21 Viral Beauty Products From Amazon
In case you didn't know, Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here's a selection of beauty finds that are so beloved by reviewers, it's safe to say they're *definitely* worth the hype: An LA Girl HD concealer reviewers say works just as well as higher-end options from MAC, Kosas, and Nars while being under $10. A little goes a long way to provide excellent coverage for dark circles and hyperpigmentation, and it's easy to apply and blend with a brush or fingers. A nifty marshmallow whip maker capable of performing one neat magic trick: turning your regular cleanser into an irresistibly fluffy foam. Simply add a smidge of your favorite cleanser, a splash of water, and pump away until you've got a cloud-like concoction. Not only does this make washing your face feel fun, but it's also a savvy way to get your products to last a very long time. A beautiful Coppertone shimmer sunscreen spray that'll make you twinkle like a vampire from Twilight (if they ever left rainy Forks, WA, to go sunbathe on a Miami beach instead). This spray contains SPF 30 and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. And a dry oil Supergoop glow stick with SPF 50 and PA++++ that can be used on the face, chest, and shoulders for ample sun protection *and* a highlighting glow — one reviewer even said this made them look like a dewy diamond. It's recommended to use after your moisturizer to lock in hydration! A set of reusable Glamnetic press-on nails for anyone who dreads sitting in the salon for hours and spending an arm and a leg just for nails. These nail sets are not only pretty and stylish, but also durable and easy to apply. Your nails will look like they took two hours to do, when in reality they only took under 30 minutes. A jar of Egyptian Magic that I'm positive every single person reading this right now can find at least one use for in their everyday life. Reviewers have used this natural, all-purpose balm for just about everything: scar treatment, tattoo aftercare, diaper rashes, psoriasis and eczema relief, to help fade stretch marks, as a lip balm, as a makeup remover (???) — the list goes on. A lightweight E.L.F Camo CC cream ready to become your summer staple, because it enhances your natural beauty while evening out your skin tone with its color-correcting magic. And with SPF 30 in the formula, you're staying sun-smart in addition to looking fabulous! It hydrates for that plumped-up, dewy look and leaves you with an enviable airbrushed finish. A bottle of Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant useful for clearing out pores and evening your skin's texture and tone. It's gentle enough to use daily, unlike those other gritty face scrubs that feel like you're sandblasting your skin. A Pure Instinct Roll-On that supposedly blends with your skin's pH, creating a scent that's as individual as you are. Disclaimer: Even if you don't have people swooning at your feet like you're in a rom-com, you'll at least receive compliments on its fruity-floral scent. Magic shaving powder if you have coarse, textured body hair, and no matter how many different razors and creams you try, nothing seems to remove it all. This practically melts hair away in minutes, reduces razor bumps (since this is a razorless option), and leaves your skin silky smooth. This stuff is STRONG, so be sure to follow all the directions and patch test, and once again, only use if you have thick and coarse textured hair. A Milk Hydro primer with the grip strength of a toddler who just found their favorite snack. This wonder product dries down to a fabulously grippy consistency, practically "gluing" your makeup in place while also hydrating your skin and leaving a dewy finish. A Nyx instant brow styler if Cara Delevingne has been on your Pinterest inspo board since high school. With just a few swipes, this magical potion will give your brows that extra *oomph* and hold them in place for 16 hours with no flakiness or icky white residue! Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops so you can give your skin that sun-kissed vibe without baking under actual rays. Just add a few drops to your face moisturizer or lotion, and you'll get a radiant glow. It comes in three options: light for a sunkissed glow, medium for a golden tan, or dark for a deep bronze tan. The more drops you add, the deeper of a tan you'll get. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub — with the combined power of glycolic and lactic acids, your skin will be left feeling fresh and rejuvenated with a radiant glow. This product is typically used to help with keratosis pilaris (or "chicken skin"), but reviewers say it was also able to help with their body acne. E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, a lightweight base that won't have you feeling like you're wearing a mask all day. This primer also has a blurring effect that reduces the appearance of pores and gives you a velvety smooth canvas for your makeup. Or a multitasking Nyx primer packing a punch of benefits so robust, you'll wonder how it all fits into one sleek bottle. It smoothes, softens, hydrates, soothes, evens tone, minimizes texture, blurs lines, adds a soft focus finish, keeps makeup fresh, annndd extends your makeup wear all day. The pale pink tint brightens your complexion, and reviewers note a subtle sweet scent that they absolutely love. LilyAna Naturals eye cream so you'll look more like you got a full eight hours of sleep (even if you only got three). With restorative ingredients like rosehip seed oil, organic hibiscus flower extracts, and vitamin E, this cream helps tackle dark circles, fine lines, and puffy under-eye bags — and a little goes a long way, so you won't need to break the bank to see results. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that works so well to mattify greasy skin and control midday shine WITHOUT disturbing your makeup, you'll never need to buy a pack of blotting papers again. It's also compact so you can keep one in your purse, car, office get the point. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Powder Foundation if you want a foundation that's easy to apply and doesn't leave you looking cakey. It goes on super smoothly, and you won't have to worry about any weird streaks or patches. This foundation also lasts all day, so you don't have to do any touch-ups (unless you want to, of course). A splurge-worthy Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face Serum if you've been searching for a one-and-done holy grail product that basically renews your skin during your beauty sleep. With the combined powers of *seven* serums, this offers visible line reduction, firmness, a more even skin tone, strengthening, hydration, radiance, and antioxidant protection. A six-pack of Ardell demi wispies that create a dreamy, fluttery effect designed to make your eyes pop. Thanks to the undetectable thin invisiband, people will be asking who's behind your fabulous lashes — little do they know, it's all thanks to this pack from Amazon!

54 Beauty Products That Actually Deliver Results
Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil reviewers swear by to nourish their scalps, strengthening and promoting hair growth at the root. It's formulated with biotin, moisturizing oils like jojoba, plus rosemary and mint oils, which can help stimulate the scalp. A butt acne-clearing lotion formulated with tea tree oil to fight pimple-causing bacteria, helping clear existing acne and helping to prevent it from coming back in the long run. Reviewers use it on their thighs and back too and say this lotion helps their skin feel suuuper soft! L'Occitane's fast-absorbing shea butter hand cream, because if you have dry, cracked hands or just hate the feeling of papery hands post-washing when you're on the go, you need this lil' guy in your bag. And reviewers agree there's no overly greasy feeling after, either! A bottle of CND SolarOil, a nail and cuticle oil to moisturize and condition your skin and nails, helping with growth (no peeling!) and keeping cuticles nourished and soft, no matter how much hand sanitizer you're using. Just massage in the jojoba oil and vitamin E–infused formula daily. Bonus: the sweet almond oil in it smells *so* good. Or if you're not a fan of oils, Hard as Hoof nail-strengthening cream that can help prevent splitting, peeling, and cracking *and* conditions cuticles to help your nails grow longer and stronger than ever. I can hear your newly long nails tapping on something, ASMR-style already. Kosas's Revealer Concealer — a super popular and splurge-worthy pick thanks to its skincare benefits (hello caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and peptides) and brightening, buildable coverage, making it perfect for spot concealing on no-makeup days or using as part of a full face of makeup. Or for a drugstore option, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer, the cult-fave reviewers have used for *years* for a reason — it brightens your under eyes without creasing while treating them with goji berry and haloxyl — plus, it'll last even LONGER than Tarte's Shape Tape and other expensive brands. And if you're looking for *extra* brightening, Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which is renowned for being very similar to the Becca Under-Eye Corrector ($33), for *less than 1/5 of the price!* The peachy-orange tones of the color-correcting shades cancel out dark circles instantly, whether you pair with a concealer or wear alone. CeraVe Retinol Serum that lives up to the CeraVe name and uses *encapsulated* retinol to reduce the appearance of scars and pores without flaking or redness. If you haven't gotten into retinoids yet or are worried about irritating your skin, this gentle but effective serum is a great option — and reviewers say they like it better than other, more expensive options (like Murad's Retinol Serum, which retails for $92). Speaking of CeraVe, their eye repair cream, which is formulated with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin — as well as the blend of ceramides CeraVe is best known for. Tl;dr: reviewers say a few pats of this eye cream can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. NYX Brow Glue, an extreme hold eyebrow gel (up to 16 hours!) to keep your brow hairs in place alllll day long, especially if you like that "laminated" look. Reviewers agree the hold is great, the formula doesn't flake off, and that it also washes off easily — and is a great alternative to ABH Brow Freeze, too! Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask you can wear overnight for a serious boost of hydration, firming, and brightening — even reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Reviewers say they noticed a difference in just one use *and* that people stopped to compliment their skin! Btw, once you wake up and see where the mask has become transparent, you'll know the serum is absorbed — how cool is that? Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — it's not only your face that deserves a skincare routine! This is formulated with salicylic acid for chemically exfoliating that delicate skin (without harsh scrubbing) plus glycerine and aloe for plenty of hydration. Reviewers are surprised at the results they get but note that it does take time. So don't forget to take a before photo, and get to slathering! A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment — an intense at-home protein coating mask that can help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair, is what I'm saying. Some reviewers say it's even BETTER than Olaplex, which is over three times the price! A Briotech spray with the same magical ingredient as the very beloved Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray: hypochlorous acid (something our body produces naturally as part of our immune system!). Just spritz it on whenever your skin needs a little de-stressing, and it'll help soothe inflammation, tone down redness, and strengthen your skin's barrier. Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream that'll define curls and add hold (*without* the dreaded crunchiness). The argan oil-infused formula is designed to help fight frizz so your hair can bounce along healthily behind you, whether you have anything from loose waves to tight spirals — and it's safe on colored hair! Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, a cult-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E. Mighty Patch Pimple Patches, which absorb pus and oil from *inside* the zit, protecting skin from further damage and reinfection so you're not tempted to hot compress, pop, ooze, scar, and repeat. They also come in an ~invisible~ version that (as someone who has used them) is indeed surprisingly hard to see. Or a Mighty Patch hydrocolloid nose patch that targets your whole nose all at once, absorbing gunk and oil from multiple pimples and pores all at once and trapping it so you can toss it right in the trash. Say goodbye to those damaging adhesive nose strips once and for all! My all-time desert island holy grail, CeraVe's Skin Renewing night cream, which delivers on hydration and softness and protects your skin's natural barrier — I won't use an expensive night cream again. It's fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (aka it's designed not to clog pores), and it's packed with powerhouse ingredients like ceramides, peptides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. There's a reason people can't stop talking about CeraVe on TikTok! I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder — it comes packaged in an easy-to-apply, perfect-for-travel powder puff applicator you just tap-tap-tap onto your hair. Just massage the ultra-fine powder into your roots (it's formulated with black ginseng and biotin btw!), and it'll quickly absorb excess oil, leaving you with volumized and refreshed-looking hair. Bioderma micellar water, the perfect addition to your double cleansing routine — it removes allllll your makeup and excess oil without harsh scrubbing or irritating sensitive skin. Now you'll know you've actually removed your sunscreen and makeup before bed — without having to use those aggressive makeup wipes. Or Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, a K-beauty cleanser great if you're looking for something a little more heavy-duty. Just apply to dry skin and gently massage, then emulsify with water to dissolve makeup and sunscreen and remove sebum and the day's grime, leaving your skin refreshed but not stripped. Reviewers *swear* by it for helping reduce blackheads and sebaceous filaments, too! And after that first cleanse, CeraVe's Hydrating Facial Cleanser, which lives up to the CeraVe name, with a blend of super hydrating and gentle ingredients including ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. And don't worry that it doesn't foam up — it'll remove all the dirt, grime, and excess oil from your skin, without depleting the moisture. A lightweight Cosrx SPF 50+ sunscreen (the same brand as the TikTok-viral snail mucin!) for anyone who isn't always the best at applying sunscreen (every! day!). This sebum-balancing formula has a moisturizer-like texture, contains skincare ingredients like cacao and vitamin E, feels breathable on the skin, leaves a semi-matte finish, and (reviewers agree!) it doesn't have a white cast, so applying it will feel like less of a chore. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair, a lip sleeping mask from the brand behind the cult-favorite Working Hand and Healthy Feet creams — and just like those borderline miraculous products, reviewers say this balm will heal and repair dry, cracking, chapped lips like no other product has. Skin-lifting, pore-tightening Skin1004 face masks with results that reviewers swear by — not to mention the fact that using them is weirdly fun? The mask tightens as it dries on your face, giving you the titular "zombie" effect (just better more expensive Hanacure). Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula. Radha rosehip oil to not only soften skin and lock in moisture (just like other oils), but also help reduce redness and breakouts, thanks to the rich blend of vitamins A, C, and E, fatty acids and anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Essence's Lash Princess mascara, which over *250,000* 5-star reviewers for dramatic length and volume *without* clumps, thanks to the flake- and gob-free formula and cone-shaped brush. Tons of reviewers say it's a better version of cult-faves like Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. (And even Diorshow!) Cosrx's snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you'll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema! Bio-Oil Multi-Use Skincare Oil, the sworn favorite of thousands of people to moisturize skin, help reduce the appearance of scars, prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and even out skin tone, thanks to the moisturizing blend of oils and vitamins A and E. Londontown's illuminating nail concealer, a sheer but buildable formula that cancels out yellowing or staining, leaving healthy-looking, glowing nails and a little flush of color, which you can also layer for that glazed nail look that's so on trend! Elizabeth Mott's cult favorite Thank Me Later eyeshadow primer to keep your favorite eye makeup look on lock all day AND all night — *no* creasing, *no* budging. That's right, you will NOT have to reapply before your evening plans. Reviewers note it's an affordable alternative to Urban Decay's Primer Potion — the slightly larger size Elizabeth Mott tube is about half the price of Urban Decay's. Vanicream, a sensitive skin-friendly moisturizer free of common irritants (and fragrance free!) reviewers love to use on their face *and* body. The included pump dispenser is great for easy application and avoiding contamination of the jar. Plus, it has the seal of acceptance from the National Eczema Association! The Revlon One-Step Hot Air Brush (now with an upgraded motor) with a unique oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots without having to juggle a brush and blow-dryer. One reviewer says it takes less time to dry than their Dry Bar Brush! Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray, which is a fan-favorite for a reason. It's lightweight and buildable, so you can spray it on as you apply your makeup look, and it will help keep your makeup from budging all day and all night — even up to 16 hours! A bottle of Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with 1% ketoconazole that doesn't just banish annoying flakes, but actually works to kill the fungus that causes dandruff. You can use it just twice a week, too. An exfoliating mitten so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers.

Reviewers say it's a miracle worker for everything from thick, coily hair to the finest strands! La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume, a repairing balm that'll be your new BFF if you've ever dealt with irritated skin. Over-exfoliated your face? Got a peel but went too far? Skin way too dry and nothing is helping? Tried a new mask that did *not* turn out well? This balm has your back.

A diffuser attachment with three adjustable air volumes and a deep bowl design to gently gather your curls and waves, drying them in their natural pattern, reducing frizz, and increasing definition AND shine.

You mayyyy have seen this all over TikTok over the past couple of years, and the reviews back up the hype. Or if you prefer gripping-style primers like Milk Hydro Grip (which reviewers say this is similar to!), E.l.f.'s Power Grip — it's formulated with hyaluronic acid to plump the appearance of skin and designed to *hug* to your makeup for all-day wear. And it's fragrance-free! Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant (all of your favorite skincare TikTokers swear by it) that'll unclog pores, banish dead skin cells, and even out skin tone. It even works on my very allergy-prone, sensitive skin. A whopping 202 reviewers used the word "miracle."

Kosas Launches Plump + Juicy Double Cleansing System
New Kosas cleansers - Plump + Juicy double cleansing system The 'double cleanse,' popularized on TikTok in 2023, isn't just a buzzy skincare term. There's a specific science to it, and Kosas is bringing its importance to the forefront with a cleansing system developed and launched synergistically (on May 1). The new Kosas cleansers include a Plump + Juicy Cushiony Calm Botanical Cleansing Oil ($48) and Plump + Juicy Comfy Clean Gel Cleanser ($38). If full sizes are purchased at once on a free Emi Jay Big Effing Clip in Baby Mauve is included in the bundle. A set of minis can be purchased (sans clip) for $35. 'If you're not double cleansing and you wear makeup, your skin's not clean,' brand founder Sheena Zadeh says about her decision to launch the first-ever Kosas cleansers just for the face. 'There's no way to cut through all the layers of makeup and sunscreen and everything that we wear without using an oil cleanser, because oil dissolves oil. After an oil cleanse, you need a gel cleanser to deeply clarify pores and wash it all away. Both cleansers work together to completely remove makeup and clarify your skin while leaving your face soft, supple and refreshed. Then your skin is really ready for the skincare and makeup that follows.' As a self-proclaimed 'full face of makeup'-lover with acne-prone skin, it was key for Zadeh to launch products that take those components into consideration. While Zadeh opted for oil, the first double cleansing step can also be done with a cleansing balm. 'I was able to clear my skin by cleansing with botanical oils,' she says. 'I'm a firm believer in the power of double cleansing because you're not really cleaning your face unless you double cleanse. I wear makeup just about every day, but even when I don't, I wear mineral sunscreen, so I do double cleanse at the end of every day.' While Zadeh can't take credit for the science behind the magic, she's using Kosas' platform to educate consumers on why this isn't an ordinary cleansing experience. 'A cleansing oil is based on the idea of 'like dissolves like,' ' she explains. 'So it's an essential step in truly breaking down makeup and SPF, while preventing buildup that clogs pores and causes breakouts. A gel cleanser is the step that clarifies pores, washing away residue without stripping the skin. You need both. Together, they give the most deeply cleansed, best-feeling skin that's ready to soak up skincare and stay primed for makeup.' Based on the aftermath of using the new Kosas cleansers, it was a no-brainer for Zadeh to include them in the Plump + Juicy collection. 'I want supple, protected, hydrated skin, which is how these cleansers leave it,' she says. 'It's about getting your face completely cleansed, primed, and ready, so that when you spray on your Plump + Juicy Serum Spray, your skin can really soak it up.' New Kosas cleansers - Plump + Juicy double cleansing system While oils can be risky business depending on your skin type, Zadeh encourages users to be generous with the application of Kosas' ceramide-packed cleansing oil. 'Make sure you saturate the skin,' she advises, adding that your hands and skin should be totally dry for this step . 'Also, use this as an opportunity to massage your face, which is so important as it relaxes tension, improves circulation, and gently sculpts the face, while giving the oil time to break through all layers of makeup and sunscreen.' And, once that step first step in the new Kosas cleansers routine is complete, Zadeh says to add warm water and watch the oil melt away makeup and impurities right before your very eyes. After rinsing, apply the accompanying gel cleanser onto damp skin and massage into a gentle lather. Rinse and pat dry, and 'this step finishes the job of clarifying the skin and pores.'
