Psst: if you're looking for a potion for glass skin, I've got one. It's called Anua, and the magic it does would make the Sanderson sisters look like amateurs.
1. A Cosrx snail mucin serum helps eliminate dark spots, improves skin vitality, and soothes damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick, but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
*All Cosrx products are dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
Alright, friends, I am here to confirm that the hype surrounding this stuff is SO real. I've had acne since I was literally 8 years old (don't ask, my cousin was a face painter and practiced on me, so I broke out BAD), and I'm JUST now starting to get it together. My skin this past year has completely changed. I have gotten super serious about my skincare routine and am now ✨ pimple-free ✨ . Now, I am grateful that my skin has cleared up, but it was still kinda dull, uneven, ya know, the little nitpicky stuff. That is until I cracked and bought this little potion. My skin is now ra-di-anttttt! It's never looked better. My only regret is not taking before and after pics but glass skin, I know her.
Promising review: " SUPER hydrating. My face feels sooooo smooth. The texture of my skin has changed for the better!!! My makeup lays better and holds up better on my face. The way my makeup used to look horrible after a couple hours at work was a tragedy. NOW, with this serum my makeup and skin look so soft and smooth. My makeup lasts for hours!! I 'm not one to leave reviews, so take it from me, this stuff is magic in a bottle." — Eric Hicks
Get it from Amazon for $19.89.
2. Plus Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer, which locks in moisture to help plump and hydrate your skin. Perfect for these next six weeks of winter since that means six more weeks of dry winter skin.
To use as intended, apply the moisturizer after the snail-repairing essence has dried on your face in your skincare routine.
Check out a TikTok of the snail mucin moisturizer in action.
Promising review:"If you're like me and have oily/combo skin that is also sensitive and prone to acne, this is an excellent product worth its price. Very little goes a long way since the slimy texture glides right over the skin. It does not leave any sticky residue; on the contrary, it is absorbed into the skin very quickly. It also keeps the skin moisturized but does not trap oil; in fact, I find my skin to be less oily after a few days of using it!" — Madeline
Get it from Amazon for $20.49.
3. Or a Mizon snail repair cream with raspberry extract, AHA, mugwort extract (not a Harry Potter spell, I swear), and snail mucin that delivers some seriously smooth skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. It gives skin some much-needed deep hydration and helps create a protective barrier to stop that moisture from trying to escape throughout the day.
Promising review: "I don't write reviews often, but this product, through some kind of magic, is a lifesaver. I don't know how, but it takes care of everything. I've struggled with enlarged pores, combination skin, cystic acne, and constant breakouts for over a decade. This is the first product that makes an impact on my skin. I wash my face with CeraVe at night, then just put this snail repair cream all over my face, and that's it. This little jar is my go-to for everything. Highly recommend trying it, especially for combination skin." — Natalya Cappellini
Get it from Amazon for $10.80+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).
4. A Laneige glowy lip balm because one thing about TikTok is your FYP is filled with fire products, and this lightweight miracle is one of 'em. Soft, hydrated lips to finish out the winter — yes, yes, and yes.
Promising reviews: " I've been searching for the holy grail of lip balms, and THIS IS IT. Seriously. I've been on the hunt for years, using everything from fancy French balms to plain organic nut butter, and have always needed to reapply hourly. This stuff is magic. The tiniest dot keeps my lips super soft and hydrated for hours, even through drinking and eating. The grapefruit smells great but isn't overwhelming. I'll never go back to anything else." — Spectacle
"TikTok made me buy it, and I am not mad. This is my go-to lip gloss, and I definitely plan on buying more. I also didn't realize I have the Laneige sleep mask I got from an Ipsy bag, and I just would like to say this company's products are really good. One of my faves overall!!" — Nadine Perez
Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in eight scents and in sets).
5. An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil is perfect for all skin types — it helps eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while helping prevent pores from clogging up. In fact, it's so effective that some reviewers say you can actually see the gunk and oil leave your face. You'll be kinda grossed out by the ick seeping out of your pores while also being* totally* in love with the results and with the way it literally did a magic trick on your face. Blackheads, be gone!
Oh! Anddd reviewers say they use this as a step in their double cleansing routine. What the heck is that, you may ask? Well, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.
Okay, I HAD to have this. I'm so obsessed with this. Why didn't y'all tell me it works this well?! My skin barely breaks out now, I don't see as many blackheads, and my Regina George-level pores are nowhere near as noticeable as before. I'm never gonna be able to live without it now. I use this before following up with the Anua cleanser and *chef's kiss*. I was scared my skin would hate this because, as someone with oily skin, cleansing my skin with more oil sounded like a nightmare. But to my surprise, my skin has never looked better! And get this: my skin is less oily now. Just take my wallet, set up a subscription, this isn't ever losing a spot in my skincare routine.
Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser, and I'm so glad I purchased it. I initially saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I saw the white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin. However, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
6. An Elizavecca carbonated clay mask that bubbles up until you look like Raven did when she had that allergic reaction on That's So Raven. Not only is it fun and a good laugh, but it also helps clear your pores and get rid of those super irritating blackheads.
Promising reviews:"I've been buying this mask for a little over a year now and can verify that it is totally worth the hype. I have relatively dry skin, but while I never had acne when I was younger, I quit hormonal birth control a few years ago and, since then, have started breaking out shortly after ovulation. I tried many more expensive masks, but I also have very sensitive skin, and previous products either left me itchy and irritated or had no effect. This mask has completely cured all of my skin problems. If I remember to put it on the night I think I've ovulated, I have zero zits, and if I forget and some start to show up, I do the mask, and the zits have significantly retreated by the next morning. I only need to use it a few times a month, so it takes me several months to go through a jar. I would pay four times more for this product if I had to!" — carof
"BEST. STUFF. EVER. I have been having horrible acne problems recently, and this mask actually helped!!!! It itches but works. 1000% worth every penny." — Taylor Daniel

7. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce hydrating multi-balm, a TikTok-viral gem that's a lip balm, eye cream, neck cream, and makeup base, andddd will help you get that glass skin look because it's essentially a magic wand. The effects will have your skin looking spellbindingly radiant, vibrant, moisturized, and ~lifted~ because there's collagen and natural Jeju fermented oil in this exquisite little potion.

Promising review: "Where has this been all my life??? Okay, no lie, new favorite thing!!! This stuff is amazing — I don't know what it does or how it does it, but it literally makes my skin look glowy and flawless in one quick swipe. I just put it on my T-zone the first day, but I noticed it smoothed my skin and tiny wrinkles so nicely. The next day, I put it near my mouth, and those vanished, too!!! If I could bathe in this stuff, I would!!! Best product I've purchased. I saw it on one of those 'best of lists' and took a chance. Lasts all day! Worth every cent!" — April Dijack
Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in six styles).
8. A bottle of hydrating Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow niacinamide Dew Drops infused with vitamin C, vitamin E, and moringa oil (aka magical pixie dust). It creates that dewy, bright finish you've been trying to achieve, and its lightweight texture will absorb quickly and make your skin glow like a Cullen.
Promising review: "I love this product with my heart and soul. I've been using it as a part of my skincare and prep routines for a few months, and my skin looks so natural, plump, and even. I'm ALL about a glowy, dewy, natural look, and this product has helped me achieve that. Plus, it's a great serum packed with goodies that your skin will thank you for! It's definitely worth it, and I will always recommend it to anyone. I use it twice daily, in the morning as the last step before my makeup routine and at night before moisturizer! If using it during the daytime, don't forget to use sunscreen because its vitamin and natural acid contents make the skin a little more susceptible and sensitive to sunlight! Hope this helps :)" — Andrea Velarde
Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in two sizes).
9. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment contains ceramides and collagen that'll give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes, no spell required! Keeping you flawless even if you don't have much time or don't feel like doing your hair.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"Not gonna lie, I was skeptical that this could help me. A few months ago, I decided I could bleach my hair. I burnt it to such a crisp that I've been wearing it under a cap. That worked when it was winter, but now it's warm, so I needed a solution. I saw this product highly recommended on other sites, and the reviews were good, so I ordered a tube. Used it twice now and OH. MY. LANTA. My hair has felt like crunchy noodles for months, ready to snap at a moment's notice. After one treatment (left in about 15 minutes after shampoo, before conditioner), my ends feel soft!! After the second time washing with it, it actually moves like it's not damaged, and it is visibly SO much healthier. I don't know how they bottled witchcraft, but I will continue to use this product even when my hair grows out. An absolute magical miracle potion! I seriously prepared myself to explain to the world that it doesn't work. But instead, I have the healthiest hair I've had since being a home hairdresser. 10/10 for less than $10. Picture from left to right (blonde above): my hair before using this, my hair after the first treatment, and my hair after the second treatment. — Beth

10. A SAEM Iceland Hydration Eye Stick helps reduce dark circles, lines, and puffiness while delivering moisture without oils. Sensitive skin friends, this one's for us. People may start to think your goldfish are Cosmo and Wanda because these results are jaw-dropping.
Promising review:"I HAD to write a review. I use this in the morning and night after my whole face routine and putting on moisturizer. I don't have dark bags however, my under-eyes do get a bit puffy and I was noticing fine lines. DUDE, those fine lines are fading. Last night I went to a party and woke up looking like the crypt keeper, and this stuff normalized my creepy zombie eyes in about 20 minutes. It's $9. Do yourself a favor and buy it." — Jasmine Deatherage
Get it from Amazon for $6.09+ (available in three styles and in multipacks).
11. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil that's not too thick and not too sticky — it's just right, like Goldilocks and Baby Bear's porridge, chair, and bed. Plus, it gives your dry, flaky lips a cute, subtle pop of color while nourishing them at the same time.
This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" — Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 shades and multipacks).
12. The Face Shops's facial foaming cleanser to brighten, moisturize, and remove your makeup all in one step. Talk about a multitasker — this stuff is equivalent to the one person in the group project who does most of the work. It's got rice water in it, which has your skin gettin' its ✨shine✨ on, and it *also* helps improve dull skin tone and rough texture, so it is yet another bonus.
Promising review:"I have struggled with acne my entire life. I've gone to dermatologists and tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and tazarotene, and nothing even reduced it. I struggled with a very basic form of acne on my forehead and sometimes my chin, and I have sensitive skin, so I decided to try something new. I thought I'd have to wait at least a month to see results, but everything started to disappear within four days. All of my major acne has completely gone away. I only see little tiny spots here and there, but they go away within a day. Nothing like what I used to get. I will start using it on my back to see if it helps there, too. 10/10, the best face wash I have ever encountered in my life." — Jaiden
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes and a bundle).
13. Plus, The Face Shop's rice water cleansing oil which contains rice water (obvi), rice bran oil, and jojoba oil to help nourish, moisturize, hydrate, and brighten your skin so well you'll be convinced Alex, Justin, and Max Russo made it in their wizard lair. Holy grail is an understatement.
Amazon
Promising review: "This was my first K-beauty makeup cleanser and it's still one of my favorites. It takes off even sealed theater makeup instantly and moisturizes my skin, which tends to dry out under makeup. It leaves residue on your skin if you don't wash it off thoroughly. I find I need warm water and a face cloth; you can't just splash water on your face and call it done. I've also used Clean It Zero and other oil cleansers, and none soothe my dry skin as much as this one does. Magic for dry skin." — Deanna
Get it from Amazon for $15.
14. A Peach & Lily water gel moisturizer that's called "Glass Skin" for a reason. This stuff will have you looking like a glazed donut in the best way by using a little magic and hyaluronic acid with vegan prebiotics and probiotics to give you a weightless finish, and all the hydration your thirsty skin desires.
Peach & Lily
Peach & Lily is a woman- and Asian-owned business specializing in cruelty-free, spa-quality K-beauty skincare.
Promising review: "Love this moisturizer so much! It's definitely a holy grail in my routine now. It's so cooling and refreshing and leaves my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and smooth without any greasy or heavy feeling or sticky residue. Great for the oily skin and acne-prone folks!" — Chloe W.
Get it from Ulta or Peach & Lilly for $43.
15. A jar of Anua Heartleaf daily toner pads containing PHA is a delicate exfoliating ingredient that'll help you reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts — um, yay. They also have heartleaf extract in 'em, which is grown and harvested in Korea and will help give you that gorgeous glass skin you've been trying so hard to achieve. It's so good you'll be belting out "Do You Believe In Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "This is a really nice first step in my morning routine. It's helped minimize my hormonal acne because the PHAs gently exfoliate. I don't recommend using other acids with this. I like that it comes with little tweezers so you can pick up a pad in a sanitary way." — Scrump
"When I tell you my skin hasn't been this clear in forever. I have PCOS and hirsutism, which causes me to grow hair on my neck and chin. I'm also a skin picker, so clearing my skin has been really difficult for me. But this product has saved my skin. I'm still working on my skin picking, but when I don't, these pads help exfoliate and help with the dark marks. Thanks Anua!" — Jessyca Renee
Get it from Amazon for $23.
16. A pack of popular Cosrx pimple patches because although your skincare routine is top-notch perfection, you still get the occasional, annoying, random zit that makes you wanna burn the house down. These things will suck all that gross gunk out and help speed up the healing process so that zit can get the heck outta here. Bibbidi bobbidi buh-bye pimple.
For persistent or bigger pimples, put a pimple patch on overnight for 2–3 days to help the pimple diminish.
Promising reviews:" This product works! It stays on until you remove it, and honestly, you can wash your face and forget it's there, and it still holds up to a lather without falling off. I had a few hormonal acne areas on my chin that were painful to the touch. This patch seemed to alleviate the discomfort, and I forgot about it and wore it overnight. It took a few days for the spot to go down in size, but it works. As for blemishes after threading, single treatment and by morning…the blemish is gone." — LaTisha Taylor
"Anti-acne sorcery in a patch! I put these on un-popped and pre-popped zits; the result is great either way. The skin heals, and the zit shrinks!" — phai
Get a three-pack of 24 patches each from Amazon for $12.50+ (available in other multipacks).
17. A pack of Skin1004 zombie masks that could seriously get you cast in American Horror Story — the Coven season, of course, because it's the *supreme* (shoutout to Fiona Goode). They help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and the appearance of pores by gently removing dead skin cells and hydrating your skin. After 15 minutes of looking like a horror film extra, your skin will have you looking 15 again.
www.amazon.com
After mixing the powder and activator, just apply the mask on your face, and you'll start to feel it working instantly!
Promising review:"After years of trying different products on my sensitive, acne-prone, red, rough skin, I saw this mask and all of the positive reviews and thought, 'What the hell, I'll give it a go.' Even after the first application, I was really impressed with the results. My rough skin is smoother, I have no additional breakouts, and when I wear makeup, it blends into my skin. It also helps the deep wrinkles on my neck. I even got a compliment on my skin the other day — this NEVER happens. I use the mask twice per week. I'm in month two and recommend it to anyone with skin problems. My only caution is that it smells funky (who cares) and is a little hard to remove. I only apply the mask when I'm going to shower and wash my hair. It's zombie life for me from here on out!" — Charlie B
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $18.50+ (available in multipacks).
18. A Krave Beauty matcha hemp cleanser — a ~bouncy~ gel formula to help lift away dirt, makeup, and sunscreen without giving you that dreadful, dry, tight feeling afterward. It contains coconut-based surfactants, nourishing matcha, and hemp seed oil that'll help restore your skin's hydration and antioxidants and give you a deep cleanse with an ever-so-silky lather.
Krave Beauty is a Korean woman-owned small business that aims to make skincare easy and stress-free.
Promising review:"I struggled with oily, acne-prone skin and a damaged barrier since I was a teenager. But I've been loyal to this cleanser and the oat moisturizer since they came out and y'all...it took some time, but my skin is finally, FINALLY, in the place I always wanted it to be. It has the best texture, amount of lather, and after-feel of any cleanser I've ever tried. Do your skin a favor and try this." — Monisa A.
Get it from Krave Beauty for $16.
19. Mixsoon Bean Essence helps regulate sebum production without causing irritation. Your dry skin will thank you because this thiccccc bb that contains natural ingredients will help ensure optimal hydration and superior moisture. Supple, firm skin — someone play that "Miracles Happen" song from The Princess Diaries.
Promising reviews: "Just *chef's kiss*. I have textured/damaged skin due to acne and this product worked instantly for me. This left my face feeling sooo soft and smooth, I have never experienced these types of results from any product that I've used. I highly recommend this!!!" — Carla
"Wait, so three things. One, I never write reviews on Amazon. Two, I didn't realize how much I needed this until I gave it a try. Three, just use this for a week and you'll find yourself skipping visits to both your dermatologist and the spa. There's something magical in this bottle — I'm convinced there's a genie in this bottle." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes).
20. A TikTok-beloved Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam to give your skin that gentle exfoliating it's been craving. And it won't stop there — this stuff soothes inflammation, and because it's packed with TRIPLE hyaluronic acid, your skin will get the ultimate hydration. It *also* contains Heartleaf extract (IDK from which witch's heart, probs Winifred Sanderson's).
This + the oil cleanser, ooof, undefeated combo. It's like The Avengers teamed up to fight my acne and pores. I love this stuff. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My skin looks brand new. I always felt like I needed makeup because my skin was such a disaster. But now, I don't remember the last time I wore foundation. My skin looks amazing, minus my dark under eyes, but that's not this lil' potions fault. *Sigh*I'll be back later; I feel like using this soothing cleanser now.
Promising review: "I'm not gonna lie, I saw this on TikTok and jumped on the bandwagon! If you're debating if it's worth the hype, BUY IT!! IT'S WORTH IT!! I have always had one very large pore on my under-eye/cheek area beside my nose. I bought this hoping it would just help improve my overall skin journey and maaannnn... I will never use anything else! I do use the Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil first and then use this cleanser after and have noticed a HUGE improvement! My extra-large pore has shrunk three times its size, and I've noticed it's helped pull extra gunk from the pores in my nose that I didn't even know was there! My skin feels so clean after using it!" — Molly Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $13.
21. A Glow Recipe toner contains a mixture of hyaluronic acid and tea tree extract to moisturize your skin and even texture. It'll also give you an effortlessly glowy look that may have people accusing you of witchcraft. Bonus: it smells like watermelon!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"Holy grail. I've been using this alongside the Glow Recipe Pink Juice moisturizer for a few weeks now and I'm honestly confused and baffled by how great my skin has been. I have very acne-prone, troubled skin, but this last week and a half or so, I really didn't even want to put on makeup because my skin is the best it's been in years. Try this!!!!!!!!" — Mary
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes and three styles).

Promising review:"I absolutely love this. I'm halfway through my first bottle and I will be purchasing again. This has become a staple in my daily night routine. I've had very oily skin, large pores, acne, and blackheads since I was a teenager, and I'm now in my late 30s and still get hormonal flare-ups. Using this product has greatly improved my skin's appearance. It looks and feels healthier. My blackheads are gone and my pores have decreased in size. I still get oily throughout the day, but it's better than it used to be. I'm definitely more confident about my skin now. 😁" — Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $18.49.
23. A Some By Mi Miracle toner lives up to its whole ~miracle~ name. It uses a holy grail blend of tea tree water extract, AHA/BHA/PHA, papaya extract, and witch hazel extract to help remove dead skin and help improve texture.

After cleansing, soak your cotton pad with this stuff, gently wipe your face, and lightly tap for absorption. Follow up with moisturizer!
Promising review:"This stuff works! First of all, there was no purging period, which my acne-prone skin is grateful for. It also doesn't sting or smell harsh. Within a week of using this toner I stopped having breakouts. My dark spots are slowly getting lighter and my skin is starting to glow. I'm on my second bottle now and I have nothing but good things to say. I really hope they never stop making this." — kem
Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in a two-pack).
24. A fast-working Dear, Klairs calming cream to soothe and calm any redness caused by pimples. You can also use it after shaving, laser treatments, and long-term sun exposure.

So add this to your cart and let yourself have flawless skin.
Promising review:"I am in love with this product. It doesn't have a smell, and texture-wise it's more of a gel. It absorbs into the skin perfectly without drying down matte or greasy. It makes the skin look so healthy. After washing my face, my acne sometimes gets irritated, but as soon as I apply this moisturizer the irritation goes away. It's also really compatible with every toner, serum, sunscreen and essence I've used. It's my favorite product." — Neyssa
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).
25. Heimish cleansing balm because applying your makeup is a good time, and slaying all day with your gorgeous face is phenomenal. But taking your makeup off? Night-freakin'-mare, right? No matter how much you scrub and how many wipes you use, that waterproof mascara still lingers. Well, this little magical miracle product melts into oil and gently cleanses your face to help clear up those clogged pores and blackheads.
Promising review:"I LOVE this cleansing balm. I've been trying all sorts of different cleansers to try and help my acne to no avail. It wasn't until I started watching videos on Korean beauty that this oil cleanser kept being recommended and I decided to give it a try. Worth. Every. Penny. You don't need a lot to wash your whole face, and it gets the job done well, leaving my face super refreshed afterward. Of course, I've been using other Korean beauty products so I won't give it full credit, but I do think it's helped out my acne a lot." — A Flying Potato
Get it from Amazon for $16.
26. A bottle of I'm From Goami rice toner balances out the levels of oil and water in your skin and soothes flaky skin cells. The sirtuin from rice helps protect your skin from damage caused by the sun, and the double-layer texture will give you some serious luster, moisture, and nourishment.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This toner is vegan and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I am in love with this rice toner. It might be one of the best toners I've ever tried. I feel like it made my pimples disappear and made my acne scars lighten. This might be one of the best Korean products I've ever tried as well. It doesn't have a weird scent and looks slightly like milk. I feel so refreshed after I use this toner, and it makes my skin so shiny and plump. I feel very moisturized after using it. Anyone thinking of using a toner should try this one." — Kayra
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes).
27. A Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced vitamin mask with a pudding-like gel texture (ooh la la!) works its magic on skin better than Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog. It'll help make your face feel all ~moisturized~ for eight hours, and its amazing blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, and niacinamide will serve you up some firm, ✨illuminated skin✨.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"Freakin' love this stuff. Makes my skin feel bouncy and hydrated. It feels like a beautiful drink of sunny morning water for the face. LOVE the smell of this stuff, it's a very bright, citrusy scent I can't describe fully that just smells like you are happy to be alive, lol. Oh AND I looked up the ingredients of this stuff on the EWG website and it had pretty good safety ratings! After using this consecutively for a couple of weeks, I've noticed a significant brightening affect and anti acne affect! I think this is due to the active ingredients being for skin barrier health, so the skin is less likely to break out. And the evening of my skin tone is just an added benefit!" — CatLover222
Get it from Amazon for $21.76.
28. A set of 16 Dermal facial sheet masks for skin as bright as the sun (thanks to vitamin E) and as plump as Violet Beauregarde after she ate Willy Wonka's gum and turned into a blueberry (thanks to collagen). A good mask just always feels like self-care baddie energy.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each mask features a different kind of essence, such as green tea, aloe, or pearl, so they each target slightly different skin concerns.
Promising reviews:"My must-have item. Helps with redness, scarring, uneven skin tone, and dryness — it's pure magic. I use them every day. I usually put some liquid at the bottom of the bag on my legs and hiney to help with cellulite and spider veins. My all-time favorite skincare product so far. Love love love. I am broke as a joke which is why the $11 price tag is so beautiful." — Katie
" These masks are an incredible bargain! They all have the same basic ingredients, which are excellent, and each mask has a different specific ingredient for skin smoothing, moisturizing, pigmentation...you name it!
