30 Beauty Products That Reviewers Were Skeptical About At First, But Ended Up Loving
1. A The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula infused with niacinamide and Icelandic mineral water, moss, and seaweed extract to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles. You no longer have to show up to the office looking like a Tim Burton character. Amazing. It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration. Promising reviews:"I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." — HeartsUnfold This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rearview mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it's more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don't get much product, but you don't need to use much either, and it's not like it's expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it'll do!!! Buy it!" — Joseph S. Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a collagen stick, a peptide eyestick, and in multipacks). 2. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence because it will soothe and rejuvenate your skin so effectively, it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 62,000 5-star ratings! And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed! I've personally been using this for months now and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying, "gimme gimme gimme!!" Promising review:"So I was 100% skeptical about this stuff. As a matter of fact when my sister told me about it, I called her an Insta-sheep. A few weeks later I had to take antibiotics for an infection and they wreaked havoc on my skin. I had a bunch of small bumps that looked like a rash and they would not away. After two weeks of little to no improvement of my skin, I finally broke down and bought this snail mucin. I lie to you not, within TWO DAYS of using it, my face was like 80% better —100% by the end of four or five days. The texture from the rash was gone and the rest of my skin was smooth and clear. This stuff works. All day long my face feels soft and moisturized. I'm a believer and will be buying it from now on. Whodathunk snail boogers were the best kept beauty secret?" — Arica Dixon Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 3. And Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer, which is a lightweight gel-type cream that'll help soothe dry, irritated skin and strengthen your skin barrier by enriching it with the long-lasting hydration it's been begging for. Check it out on TikTok here! Promising review:"I was kind of skeptical about this product, but I have heard quite a few people using it so I wanted to give it a try. To my surprise, it has left my skin super smooth, super soft, and very hydrated. My make up lays very smoothly as well. I use it day and night and definitely recommend it. It does not have a smell. The consistency is kind of a slimy sticky (I know sounds kinda gross), but it dries right on the face quickly and easily and doesn't leave a sticky residue. Definitely recommend! — Cort Get it from Amazon for $20.49. 4. A Beauty of Joseon serum if you're a real glow getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help you maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture. I've been using this serum for about three months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there are different options for different skin concerns), and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plump and radiant! Promising review:"As someone who has combo-sensitive skin (with an oily T zone) and very skeptical when it comes to what I'm putting on my face, implementing this product into my day-to-day routine has definitely improved my skin. This is the first serums I have ever bought and I will definitely be sticking to this one. My skin is more hydrated and very soft/smooth. P.S. It can be a tad bit sticky but not too much to the point where you can feel it without touching it :)) 10/10 would recommend!" — Lin Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 5. A super easy-to-use (and super cute) Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover — it'll become your nose's best friend. Just scrub it over your nose and watch as it gently exfoliates and removes excess sebum, blackheads, and other impurities. Bye bye, pore strips! Amazon, Promising reviews: " I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this. I've had acne for over 30 years and have tried all sorts of products, but since this has good reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I'm really impressed with how this product works. It leaves my skin very soft but also unclogs pores. I've actually seen an improvement in my skin since I've started using it. Since it's an exfoliating product, I only use it about three times a week, but it has really helped with removing dry skin, and I've had less breakouts." — SP "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, and it smells great, too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt was visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, and then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 6. And a Korean exfoliating mitt you can use in the bath or shower to achieve that ~buttery soft~ skin. It helps you gently lather off dead skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris. The best part? You can get specific about the exfoliation pressure, since it's on your own hand! Promising review:"I truly had no idea how much dead skin I actually had until using this mitt. I was super skeptical at first because, let's be real, who actually thought that it would work the way they said it would and you'd end up with visible 'rolls' of dead skin? I sure didn't, but geesh was I in for a surprise after the first use. It feels amazing, by the way — like a full body 'reset.' You just get into a shower or bath and soak, so to speak, and start going to town on that dead skin. And once it starts coming off, you'll be just as grossed out as I was 🤢. So….much…skin. But I sure felt like a baby's booty after I was finished. Make sure to use your favorite moisturizer afterward!" — Sarah Jayne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available individually or as a pair). 7. A highly concentrated leave-in repair hair mask if you're trying to restore you're processed hair to its silky glory (we've all been there🥲). This mask is enriched with peptides that work their magic to moisturize and reverse the damage on your locks in just four minutes! Promising review:"I was super skeptical when my girl, my angel hair guru, recommended this. It's pricey, but let me tell you!!! One use, and I am HOOKED. My hair has NEVER been softer, less frizzy, maintained for 48 hours, extends the cleanliness of my hair so I wash it less. I was super skeptical of it, especially bc like, HOW?! How can not using conditioner be okay, lol but this is pure unicorn magic. This product is a game changer!! RUN ladies! Don't walk." — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes). 8. An 18-piece makeup brush set that'll help you complete each step of your makeup routine like a total pro. They're so high-quality they even surprised this reviewer with how well they've held up after two years! Plus, the included cylinder case allows you to set them upright on your vanity *and* serves as easy packaging for travel. Promising reviews:"Great set! I was a little skeptical of the quality due to the affordable price, but I have zero complaints! The brushes are very soft and I love the variety of options. They blend nicely and color is gorgeous. I would recommend!" — Cassandra "I was a loyal IT Cosmetics brush customer, then I went with a few Real Techniques brushes. These actually beat both of those brands — I have no idea how! I ended up tossing most of my brushes now in favor of these. They wash easily, look nice, are soft, and very durable. I'll keep buying!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). 9. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil because heartbreak is one thing, but an icky sticky finish on your lips is another. It's made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips while feeling super lightweight. It also gives your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush. This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! Promising review: "I love this stuff. I had never used a lip oil before and was skeptical, but this stuff is great. It doesn't sting my abused, chapped lips and heals them nicely. It's not sticky or uncomfortable, just a light coating that melts in like an expensive balm. I'm a nervous lip nibbler, and this oil really helped. The mint is pleasant and didn't seem to encourage me to lick, a problem I've had with especially tasty or fragrant balms. I had no problem with my bottle leaking and carried it safely in my purse." — Auntie May Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors and in sets). 10. A Mizon snail repair cream with snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, and 12 natural extracts that can help nourish, brighten, and re-plump your skin without any oiliness (perfect for acne-prone skin!). When it comes to repairing the skin barrier, this cream really ~snailed~ it. Behold, yet another product that has made me love products with snail mucin. I've been using this product for three months and it's like this cream has taken an eraser and rubbed it over my acne scars to reveal the clear-looking skin that I didn't know I could achieve. A true game-changer! Promising review: "Holy moly, y'all. When I first ordered this, I was incredibly skeptical (and also a little grossed out) — snail goo? Really? I was doubtful, but I was also desperate. I am so glad I trusted these reviews and bought this snail repair cream. It has turned my skin around. I'm 24 and have had acne all throughout my life. It's been unpredictable and incredibly frustrating. Mizon has honestly been my skin-saver. I've been using it for two weeks, and everyone has commented on the difference in my skin and told me that I 'glow' and that my skin is 'so soft.' I was recently told by an esthetician that my pores are 'some of the tiniest she has ever seen,' and I used to get blackheads galore! The change has been RAPID, consistent, and noticeable. But, most importantly, it has been easy. I go through my day without feeling self-conscious about whether my forehead is erupting. Oh, what a glorious feeling!" — Katherine Bogen Get it from Amazon for $10.89+ (available in three sizes). 11. A pack of popular Cosrx pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for popping those pimples anymore! For persistent or bigger pimples, leave a pimple patch on overnight for two to three days to allow the pimple to diminish completely. Promising review:" I am always skeptical after buying something I was influenced on... but these babies lived up to the HYPE. I am telling you right now... not one patch has ever worked for me in the way these work. I can put one on overnight, and it completely heals the spot by morning. They actually work. I have tried so many different brands before and NOT ONE has ever worked as fast and consistently as these patches do. I love that they come in three different sizes. The smallest ones are barely even noticeable. I wear them when I go run errands. Highly recommend" — Alisonnv Get a pack of 48 from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five quantities). 12. The Face Shops's facial foaming cleanser with rice water that contains vitamins and minerals to purify, moisturize, and brighten your skin while protecting it from excessive irritation. Reviewers with sensitive skin swear by it! Promising review:"I was skeptical to use this at first because I'm used to using somewhat higher-end, well known products on my skin. I almost didn't even use it but was surprised after very few uses that the deep underground pimples on my temples that I have suffered from for years, which not even Retin-A could prevent, had vanished. Additionally, this face wash helps to tighten pores and brighten overall complexion. 10/10 would recommend!" — Beachy Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes and as a a set). 13. And a pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels — aka the ultimate upgrade to your nightly routine. Pair these ultra-soft, chemical-free disposable towels with a makeup remover or face wash to gently remove makeup, or simply use them to dry your face! Lots of reviewers with sensitive skin rave about these because they help prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels. Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. Promising review:"These are amazing. I was skeptical because they just seem like paper towels to me haha — but once you try them, you'll be hooked! I'm terrible at doing laundry, so my face towel was always dirtier than it should be. So this was an amazing, easy solution and they are so soft!! I wish they came in travel packs too, for when you're on the road. They are bigger than I expected and great absorbency, so I use one side in the a.m. and the other at p.m. Love them, will definitely order again!!" — E Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.05. 14. A Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant, which has salicylic acid that penetrates your pores to help catch breakout before they reach the surface. And bonus! Its green tea leaf extract quickly calms redness and soothes skin sensitivity. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical, as always, and then I tried it. I started w the 1oz bottle and now I'm on large bottle #5. I've even gotten it for friends. It's that good. I have combination skin and have struggled with these little bumps on my face that are not acne, just bumps. Anddd acne. This bottle has not only brightened my face, but it has smoothed it out (started seeing results in a couple of days!!!!!) I don't even get much acne using it at all. Only the hormonal stuff. If you want smooth, clear skin, be very clean with your face and buy this product!!" — Dayany Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). 15. A popular pack of Skin1004 pore tightening and lifting masks that has surprised reviewers with its immediate results.

To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!). But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin. Promising review:"This is the holy grail of face masks! I have a plethora of skin issues: enlarged pores, lines, acne scars, blackheads, and adult acne. Lucky me. I've used hundreds of face masks and this one beats them all. It shrinks — YES, SHRINKS — my pores. Lines that I had around my mouth and forehead prior to using it are gone. GONE! I read reviews that said the same thing but was skeptical. The only downside is it doesn't have a pleasant smell. It's nothing overbearing, but it does smell like eggs. So glad I tried this." — Shan Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in a two-pack and in a variety three-pack). 16. An eye cream for dark circles featuring yerba mate extract, as well as caffeine, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, at a bafflingly low price for the amount of compliments you're due to receive. Good Molecules creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients. Promising review: " For someone who's tried hundreds of different skincare products, this stuff is amazing! It's like a water gel consistency and a little goes a long way. I was skeptical of buying this because I've never heard of the brand and thought the low price was sketchy… but this stuff is really nice. I didn't notice the cooling effect so much but it's there! Get it if you're hesitant and on a budget!!" — Gail Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 17. A Some by Mi Miracle toner with chemical exfoliants as well as tea tree, papaya, and witch hazel extract to remove dead skin cells while helping your skin look more hydrated and radiant in just 30 days. Many reviewers say it's perfect for both oily and sensitive skin! After cleansing, soak your cotton pad with the toner, gently wipe your face, and lightly tap for absorption. Follow with moisturizer! Promising review:" I was quite skeptical buying this toner, but the ingredients are effective. The acids gently exfoliate, leaving skin smooth and refreshed. In 30 days of use, I did notice an improvement in my skin condition; my pores appear less noticeable and I've had fewer breakouts. Although I still have some hormonal acne, this toner has eliminated clogged pores and related pimples after continuous use." — Amelia Hill Get it from Amazon for $15.80 (also available as a two-pack). 18. A noncomedogenic CeraVe salicylic acid body wash so that you can finally break up with those scabs and keratosis pilaris bumps. With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, this gently cleanses and exfoliates your skin. Promising review: "I've had keratosis pilaris on my arms for as long as I could remember. I'd exfoliate and moisturize religiously, and it'd make a very slight difference. This body wash is a game-changer! I'm usually pretty skeptical, and as someone who has spent SO MUCH MONEY on skincare that people rave about, I've learned not to expect much... but truly, I love this body wash. It makes my skin so soft and smooth — even though my KP isn't entirely gone, the difference is noticeable. The bumps aren't as big and red, and there is less of them. It is pretty expensive for the size, but it's well worth the investment. The consistency is pretty thick, and it foams up, so I don't have to use a lot. I put like two quarter size onto my exfoliate and scrub all over. Even when I forget to moisturize, my skin feels much smoother." — Hna9 Get it from Amazon for $13.49. 19. A pack of super convenient rinse-free body wipes — the *perfect* quick clean-up for when you're in a hurry, after a workout session, or traveling for long hours. Plus, they're pH-balanced and are enriched with aloe vera and vitamin E! Promising review:"I was skeptical about these. Every wipe I have used before left a sticky residue and its cleaning didn't seem to last very long. But I read the reviews for this product on Amazon and figured I would give it a try. I thought my first one was defective as it was hardly 'wet,' but wow, it worked great. Left me feeling very clean, with no residue or icky scent. I am hooked for life!" — D. MacGowen Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $30 (also available in two bigger sizes). 20. A container of Aquaphor multipurpose healing ointment, which is the holy grail here to soothe, protect, and restore smooth skin. Got some chapped skin brought on by cold weather? Just got a new tattoo? Dealing with your baby's diaper rash? This magical ointment is here to save the day. Promising reviews:"I bought this product because I have sensitive skin and my hands get very dry from work. At first, I was kinda skeptical because it reminded me of Vaseline but after putting it on my hands and waiting a couple of hours, I was very surprised. It moisturizes well without irritating my skin, and on top of that, my mom loved it as well." — Nadya Domanskaya "Welcome to the good life. Aquaphor feels luxurious. I put it on everything. The container is safe and solid — not too big and not too small. I dap some on my lips before bed, cuts and scrapes on my kids legs in summer, feels amazing on my cuticles, great for a little diaper rash. I like the jar over the tube – the tube you lose product and it stays too thick. I like the consistency in the jar." — Kitty D Get it from Amazon for $18.37. 21. A Ouai hair texture spray to help you achieve those effortless, beachy waves in a matter of seconds. Plus, it's created with rice protein instead of sea salt to ensure it's safe for all hair types! Promising review:"This is the best hair product I've ever purchased!! I was skeptical and apprehensive about paying the price to try it, but I'm so glad I did. I didn't think I'd ever find something that could give me these kinds of waves without heat or crunchy stiffness. This product works!! No stiffness, no heat. Once the spray is dry, I can comb my hair, and it still retains the soft waves and leaves my hair smelling so good for at least a couple of days. This is a product I will want to always have on hand. I'm not one to write reviews, but I felt compelled to for this." — Jo Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes) 22. A set of super travel-friendly Carenel Lip Sleeping Masks — they might just give the Laneige ones a run for their money. These will help soothe, heal, and hydrate dry and cracked lips overnight! For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams, for the entire set. So, even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! Promising reviews:"Love this stuff! It heals my dry lips overnight! I was skeptical when I first bought it because my lips are always dry but this actually works for me I'm very happy with it" — Kaitlyn "Love this! In my opinion, better than Laniege at a fraction of the price. A bit thicker, which I like. Even though it's a sleeping mask, I use it throughout the day to keep my lips moist and soft. Will keep ordering again and again." — Michaela Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in five scent sets). 23. A waterproof crème-to-powder eyeshadow stick, which is perfect for those days when you're running late (...again) and want to add a quick pop of glow to your eyes. Just swipe this across your lids — no brush required! — and you're good to go. Plus, they're enriched with vitamins C and E, and you can choose from a variety of gorgeous shimmery, matte, and metallic shades. Promising review:"I was skeptical buying this brand, but didn't want to pay the high prices for an eyeshadow crayon. Pleasantly surprised with this brand and its great prices. Goes on smooth and was easy to blend. I preferred blending with my finger. This lasted 12 hours without smudging or fading. I Purchased the champagne shimmer, mink mauve metallic, an orchid shimmer. They all blend together so nicely. Definitely recommend." — AundreaE Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 53 colors). 24. An ultra-lightweight E.l.f. HD loose setting powder that'll subtly blur your fine lines, pores, and blemishes for a soft-focus finish. With this in your makeup bag, who needs an IG filter? Promising reviews:"After a makeup hiatus, I decided to try my hand at more 'professional' looks when utilizing makeup. One thing that plagued me was finding a setting powder that held up for more than a few hours -- until now! While E.L.F. isn't the highest-priced brand out there -- far from it, in truth -- this is actually a FANTASTIC find! Just a small amount/application before heading out helps keep even my super-oily skin looking fresh and radiant, far better than I was honestly expecting. I didn't honestly expect to get so much coverage from a $6 powder! Even my super-sensitive skin had no problem with this powder, which helped me decide that when I want an ultra-flawless finish, this is *the* powder for the job! I'm normally skeptical about drug-store cosmetics, but the team at E.L.F. REALLY knocked it out of the proverbial park with this one!)" — Kimberly K. " As a dark-skinned Black woman, I was worried that using a white powder would cause my skin to look ashy or cakey. This powder, however, is perfect. I use this powder to set my foundation, to reduce shine during the day, and also to set my gel eyeliner. I have medium-dark skin, and this powder does NOT make my skin look overly light and it doesn't make my foundation look cakey or thick." — M.C Get it from Amazon for $6. 25. A bottle of hydrating Glow Recipe watermelon glow niancinamide dew drops to brighten both your skin and your day. It's infused with vitamin C, vitamin E, and moringa oil to help even out your skin tone and give you a dewy finish.

Check out this TikTok of these drops being used for a natural makeup look! Glow Recipe is an Asian-owned business that aims to create fruit-forward, clean beauty formulas to incorporate into your skincare routine. Promising review: "Okay, so I am not really a fan of scented face products, BUT I was told this was a must-have for someone struggling with dry skin. My skin gets especially dry near my T-zone area and nose, and when I tell you this product really helped out with that! I instantly felt my skin become moisturized as soon as I applied it! It also left a glowy/dewey look that I love! Usually, scented face products make me break out so I was very skeptical about this since the scent was a bit strong (but amazing), and no breaking out at all! I plan on incurring more from this brand into my skincare routine!" — Nancy Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes). 26. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant lots of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin conditions swear by. This'll help you gently exfoliate rough patches and dry bumps so that your skin is as smooth as a baby's. Amazon Promising review: " I was so skeptical about buying a product for my KP! My whole life of 29 years, I have dealt with this and was very insecure and didn't know want to wear short sleeves or tank tops because of it! And I have anxiety and I would always look for places to pick at! When I used this, I cried because I never felt my skin to be 'normal' and my arms felt so smooth after. Yes, I have some bumps still, but my skin is nowhere close to bumpy like it was before!! Amazing product I will be buying more to keep on hand!!" — Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in five sizes). 27. A *gorgeous* color-changing lip balm that adjusts to the pH of your lips and gives you an adorably rosy tint specific to your skin tone. Plus, the lipstick itself is so pretty, you'll make sure to be around lots of people when it's time to re-apply. Promising review:" I've got to say, I was skeptical. I decided to give it a try, and it is the most beautiful color! It looks different on me than it does on my daughter, but really pretty on both of us! It's really neat how it changes color and works with your shade! Now my daughter wants her own! It is very moisturizing as well, and not sticky at all! My new favorite!" — Jillian Wood Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight colors) 28. A strengthening Dabur Amla hair oil enriched with Indian gooseberry, which is a great source of vitamins E and C to help support a healthy scalp and thick, shiny locks. With this, you'll be looking for any excuse to do a ~dramatic hair flip~. For best results, apply a fair amount into your hair and leave it for some time (ideally one hour). Then, proceed with your regular shower routine. Apply three times a week. Dabur is an Indian brand based in Ghaziabad. Promising reviews: "Excellent oil. Keeps my hair soft, moisturized, shiny, tangle-free, thick, beautiful, and healthy. Just had to write a review for those who are hesitant about purchasing this oil (I was skeptical for almost nine months). You won't go wrong with this. I started using it less than two weeks ago and my hair feels more supple and better moisturized now in spite of the dry weather than it did months ago in the summer. With all its benefits, I don't mind the smell as long as my hair is strong and happy. — Mizz T "Came here from TikTok. I have 4C natural hair, and I have never seen results the way I did once I added this product to my hair care routine. I mixed it in with my leave-in conditioner and it's been working like magic. Once every two weeks on wash days, I cover my head completely in this oil before I detangle, and the way I barely shed is unbelievable. Highly recommended!" — Sierra Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes). 29. Or a nourishing Brazilian 2-in-1 conditioning treatment by Skala that you'll *especially* love if you've got some curly tresses you'd like to define.

Promising reviews:"I was skeptical at first whether it would work or not, but to my surprise, it absolutely did." — Blanca Gonzalez "Before this product, I was buying all types of products for my hair. All the other products dried up my hair, and my hair was just flat waves BUT this product has given my hair new life. This is all I use on my hair, I do not use any other products combined with this. My curls are more defined and my hair does not look dry. Loved this product so much I ordered two more jugs." — Alitza V. Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
