1. A lightweight gel cream from Nivea so shockingly effective, you might trick people into thinking you have a filter on your skin. No, really — it actually happened for one reviewer! This usues the miracle-working abilities of an ingredient called ~Q10~ to deliver plumper, firmer, more moisturized skin.

www.amazon.com

Nivea recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

2. A cult-classic Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey if you want to keep dry, chapped lips AWAY. This bb is lightweight, slightly glossy, and has a little dash of magic. I mean, I'm guessing it's magic — because the way this glosses you up and complements all different skin tones so beautifully is beyond anything ordinary.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? Ilove watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick."

Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in pink honey!). 

3. A moisturizing hair serum here to breathe some life back into your locks and rescue them from eternal dryness. This delightful blend is derived from seven incredible oils: argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia. This reviewer says it gives you gloss without the grease, and that the scent alone makes them want to keep using it!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Having written about *so* much K-beauty, I feel like I've written about every Korean product under the sun. However, this serum only recently came into my radar through a sample box — and thank goodness it did! Coincidentally, I received this just before embarking on a three-week European adventure and decided to take this with me. I have veryyy prone-to-frizz 2c hair, and through all of the different cities and varying climates, this serum kept my hair soft, silky, and (mercifully!) frizz-free. I dare say I'll be keeping this in my hair regimen forever. Not to mention, it leaves your hair smelling absolutely delightful!

Promising review: "The scent is nice. I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've been using salon products for over a decade, and this is way better. And cheaper. I've even gotten compliments on how silky smooth my hair looks. I put it on while my hair is wet, then again when I style, if my hair gets frizzy from my flat-iron, and to tame flyaways. It's my favorite hair product I own." —Amy Wilt

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

4. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads that do their job so well, they turned this skeptical reviewer into a believer. They contain lactic acid, salicylic acid, and a dual-textured surface to help control excess sebum while exfoliating dead skin and refining pores, all while keeping you looking like a true ~glow-getter~.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it’s been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee El

Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles). 

5. A pore-clearing cleansing oil because it uses the calming powers of heartleaf oil to soothe irritated skin and eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion. It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Oh! Anddd reviewers say they use this as a step in their double cleansing routine. What the heck is that, you may ask? Well, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser, and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.

As a shopping writer, I am exposed to manyyy products on a day-to-day basis and let me tell you one thing: This is at the *top* of my list of favorite, most-used beauty products (and I'm saying this as an oily-skinned girlie)! This cleansing oil takes the definition of clean skin to a WHOLE other level. You can literally feel it pulling out all the gunk from your pores as you rub it around your face in a way that a normal facial cleanser alone could never do. I've been using it for about a year now (so I can def give the test of time stamp of approval), but even a week into using it, my skin was glowing all on its own like it never had before. Follow it up with a good , and you're golden. 😍

Promising review: "This stuff is the holy grail of pore unclogging products!!!! I have never in my life seen my skin look this clean and clear. I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my skin congestion, and this stuff is like a power washer for your face! I remove my makeup with a makeup balm, rinse, dry my face, rub the oil all over my face for about two minutes, use a warm wash cloth to remove the oil, and follow with my regular face wash. Boom. Glowing, gorgeous skin with itty bitty clean pores. I’ll buy this stuff forever!!!" —Susan Clark

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

6. A reviewer-beloved teeth-whitening pen — you'll see the difference almost immediately, and it'll help you avoid having to go get it done by a pro. It's painless, minty fresh, and helps whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market but this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95 (available in three pack sizes).

7. A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation that's got the whole TikTok beauty community in a chokehold.

Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.

Promising reviews: "I love Love LOVE this foundation! I’m throwing out every other foundation I own! I have pink undertones from redness, and I’ve always struggled to find a foundation that matched me well that didn’t leave a yellow-looking finish. This was it!!!! I was really skeptical at first, but figured, hey, why not try it! It gives such a natural look. It’s not cakey and doesn’t separate on my skin like other foundations I’ve used. I tried it with and without primer, and it looked awesome either way! I used it with their setting spray and color me impressed! This is now my forever foundation!" —Sharon

"Flight attendant here. Travel-friendly. I'm a fair neutral skin tone, and it's not too pink, not too warm. It's the perfect neutral color. Looks like skin! I just ordered the pink version that's supposed to be more matte just to try a different consistency because this does so well on my skin. If you are using a drugstore foundation, trash it and order this. Those warm tones after time that happen with affordable foundations DOES NOT HAPPEN with this formula. Will continue to order forever. Goes on in a thin layer. 10/10!" —Sav

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match).

8. A TikTok-famous VieBeauti eyelash growth serum to help with upkeep when you can't make it to the esthetician for extensions. Apply to your lashes daily to help them become longer and stronger within just a few weeks! You'll be resisting the urge to flutter your lashes like a cartoon character every time your S.O. walks by in no time.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow wow wow! Let me tell you, about a year and a half ago, I got lash extensions. When the extensions were falling out, they were taking my real eyelashes with them. To the point where my lash line was bald! I literally had five lashes on one eye, nothing on the other. It was so bad. For about a year, I used a product that was $150, which really didn’t do much. My lashes were just terrible. Then I decided to switch to this product. Within three months, the growth and the fullness of my lashes were just mind-blowing!! My lashes with no mascara are longer than when mascara is added; my lashes look fake. Just unbelievable. I will forever and always use this lash serum. This is the one. Try it! Give it time! You WILL be happy!" —Danielle Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

9. A surprisingly effective instant foot-peeling spray that'll make your footsies so baby-soft and pretty, they'll be a good uh... backup plan (you know, in case your current career doesn't pan out 👀). This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but also moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. For an ~extra~ peeling effect, use an exfoliating mitt!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $5.48 (also available as a two-pack).

10. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment some reviewers say is even BETTER than Olaplex, which is over three times the price! It's infused with collagen, ceramides, and protein extracts to help repair your hair if it is damaged, over-processed, or has just spent too much time with that flat iron. Simply apply it on wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

11. A SeoulCeuticals toner mist — a powerful potion that not only hydrates and plumps your skin but is also a *miracle* worker on blemishes, helping keep those pesky breakouts at bay. It's made with 98% naturally derived ingredients like refreshing cucumber, antioxidant-rich green tea, tamarind, soothing aloe, and rejuvenating marine minerals for a perfect dose of dewy radiance.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

SeoulCeuticals is a small skincare business that was founded in 2017 by a husband and wife team.

Promising reviews: "I seriously am a believer in this whole line! I have turned family members, coworkers, and friends into using this product!!! I would always get cystic acne on my face. Since using the serum and essence, I hardly have breakouts, I have clearer skin, and less scarring! I LOVE this stuff and will buy this forever. :) Oh, and the smell is amazing!!!" —Tiffany

"I was actually hesitant to buy this product because I figured it could just be hyped-up fancy water. It is NOT. For me, at least, it is a miracle in a bottle! For the past few years, I’ve suffered from dry, flaky, rough skin. I had found some products that would help to some degree, but none that would eliminate the problem. Well, when I tried another product in this line (the snail repair cream), I noticed a BIG difference. HOWEVER, when I added this product to my regimen? Holy guacamole, Batman! My skin is SO soft, hydrated, and SMOOTH! My foundation (well, CC cream) goes on like a dream! The two products together worked wonders, BUT even when I use this product alone with absolutely nothing else (out of sheer laziness, mind you), my skin still looks dewy, smooth, hydrated, and glowing! I’m sold! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. It even helps keep my normally dry, chapped, peeling lips baby smooth! Life changing, I tell ya." —M. Joiner

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two versions).

12. A cruelty-free under-eye brightener to help balance out the bluish tones of under-eye shadows and dark circles. And bonus! It's infused with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish your skin and give you a radiant glow. Wear it by itself or under your concealer for a more full-coverage look!

www.amazon.com

To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.

Promising review: "Would give you 20 stars if I could. I am a 56-year-old and I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup. I ordered this and use it under my eyes and just a dab on my eyelids, followed by nothing else but mascara and a little pink blush. I look blushing and vibrant and not overdone, and you can’t even tell that you’re wearing it, it’s so lightweight. I am a forever customer. Thank you for helping me to feel good about myself." —Debbie

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

13. A paraben-free self-tanner with a dreamy mousse formula that glides over your skin smoothly, ensuring an even application without those pesky streaks. In just one hour, you'll be glowing like you just got back from an exotic, tropical getaway — and you didn't even have to step a foot outside.

www.amazon.com

It's also vegan, cruelty free, made from recycled materials, and *doesn't* leave any gross fake tan smells!

Promising review: “You HAVE to buy this! I love to have some color. I have been awful my whole life about not wearing sunblock. I have tried and spent a small fortune on self-tanners. This one will forever be my go-to. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on how nice my tan looks. I was even asked if I had just gotten back from vacationing in Hawaii! What makes this self-tanner so perfect is the color you get from it. It has violet undertones, so you DO NOT look orange. Every time someone compliments me I tell them it's a self-tanner and they can't believe it! I use a mitt to apply, and I don't have any issues with streaking. What makes this product even better is the price! Don't waste your money on getting a spray tan. This is SO MUCH better and cheaper!" —lisa clark

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in five tanning levels and 12 styles).

14. Dermora's foot exfoliation mask — you apply the two bootie-shaped masks on your feet for an hour, wash your feet, and then, over the next five to seven days, enjoy the disgustingly satisfying experience of watching all of your dead skin fall away to reveal baby-soft feet. Reviewers swear by this for calluses and rough, cracked skin!

Promising review: "This mask works like magic. I started to get dry, hard callus feet. I read the reviews online and decided to give it a try. About five days later, I used the foot mask, and my feet started peeling for about two days. After two days, my feet were as soft as a newborn baby's feet. I no longer had any calluses. It is so worth it. I’m a forever customer." —robyn hudson

It also works *chef's kiss* wonders when it comes to minimizing the appearance of spots, blemishes, and pores!

Promising review: "I will forever buy this primer as long as it's available! I've used many primers from low-end drugstore to high-end. And this is AMAZING! I have very large pores, and this has an instant blurring effect! You may need to play around with how you apply your foundation with this. Figure out if you should use a makeup brush or a sponge, and if that sponge needs to be damp or dry. Whatever works best with your face and this primer. Excellent price. Highly recommend!!" —Cassandra Drake

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two styles and multipacks).

Promising reviews: "I have very oily skin and extremely oily eyelids. I never gave it much thought, just assumed it was something I had to live with. I'm not a big makeup person (oily skin, yo) but I picked up some pretty Urban Decay palettes on sale and wanted to give them a fighting chance. I came across this product and with all the positive reviews, decided to give it a try. Where has this been all my life? It's lightweight, evens out the skin tone on my lids, and keeps my eye makeup looking great all day. Now I even wear the primer by itself with no makeup because of the oil control. I'll be buying this stuff forever." —amarch99

I'm not only using this on my neck and chest, but also on my face, and the lines around my chin are not as noticeable as before I started using this product. I keep it bedside and even after my nightly skincare routine. I apply right before bed, and I'm not kidding, by morning my skin is looking great!! I highly recommend.

Promising review: "This product is amazing! I originally bought this spray for my daughter's ear piercings. After reading the reviews, I tried it on my face. I have persistent adult acne, and this spray significantly reduced the amount of acne on my skin in less than 24 hours! I sprayed my face and problem areas a few times throughout the day, and this product worked wonders! I cannot wait to see what it does over long-term usage. I have since applied it to dry cracked skin on my feet, mosquito bites, and Poison Ivy rash — it treats everything. I would like to buy a bathtub of this product. It is amazing, and I will forever be a repeat customer! This is the first product that has EVER worked for my acne issues. Thank you, Briotech!!!

Promising review: "Okay, this is an honest review. I was SUPER skeptical because I've always been a spray dry shampoo girly, and I thought I was going to die on that hill. We've all been there... in a pinch and out of our dry shampoo and resorted to random powders and suffered the consequences and had to end up washing out hair while already running late. I have super fine hair, and it gets oily in the blink of an eye — even six hours post-shower. I tried this product skeptically, but I am impressed! Literally three dabs and my hair is happy, shiny, and volumized as if I just used a blow dryer! No drowning myself in a Batiste cloud! I'm adding this to my routine forever." —Chloe Plummer

The dark spots on my elbows are nearly gone and still fading with every use, my overall skin texture is smooth like a fresh-buttered baby, and there's been a HUGE improvement in fine lines and dark spots from skin damage. Every aspect of my skin has improved from head to toe. And yes, I use this on my face, too. It purges all of the nasties from your skin. If it dries you out, just stack it with another moisturizer. Point is, if you actually stick with this and understand what retinol is, what it does, and how it works, then you'll love this lotion. It is 100% worth every penny." —Dove

27. A Wonderskin lip stain, which reviewers rave about because of how true it is to its long-lasting, transfer-resistant reputation! It glides on as a vibrant blue hue that you can peel off to reveal an adorable, rosy lip stain. So treat yourself, and ~kiss~ those constant lipstick re-applications goodbye. 💋

Promising review: "This is the absolutely best lip stain color I have ever used. It goes on amazingly and it does not leak out of the lines. It's absolutely beautiful. I have ordered three of them and am getting ready to order two more. This is my new go-to lip color forever. It's worth every penny. The two colors I received today are beautiful and darling. I'm still waiting on the other one I ordered — you really can't go wrong. I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with this stuff, it's pretty cool." —Lilly Layne

28. An *iconic* Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer (with over 400,000 5-star ratings!!!) that will save you more than double the time it takes you to style your hair with a traditional blow-dryer and round brush — it'll give you soft, smooth waves with just a few passes!

The oval brush design smooths the hair, and the round edges create volume, leaving you with a salon-worthy blowout at home. It also has two heat and speed settings and a cool option, and it's designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it worked for them. 

Promising review: "I LOVED my Revlon brush until one day it fell while I was blow drying and broke. I went a few weeks without one and came across an Amika brush from the eyebrow salon I go to. It’s been about a year, and it seems like every time I blow dry, it’s harder and harder to style; my hair isn’t doing what it’s supposed to. It didn’t feel shiny or soft, and I had to go over parts OVER AND OVER again, and in the end it would still look dirty, and the style would not stay. I finally had enough and said I will buy my Revlon again. Within MINUTES, my jaw dropped. No joke. My hair was shiny and SO SOFT! I did not have to go over the pieces several times; it took me maybe seven minutes to blow dry my entire head of hair vs 20 with the other brush. I am so, so, so happy I bought this again. I will be a forever customer. Thank you!" —Amanda Hana

Promising review: "To preface, I have very thick, mid-back length hair. This thing works like a freaking charm. I suck at doing my own hair and can't even put my own hair into a tight braid, but I can do this. I followed the video that is linked when you buy the product, and it was actually quite easy. I love that you can adjust your curls by the tightness or looseness of your wrapping, putting larger sections of hair in to create bigger beachwaves, etc. I also sleep in this and have never woken up with a headache or with the band having fallen out or anything. And even with my thick, heavy hair, the curls stay in all day. It's awesome. I will have one of these forever." —Jessie Pilk

30. A lightly tinted nail concealer to give your nails a milky, healthy-looking glow. It's perfect for covering up any discoloration, or if you're just a minimalist looking for something that'll give your nails a soft, flawless finish.

Promising review: "BEST!! WE LOVE IT! I'll never use anything else — FOREVER CUSTOMER! Best and easiest one-coat needed nail polish ever, looks so classy and stays for so long. Mine lasted for two weeks, it was amazing! It looks fantastic and lasts for weeks as opposed to a couple of days! Easy to use, literally cannot mess it up, always looks good, and dries quickly. My nails have grown longer in the couple of months of regular use and are super hard now, and they were so flimsy before. I’m so grateful for this nail polish, I LOVE IT — I’m going to buy every color! I’d pay $50 if I had to. My nails have never been nice — I finally feel put together! ♥️💕♥️♥️♥️" —V C True
