS CHANGED MY WORLD" — so you know it's gotta be good.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic!
Promising review:"LOVE, LOVE IT! Whole body!!! I get compliments from everyone about how well I smell, and I love the softness of my skin. Please don't change anything or discontinue. Love, love it!!!!" — Debra Sargent
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes; refills also available).
10. A Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder to lock in your makeup for up to 16 hours while smoothing and blurring your skin, leaving a soft matte finish that looks flawless in person and in photos (no flashback!). Plus, it absorbs oil and keeps shine in check all day long, so you can stay looking fresh without worrying about touch-ups.
Promising reviews: " I am professional makeup artist. I have tried many powders through the years I always come back to Laura. I love how it feels it glides so smoothly on the skin it doesn't cake it fades right into the skin just looks so fabulous. It highlights gives you that natural glow it doesn't set into the lines on your face it just really makes you look really natural. I love it and it's great for every skin tone." — Medea Whosendorfe
"Perfect for setting liquid foundation and concealers! It makes a huge difference to the finished look and helps the makeup to stay in place for hours on end (I work 12+ hour shifts). A little bit of this product goes a long way. I use the Laura Mercier velour puff to apply but you can use a brush too. I highly recommend." — Jamie Rose Yuerek
Get it from Amazon for $43 (available in four shades and a bundle with their stick eyeshadow).
11. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream made with glycerin, which helps attract moisture to the skin, and squalane, which helps lock in said moisture for up to 72 hours. Reviewers with sensitive skin love that it's lightweight and fragrance-free, with many using this as both a day and night cream!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "It's nongreasy, sits well under makeup, is heavy enough for a night cream and light enough for a day cream. It's perfect and makes me want to cry tears of JOY that I found such a great moisturizer. I've noticed my skin is sensitive to certain moisturizers and ingredients (I'm getting older, almost 40). Sensitive skin people, this is your holy grail!!!! Kiehls is silicone-free and water-based — BUY IT!!! Thank me later." — Nina R
Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in four sizes).
12. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution that soothes and treats pesky ingrown hairs and irritated skin, leaving you bump-free and smooth after a waxing or shaving session. Just apply it to any problem areas, let it do its thing, and your once-itchy skin will thank you!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: " I was skeptical about buying this. I shaved my legs, which I had not done so in years (usually trim), and I was literally covered in razor bumps. It was bad. I applied this product, and within 30 minutes, the intense itching went away. I applied it at night, and when I woke up, the bumps had reduced. I'm on my second day of following the directions of use, and it's working. The razor bumps are there, but A LOT LESS! Recommend this stuff." — Alvaro I Pereira
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
13. A bottle of Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray because we are heading into the rainy season and humidity levels will be higher than Snoop Dogg. Just spritz it on damp (not wet) hair, and then ~activate~ by blow-drying with tension to achieve a smooth, glossy finish that actually lasts through rain, sweat, or whatever life throws your way.
For best results, Color Wow recommends using this after every 3–4 shampoos!
This is the OG formula recommended for straight, wavy, or curly hair that gets frizzy. There's also the Extra Strength Dream Coat recommended for extremely dry, dehydrated, or extremely curly/coily hair; and the Dream Coat for Curly Hair recommended for wavy or curly hair as it'll leave you with bouncy, crunch-free curls.
Check out a TikTok of the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray in action.
Promising review: "I rarely — I don't think ever — rave about a hair product, but this is an exception. I got it to smooth out the frizzies in my hair, and it performed above and beyond my expectations. I'm not a fan of the price, but I'll keep buying it because it's worth it. I highly recommend this product!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
14. A reviewer-fave Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer so you can easily achieve a salon-level blowout right at home. It works on most hair types and textures and gets your hair camera ready in half the time since it simultaneously dries andstyles. The amazing results do not match the minimal effort.
Check out this TikTok of the Revlon in action!
The oval brush design smooths the hair and the round edges create volume — leaving you with a salon-worthy blowout at home. It also has two heat and speed settings and a cool option, and it's designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it working for them.
Promising review:"I've had my eye on a Dyson Airwrap, but given the cost, I figured I'd try this while I save up. This thing is fantastic. I have waist length hair that's naturally straight, but gets frizzy when damp. I've had salon blowouts that have left my hair looking great, but I simply can't manage a round brush without it getting tangled in my hair. This device has been a game changer. It works best if you air dry for a while before you use it, then use it to finish your style. My hair miraculously doesn't get snarled in it, and it leaves my hair looking like I've had it professionally styled. I love it, and I'm no longer interested in blowing $500 on a Dyson. Highly recommend!" — Ilsa
Get the 2.0 model from Amazon for $31.39 (available in eight styles, including an older model).
15. A Hanalei sugar lip scrub made with Hawaiian cane sugar to exfoliate, plus kukui oil and shea butter to moisturize and rejuvenate your lips. Say goodbye to chapped, flaky lips and hello to a soft, hydrated pout that'll last longer than 15 minutes.
www.amazon.com
Tip: To keep things hygienic (and ramp up the exfoliation), you could use a lip brush to scoop out and use the scrub on your lips.
Promising review: "This sugar scrub is a 10/10. I added this to my bed time routine and it has already made a tremendous impact on my lips. I'll wash my face with a gentle face wash cleanser, then apply this sugar scrub after. I'll take a slightly damp face cloth and rub it away so I don't remove the moisturizing aspect. My lips feel smoother and softer after 10 days consistent use. I feel refreshed and reset before I rest. I highly recommend this product. Also, I have sensitive skin, and this scrub has not irritated me. Add this to your routine asap!" — Laney87
Get it from Amazon for $18.80.
16. A Neutrogena moisturizing face sunscreen that combines the lightweight feel of a serum with the power of broad-spectrum SPF 60, giving you serious sun defense without the greasy feeling. Plus, it creates a smooth, flawless base for your foundation while nourishing and hydrating your skin with vitamin E!
See it in action on TikTok.
Promising review:"I have been searching for a sunscreen like this for a long time. I really dislike putting anything heavy on my face and prefer a gel-like consistency. I am a big fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid serum and the texture of this sunscreen feels pretty close to that. I have tried much more expensive 'serum' sunscreens and find this one my favorite and for a much better price point." — JHoch
Get it from Amazon for $14.18.
17. Or an Innisfree daily UV defense sunscreen with SPF 36 that gives your skin a nice, glowing finish without leaving any white cast. It also has green tea and sunflower seed oil for a boost of hydration and moisture, along with cica to calm irritation — everything your skin needs for a day in the sun! It's safe to say this K-beauty staple is much more nourishing than your average sunscreen.
Promising reviews:" My holy grail SPF. The scent is mild, and the sunscreen goes on my skin like a dream. I've tried maybe 20 other sunscreens (American, Korean, and Japanese), and this one is my top pick for everyday wear." — Symphanie Park
"I LOVE this product, I swear by it and I'm pretty sure this is my 3rd or 4th time purchasing it! As a woman of color, finding a sunscreen that didn't give me a white cast / ashy finish was very hard, so I am so glad I've come across this product ! It goes on the skin so smoothly. I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen and have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I seriously don't leave the house without this; I keep it on me at all times! It gives you a glow and makes skin feel so much softer. I also feel like some of my dark spots have faded due to this product! Also I have VERY sensitive skin, so everything breaks me out, but this has not!" — Sierra Keyes
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes and two variety packs).
18. Paula's Choice 2% BHA salicylic acid exfoliant that gets deep into your pores to dissolve buildup and remove dead skin — leaving your face feeling baby soft. It works for most skin types, especially those prone to acne or excess oil. Just apply it after cleansing, and you might notice your skin looking brighter and more even without using any harsh scrubs.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I used this on my face first. It took a little while to dry but afterward my usually bumpy skin was so, so soft. So I decided to try it on my bumpy arms caused by keratosis pilaris. HOLY MOLY it made my arms smooth too!!! Seriously just after ONE application of using this my skin is so much smoother. I feel like I've found a miracle product. Also, this is probably the longest review I've written. This is by far the best product I've EVER found!" — HollyM
Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes and a bundle with both).
19. A K18 leave-in hair mask for repairing your dry, chemically treated, and damaged hair, restoring it to its natural glory in just four minutes. And once your hair is all healed — it'll be ready to be dyed again 😁 (jk).
Just towel-dry shampooed hair (it's recommended to skip conditioning), then work the product evenly into your hair, one pump at a time, from ends to roots.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman is a fan of this: "I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every six to eight weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. And it turns out the rest of the world loves it, too, because it was sold out at Sephora the first time I tried to buy it. I eventually snagged a mini bottle and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier." You can check out her full K18 review for more deets!
Promising review: "I have 4a hair with the nape of my neck being 3c. I also have thin, fine hair so it does not take much to detangle. The K-18 mask has done wonders with refreshing my coils and bringing it back to life. After 4 washes, it's bouncy, shiny, and softer. I will say, what also helps is using quality haircare products as well. I started using Kenra professionals curl line and also used their triple repair bond shampoo and that helps as well." — Devon Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes).
20. Or an Elizavecca hair treatment to add that extra oomph and softness to your hair when it's been feeling a bit lackluster. This stuff is packed with collagen, ceramide 3, and other nourishing ingredients that'll help get you silky soft strands even Legolas would be jealous of. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex *).
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB

21. A bottle of Bio-Oil that'll become your go-to serum for reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and everything in between. It's packed with vitamin E and a blend of nourishing oils so your skin can feel soft and moisturized — plus, many reviewers say it smells great!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After just about three weeks of use, I've seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don't even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn't exacerbate my already oily complexion." — L T C
Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes).
22. A fragrance-free CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser made to gently remove dirt without stripping away natural oils, so your face doesn't feel super tight and dry after using it. This stuff is formulated with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin that help retain moisture and strengthen your skin's barrier.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Amazing skincare cleanser. I have dry skin and this is probably the best cleanser I've had in my fight against acne. I would definitely recommend this product since it's so hydrating and makes your face feel fresh!" — Neil
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and a refill).
23. A pack of Mighty Patch hydrocolloid acne patches that help absorb pus and reduce the lifespan of annoying, painful pimples. These are super thin and blend so well, you might even forget you're wearing one. Plus, they're a great barrier to keep you from picking at your face (and making the blemish worse).
Promising review:"I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" — Kiara Galloway
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of 72).
24. A benzene-free I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo for when you have back-to-back events and can't get a hair wash day in. Just tap it onto your scalp, and it'll absorb the excess grease and mattify your roots so you can make it that extra day before washing. This stuff is GREAT to have while traveling, especially in places with hard water that can damage your hair; plus, it's not a liquid or aerosol, which = TSA-friendly.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action.
Promising review: "I've had the best results from this dry shampoo than any other. It's a small container, but it lasts a very long time because a little really does go a long way! I also do this the night before so the powdery look goes away by morning and it's more absorbed. You can also add a light oil to your ends and work it up if it feels too dry. There's no scent either, and it is very convenient for travel! This is the only thing that still makes my hair look 'clean' on the no hair wash days!" — Alice
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six colors and packs of two).
25. A very cute octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away any excess sebum and other goop that's built up from the day. It's the perfect tool to help achieve and maintain soft, smooth skin without any real work.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I was quite skeptical of all the hype but decided to try it out anyway. This stuff actually works! Two weeks in and my stubborn blackheads are almost gone, and my skin is much clearer. Holy grail!" — Tmuk
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
26. An eye cream made with vitamins C + E, rosehip seed oil, and hibiscus extract to help naturally brighten and firm sensitive under-eye skin. It helps reduce dark circles and puffy eyes so you can feel more refreshed. And reviewers love how it doesn't leave behind a greasy residue!
LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.

Get it from Amazon for $13.31+ (available in two sizes).
27. A pack of Clean Skin Club Clean Towels that are softest, most hygienic way to dry off your skin. Each towel is single-use, so you're never reusing the same bacteria-ridden cloth (that could be contributing to your breakouts), and they're made from 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly materials, so you can feel good about your skin and the planet. *Plus* they're so soft and fluffy, you won't be able to wait 'til the next time you get to wash your face!

Promising review:"I received my package in excellent condition. No rips or a dirty box! And I'm elated to say that after using for two weeks my skin has never looked better. My skin is less reactive, I'm noticing less breakouts, and my skin also feels softer. My skincare routine has not changed and I have been using the same products for the last three months, so I do believe the recent change in my skin was due to these towels, using them to not only dry my skin post-skincare regimen (both AM/PM) but also to remove my makeup as well!! I'm in love and will continue ordering. 🥰" — Kharys G.
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95 (available in six pack sizes).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have dealt with this hereditary skin condition my whole life. Aside from some harsh and expensive prescription creams, nothing ever seemed to help very much. I was also skeptical when I felt the product on my fingers at first, worried it would tear up my sensitive skin — but it absolutely did not. Skin was so soft and so much smoother after just one use. Will definitely be buying more of this. Really stunned that it exceeded my expectations. Like a miracle product for my bumpy upper arms and calves. 10/10 absolutely recommend!" — Jessica Campbell
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in two sizes).
29. A cuticle oil formulated with sweet almond, jojoba, vitamin E, and rice bran oils to hydrate and nourish your cuticles while strengthening your nails.

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." — Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $19.74 (available in three pack styles).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This moisturizer went viral on TikTok for how well it works and how incredible it smells!!
Promising review:"Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." — Jaquelin g.
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in seven scents and five pack sizes).
32. A polar bear hydrating eye stick that cools and smooths to help lessen dark circles.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles are still there, but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend it to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." — HeartsUnfold

To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder

35. A tube of the bestselling, $5 (!) Essence mascara to get you the same results as those premium mascaras that go for $30+. It helps deliver dramatic length and volume without the need for false lashes. And the wand is really great for getting an even application that doesn't clump.

Emma says, "Hello, that is my face above because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews, and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic or continue applying for longer lashes each time."
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5, you couldn't ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." — Kd

36. *Plus* their Volume Booster lash primer that creates a moisturizing shield for mascara to cling to, so not only does it give you the ultimate long, fluttery lashes, but it helps protect them too — and even provides a lil' conditioning treatment thanks to mango butter and acai oil in the formula.

Just be sure to wait 30 seconds after application to layer your mascara to get the full effect!
Promising review:"Saw this primer recommended on TikToks and they were right. Let it dry before mascara application, and it does wonders. Adds volume! Stays all day." — JC

37. An antimicrobial facial spray with hypochlorous acid, which helps target acne-causing bacteria, calm irritated skin, and speed up skin healing — thank you skincare scientists. 🙏 Plus, reviewers say it's helped out a lot with reducing their breakouts. Your skin might've just met its new best friend.

This is not a substitute for actually scrubbing your face, but it's amazing for when you are just too tired to do all that and don't want to get your hands wet.
Promising review:" The product is a great alternative to Tower 28, any HCl spray will have a bleach-like smell, but it fades right away. I spray it right after washing my face in preparation for my nighttime routine and after workouts. Just be careful when using it with skin and makeup products as if it's not completely dry it will deactivate their properties. I use a fan to dry it out and it doesn't take long. Also, the atomizer mists more than it spritzes so you get nice even coverage. I usually use 3–5 sprays to cover my face. Haven't had any new breakouts since using it!" — Sophie
