This $5 dry shampoo is so good at its job that you're going to pray to the beauty gods it doesn't go out of stock again.
1. A splurge-worthy bottle of EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen reviewers attest is worth every damn penny — this sensitive skin-friendly formula is lightweight, nongreasy, and doesn't leave a white cast. And because it is determined to be the Ultimate Sunscreen Of All Time, it's also made to help protect and calm rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and acne-prone skin. 🙌
Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information!
Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy it. Recommended by at least three TikTok doctors (real ones, I promise) and was pleasantly surprised. Not greasy, no white cast, and doesn't irritate my oily skin." — Victoria Caboa
"Because I have hated just about every facial sunscreen (especially you, Supergoop, lol) I've ever tried, the price for this product is honestly worth it. Doesn't feel greasy, oily, or silicone-y. Doesn't leave a white cast. Doesn't have a strong odor. It really just feels like I'm putting another layer of moisturizer on. If I go out with only this SPF with no makeup, my skin looks nice, dewy, and moisturized, but never oily or greasy. Most importantly, this keeps my rosacea in check!" — Christina Chetwood
2. And Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen designed specifically for people who get the "ick" from oily sunscreens but need all the sun protection they can get. This ultra-sheer, quick-absorbing formula leaves a matte finish that still packs a powerful sun-protective punch. And at this price point, this is the ultimate "everyday" sunscreen for face and body.

Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. I t is really lightweight and doesn't feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn't overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" — Savannah
Price: $8.88+ (available in multipacks, SPF 100, and SPF 30 versions)
3. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm, which unsurprisingly went just as TikTok viral as everyone's beloved Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask — the glowy balm has the same delightful flavors (including the iconic Gummy Bear) and hydrates lips with the *chef's kiss* lightweight, moisturizing blend that doesn't get all sticky and goopy-like competitors.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Laneige lip balm lives up to the TikTok hype. The Gummy Bear scent is awesome. Don't need to constantly reapply because the formula is moisturizing. Definitely will order other scents." — Charlotte T.
Price: $19 (available in eight flavors and multipacks)
4. Olay Super Serum Body Wash to make anyone with dry or dull cold weather skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.)
www.instagram.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game-changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina
5. An affordable, high quality racerback workout top made with a suuuper soft ribbed knit that make it a perfect "throw it on" staple for warm weather days when you're guaranteed to sweat whether or not a workout is involved. 🥵
Promising review: "This is the softest tank top I own right now. Hopefully it will stay the test of time but after three washes, it looks like new still. The cut is adorable and it's true to size." — Anna
6. And a pair of reliable, reviewer-beloved biker shorts with juuuust the right amount of thickness, stretch, and compression to hit that sweet spot of "yes, I can work out in these, but I can also strut around town in a vintage sweatshirts and pretend to be Princess Diana."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Finally found the perfect biker shorts. Five-inch seam is the perfect length. High waist is perfect, does not roll down. Buttery soft and super comfortable. This is a repurchase because I like them so much. The color is great. They are not see through. Good material." — KL
7. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser you may just give "holy grail" status if you've got sensitive skin — this gentle but effective blend of niacinamide, ceramides, and prebiotic thermal water is designed to remove excess oil and cleanse pores while still preventing dryness and protecting your skin barrier.
Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, so finding a cleanser that works without irritating my skin can be tricky. This foaming cleanser was both gentle and effective. It left my skin feeling clean and refreshed without causing any discomfort, and it wasn't too drying. I'm really happy with the results and will definitely continue using it!" — PkH4207
8. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity.
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn't have to wait for it and pay less. Can't go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." — Ramona L. Corona
9. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." — Meg B.
10. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
11. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works.
Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo
"I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha
12. A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray for anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on that at-home pedicure. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck.

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT

14. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable. The argan oil infusion adds a touch of nourishment and helps to prevent future frizz. I'm so happy I finally found a product that actually works to control my unruly hair!" — Kleo
15. And Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment, the holy grail of curly hair products — you can either use it as a conditioning treatment, or wear it all day in your curls both to style and condition for all-day hair repair.

17. L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer with such intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing power that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 👀. Not only is this super effective and affordable, but its nongreasy formula makes it play super well with makeup.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "You CAN pay an obscene price for a daily or nightly moisturizer that promises 'younger looking skin.' But in most cases, you're paying for a company's marketing team's new spin. But L'Oréal moisturizers continue to do what they have always done, moisturize and plump skin with collagen. This is the one I use for evening, and I use the same thing with added SPF for daytime. The scent of each is light and gentle and lovely." — Gail Lindhurst
18. Mighty Patch Nose Patches for overnight use to help kick "nose gunk" to the curb — this extra-large hydrocolloid patch helps lift sebum to reduce the appearance of pimples, pores, and oil. You can even see all the satisfyingly gross evidence for yourself when you pull it off in the a.m. 👀
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "These things work! I've been dealing with bad breakouts recently and could not figure out what was causing them. I was recommended to try these, and let me tell you, the stuff that came out of my pores is unreal. I've tried charcoal face masks, and nothing has worked as well as these. My face is finally clearing up." — Hannah Braswell
19. A compact windproof travel umbrella with one of those fancy buttons that makes it fan out on command. This is affordable enough that you will kiss your past self for buying a few to slip into bags and glove compartments. And it comes in enough patterns that you'll be dodging rain clouds *and* compliments.
www.amazon.com
20. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin.
Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight, and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina
21. "Gloves In A Bottle," aka the hero of anyone with dry, cracked hands — this game-changing lotion not only helps heal your skin, but actively protects it for four to twelve hours, even through repeated hand washes. Reviewers with eczema or those who have to sanitize frequently for work swear by this!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Gloves in a Bottle is a small business that specializes in skincare products for working professionals.
Promising review:"I am a teacher and literally wash or sanitize my hands several times per hour! If I'm not washing my hands, I'm cleaning all the surfaces in my classroom with harsh cleaners. I thought I would try this lotion and I am thankful I took a chance! It is not only moisturizing, but it's not too scented or greasy. We are not allowed to wear perfume at school due to allergies, and this works perfectly. The best part is that after you do wash your hands, you can still feel the lotion! My cuticles are staying moisturized, too. I am going to get more for home and the car." — Chianti
22. A suuuper thin, breathable Hanes slub knit hoodie as the ultimate "just in case" sweater on days when the spring weather is having an existential crisis and taking you for the ride.
Promising review: "I've bought this same hoodie several times, in various colors AND to have an extra black and white one for vacations. The fabric is thin. It won't keep you very warm in cold weather. It's PERFECT when you just want something lightweight to wear over a tank top, spaghetti-strap top, or tube top. I wear it when I just need a little extra coverage." — Amazon Customer
23.
PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash, the gentler version of the OG foaming wash. This sensitive skin-friendly formula effectively clears up bacteria that causes acne on your face *and* body, helping clear and unclog pores so your skin can ~thrive~. Reviewers swear by this both for clearing up existing acne, and preventing more blemishes!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — this "gentler" formula contains 4% Benzoyl peroxide, so reviewers with sensitive skin swear by this one versus the foaming 10% version, which admittedly does pack a bit more of a powerful punch.
Promising review:"This working like no other. Sometimes when products have no lather I can't tell if it's working tbh. This has no lather but works! Improves breakouts and textured skin. I saw results in four days." — Ellice D. Ellis

26. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo to relieve flaking and itching and help prevent outbreaks by getting directly to the root.

This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C.

Promising review: "These are really nice. They fit perfectly. I use the back straps if I am walking around a lot. They are super comfortable to walk in. There are a perfect slip on also. I use them both ways. Comfortable from day one. I was pleasantly surprised because I expected them to feel heavy, but they are not. They feel solid but not heavy. I sprayed them with a suede spray and they look great! I get so many compliments on them!" — Jerry Preciado
28. A dark spot–removing soap bar you might want to try if you're dealing with sensitive skin or hyperpigmentation — this affordable alternative to $$ creams on the market is formulated not only with hyaluronic acid to protect your skin's moisture barrier, but a blend of vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and turmeric to help brighten and soothe skin.
Promising review: "If you're someone who has sensitive skin like me, this product is for you! I highly recommend it. I learned about this product on TikTok and decided to try it out. It's worth the money. The smell is not overbearing, and it reminds you of a refreshing citrusy fruit. I'm very particular about trying skincare products, but this is your go-to. It will have your face feeling refreshed and clean, and there's no white cast." — Elisabeth L.
"Really good product considering the price. I have tried expensive creams to diminish a dark spot in my face, and I haven't gotten the quick results I am getting with this soap. I highly recommend this product." — Amazon Customer
