Give your skin a big ole' drink of water with this probiotic-packed mask, which starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask, and as the hours go by, it gradually turns clear, signaling that it's working its magic on your skin. It'll not only strengthen your skin's barrier and improve elasticity, but it'll also refine the appearance of large pores and help smooth out fine lines. Many reviewers also say it's surprisingly comfortable to sleep in!

It's 15 minutes of pure pampering and relaxation for your face. IDK, if I were you, I'd def keep these on deck (especially while traveling)! An ethereal liquid eyeshadow glitter to make your eyelids look like Tinker Bell flew by and kissed them with her pixie dust. It dries super fast, so no fear of smudging! You can rock it on its own for some subtle shimmer or layer it over your other eye makeup when you're feeling a lil' extra.

30 Walmart Skincare Products That Work Just Like Magic
A superstar pimple patch from Hero Cosmetics that helps get rid of those pesky, under-the-skin bouts of acne that you're ~sooo~ tempted to pop the moment they show up. Pop one of these life savers on before bed or at the beginning of the day and let the hero ingredients niacinamide, salicylic acid, and an army of tiny microdarts do their thing. Promising review: "This is a much easier and clean way to get rid of pimples! No messy cream required! It works like a charm and it got rid of my pimple in half the time it typically does for it to go away." —Corie Price: $12.97 A serum from Olay designed to *checks notes* hydrate skin, minimize the appearance of fine lines, improve skin tone, and brighten the complexion. Pretty impressive resumé, right? This workhorse of a serum also claims to be lightweight (read: not sticky), so you don't have to worry about it interfering with your other skincare or makeup. Promising review: "Girlllll this is the stuff! My face is glowing, and it makes my face feel so moisturized and smooth. I'm in love 😍" —MeganPrice: $15.96 (originally $19.94) An ointment with over 5,000 reviews from Aquaphor that moonlights as a moisturizer for dry lips and as a healer for any cracked, irritated skin. As an added bonus, it can tend to any compromised patches of skin on the body as well! Hello hydration, baby. Promising review: "This is the best for healing dry cracked skin! I used this on my hands to help heal contact dermatitis from doing nails (I'm a nail tech). I also put this on my face at night after my moisturizer to "slug" instead of Vaseline. I like this better because it has other ingredients for healing not just petroleum jelly." —AsharaPrice: $18.37 A pack of three facial razors from Plum Beauty that gently remove any unwanted stray hairs (i.e., the upper lip, below the eyebrows). They're a painless alternative to skin-stinging hair wax strips and are light enough to carry in your bag when you're in need of any on-the-go touchups. Promising review: "I love these facial razors, they work better than the ones I have used before. I like that the head of it is larger than I am used to using. I feel like it worked better and it was smoother!" —GabrielPrice: $4.98 A tried-and-true acne-busting face wash from Panoxyl that helps unclog pores and combat blemishes even before they appear — we love a product that thinks one step ahead! You can also use this foam-based cleanser as a body wash to focus on any unwanted acne on the legs, back, chest, and arms. It relies on benzoyl peroxide to fight blemishes and bacteria. Promising review: "I struggled with cystic acne that would not go away using pimple patches and other acne treatments, but once I started using this product, my acne was gone within a month." —anonymousPrice: $9.77 A TikTok-famous eye cream from Roc that claims to make puffy under-eyes and dark circles disappear. This pink-tinted eye cream calls on skin-smoothing retinol and peptides to help you fake a well-rested eight hours of sleep. Slow and steady wins the race, as they say, so be sure to use this product every other day when starting out, per the brand. Promising review: "This will last you forever! You only need a tiny bit to get the job done, and I can definitely tell a difference. I feel like the skin surrounding my eyes is lighter and brighter." —AudreePrice: $29.97 A gel-based serum from E.l.f. which works as both a skin hydrator and makeup primer. It will also leave your complexion looking *very* dewy — just like a glazed donut, which is def what you're going for. Promising review: "I reach for this product almost every morning! It has a lightweight consistency but provides a great amount of moisture for my skin. Leaves my skin glowing and wears wonderfully under makeup! Love the sturdy packaging it comes in as well." —KaraPrice: $11.97 A spray-on toner from Bubble Skincare that helps to reduce oil buildup and can be used more than once a day — yes, you heard that correctly. The brand encourages repeated applications of the product daily to keep your skin clear. Make sure to tuck it in your purse or backpack or leave it at your work desk to make the most of it. Promising review: "Love this toner! I like that it's a spray so its easy to apply. It's very soothing on my sensitive skin. It actually smells really good too." —JLDPrice: $11.98 A makeup remover from Garnier able to take off even the most stubborn of waterproof eyeliners and mascaras without tugging on your skin. Soak the product on a cotton swab, cotton ball, or on the pad of your finger and apply it to the areas in which you really went to town with your makeup. Then wash everything off and fall into bed as a fresh-faced beauty! Promising review: "A staple in my skincare routine! This lightweight product is perfect for removing my sunscreen and makeup at the end of the day before cleansing and also works wonders for cleaning my makeup sponges! As someone with acne prone skin, this product has never caused me issues." —anonymousPrice: $8.97+ (originally $10.29+; available in two sizes) A clear lip balm from Banana Boat that not only keeps lips moisturized but also helps protect them from the sun, thanks to the added SPF 45. Make sure to reapply this balm throughout the day in order to keep your pout shielded from those UV rays. This product is a must-have to keep in your beach bag all summer long! Promising review: "I live in Las Vegas, so sunscreen is a MUST. This lip balm is the perfect blend of protection and moisture that has saved my lips from this dry desert heat. It gives a natural, glossy, moisturized finish. Not sticky like a gloss, but still the right amount of shine. I'm indifferent about the smell. It's not overpowering or too much." —VegasKittenPrice: $3.47 (originally $3.97) An exfoliator from Cetaphil which promises to slough dead skin cells off your face without damaging your skin barrier and drying it out. Thanks to so-called "micro fine granules," this product's formula is said to be compatible with the most sensitive of skin types, so everyone can partake. Promising review: "This scrub is perfect for using in the morning after you've used Tretinoin (Retin-A) overnight. It helps to regenerate the skin cells on your face without making your skin feel raw or overworked. This has become a go-to in my morning routine!" —Mom2HankPrice: $8.97 A snail mucin-based toner from Peach Slices which wears several — three, to be exact — hats: it helps to eliminate acne, supports the skin barrier, and cleans the pores. Snail mucin aims to attract moisture to the skin while hyaluronic acid hydrates and cica serves as a calming agent. It's designed with all skin types in mind and should be used as the second step in your skincare routine after cleansing. Promising review: "I have been spending $50 on toner for the longest time, but a friend recommended this one and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin, and this cleared my face and keeps my acne at bay. It's also very inexpensive. Double win!!!"—RebeccaPrice: $13.88 A vanilla cashmere-scented body oil from Eos for when using moisturizer alone just won't cut it. Shea, argan, and cocoa butters work to improve skin texture and provide moisture. Oh, and we can't forget to mention the fact that it should leave your skin shining bright as a diamond, too. Promising review: "I love this body oil so much. Smells exactly like the lotion, just a concentrated version of the smell that lasts way longer and moisturizes well!" —NataliePrice: $12.99 A pack of 30 pairs of golden under-eye patches from Devimic that purports to juggle several responsibilities: minimize puffiness, reduce the appearance of dark circles, and brighten the complexion. Pop these on when you and your skin are in need of a pick-me-up. Promising review: "These under-eye patches are very simple to use. If you're using them for a self-care routine, I felt like I was pampering myself. They offer good value for the price." —LivingWithDanaPrice: $11.98 (originally $16.99) A sunscreen mist from Neutrogena with SPF 70 which claims to have a "weightless, clean feel" and won't clog pores — a win, win, if you ask us. It also doubles as a body sunscreen, which means that it helps protect you from the sun's UV rays on all your outdoor adventures to the beach, on a hike, or at your family's summer barbecue right in your backyard. Make sure to reapply every two hours while outside, per the American Academy of review: "This is great to keep in my outdoor kit in my classroom. It's quick to spray, not greasy and there is very little smell. I was in the sun for four hours and didn't get burned at all. It was great for field day. Don't spray while standing on a smooth surface or it will become SUPER SLICK." —LesliePrice: $8.88 (originally $9.88) A sensitive skin-friendly moisturizer from Aveeno for when your skin is as dry and irritated as the middle of the desert and needs some extra TLC to get back on track. This gel-based moisturizer vows to keep skin hydrated for up to 24 hours thanks to prebiotic oat that helps quell dryness and heal the skin barrier. Promising review: "I have both rosecea and eczema and this is great for my extremely sensitive skin, which is so hard to find. It leaves it very smooth and soft without feeling oily." —ChelleyMccPrice: $16 (originally $19.70) A multitasking face wash from TruSkin because it not only refreshes the face ahead of a long day but can also help brighten the complexion. Its hero ingredient, vitamin C, works to even out skin tone, get rid of hyperpigmentation, and help fade dark spots. Consider this your sign to swap out your skincare for a product that gives you the benefits of a cleanser and vitamin C serum all in one. Promising review: "Hands down my favorite cleanser. It leaves my face smooth and clean. This is the only one I've found that does not break my face out. Pair it with the vitamin C moisturizer!" —MaryPrice: $16.49 A sweet-smelling moisturizing lotion from Hawaiian Tropic you'll def want on hand this summer because it can help calm redness on the skin after a day spent in the sun. Aloe vera and shea butter serve to revive damaged and irritated skin when you could've sworn you replenished your sunscreen but somehow ended up with a patch of angry red skin when you woke up this morning. Promising review: "We always use this after a day in the sun at the beach. It's a staple in our vacation home. Helps with moisture and is not sticky or greasy feeling and smells refreshing." —Ts17Price: $7.97 A pack of two cherry-flavored lip masks from Vitamasques if you want something that hydrates and plumps your pout. These are perfect for when you're in a hurry getting ready for a first date and want to add a little VA VA VOOM to your kissers. Promising review: "These are perfect for super dry lips. It's like nothing helps, but these are lifesavers. Also, the brand Vitamasque has amazing products that don't irritate or burn when using them. My go-to for face, feet, lip masks, etc." —TiffanyPrice: $5.94 for a two-pack A face wash from Cocokind which transforms from an oil into a milky froth upon contact with water. This baby works to remove all traces of makeup, skincare, and oil without compromising the skin barrier — no harsh scrubbing with makeup wipes needed. Promising review: "This was recommended to my daughter by her dermatologist because it is less drying than micellar water. It removes her makeup well and her skin is looking much better." —NayPrice: $17.98 A body wash from Nativr reviewers love for its ability to clean the skin while also leaving it soft and supple and ready to be shown off in this shorts weather we are in. Promising review: "The skin I'm in has been a nightmare. I have tried everything I can, trying and wasting tons of money to try and help fight the nightmare I have faced with the skin I'm in. Native body wash lets my skin feel soft and wonderful, when for so long my face felt dry and rubbery, uncomfortable, and painful. When I found Native, it changed my skin and the way I feel. Being a woman and feeling awful because your skin is super sensitive to ingredients makes it so that you want to hide. Native gave me freedom to be a woman, feeling soft and subtle on my face and body. When the skin I'm in feels good, I feel encouraged to get dressed, put on makeup, and face the day fresh-faced, knowing Native has me covered head to toe in luxurious comfort with smells that make you feel and look pretty. Native has your skin feeling its best and smelling wonderful too, and all of this with fewer ingredients than many to most other brands, and good ingredients, and none of the harsh parabens or sulphates that can be damaging to you and the environment. Native is worth the money, and your skin will thank you for it!" —CrystalPrice: $2.97 A lip scrub from Tree Hut that is said to banish dead skin cells in seconds. Apply the product on the areas of the lip where needed, then rub it off with the pad of your finger or a wet cloth. This small but mighty tube will come in handy during scorching summers when you're spending nearly every minute of the day under the AC. Promising review: "Really good! You do have to scrub kinda hard to get dead skin off." —SophiaPrice: $6.97 A tinted sunscreen from Eucerin with SPF 50 — *drops mic.* Oh, you wanted more? Okay, well, this magical product promises to play well under your makeup, leave zero whitecast (thanks, tinted-sunscreen science), and, on days when you want to skip a full face, it can even serve as all you wear to brunch with friends. Promising review: "I love how moisturized my face is after applying. I love the glowy look it gives my skin!" —BrookePrice: $15.88 A calming face wash from Burt's Bees vows to provide a gentle cleanse to the most sensitive of skin types. This cream-based cleanser calls on soothing agent aloe vera to prevent irritation. And if you're looking for more proof that this product is sensitive skin-safe, it's also been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, which is, uh, a pretty big deal in the world of skincare. Promising review: "I like how gentle this face cleanser is on my skin. It feels soft and leaves my skin feeling moisturized." —jnislyPrice: $8.76 A customizable tanning serum from Jergens so you can add a bronzed tint to your skin — no sun exposure required. All you need to do is mix five to 15 drops into your daily moisturizer, and voila, you have a tan! Five drops will give you a light, beaming glow, while 15 will leave you looking full-on bronzed. Your bronzer can take a backseat — for erm, like, forever — now that you have this in your back pocket. Promising review: "I love the idea of this! Other tanning products make me orange, but this does not. It is very customizable as you add however many drops you want. It's affordable, smells nice, and has a pleasant texture. I have used this on my face a few times and it has not broke me out either. Give this a try if you are looking at it!!" —CaseyPrice: $13.47 A face oil from Derma-E reviewers say is a game changer when it comes to tackling fine lines. Retinol, vitamin E, and sea buckthorn oils work in tandem to minimize the appearance of fine lines and promote skin cell turnover, respectively. Promising review: "This is a great oil that absorbs beautifully. I love it. It smells nice too. Very faint but lovely. I have recently begun using oils instead of lotions as moisturizer and let me tell you, its a game changer. Its a whole different game actually." —JenniferPrice: $15 (originally $18.99) An over-the-counter acne gel treatment from Differin that may have you seeing an improvement in your skin as early as one week — now THAT'S magical. This potent acne treatment uses adapalene — aka a prescription-strength retinoid — that focuses on counteracting clogged pores and inflammation. Promising review: "I have had acne since I was roughly 16 years old. I have tried everything under the sun, and some things worked better than others while some just stunk and stung. So you have to imagine my reaction when Differin was put on the market. Seemed expensive for so little and it probably didn't work. Well I was wrong. It's one of the best treatments I've used. You have to stay the course and use it consistently. I recommend it for mild to moderate acne. I don't know how effective it would be against more severe cases. I do believe that with consistent use it is very good at alleviating milder conditions." —BarbaraPrice: $23.97 (originally $25.98) A face wash from CeraVe for dry skin types because it not only cleans your pores but also — you guessed it! — quenches your skin's thirst for hydration. It claims to keep skin moisturized for up to 24 hours thanks to hydrating hyaluronic acid and skin barrier-supporting ceramides. Promising review: "I have used CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for many years. I love that it thoroughly cleans my face but doesn't leave it feeling tight and dry. If I happen to run out and have to use a different cleanser or soap, I can see and feel the difference on my skin. It is definitely a product I count on and won't do without." —KimPrice: $13.68+ (available in two sizes) A pack of 14 nose and face pore strips from Bioré which are said to get out all the awful gunk lodged in your pores within 10 minutes. Not only will your pores be relieved of all that dirty buildup, but you'll also get the satisfaction of seeing it up close... if you're into that. ;) Promising review: "Been using these for years. I tried cheaper brands but they never seem to work as well. I've tried masks and potions and if it's cheap I've probably tried it but these are finally affordable at Walmart and a guilty splurge for me in the hot summers when my pores look bigger and blackheads abound with all the extra sunscreen I wear." —ePrice: $9.94 A thick, rich moisturizer from Pond's that supposedly satisfies the complexions of those with the driest of skin types. In fact, it has been a favorite for generations, way before the dawn of TikTok. The rich cream maintains that it doesn't clog pores, either — a win-win in our book. Promising review: "Years ago I decided to commit to a moisturizer (I have dry skin) that I could maintain in every financial and weather season. This is it. People say my skin looks great. I use Ponds cleanser and moisturizer every day." —AnonymousPrice: $8.98 Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
