27 Sephora Products That Should Be In The Beauty Hall Of Fame
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Beauty that bats 1,000. 1. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, which is more of a skincare serum than it is makeup! This serum blush contains jojoba-coated pigments that, yes, add a cute flush to the skin — but also help moisturize the skin deeply for a dewy, bouncy effect. Sephora Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!! I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you. I want the other color, too, lol!!! It's so glowy and gorgeous; it's definitely worth it. I have never been a Glow Recipe girl, but this is def a worth-it product." — skitty21 2. Saie's Glowy Super Gel to bring the pearl skin trend to the forefront of your beauty routine. This water-based gel is full of hydrating glycerin and squalane to plump the skin, while its reflective properties add a radiant glow to the complexion. Plus, it's super lightweight and multiuse — you can mix it into your moisturizer or foundation, use it as a primer, or quickly apply it to the body for an all-over glow! Sephora Promising review:"This is the best glowy primer and base! Great for my dry skin and keeps me looking healthy and glowy all day long. Highly recommend." — cs1211 3. Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm will wrap your lips in silky hydration that lasts for a while, thanks to shea and murumuru seed butters. It comes in a few semi-sheer colors and leaves behind a chic, glossy (no, not sticky — glossy) finish. Sephora 4. The Inkey List's Salicylic Acid Acne + Blackhead Cleanser so you can say goodbye to comedones once and for all. This is perfect for anyone who is looking to minimize oil production in their T-zone (thanks to salicylic acid 2%) while soothing the skin (hi, allantoin 0.5%). Sephora Promising review:"I love this product so much! I'm already on my third bottle, and my skin has cleared up so much." — izzy6760 5. Patrick Ta's Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo contains all of Patrick Ta's secrets for long-lasting wear. You're supposed to use the powder bronzer first and then "set" it with the crème contour — this creates a dewier finish than if you were to use crème then powder while still offering a bronzed-goddess-glow that lasts all day. Sephora Promising review:"LOVE this contour! The pigment is amazing and blends so nicely on my skin. It plays well with my other makeup and gives me a nice contour. Both the crème and the powder are AMAZING!" — CaseyMarie123 6. Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals, because it's the first cool-toned palette that has made my jaw drop in years. This is the palette if you've done your seasonal color analysis and need something neutral for your winter or summer undertones. Sephora Promising review:"I loved the original master mattes and its formula so I was very excited for this! It's basically a cooler version of the original, and it's become a new everyday staple. The formula and colors are everything I could've wanted!" — Nanulul 7. Gisou's Honey Infused Hair Oil allows you to hydrate, eliminate frizz, smooth your hairstyle, and add a sweet honey scent all at once. Plus, it works for all hair types, be it fine, thick, coarse, straight, wavy, curly, or coily! Sephora Promising review:"This is the best hair oil I've used so far!! My hair was a bit frizzy and just not laying right one night, and I applied this hair oil, and it completely changed the look and feel of my hair! So so much better than before!" — meredith08 8. Sephora Collection's Outrageous Plump Hydrating Lip Gloss because you deserve to enjoy pillowy-soft and plump lips with a high dose of gloss and a touch of color. Sephora Promising review:"All-time favorite!! I keep buying this worldwide whenever I walk into Sephora! It's the perfect shade, and I use it a lot. Prefer it to some other higher end products." — lanzikens 9. Nécessaire's The Body Wash, aka everything you need to turn your showers into a spa-like experience. This body wash contains AHAs, BHAs, *and* PHAs to gently exfoliate, and calming hinoki oil to ensure skin feels nourished after every wash — not tight! Sephora Promising review:"I've been using the eucalyptus one for years and thought I loved it, but after this, I'm never going back. The scent is divine. I've already tried to find perfume and candles with hinoki. It also works. I had some uneven skin on my chest that's totally cleared up. New holy grail for me." — meesh22 10. Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides, because TikTokers can't stop raving about the otherworldly radiance they get from this product. If you want the look of a bronzy glow without the sun damage, this is the product for you. Sephora Promising review:"Babes, honestly buy it. Love the bronze look, and it blends perfectly with a moisturizer. Also, if you're debating over the price, it's worth it. Mine has lasted over a year I still have product left. Like, it's shocking me!" — LadyLondon4 11. Olaplex's No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector so you can restore your hair back to its natural glory! This product contains Olaplex's Bond Building Technology, which repairs bonds that break due to things like heat styling, color damage, or chemical services. Sephora Promising review:"If you have curly hair (mine is 3b, 3c), this is a MUST have. I had heat damage, and it brought my curls back to life! I personally keep two bottles at home at a time because it's just that good." — raquelll97 12. Youth To The People's Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial because it's what I rely on whenever I need a facial-like glow in an instant — and I'll never stop recommending it to anyone willing to listen. In a quick TWO MINUTES (you read that right), this facial uses active enzymes, micro-exfoliants, and caffeine to whisk away dead skin cells and help radiate the skin. Sephora Promising review:"I really love this facial scrub. I was worried that it would be too abrasive on my skin, but it wasn't. It scrubs away my dead skin without causing irritation, unlike some other similar products. I also love the smell and the way my skin feels afterward. I follow it up with a few moisturizers and my skin is glowing. Happy I gave it a try!" — Lizzy2025 13. Make Up For Ever's Artist Color Pencil so you can line your lips, fill in your brows, or create dimension around your eyes, all with the same pencil! This multiuse pencil is a makeup lover's dream and comes in a high-impact, buttery formula. Sephora 14. Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow. Sephora Promising review:"I love this sunscreen! Goes on beautifully and blends in without a white cast. Tried cheaper ones, but nothing compares! Amazing to combat Florida sun and my sensitive Tretinoin skin." — vanillakisses 15. Merit's Great Skin Instant Glow Serum that's chock full of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help brighten and hydrate the skin in a few swipes. It's the perfect prep product for your five-minute makeup routine. Sephora Promising review: "I decided to try this based on the reviews, and I am so impressed. What a great find! I am so pleased with the results and the difference in how my skin looks. This serum leaves skin soft, smooth, and supple. It goes on easily and has no scent. I can use this with other products or alone. It truly does what it says. Love it!" — frangerine 17. Dieux's Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream has ceramides to plump all skin types — even sensitive skin! This cream is one of my go-tos for when my thirsty, redness-prone skin is in desperate need of a surge of moisture. Sephora Promising review:"This is my first review ever because this product is just that amazing! I have extremely dry skin, so it's hard to find a moisturizer that works for me. This lotion is AMAZING!! And I can feel the difference!" — nx6791 18. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, which contains glycolic acid, one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids to help melt away dullness and dead skin cells. To help offset any irritation, this formula includes Tasmanian pepperberry derivative plus aloe vera to help instantly soothe the skin. Sephora Promising review:"I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It's been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially with helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It's gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" — alimka14 19. Davines' Solu Clarifying Shampoo is my absolute favorite for getting rid of gunk on my scalp and strands that accumulate throughout the week. This gorgeous-smelling formula contains buckwheat extract, which is chock full of amino acids and antioxidants to help fortify and protect your hair from environmental stressors. Sephora Promising reviews:"Leaves my thick color-processed hair so light and soft, and my scalp feels less oily. I wash my hair 2–3 times a week on swim days and use lots of leave-in treatments. This works way better than shampoos to dechlorinate and clarify." — LottaLei 20. Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder so you can rock #CloudSkin, no matter what. This super-fine powder helps blur the skin without looking too cakey and helps reduce oil production throughout the day! Sephora Promising review:"Blurs the skin beautifully and makes my skin look so smooth. Great for setting my eyes as well. Prevents creasing and stays in place all day. This is my go-to pressed powder!" — SunnyD418 21. Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, because this is one of the best blushes for adding intense color while feeling weightless on the skin. Seriously, just one teensy drop is enough to add a flush to both cheeks, and it lasts for hours. Sephora Promising review:"I love this blush. I usually go for powder blush, and I was scared to try liquid blush, but I'm amazed with the results. Easy to blend and has a good amount of pigment. Would highly recommend." — gursimran13 22. Laneige's Bouncy + Firm Sleeping Mask just in case slugging with Vaseline may be too much for you, but you still want something thicc to soak into your skin overnight. This mask contains a proprietary peony and collagen complex to help increase skin firmness, hydro-melt glow capsules to help support the lipid barrier, and hyaluronic acid for a boost in hydration. Sephora Promising review:"I struggle with keeping up with a skincare routine, so I was looking for a product to 'do it all.' I just use one other serum and this sleeping mask at night, and I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin. Definitely will repurchase." — tcmchelen 23. Clinque's Almost Lipstick in "black honey" that will go down in beauty history as one of the most versatile lip shades. This color looks amazing on practically everyone *and* it has an emollient-rich formula that creates a balmy, shiny finish. Sephora Promising review:"This is my go-to lipstick whenever I want a pretty sheer dark cherry lip. I can describe it as biting into a cherry and having residue on your lips. I love it; it's my third time buying it." — jacquelineb25 24. Ouai's St. Bart's Hair and Body Mist, because you deserve to smell like you're on a bougie vacation, even while you're stuck in your office. You can use this as the final part of your hair routine for locks that smell fresh all day, or spritz it onto your bod whenever you need a fragrance reset. Sephora Promising review:"Smells amazing. This product smells like you're on a private island sipping coconut water out of a coconut on the beach with a bowl of fruit sitting next to you. Very distinct smell, and I promise it lasts all day long." — beachpreppy 26. Dae's Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream will make it quick and easy to lay your edges or create a slicked-back bun that lasts for hours. While other waxes can leave hair feeling crunchy, this styling cream contains dragon fruit and prickly pear seed oil to help lock in moisture and create a lustrous shine. Sephora Promising review:"I absolutely love this wand. It does a good job of holding my thick hair back when I do hairstyles. Even when I leave my hair out, I like to run the wand on my ends to smoothen them. And it smells so good. I was thinking about what new hair perfume to buy since my Gisou perfume is running out, but I realized that this product also works as a hair scent. It's so multifunctional, making it well worth the price." — kaziana Price: $18 27. And Dr. Jart+'s Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mask, because sometimes using a mask doesn't have to mean getting your fingers messy with a goopy formula. This sheet mask comes pre-soaked with ingredients like ceramide NP, glycerin, and panthenol to help nourish the skin barrier and calm the skin. Sephora Promising review:"This is honestly the best mask I've tried. My skin was irritated, red, and dry after trying a new exfoliator, but after this mask, my skin was instantly hydrated and glowing. This mask repaired my skin barrier within a couple of hours, and I am SO impressed with how great it improved my skin. One hundred percent a need for a compromised skin barrier." — Teynika Price: $10 The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

27 Things From Sephora You Shouldn't Wait Until Your Birthday To Treat Yourself To
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. "Happy birthday to me" I say three months after my birthday has passed. 1. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray locks in your look to ensure that humidity, sweat, and tears become irrelevant to the status of your foundation. This prevents makeup from turning into a runny mess and somehow landing on the collar of your shirt. Tap to play GIF BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes says:"I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking several trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use, I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, several meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying several times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non -waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray." Promising review:"When I started using this almost a year ago, I never knew how good setting sprays could be. This legit keeps my full face on for over 10 hours, and I love using it!" — ekramo 2. Patrick Ta Crème & Powder Blush Duo means you won't have to choose between purchasing two blush formulas: simply wear both. This is a derivative of makeup artist (and brand founder) Patrick's cream-over-powder blush technique that leaves a pigmented, luminous, long-lasting finish that won't fade by lunchtime. Sephora Promising review:"When I tell you Patrick Ta blushes are the only blushes you will EVER need to buy. They are super pigmented and will last forever." — Carolina625 3. Replica From the Garden Perfume captures the earthy, woody atmosphere of springtime in a bottle, transporting you to the idyllic countryside cottages (complete with ducks, ponds, the works) that you salivate over on Instagram. All it takes is a spritz of this tomato leaf, green mandarin, and patchouli trifecta. Sephora Promising review:"I LOVE this fragrance. It's enthralling and complex; it has an almost musky scent of dirt and tomato leaves in the best way, with a spicy yet floral undertone. It ages like a fine wine on my skin and layers so well with my perfume oils. It's as if the sound of cicadas on a warm summer evening were turned into a smell, and I couldn't love it more." — ventoaureo444 4. Dyson's Airwrap Multi-Styler uses air (yes, you read that right) to dry and style tresses with minimal heat damage and frizz. It comes with six attachments to nail the salon-worthy look of your dreams: a pre- and post-styling dryer, two smoothing brushes, *and* two sizes of curling barrels. Dyson Promising reviews:" WORTH EVERY PENNY. I LOVE MY DYSON. This hairstyling tool is beyond perfect! I can straighten, curl, and tame flyaways with just this product alone! Gives me the perfect blowout every time I use it." — alysonnicolee 5. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is a forever TikTok darling for its ability to smooth, blur, and prime, with a barely there feel that rivals your most lightweight moisturizer. It provides a complexion boost when worn on its own but can also be layered under full-coverage foundation (and no, it won't pill). Sephora Promising review:"This is my favorite makeup product. It is lightweight and gives a bright glow. Never cakey. It easily blends in and gives me the exact coverage I'm looking for." — AshleyLauren18 6. Olaplex No. 3 Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment works like a time machine to repair strands back to their glory days in as little as 10 minutes by working beneath the cuticle to smooth and strengthen the feel and appearance of your hair. The split-up with split ends and flyaways? Officially done. Sephora, Sephora Promising review:"My hair was damaged from use of heat tools and became unmanageable, but after watching a 'Sephora Must-Haves' Video on TikTok, something told me to try it! So I did! Oh man, how I've seen a major difference after using this product! This is just my second time using it (same bottle). Yes, it's only 100 ml, but it's so worth the money. I use it as an overnight mask and wash it in the morning! I have never been so happy with results." — michelleelee Price: $30 7. Dior Lip Glow Oil can be filed in your makeup bag as a balm-gloss hybrid, with cherry oil to nurture and add a lustrous, pigmented shine available in clear, corals, poppy, and more. The minty-vanilla scent is refreshing and the oversized applicator is a dose of luxury with each application. Promising reviews: "What really drew me in was the huge doe foot applicator, which feels like a soft cushion on my lips. I do agree that it's overpriced, but for me, this is a luxury product that I'm happy to pay for." — Sephora Customer "This is by far my favorite lip oil I own! The brush feels so nice on the lips. It doesn't feel sticky at all! And the colors look gorgeous on the lips!" — Sephora Customer 8. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil blends nourishing honey, coconut oil, and almond oil for a multitude of reasons: taming frizz and flyaways, adding shine to pre- and post-styled hair, *and* infusing strands with quick-absorbing hydration — the kind that won't weight down your tresses or make them look oily. Sephora Promising reviews:"Perfect for curls! I was a bit skeptical about this hair oil because I have never found an oil that works for my fine 3a curls, but this is the best hair oil on the market! It hydrates the hair and leaves it shiny but not weighed down or greasy. Plus, the smell is to die for. I wish I had tried this oil sooner!" — Louiebylizzie " Thumbs up for fine, thin hair. I really like this oil. I don't use much, one drop is plenty for me... This is the first and only oil I've used that gives my hair beautiful SHINE without weighing it down, just soft bouncy shiny healthy hair...I've tried tons of hair oils over the years, and this one is my favorite." — Lernzy "Not so oily, which helps a lot, especially with my 4c hair. Smells really good…and improves shine for long hours." — oasare 9. Crown Affair Refillable Dry Shampoo convinces the world that your hair is, in fact, freshly washed (even when a questionable amount of days have passed since your last proper shampoo). Simply apply this talc-free powder directly to your roots via the included kabuki brush. Sephora Promising review:"Travel-friendly dry shampoo with a nice scent. Bought this on vacation after forgetting to pack dry shampoo. Normally, I cannot stand the overpowering smell of most dry shampoos, but this one is clean and more subtle. I like the brush, as it allows me to target my roots without wasting product. Works great on my thick hair without weighing it down or making it feel powdery." — gaga23 10. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner calms irritated complexions with soothing watermelon extract and cactus water, using glycerin to lock in moisture. The cherry on top of this skincare sundae is 3% PHA and 2% BHA, a combination that tightens pores and promotes cell turnover. Sephora Promising review:"As someone with super acne-prone skin, this is perfect for sensitive skin. It's one of the only toners I've found that hasn't irritated my skin or broken me out. It makes my skin so hydrated." — LuLuCRose 11. Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick is reviewer-beloved for its second skin–like finish, touting a buildable coverage that remains intact through heat and humidity (and sweat). It's hydrating, too, i.e. won't crease after the hours of wear. Sephora Promising review:"This product is amazing. It's creamy, lightweight, and blends beautifully without settling into fine lines. I paired it with a silicone-based primer (Bare Minerals) and a touch of Bobbi Brown vitamin-enriched base for a smooth, flawless finish." — byebyejenny 12. Glossier You smells slightly different on every wearer — and that's why reviewers adore it. This woody scent is infused with pink pepper, amber, and iris, a sultry trio that's distinct but never overwhelming. Sephora Promising review:"I have been in a committed relationship with Glossier You since the day it came out. No other scent has felt more like me ever before! It's clean, cozy, slightly sweet, and almost slightly tart. It's not a huge projector but I've worn this to work in the medical fields for seven or so years and never had anyone complain about it. If you like your skin but better scents, you will love this!!" — Jogirl 14. Tatcha Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser contains hyaluronic acid, red algae, and a pH-neutral amino acid base to ensure your complexion is clean but not overly dry. Rice powder for gentle, baby-smooth exfoliation is the cherry on top of a blissfully good formula. Sephora Promising review:"Every time my friends or family come over, they use this. And every time, they are like?? OK, wow, that's amazing. It's just the best. I didn't know a cleanser that's on your face for like max 60 seconds could make such a difference, but it does." — KaityLauz 15. Saie Glowy Multipurpose Illuminator is a perfect alternative for drank-a-ton-of-water, slept-eight-hours, didn't-doomscroll-last-night dew. It adds glow without sparkle and can be worn on its own for a ~smoother~ complexion or layered under full-coverage foundation. Sephora Promising review:"This is one of my favorite products I've ever purchased. Been buying it since early 2023. Works great with my fair skin. I use it under my foundation, as highlighter over my foundation, and just by itself to make my skin look dewy. I don't like when I can see glitter on my skin from highlighter, but luckily, it's not the case with this product." — lauraliisall 16. Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick adds warmth and definition with just a few tactical swipes at the hollow of your cheekbones and crease of your eyelids. And the packaging? Simply begging to be displayed on your bathroom vanity. Sephora Promising review:"This is my contour/bronzer on light-medium neutral undertone skin and a staple in my makeup bag. Blends beautifully. I wear this with or without other makeup. Will repurchase when it runs out." — tadpole0225 17. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection looks like a piece of artwork, and while you may be tempted not to use it as a result — we've been there — rest assured, you should. This melts into your skin for an illuminating finish that stays put for hours on end. Sephora Promising review:"I was unsure of this product because of the hype, but it ended up being my fav blush I've ever tried. It's very natural and able to be built up, which I love!!" — mullinsem 18. Dr. Jart+ Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment contains tiger grass (Centella asiatica), the superstar behind this green-to-beige product capable of remedying redness, soothing sensitive skin, and covering up pimples — no heavy, crease-y concealer necessary. Sephora Promising reviews: " TikTok don't lie! Wow, the reviews are no joke. My skin in relatively clear, but with rosey undertones that I like to cancel out. With this cream, I was able to go without concealer and just add blush?! Will continue to rebuy!" — creneed "This is my holy grail product!! I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on skincare/makeup that I end up throwing out or simply don't use. But this product I have been using this for about two weeks now as I was influenced by someone on Instagram who swore by this. On a whim, I decided to pick it up. It is the product I have been searching for my whole life. It does what it says and makes my skin flawless. Hides all my imperfections and has even improved my skin a ton. As a 36-year-old still having acne, I find that this is something that bothers me, but this has actually made my skin clear up. I also have oily skin and this doesn't make me any more oily. Truly is amazing! I will use this for the rest of my life." — MamaBear2425 19. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Mask takes split ends and says "boo." This leave-in formula is beloved by reviewers with brittle and color-treated hair, who note that while it's super moisturizing and helps visibly replace damage, it doesn't feel greasy and gets absorbed by every strand. Promising review:"I've used this product twice now, and I already see improvement with my hair. My hair is usually frizzy even when I blow-dry it and use a smoothing serum, but after using this product twice, my hair is always smooth and silky afterward. I wanted to see if it was this product that made a difference so I just used this and let my hair air dry afterwards, and it still felt smooth and silky. Definitely recommend!" — AraM123 20.

I usually get irritated wearing mascara as it tends to smudge, but this formula does NOT smudge and is very easy to remove! Worth the money. It's my go-to mascara for now on, and it makes my average lashes look so beautiful and full :)" — Vance27 22.

It stays on all day, and you will not believe how many compliments I get when wearing this perfume. It is quite expensive, but you really can't get anything similar to this." — queengirl198 24.

Seriously, I can't use any other cleanser since I have very sensitive skin. This makes my skin feel extremely soft and prevents acne and redness. Normally, any other cleansers make my skin burn when I wash my face, but this one doesn't! Plus, you only need a tiny amount." — Patilo 25.

Sephora Promising review:"My crops are flourishing, my grades are high, and, most importantly, my skin has NEVER been so clear! I have tried everything Sephora has to fix my acne and nothing worked until now! I've been using this for about a month, and the difference is incredible! My skin is zit-free, my pores have shrunk, my skin is brighter, and my face hasn't been this soft since I was a CHILD. The price was a bit of a turnoff for me at first, but now I know it's a really good deal for what you're getting!" — Jurban Price: $19+ (available in three sizes) 27.
