Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter all the time, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me, eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month I finally gave in, and boy it is amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer and it doesn't leave a disgusting greasy feel as Vaseline. Take it from a once nonbeliever, you have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki

Promising review: "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 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 me." —LuckLocust

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in 13 shades, a jumbo size, and multipacks).

Promising reviews: "I’ve been searching for the holy grail of lip balms and THIS IS IT. Seriously. I’ve been on the hunt for years, using everything from fancy French balms to plain organic nut butters, and have always needed to reapply hourly. This stuff is magic. Just the tiniest dot keeps my lips super soft and hydrated for hours, even through drinking and eating. The grapefruit smells great, but isn’t overwhelming. I’ll never go back to anything else." —Spectacle

"TikTok made me buy and I am not mad. This is my go-to lip gloss and I definitely plan on buying more. I also didn’t realize I have the Laneige sleep mask I got from an Ipsy bag and just like to say, this company's products are really good. One of my faves overall!!" —Nadine Perez

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in nine scents and bundles).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn’t seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair, and then after it’s dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I’ll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I’ve been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I’ve barely made a dent in it. Love it!" —Noley

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

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! 

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 that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

13. An Elizavecca carbonated clay mask that turns your face into a foamy cloud as it works to unclog pores, leaving your skin feeling squeaky clean thanks to the blend of charcoal, green tea, and collagen. It starts as a smooth gray paste and turns frothy as it reacts with air, creating a tickling sensation that's both fun and effective. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been buying this mask for a little over a year now and can verify that it is totally worth the hype. I have relatively dry skin, but while I never had acne when I was younger, I quit hormonal birth control a few years ago, and since then have started breaking out shortly after ovulation. I tried many more expensive masks, but I also have very sensitive skin, and previous products either left me itchy and irritated or had no effect. This mask has completely cured all of my skin problems. If I remember to put it on the night I think I've ovulated, I have zero zits, and if I forget and some start to show up, I do the mask, and the zits have significantly retreated by the next morning. I only need to use it a few times a month, so it takes me several months to go through a jar. I would pay four times more for this product if I had to!" —carof

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the best eyebrow product I’ve ever used and so the price and ease of ordering makes me happy. I love that it has a brush wand on the other end so I can blend and refine my coloring with a quick flip and brush of the pencil/wand. The pencil itself has the perfect width and length and it’s in a beveled diagonal shape, which I’ve never had in a pencil before and I found it works the best for drawing more naturally. Plus, these pencils last me a long, long time! It’s the longest-lasting pencil I’ve ever used. I hope they never change these or take them away from me because I’d always been frustrated by eyebrow pencils before finding this one." —Lisa N. Hyman

Get it from Amazon for $4.70+ (available in six shades).

15. A lightweight blurring primer to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and pores by creating a smooth base for even makeup application — while *also* giving you a lovely, natural glow. It provides a flawless finish to any makeup look and keeps it in place all day!

Promising review: "I wanted to give this product 10 stars but was only limited to five :( This stuff is AMAZING!!!! I'm almost 30 and my face has become super oily — like I can fry chicken on it by the end of the day. So for months I've neglected wearing any kind of foundation or makeup in general. After reading reviews I figured I would give this a try. The glow it gives you is AWESOME!!! It makes my skin so soft. I'm probably going to wear just this and no foundation 50% of the time. After the Texas heat...and the sun..and amounts of sweat...my face was PERFECT...STILL! No oil...no smears...no pores...This is literally sent from heaven!!!! My ONLY dislike is the fact that you can't purchase this in 5-gallon buckets!" —Jessica

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

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

Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." —AJ Bond

Get it from Amazon for $21 (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match).

17. An Innisfree daily UV defense sunscreen with SPF 36 that gives your skin a nice, glowing finish without leaving any white cast.

It's safe to say this is much more nourishing than your average sunscreen. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

"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+ (available in two sizes).

18. An adorable hydrating eye stick that cools and smooths to help lessen dark circles. Just keep it in the fridge and roll it under your eyes before you head out — a perfect quick de-puff remedy so your face can feel snatched!

You’ll immediately notice a difference." —Kenny Vasquez

"When I tell you my skin hasn’t been this clear in forever. I have PCOS and hirsutism, which causes me to grow hair on my neck and chin. I’m also a skin picker so clearing my skin has been really difficult for me. But this product has saved my skin.

Promising review: "My go-to cleansing oil. It melts makeup and SPF quickly and without much effort. I like using it more as a skin cleanser than a makeup remover just because it has helped my skin glow by making my skin texture better and getting rid of blackheads!" —Ravishankar Rao

One pump I can use on my face and neck. It doesn’t have a smell to it. It has a thicker, sticky consistency when you first pump it out, but it dries quickly and smoothly. I’ve been using this for about three months and have seen quite a difference in how soft my skin feels." —Angelica Hall

Get it from Amazon for $17.

22. A Some By Mi Miracle toner that combines three types of chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, and PHA) to gently remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover, revealing brighter, smoother skin. One reviewer even says this made them look 10 years younger!

After cleansing, soak your cotton pad with this stuff, gently wipe your face, and lightly tap for absorption. Follow up with moisturizer!

Promising review: "This stuff works! First of all, there was no purging period, which my acne-prone skin is grateful for. It also doesn't sting or smell harsh. Within a week of using this toner, I stopped having breakouts. My dark spots are slowly getting lighter, and my skin is starting to glow. I'm on my second bottle now, and I have nothing but good things to say. I really hope they never stop making this." —kem

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'm ALL about a glowy, dewy, natural look and this product has helped me achieve that, plus it's a great serum packed with goodies that your skin will thank you for! It's definitely worth it. And I will always recommend this to anyone. I use it twice a day, in the morning as the last step before my makeup routine and at night before moisturizer! If using it during the daytime, don't forget to use sunscreen because its vitamin and natural acid contents make skin a little more susceptible and sensitive to sunlight! Hope this helps.  :)" —Andrea Velarde

It wasn’t until I started watching vids on Korean beauty that this oil cleanser kept being recommended, and I decided to give it a try. Worth. Every. Penny. You don’t need a lot to wash your whole face, and it gets the job done well, leaving my face super refreshed afterward. Of course, I’ve been using other Korean beauty products, so I won’t give it full credit, but I do think it’s helped out my acne a lot." —A Flying Potato

LOVE the smell of this stuff, it’s a very bright citrusy scent I can’t describe fully that just smells like you are happy to be alive lol. Oh, AND I looked up the ingredients of this stuff on the EWG website, and it had pretty good safety ratings! After using this consecutively for a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a significant brightening effect and anti-acne effect! I think this is due to the active ingredients being for skin barrier health, so the skin is less likely to break out. And the evening of my skin tone is just an added benefit!" —CatLover222
