I think it did a GREAT job of soaking up the oil on my nose and forehead, much better than any pressed or loose mattifying powders I use. The (picture on the right) is after I danced Lindy Hop, Shag, AND Balboa (all fairly rigorous dance lexicons in the swing dance family) for three hours in a hot crowded bar that had to be at least 90 degrees inside. According to my Fakebit, I did 20,000 steps that night so I REALLY put this stuff to the hardest test I could manufacture!

It's beloved by athletes who are constantly sweating, medical professionals who have to wear face masks, and teens experiencing their first breakouts.

I have combination skin type: oily t zone and overall dry skin, and it works for my skin. The best part is that it has SPF 30 in it. My dermatologist does not stop stressing the importance of daily use of SPF on the face, so now I'm happy I can still cover up my pimples and protect my skin from harsh UV rays from the sun. It doesn't feel heavy on my face and doesn't make it look like I caked on a pound of foundation. I have used it for about three weeks already and have not noticed an increase in pimples or skin irritation." —DavisGet it from Amazon for $6.28.

Lasts a long time, doesn't smudge when dry, and when I think I need to reapply, I can just put a new coat over it and it looks good as new. Love it!" —ShawnGet it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in seven shades). Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam contains BHA, triple hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and heartleaf.

This 36-hour wear mascara has provitamin B5 to promote growth while a slim, flexible applicator caters to every lash.

Promising review: "I just have to brag about this product. I have always applied eyeshadow by starting with concealer as a base, setting with powder, then eyeshadow. I broke my dominant arm a while back, and blending became very difficult for me. I had never used liquid shadow before because I assumed it would be difficult to work with — messy, sticky, tacky, etc. This product gave me the ability to do eyeshadow again while I had very limited mobility. I swear, you barely have to manipulate it for it to blend seamlessly. Anyone with any skill level can make this product blend into the skin flawlessly. It doesn't dry too quickly, but once it does, it is totally dry and doesn't leave tackiness. While I was struggling badly with my limited mobility, this product allowed me to do my makeup again and feel like myself with very little effort, which was all I could give at the time. I am so grateful I had this product during one of the hardest times of my life. I was very dependent on others for almost every other thing I had to do, but with this product, doing my makeup was something I was capable of, and it made my healing journey more bearable." —carleycGet it from Ulta for $16 (available in 31 colors).

Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel uses an impressive caffeine blend to de-puff your peepers (despite the amount of beauty sleep you're getting)! And listen, luxe eye creams such as this one usually cost around a trillion dollars, so finding a holy grail item like this for ~$16 is basically like striking gold. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder sets makeup for a flawless, lightweight finish that truly lasts all day long. This is great for beginners because it won't leave behind a white cast, the kind you'd have to blend and blend (and blend) for it to go away. If you've been contemplating splurging on those high-end, high-budget setting powders for a long time — don't. This is the perfect this cult-favorite powder sets makeup has over 4,000 positive reviews. I'm not going to outright SAY that your beauty routine is suffering without it, review: "I am totally blown away by this product!

They're infused with salicylic acid and white willow bark to exfoliate and lavender extract to soothe. Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner takes dull, uneven skin and leads it to greener pastures (*insert idyllic farm image here*). Peony extract and licorice water brighten and, drumroll por favor — it absorbs quickly! No grease. No stick. Apply this before moisturizer to make sure all that goodness gets locked in. Promising review: "I have rosacea, and this tonic leaves my skin soft, glowy, and hydrated. I absolutely recommend it." —Regina I. Get it from Soko Glam for $18. Valitic Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap Bars are chock-full of vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and turmeric to tackle hyperpigmentation with a vengeance. And the best part? It's great for sensitive skin, too: hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, and olive oil ensure your moisture barrier stays protected. Bio-Oil is a decades-old favorite that can tackle a whole swell of skincare concerns: it can fade scars, help prevent stretch marks, soothe cracked and dry skin, and intensely moisturize. And that's due to an impressive ingredient list of vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender that over 50,000 reviewers swear by.

My face normally gets very dry in the winter, but since I began using this serum it has been a lot better. It seemed like such a tiny bottle when I got it, but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I've been using it for several months now and still have half a bottle left." — Michelle Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in different sizes/styles). 21.

Take it from someone with skin the color of printer paper — nothing helps reduce redness better than a touch of green! This lightly tinted cream is designed to combat that blotchy redness while protecting your skin from the sun with a useful daily SPF 50. Check it out on TikTok here. Promising review: " I have a really uneven skin tone, which is always accentuated in the morning. I don't like putting makeup on when I wake up, and after seeing this on TikTok (I know I'm not alone in that), I bought it to see if it works, and OMG, it's amazing. A little goes a long way, I put on sunscreen and dab this on my face and like magic, my skin looks even… even lessening [my] puffy under-eye! I never write reviews but I had to for this. It will forever be a part of my daily routine!" — Sara R. Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes). 22. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll absorb excess oil on your face as you swipe it away *without* ruining your makeup. Now that this exists, there's no better product to have in your bag when the summer sun brings back your extra oily skin. Oil blotting sheets WISH they were this sexy. Keep your makeup looking great all day with this OG TikTok beauty sensation. To clean, you'll just pop out the stone roller and give it a quick hand wash under the sink. Once it's dry, it's ready to use for the next day! Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $7.50. 23.

Use this as the first step of your cleansing routine, and then just rinse with water. Watch your blackheads disappear so quickly that they won't even have a chance to say goodbye. Aww, sad. As with all skincare products, if you're acne-prone YMMV, depending on the cause of your acne. Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; It's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!!

Promising review:"These patches work great, I could see the difference just after a few uses. They stick really well and stay on all night. They feel cool and soothing, and I love how easy they are to use. Highly recommend!" — M. Brinson Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $18.04 (available in three styles). 25. A vegan ingrown hair oil sure to save the day (and your bikini line) if shaving on sensitive parts of your body leads to inflammation and breakouts that are more bothersome than the hair was. Not only does it address that inflammation, but the spiffy mix of jojoba and grapeseed oil moisturizes and softens your skin to keep it nourished. Swimsuit season, here we come! 26.

Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops, but they haven't worked as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day, and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves a dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — 아미 Get it from Amazon for $22. 27.

Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. And BTW, it becomes translucent when your skin has finished absorbing the product, which makes it easy to know when it can come off! Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala Get a set of four from Amazon for $19 (available in two pack sizes and three formulas).
