26 Korean Skincare Products So Effective, It’s No Wonder They Went Viral On TikTok

Trendy *and* hardworking — now that’s what I’m talking about.

by Amber Usher BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle.

Facebook

Pinterest

1. The Cosrx snail mucin power essence formulated with 96.3% snail secretion that's perfectly lightweight and hydrating for all skin types. This serum leaves a nice glow and keeps skin visibly smooth after a few uses — no wonder it has over 75,000 5-star ratings!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is obsessed: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it for a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" 

Promising review: "I caved to the TikTok hype, and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin, but this was the first product that I didn’t have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $17.79.

2. A pore-clearing cleansing oil that visibly sucks out sebum from your pores and removes makeup residue and blackheads, leaving your skin looking clearer and feeling smoother. Reviewers of all skin types swear by it, including those with acne-prone skin (who say it doesn't cause breakouts)!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the oil in action.

BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.

Promising review: "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I’ve gone through 3-4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly it's heaven-sent. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don’t wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right]." —rexichor

Get it from Amazon for $17.69 (also available in a mild version for sensitive skin).

3. And their deep cleansing foam, which dives deep into your pores, gently whisking away gunk and removing dead skin cells. As with their oil cleanser, heartleaf extract is the magic ingredient here, and it's all about calming things down, reducing inflammation, and keeping your skin feeling soothed and pampered long after you've rinsed off.

Promising review: "Let me tell you, I have awful blackheads, and this helped clean them out and made them a lot smaller. I love this stuff. I pair it with the oil cleanser (from the same brand and line), and they did wonders for my skin! I recommend it if you have clogged pores and blackheads." —Nabi

Get it from Amazon for $13.

4. A bottle of Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot" because your skin deserves only the best products, and well, this is one of them. Thanks to its rice water extract formula, it buffs out dead skin and helps remove blackheads and sebum for a glowy and refreshed complexion. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical, but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callus on my arm that kept regrowing, and it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in four formulas).

5. A popular pack of Skin1004 8-in-1 treatment masks ready to give you similar (if not better) results as the v expensive Hanacure, if you don't mind looking like a zombie for 15 minutes in exchange for (*takes a deep breath*): reduced fine lines, lifted skin, cleared acne, tightened pores, deeply hydrated skin, improved skin texture, balanced pH level, and a brightened complexion.

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the mask in action.

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.

Promising review: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 zombie mask, and at this price, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight-up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this. Hanacure who?!?? Don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical too, but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice-weekly mask schedule recommended. This Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results, in my opinion. And it's super funny.  A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell, which I was worried about, but I didn't notice a smell, and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't use scented lotions, lip balms, etc. Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." —Dana Dane

Get a box with eight masks from Amazon for $13.96.

6. A Beauty of Joseon glow serum, aka the secret ingredient to more glass-like skin. This lightweight serum uses rice bran water and 2% alpha-arbutin, a skin-brightening hero that can help fade hyperpigmentation and acne scars. One reviewer said they don’t have to wear as much highlighter because their skin was glowing so much, while another swears they don’t even need foundation anymore because their skin tone is so even.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.

Promising review: "I've been using the serum for a few weeks now, and it's made a noticeable difference in my skin. The serum is lightweight and absorbs quickly without any sticky residue. After consistent use, I've observed a reduction in dark spots and a more even complexion. The combination of rice bran water and alpha-arbutin seems to work well for brightening the skin. Additionally, it provides a good level of hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft and supple. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free and hasn't caused any irritation. Overall, it's a solid addition to my skincare routine, and I plan to continue using it.​" —Christian Perez

Get it from Amazon for $16.82+ (available in two sizes).

7. Mixsoon Bean Essence that hydrates and exfoliates your skin at the same dang time. 🤯 This thick (but not sticky) essence contains natural ingredients like fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate to remove dead skin cells and revitalize skin tone.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff 🩷" —Losa

"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMae

Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in three sizes).

8. A Laneige glowy lip balm to instantly elevate your makeup look, whether you're going for a cute daytime vibe or a sultry evening allure — or just rock it solo with its amazing high-shine finish. The texture is smooth as silk, lightweight, and *not* sticky, so you'll feel like you're in lip balm heaven. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the lip balm in action.

Promising review: "Everyone needs this lip gloss in their lives. It honestly makes your lips feel so good. I have one with my makeup and one in my purse to take everywhere with me. It's glossy but not sticky. It feels light on, but makes your lips instantly feel more nourished. Worth every penny." —Britney Badger

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in 10 shades and in gift sets). 

9. A Biodance overnight collagen mask — it starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask and gradually turns clear while it works wonders on your skin. It contains three kinds of probiotics along with low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid, which penetrate deeply to improve elasticity, refine pores, smooth fine lines, and more. You can wear it overnight or leave it on for 3–4 hours as you go about your day!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of this mask in action.

Promising review: "Oh…my god…. 🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? I put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had filler. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Get it from Amazon for $15.20 (available in three other versions and a 16-count).

10. Torriden hyaluronic acid serum — this complex HA formula is designed to absorb super quickly and dive deep into your skin, delivering a mega-dose of moisture. With a lightweight, watery texture, this serum is all about maintaining that much-needed hydration and keeping your skin plump and smooth without any icky residue.

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.

Promising review: "Disclaimer: I went on Accutane five years ago, and this product is one of several other products in my day/night skincare routine. I first picked this up at an Olive Young store during a trip I took to South Korea. It was listed as one of their best-sellers and I 100% can see why. I mist my face before applying a few drops and it absorbs really quickly. Almost immediately my skin looks/feels more hydrated and prepped for the rest of my routine. The days where I feel lazy and don’t complete my skincare routine or cheat and not use this, my face definitely looks less dewy/a little more dull. Idk but I’m sold for sure." —Jaylen

Get it from Amazon for $22.50.

11. A Korean scrub mitt — the ultimate body exfoliation tool. It's made out of a plant-based fiber that's rough enough to visibly lift dead skin away but also buffs and smoothes, leaving your skin velvety soft. It's also great for pre- and post-shaving, helping to reduce ingrown hairs and trapped follicles, and reviewers praise it for effectively removing spray tan too!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the mitt in action.

Promising review: "Hands down the best shower mitt on the market! It has really helped with my dry skin, reduced ingrown hairs after shaving, and leaves skin baby soft." —Habanera026

Get it from Amazon for $10.44+ (available in six colors and as a set of two).

12. An Innisfree daily UV defense sunscreen reviewers are calling their "holy grail" sun protection. It has SPF 36, which is *chef's kiss* for everyday use. It’s formulated with green tea for hydration, cica to soothe redness and irritation, and sunflower seed oil to nourish the skin. And the best part? It leaves behind a beautiful glow with zero white cast.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen in action.

Promising reviews: "My holy grail SPF. The scent is mild, and the sunscreen goes on my skin like a dream. I’ve tried maybe 20 other sunscreens (American, Korean, and Japanese), and this one is my top pick for everyday wear." —Symphanie Park

"I LOVE this product, I swear by it and I’m pretty sure this is my 3rd or 4th time purchasing it! As a woman of color, finding a sunscreen that didn’t give me a white cast / ashy finish was very hard, so I am so glad I’ve come across this product ! It goes on the skin so smoothly. I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen and have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I seriously don’t leave the house without this; I keep it on me at all times! It gives you a glow and makes skin feel so much softer. I also feel like some of my dark spots have faded due to this product! Also I have VERY sensitive skin, so everything breaks me out, but this has not!" —Sierra Keyes

Get it from Amazon for $18.

13. A Medicube Age-R Booster Pro if you want to feel like you just left a Korean skin clinic without having to hop on a flight. This device features four different treatments, all powered by LED light therapy, that can exfoliate, tighten, boost the efficacy of your other products, and rejuvenate your skin. It announces the minutes as you're using it to ensure you don’t overuse it in one spot and doesn't take long to see noticeable results.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the device in action.

It's recommended to use the Air Shot mode 2–3 times a week. The other modes — Booster, MC (microcurrent), and Derma Shot — can be used 1–3 times daily.

I own the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro and it is definitely worth the splurge! When I first started using this device I had a dark mark from a pimple on my cheek, but with consistent use of this device, it faded in under a week (wish I had taken those before and after pics!). Overall, it didn't take long to notice that my face was visibly brighter and lifted. Although I've slacked a bit lately (oops, guilty of being lazy 😅), I've definitely seen the difference when I'm diligent with it.

Promising reviews: "I bought this on Prime day and I use it at least twice a week. I definitely see results with both the air shot mode and the booster mode. Get the collagen gel (pink) to go with it and you will have glass skin." —Alissa

"Amazing!!! I got this for facials and it has made such a difference in just a week!! My complexion is looking better and my acne scars are fading and it’s just a miracle tool! Definitely use this with serums! I love how it is battery powered so I can get more than one use and it doesn’t need to be plugged in. I tried all 4 modes and they’re all great!! The secret 5th mode (purple) is unlocked in the app!" —Kate

Get it from Amazon for $150.

14. Also from Medicube: "Zero Pore" toner pads, which contain lactic acid and salicylic acid and feature a dual-textured surface. They're wildly popular (literally an Amazon bestseller) for their ability to help control excess sebum, exfoliate dead skin, and refine pores, all while keeping your glow game strong.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the pads in action.

Promising review: "Surprise of surprises…this works on my 73-year-old skin! I ordered these with great hesitancy even after reading reviews. We have all purchased products that promise results that never materialize. Well, this product works for me. I’m 73 with sun damage from sun worship in my teens through 40s. If only I’d listened to the pros about using sunscreen on my face every day…live and learn. I also am getting brown spots on my face and the pores on my nose seem to grow bigger along with my ears. I noticed a difference on my nose pores, albeit small, the morning after I used these the first time. With each use my pores grow less noticeable." —BeeJay

Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $14.90. 

15. Annndd their rejuvenating gel cream with boba-like capsules full of concentrated vitamin C and niacinamide — as you massage it into your skin, the capsules burst, instantly giving you that "glass-skin" look. A little goes a long way, so you only need 1–2 capsules at a time for your whole face! If you stick with it over time, you'll be blessed by the skincare gods with an overall brighter complexion and improvement in acne scars and fine lines.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the cream in action.

I've spent a lot of time curating my skincare routine, and this vitamin C gel/cream has rightfully earned its spot. I use it in the morning, and it gives me that glass skin glow all day long. A little goes a VERY long way. I would say I only apply one, *maaaybe* two boba beads for my whole face. I also like to use my Medicube Booster Pro in the Derma Shot mode to help the product fully absorb and get that extra snatched look.

Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews but for this product I had to. I have super dry skin on the best of days, and in the winter, I usually use a moisturizer that has the consistency and thickness of toothpaste just to stay moisturized in the cold, dry air. I decided to give this a try and I’m so glad I did! I had doubts because this isn’t heavy at all and is like a gel with lightweight lotion balls in it but I could not have been more impressed! It’s super moisturizing but absorbs well into the skin and gives you that glass skin look! My skin looks plump and bright in the middle of January in New England and that’s a first! I also think it will still be fine to use in summertime because it’s not a thick, heavy cream. Can’t recommend this enough!" —K. Farris

Get it from Amazon for $19.90.

16. A 3-in-1 Dr. Althea jelly mist that I'm fully convinced is a little potion straight from a Korean skincare witch. It’s got hydrating deep sea water and triple hyaluronic acid to give your skin that bouncy, dewy glow, creating a perfect base for your makeup. Spray it up close, and it's like a serum or toner, giving those concentrated areas some serious love. Hold it further away, and you've got a fine mist that wraps your entire face in hydration.

www.amazon.com, www.instagram.com

Check out a TikTok of the mist in action.

Korean skincare never ceases to amaze me — there’s always something new that tops the last big thing! When I first received this product and saw how thick the gel was, I thought, "There’s no way this will actually spray out." But, hello?? It does! And it’s a super fine mist. It keeps my skin so hydrated, and when I wear makeup, it applies evenly and smoothly. Plus, since it’s hydrating, it prevents my makeup from peeling or cracking, which is perfect for cold weather. Bonus points for being able to spray it throughout the day to give your makeup a little boost of dewiness!

Get it from Amazon for $19.90.

17. ABeauty of Joseon eye serum to send your tired under-eye bags running for the hills. Made with ginseng, retinol, and niacinamide, it can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and enhance the brightness of your skin, giving you that radiant glow.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.

Promising review: "This eye cream makes my eyes so soft, it has this luxurious feel that is better than any high-end product I have tried and for the cost? This stuff is unbelievable. I tried Ogee and all sorts of products that people swear by, but this one keeps my eyes hydrated and soft all night and lasts until the next day. It also isn’t greasy, which I love. Since it has retinol, I only put it on at night and use a vitamin C serum by Murad in the morning. I love this product! You can feel and see a difference after one use." —AJ

Get it from Amazon for $11.90+ (available in two sizes).

18. The all-in-one Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm for those dry areas on your face and body that could use a little extra love. Packed with collagen and a natural fermented oil straight from Jeju Island, this balm is like a loving hug for your skin, giving it a 48-hour moisture boost and lifting effect.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the balm in action.

Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" —Kristy 

Get it from Amazon for $22.99(also available in three additional formulas).

19. Skin1004's Centella ampoule — this highly concentrated potion is crafted from the finest Madagascar Centella asiatica extract, known for its incredible ability to soothe, calm, and hydrate even the most sensitive skin. The formula is also slightly acidic to help keep your skin’s pH balance in check.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.

Promising review: "Liquid gold! I’m obsessed with this. It’s one of the first products I purchased when starting my glass skin journey. Centella asiatica is known to calm sensitive skin and reduce redness and inflammation. My skin barrier was damaged from all the actives I used in the past. Since I started using this ampoule in the morning and night, my skin is a lot more hydrated and less red and irritated. It absorbs beautifully into the skin and doesn’t leave tackiness. My skin is left glowing after every use. I’ve recommended this product to friends and family, and they all feel the same. It’s a must for any skin type!" —frugalANDfeminine

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

20. A ceramide lotion folks with sensitive skin (especially eczema-prone) are ditching their CeraVe and Cetaphil for. It's unscented and hypoallergenic, and the gel-cream texture sinks right into your skin, leaving no greasy residue or irritation behind. You can slather it all over, from your gorgeous face to your toes, because it’s that gentle; plus, the bottle is huge, so you’re getting major bang for your buck.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the lotion in action.

Promising review: "I'm 39 with super sensitive skin, had a baby 5 months ago, and recently my skin was destroyed by adapalene and Sunday Riley. I was a mess. I had used La Roche Posay's double repair moisturizer for years before the baby, until the retinoid made my skin too sensitive for it. I tried tons of other moisturizers and everything made my skin worse — dry, pimply, or oily. This moisturizer is incredible. I live in Miami, so I can't use anything heavy, and this gives so much glow but in a way that deeply penetrates the skin without leaving it greasy. My skin is healing beautifully and feels really nicely balanced and plump. Also, I can't believe the price of this stuff. Korean products are 100% where it's at." —AB

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).

21. A beginner-friendly skin booster serum formulated with retinal, the most potent over-the-counter retinoid you can snag (basically retinol's cooler cousin). Retinal's more effective, which typically means it can be more irritating — but here, the addition of Centella asiatica keeps it gentle and safe for sensitive skin. This lightweight serum can help visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, refine your skin's texture, and minimize pores within four weeks, but many reviewers said they saw results much sooner!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.

While this serum is designed to be less irritating, as with any powerful skincare product, it's important to start slow and patch test to see how your skin reacts. If your skin tolerates it, you can apply both morning and night after cleansing.

Promising review: "Honestly, buy it. I was skeptical about this serum, especially since it’s such a large bottle for so cheap, plus this was a leap of faith for me since I do have sensitive skin. I’ve been using this religiously for over a week now, and even after the first day, I could see and feel the improvement of my skin. I went from having small red breakouts to clear, even skin almost overnight. I’m not even wearing makeup now because I love the look and glow to my skin. I don’t even do reviews, but this product deserves it 100%. I will be purchasing again. BUY IT!" —Boogs

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

22. A cute little Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover that rids your nose and chin of all the gunk that's built up throughout the day and exfoliates pores, making your skin look smoother and cleaner. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the blackhead remover in action.

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, 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 $13. 

23. A translucent, semi-matte sunscreen stick with SPF 50 that's perfectly sized to fit in the palm of your hand, purse, or even your car's glove compartment — no more excuses for skipping sun protection! It's formulated with peptides and ceramides to strengthen and hydrate your skin barrier without leaving any white cast or stickiness. Reviewers say that it reapplies over makeup beautifully!

www.instagram.com, www.instagram.com

Check out a TikTok of the sun stick in action.

Promising review: "I've been using this stick sunscreen for almost two months now, and I absolutely love it. It's incredibly easy to apply and doesn't feel greasy or heavy on the skin. One of the best features is that it goes on clear, so there's no worry about a white cast or altering your makeup. Plus, it's perfect for reapplying throughout the day, even over makeup. The convenient, portable design makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go. Highly recommend!" —Hoda

Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in two versions).

24. A "lifting" essence that reviewers on TikTok are referring to as "Botox in a bottle." It's made with NAD+, which can help boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production, along with 50 types of peptides to help plump and firm your skin. With a stretchy texture that's similar to snail mucin but thicker, this gem can help make fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable in four weeks!

Amazon

Here's how to use it: Take 2–3 drops and apply evenly all over your face — if you want to target any particular areas that have wrinkles, like smile lines, frown lines, and your forehead, you can apply extra there. Gently massage the product into your skin until it's fully absorbed. For an added boost, follow up with their lifting sheet mask at night to lock in the benefits!

Promising review: "I’ve tried countless essences over the years, but Numbuzin No.9 Essence | NAD+ BIO has completely blown me away! From the very first week, I noticed a visible reduction in my pores and an overall improvement in my skin’s texture. My complexion looks smoother, firmer, and more refined, giving me that coveted “glass skin” effect." —Bug Lady

Get it from Amazon for $24.35.

25. Rael Beauty's Miracle Patch, which is designed to draw out the gunk from your pimples while creating a protective shield (if you find yourself tempted to pick at them). Unlike other patches, this one has edges so thin that they practically blend in with your skin — perfect for those times when you need a little acne-fighting magic but still want to go about your day without anyone noticing.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!

Promising review: "I am a pimple patch fan okay. I have tried them ALL but I always was intrigued by this brand and was very skeptical on three things: effectiveness, visibility, and size. I LOVE the fact that Rael pimple patches have two different sizes, all with hydrocolloid. They are practically invisible on the face unless you are extremely close up. I would feel extremely comfortable wearing these to my childcare job because I know they are not visible, and if you work with kids you know how they love to point pimple patches out. 🤣 I left one on my face all night (9+ hours), and it completely erased the pimple on the side of my cheek. Best pimple recovery I've seen ever on my face. I love these and will buy more, and you should too!!!!!" —Brian Cage

Get a 96-count pack from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in smaller pack sizes).

26. A moisturizing TirTir milk toner if your skin needs a little hydration boost before moisturizing or putting on makeup. It's formulated with chamomile, which reduces redness and irritation, and rice bran extracts to help even skin tone and enhance brightness.

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the toner in action.

Psst…It's also alcohol-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin.

Promising reviews: "For a toner, this is SO hydrating and just heavenly. It's perfect for makeup prep as it has just a tad of tackiness right after applying. Goes on under my serums and moisturizer perfectly and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. I saw it recommended by a YouTuber and tried it and it's now a daily use for me, which is rare because I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and I'm very picky about skincare. I can't recommend this enough, truly." —Amazon Customer

"One of my favorite finds from watching TikTok videos. Definitely worth the hype. Feels amazing on the skin. I keep it in the fridge!!" —VickyT

Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes and a lighter version).

Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping?

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: Our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
