1. A moisturizing TirTir milk toner if your skin needs a little hydration boost before moisturizing or putting on makeup. It's formulated with chamomile, which reduces redness and irritation, and rice bran extracts to help even skin tone and enhance brightness.
Psst…It's also alcohol-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin.
Promising reviews: "For a toner, this is SO hydrating and just heavenly. It's perfect for makeup prep as it has just a tad of tackiness right after applying. Goes on under my serums and moisturizer perfectly and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. I saw it recommended by a YouTuber and tried it and it's now a daily use for me, which is rare because I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and I'm very picky about skincare. I can't recommend this enough, truly." — Amazon Customer
"One of my favorite finds from watching TikTok videos. Definitely worth the hype. Feels amazing on the skin. I keep it in the fridge!!" — VickyT
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes and a lighter version).
2. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay.
BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.
Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally 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 could visibly see my 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.
3. Etude House's Soonjung 2x Barrier Intense Cream, because K-beauty for the win, duh, and with good reason! If you're a victim of dry skin, suffer no longer because this TikTok-fave magical cream will strengthen your skin's barrier to better retain moisture! Wave goodbye to your dry, irritated skin and hello to your smooth, hydrated face.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My skin is supple, soft, and feels great. This product is lightweight and clean with no fragrance. I love this moisturizer and hope Etude House never stops making it." — S. Benni
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a set with toner and cleanser).
4. A Tonymoly octopus-shaped scrub stick that removes whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last a while because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" — Diane Delfino
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
5. Mixsoon Bean Essence, yet another K-beauty staple reviewers love because it exfoliates and hydrates their skin at the same time — that's pretty darn tootin' marvelous. The fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate formula helps to remove dead skin cells, deeply hydrate, and revitalize your skin tone.
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 and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on 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
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in two sizes).
6. LivaClean Superstar pimple patches that are so cute, you might not even be that mad at the next pimple you get since you'll have an excuse to put one of these bad boys on. They look just like Starface patches but for a fraction of the price — and reviewers say these work way better for shrinking blemishes and helping them heal!
Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that's SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they're SO expensive and don't work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it's adorable.' 10/10 from me :)" — evalyn evoke
"Works great, just like the other top brands. For a fraction of the price!!" — Madia
Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four designs/shapes as well as a six-pack).
7. Or cult-fave Mighty Patches to tackle those pesky pimples head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus, they help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them (so they can actually heal faster)!
BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more!
Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." — nekojita
Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
8. Plus, nose pore patches that remove the grime and excess oil in your nose that are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer
Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $6.99.
9. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm if your face always feels icky even after you've cleansed and removed makeup. Not only will this magical balm (formulated with pearl barley and vitamin E) remove a full face of makeup, but it's also designed to leave ZERO residue or oiliness. On top of that (as if things couldn't get any better), it helps brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation.
You can stop buying the harsh and drying disposable wipes now!
Promising review:"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
10. A Saem hydrating eye stick that uses ingredients like Icelandic glacial water, moss and seaweed extracts, and niacinamide to address dark circles, lines, and puffiness — all without oils. If you feel like *nothing* gets rid of those all-nighter eye bags, this might just be your savior. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to help better reduce puffiness!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable.
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, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." — HeartsUnfold
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other styles and in multipacks).
11. And! A LilyAna Naturals eye cream to help reduce dark circles and fine lines using all-natural and vegan ingredients. Reviewers praise the results at this low price and compare it to *much* pricier brands. So if you've been staying up well past your bedtime for the past week bingeing your fave TV show (and it shows around your eyes), this miracle cream will come to your rescue.
Promising review:"Seriously, try this eye cream! Holy grail status. I don't think I've ever left a review on Amazon before. This eye cream is THAT good. I was a makeup artist for years. I've been using an eye cream daily since I was 19 (over a decade), so have tried lots of brands, and this stuff is phenomenal! It's now become my go-to cream for my face, eyes, neck, AND décolletage. My skin veers toward dry and I haven't found a face cream I like as much as this that isn't $75, so I just use it all over. The jar is big enough for that and a little goes a LONG way. Use this cream twice a day for the eyes — in the morning under the eye and before bed under the eye and also on the eye lid up to the brow bone — and you will fall in love, too." — L.R.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
12. A shea sugar scrub here to make your skin silky smooth and smell scrumdiddlyumptious. The sugar, which is a natural exfoliant, will scrub away dead skin, and the AHA will help brighten and tone your skin!
Check out a TikTok of it in action.
Promising review: " You simply will NOT believe how smooth and soft your skin is after just one use. Right out of the shower, your skin is transformed to near perfection! I'm still in awe! With regular use, your skin becomes clear and all those dark spots and 'strawberry legs' disappear. I've tried dozens of body scrubs and this one is hands down the best. TIP: Make sure your skin is slightly damp, NOT WET. If your skin is too wet, the exfoliating crystals melt without doing much. On damp skin, you can feel the crystals working their miracles. This is actually a good thing because you can customize the strength/harshness of the scrub to the sensitivity of your skin!" — LadyLoLinda
Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in 30 scents).
13. A Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap to restore moisture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and leaves your skin glowing. Its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric formula can be applied anywhere on your body — including your bikini area!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We're delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." — BATHUSI LOBAKA
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a set of three, four, or five).
14. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow, aka a godsend for your pores. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, watermelon extract, and cactus water, this toner not only locks in moisture and helps minimize the appearance of pores and wrinkles but also exfoliates and decongests your skin with PHA and BHAs! True to its name, it'll also leave you with a gorgeous dewy glow. ✨
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I am in love with this toner. It has given me the most perfect glow. I love applying makeup over it because it makes my skin look so flawless and pore-free! It is definitely worth the price!!" — Fatima
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).
15. A First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser that exfoliates dry and rough bumps, especially those caused by keratosis pilaris (aka "strawberry" or "chicken" skin). This scrub can also help decongest pores and remove dead flakes. It's vegan and cruelty-free and safe for all types of skin!
Promising review:"Holy grail for KP arms and strawberry legs. I have tried EVERYTHING on my KP in the last 30 years, and nothing has ever worked this well and this easily. I use it two or three times a week in the shower and finish with a light moisturizer when I get out. And that's all it took to completely change my skin to silky smooth! I would pay $100 for a tube of this — it would be worth it to me. Total holy grail status." — Houston Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $10.20+ (available in three sizes).
16. A bottle of Tower 28 SOS Spray to rejuvenate and refresh your face throughout the day (with or without makeup) whenever your skin starts to feel a little irritated and starts screaming SOS. Keep it in your gym bag to give yourself a lil' refresh after a workout or in your purse after a long day out in the sun! Hypochlorous acid (which, fun fact, is found naturally in our body's white blood cells) is both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to help soothe your beautiful skin.
Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients and are also vegan and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "What is this magic in a bottle??? LIFESAVER!!! I wish I found this product sooner; it really made a difference with pimples, redness, and pores!! Will repurchase forever." — mariavel
Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or direct from Tower 28 for $12+ (available in three sizes).
17. Or SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray, beloved by so many reviewers because it's just like the Tower 28 SOS spray, only way cheaper *and* double the size! It targets acne-causing bacteria without drying out your skin and helps soothe any redness or irritation — all you have to do is spray it on your face when you need an instant refresh!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of it in action!
Promising review:"I have ordered this twice now. If my skin is breaking out I just spray this on after washing my face and let it air dry. It is nonirritating and nondrying. It has a light chlorine smell to me. I can use both morning and night with no irritation. After a few days of this, my skin started clearing up! I put some in a travel spray bottle and take it when I'm flying. My skin always feels dirty on planes, and I spray it on a few times on travel days to freshen my face and hopefully kill some bacteria. It sprays over makeup with no issues." — SaraSmile11
Get it from Amazon for $17.46.
18. Bio-Oil — it uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act!
Promising reviews:"Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I've been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it's made such a difference! It's basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." — sarah_baerah
Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in two sizes).
19. Elizavecca's Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that exfoliates your skin and removes blackheads for the ultimate spa experience. After applying it, wait five minutes for bubbles to form, remove the foam, and let the charcoal sit briefly before washing it off — fun and purifying!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle, but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it, after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning my skin glowed. Def will be buying more." — Alice D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.80.
20. A Revlon Volcanic Face Roller to soak up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers!
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 $7.80.
21. A stainless-steel skin spatula that scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).
22. Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream to help smooth and tighten skin with its caffeine and guaraná extract formula. Reviewers rave about how it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks (if that's something you're looking to address — but remember you look fab 🎶 just the way you are 🎶)! Plus, it has a pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent...oops, that just made my mouth water.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Caffeine is an antioxidant that can brighten skin complexion and temporarily reduce stretch marks and the appearance of cellulite if that's something you want to do. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic!
Promising review:"Y'all. This stuff smells like heaven. Somehow this scent is appropriate for summer and winter at the same time. It absorbs quickly with no sticky feelings afterward. The one thing that might deter some people from buying it is that there is a shimmer to it. Once I've used it on my hands, I notice that in sunlight, my skin has a bit of a glimmer. I personally love this and can't wait to use this lotion during the summer. I think it's 100% worth the high price tag. When I can summon up the will to spend the money, I'll be buying the body wash, spray, and full-sized lotion as well; currently, the mini lotion stays in my purse." — Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes).
23. The Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a cult-favorite for good reason: It soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness, and it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! Don't worry, no snails were harmed in its making (so Gary, you're safe).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I'm in my 40s and have spent SO much money on skincare in the past few years and have finally found my holy grail. It felt moisturizing (I live in a hot tropical climate and most true moisturizers leave my face looking oily), cleared up my nose breakouts, evened out texture, kept oil under control, and even made my blackheads WAY less prominent. It has a gooey, almost sticky consistency that spreads very smoothly over the face and dries to nothing. I use it before applying my retinoid at night and add a layer after. In the morning, I use it before sunscreen (Australian Gold) and don't need to wear makeup anymore! Believe the hype!" — kaya
"I saw this a couple of times on TikTok and decided, for the price it was definitely worth a try. Oh my gosh, do I wish I tried it sooner! I'm in my late 30's so I have a few lines and some texture. This has helped moisturize and even out my skin so much, and my face feels heavenly! My skin is pretty sensitive and I absolutely cannot stand when something smells bad, I haven't had any problems with this product at all. Just a warning to people that are allergic to shellfish, be careful with this product because you could have a reaction." — Mandy Bompiani
Get it from Amazon for $18.70.
24. And the Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer if you want to look and feel positively radiant. This wonder product locks in moisture to plump, hydrate, and soothe parched skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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.
25. A CeraVe hydrating cleanser that gently cleanses skin of all types *without* stripping away your natural moisture. It's formulated with three ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help your skin stay hydrated! Reviewers with eczema and sensitive skin say that it doesn't irritate them AT. ALL.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Watch someone test it out on TikTok!
Promising reviews:"Doesn't dry my skin out at all! I can totally feel a difference in how my skin feels when I use this compared to other washes. I have super sensitive, eczema-ridden skin, and my eczema is especially flared up around my eyes, and this doesn't burn them or irritate them at all! I also struggle with acne, and this has helped me with that as well! I wish I would've found this sooner!"— Bridget Z.
Get it from Amazon for $12.37+ (available in three sizes).
26. Pure NanoSteamer to open up your pores instead of taking a scorching hot shower to do so. It also triples as a towel warmer and humidifier — the perfect spa night 3-in-1.
Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful if performing extractions on yourself as these can injure your skin if not used properly.
Promising review:" After having seen my esthetician for a few months, I asked her for a facial steamer she'd recommend for home use. She suggested this one and I have been using it nightly since receiving it. It is VERY user-friendly and certainly is making my skin look healthy and therefore, makeup looks better when I go out for the evening, etc. I highly recommend this product and as I use it with a towel over my head in order to keep the steam more focused on my face, it's a complete joy and immensely relaxing." — Antonia O.
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors).
27. Bawdy butt sheet masks that leave your cheeks feeling moisturized and skin looking plump. They'll help tone and contour your booty with some plant-based collagen so your full body can get a self-care treatment. Hey, your bum deserves some TLC too!
Amazon
Promising review: "I love this! I put it on for about 10 to 15 minutes, and I can honestly say that I felt so much more hydrated, and I noticed some corrections in my skin tone. I'm going to buy more. I'm also very white, so you can see imperfections more easily if I'm not tan, and this helped a lot." — AM_Mama89
Get the "Bite It" mask from Amazon for $10.99 and find more versions here.
28. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm if you crave that "post-shower feeling" and ✨ glow ✨. This K-beauty product deserves a spot in your arsenal ASAP because it combines the power of lip balm, eye cream, primer, and MORE — what?! Its salmon complex and collagen formula helps reduce fine lines and can keep your skin hydrated for 48 hours. OK, fine, I've convinced myself to buy one.
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, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" — Kristy
"I have heard about the great Korean beauty products. I have mouth lines that I don't like. I thought I'd give this product a try. It definitely plumps up my skin which helps decrease the appearance of my lip lines. It gives my normally dry skin a dewy finish. I really enjoy wearing it at bedtime. I'm going to be trying other items from this line. Cool product, there's a reason it took TikTok by storm." — nicky
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six styles)
29. Differin Retinoid gel that has the strength of a prescription med but is OTC. It'll infiltrate your pores and work from the inside to help prevent new acne from forming. Just apply a thin layer on needed areas once a day and let it work its magic. This gel has over 58,000 5-star ratings, and rightfully so!
Promising review:" Has completely transformed my skin. I used to get hormonal acne every single month, I still get it now but far less often and severely. Differin has really made a big difference on my quality of life. I have sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple of times a week and always over a light layer of lotion. When I first started using it, my acne did get worse for about a month, and then magically one day, my skin looked amazing. It's worth a try for sure!" — Britt
Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in four sizes).
30. The Ordinary's Oil Control Serum, a magical product for most of your skincare woes. Blackheads, whiteheads, acne, and dark spots — this serum can tackle it all. It's enriched with water-based minerals and vitamins that'll target congested pores, regulate excess sebum, and leave your skin looking radiant.
Sephora
Note: If you use vitamin C as part of your skincare routine, this should be used at an alternate time as the niacinamide in this can interact and make pure-form vitamin C less effective.
Promising review:"My skin looks so much better compared to when I wasn't using it. I saw people using this on TikTok and bought it, and it has been one of the best purchase I've ever done." — yenach0
Get it from Sephora for $6+ (available in two sizes).
31. Seraphic Skincare's microdermabrasion mitt that buffs away all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better!
Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok!
Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available as a pair).
33. O'Keeffe's hand cream that just may be the savior for your extremely dry, cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer (unscented and non-greasy!) that'll actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour.
www.amazon.com
For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.
Promising review:"I didn't think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn't disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it'll last a while! We'll most certainly be repeat customers!" — HSmomma
Get it from Amazon for $9.78 (available in two sizes and also in a pack of two or 12).
34. A viral deep collagen overnight mask — if you've been looking for the ultimate glass skin hack, this is it. The mask goes on white, and once your face has absorbed all the collagen, it turns transparent. Leave it on while you relax for a few hours or even overnight as you sleep, and your face will be super hydrated, firm, and glowy afterward.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I got influenced by TikTok and I'm pleased to say the hype is legit. I sleep in this mask and the next day my skin is so glowy and plump. That said, I have a small face and it takes a few hours for it to fully absorb and adhere. It's a good value for the price, and I would recommend sleeping in this.

Promising review:"I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I've spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I'm very pleased with this product!" — Lafinrsm

Promising reviews: " This!!!! This is my new holy grail product. I decided to switch up my skincare routine and did research on BHAs and this product because I had seen everyone talking about it. I have very very dry, acne-prone skin that also had tons of blackheads on my chin and nose and little bumps (I don't even know what they were) on my cheeks. I have been using this for around a week and a half and I've noticed such a huge difference. The bumps on my cheeks are gone, and the blackheads I had spent years trying to pop or pick out or use pore strips are basically gone. I have no idea how it worked so fast and I am so amazed. I told everyone to buy this and it's worth it 100%. I am amazed by this. It also does not dry out my skin like I expected it to." — Cameron Stussie

Promising review:"I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." — Sandy G

The texture is really creamy, it absorbs into my skin easily, and I don't have to worry about grease marks transferring to my clothes."
Promising reviews: " Almost identical to Philosophy's Warm Cashmere! Love it and layers well with your perfume." — Ayomidele
"Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil.

It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo
