These skin care bestsellers are dominating Amazon in March — but should you buy them?
One of the best ways to get great beauty product recommendations? Word of mouth. After all, who better to tell you if a product is good or not than someone who has used it. This is why we pay attention to Amazon's top-selling skin care products each month. So far, in March, the bestselling products include pimple patches, face moisturizer, body lotion and more — and everything has at least a 4.3-star average rating from tens of thousands of reviews.
The invisible version of these Mighty Patches from Hero Cosmetics made our list of best pimple patches. You get 36 patches in a box and they solely rely on the hydrocolloid gel to draw out any sebum or debris from your skin, making them gentle for sensitive skin. Put one on a blemish before bed and you'll notice a sizable reduction in your zit by morning, according to the brand. These pimple patches have a 4.6-star average rating from over 171,570 reviews on Amazon.
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL
After you wash your face, you likely dry it on the same towel you shower with. The problem? That towel could be loaded with bacteria that you then transfer to your face. Instead, use these disposable face towels. They come in a box of 50 and can dry your face or remove makeup. The towels are unscented, soft and can be composted. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 31,840 reviews on Amazon.
Dermatologists have told us to be wary of highly fragranced body lotions, as they can be drying or irritating — but they made an exception for this one, which has a 4.7-star average rating from over 33,885 reviews on Amazon. It smells like vanilla and is packed with humectants, emollients and occlusives like shea butter, glycerin, cocoa seed butter and petrolatum to hydrate skin, according to the brand.
Makeup wipes are a handy way to take off your face at the end of the day and these from Neutrogena are very popular — they have a 4.8-star average rating from over 114,837 reviews on Amazon. This set comes with two packs of wipes, with each containing 25 wipes. The wipes are soaked with a micellar-infused formula to remove makeup without stripping skin, according to the brand.
Use these affordable cotton rounds to remove eye makeup, apply toner or even remove your nail polish. You get 100 hypoallergenic cotton rounds in a pack, which come in a resealable bag. These cotton rounds have a 4.6-star average rating from 41,383 reviews on Amazon.
BioDance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
This gel mask is beloved on TikTok, with reviewers saying it leaves skin plump and glowy. It's made of gel, so it feels cooling and calming as you wear it. The mask comes in two pieces for easier application. The mask, which has a 4.3-star average rating from over 12,990 reviews on Amazon, is soaked in a serum that contains collagen to plump and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, according to the brand.
Amazon Basics Cotton Swabs
Cotton swabs are a beauty staple used to clean up smudged liner, apply balm or gloss or clean dirty ears. This box comes with 500 double tipped swabs covered in 100% cotton. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 53,110 reviews on Amazon.
Another one of my beauty staples, La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer hydrates skin without making it feel greasy. It works for all skin types and contains ceramides and niacinamide to hydrate and improve your skin barrier. This moisturizer can be used morning and night and a little goes a long way. It has a 4.6-star average rating from over 64,610 reviews on Amazon.

HAIR THIS I'm ‘obsessed' with an £8 Amazon buy for hair growth – it reversed my post-partum hair loss in weeks
SHOPPERS are raving about an £8 Amazon buy for hair growth which could help reverse post-partum hair loss. While postpartum hair loss is a common side effect of pregnancy, it makes many women feel insecure. 2 The oil can be picked up for £7.33 Credit: Getty 2 Shoppers have been raving about the hair oil Credit: Amazon Four to five months after giving birth, the hair will shed at an alarming rate, and it can be worrying. Our hair grows in cycles: a growing phase, a resting phase, and a shedding phase that continues to repeat. But during pregnancy, most of the hair stays in the growth phase due to those big changes in your body's hormones. Once your baby arrives and your hormones begin to change again, the level of estrogen falls, causing your thick head of pregnancy hair to begin the shedding phase. Because so much of your hair sheds all at once, the volume of hair loss seems far more substantial. But customers are hailing a "miracle" oil, which can fit into any haircare routine - applied daily or as a luxurious mask before wash day. Some shoppers have claimed it could reverse their postpartum hair loss in weeks. Mielle's original Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil can be added to your Amazon basket for just £7.33. It promotes "amazing moisture and shine" and supports "longer, healthier hair". The product is infused with the vitamin biotin, which is also beneficial for nails and skin. Muireann O'Connell shares 'singed' hair fiasco There are no parabens, sulfates, paraffins, mineral oil, or DEA, and it's not tested on animals. "Mielle aims to empower women of all hair types and styles with powerful products and gentle, organic ingredients that amplify your natural beauty and are the 'root to results' that leave you looking and feeling your best," said the company. Shoppers have been raving about the hair oil, and even claimed it helped them with post-partum hair loss. "This oil has been a true saviour for me after experiencing postpartum hair loss, which left me with noticeable bald spots around my hairline," penned one. "Having used this consistently for a year, I am thrilled with the results." Another added: "This stuff is a miracle worker! Even the hairdressers at my salon noticed my hair growth and asked what have I been using! Bonus point- it's helped my nails grow as well." A third agreed: "This product has been remarkable. My hair fall have reduced significantly after the last use. Definitely recommended." This comes as a radio presenter has revealed that she suffered severe hair loss after having her second child, but a 59p buy has got it looking thick and healthy again. Meanwhile, another woman shared how she grew her hair thicker using this simple £2 remedy from Asda. She told how she took her hair from the size of a pinky in a ponytail to long and luscious using this one clever hack. Elsewhere, this is a £6 shampoo shoppers are going wild for, which makes your hair grow quickly, but it won't be in the beauty aisle.

Hair loss tips We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the NHS. It is not usually something to worry about, but occasional it can be a sign of a medical concern. These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency. The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it. Experts at American Academy of Dermatology Association also recommend to eat healthy, limit curling irons and only use them for special occasions. They also recommend using a gentle shampoo, and make use of leave-in conditioners.
