Take it from me, you want *a backup for your backup* of this silky lip balm.

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

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 formula for sensitive skin).

Promising review: "Not any of the many I’ve tried throughout my life have worked as incredibly as this one has. I’ve had top recommended brand cleansers that required two washes to thoroughly cleanse it all off. Not with this one. And the scent is wonderful!! I love it even more for that! The size of the bottle is much bigger than I expected and for such a great price!! Highly recommended!" —Carlos

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

Promising review: "I saw this product mentioned in so many articles about cheap products that are great. I don't know what took me so long to purchase this, but I am kicking myself for waiting!! My hair is DAMAGED. Beyond fried. I've bleached it so many times. I am consistently changing my hair color, and while the semi-permanent dyes don't hurt it, the bleach sure does! My hair always feels like straw. My hair looks and feels INCREDIBLE!!! It is so soft and I am just absolutely in love! This will forever be used by me from now on!" —Krystle

This serum also offers heat protection up to 446 degrees F, so it's great to apply before any heat styling. Plus! Reviewers compare this to the $46 Gisou hair oil!

Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow dry it, I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

Promising review: "My feet have been dryyyyy since having my kiddos (maybe hormonal, idk) and I've been using the metal grater regularly, lotions and creams nightly, pedicures with callus removal monthly, the list goes on. I'm shocked at how well these socks work! One time used so far, and my feet feel amazing! Better than all the other things I mentioned. I didn't get the peel ones cuz I've done that once and don't feel like dealing with the peeling, so I'm talking about the non-peel moisturizing socks. Get them! 30 minutes of chilling with them before sleep time and you'll love your feet!" —EB

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!!" —Debby Gold

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 13 shades and multipacks).

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 nine shades and as a cute gift set).

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

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "This is one of my fave new everyday lip products. I have it in Tangerine Red, and the color is soft and subtle — I like that I can take it out and apply it without having to look in a mirror, like you would with lipstick — but at the same time, it makes a huge difference, making my lips look hydrated and my whole face more ~alive~ (especially on no-makeup days)."

Promising review: "Best lip balm I ever used! The color development is subtle, so it's good to use for bare face makeup, and I think it would be good to apply as a base!! As far as moisturizing power, it has good retention and it's hypoallergenic. I recommend to those who don't wear heavy makeup, those who are looking for a moist, colored lip balm." —Y.Lee

Get it from Amazon for $12 (also available in seven shades).

Promising reviews: "This has been THEEE best product for my dry sensitive skin. These pads are brightening and helped my uneven skin texture. I didn’t know these pads would change my skin completely!! I’ll be repurchasing forever, best skincare product I’ve used in a long time, you NEED THIS! 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. I’m still working on my skin picking but when I don’t, these pads help to exfoliate and help with the dark marks. Thank Anua!" —Jessyca Renee

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 on at night and use a vitamin C serum by murad in the morning. I love this product! You can feel and see a different after one use." —AJ

You can read more about the brand here!

Promising review: "I’m on my fourth or fifth bottle of this stuff, I use it as a daily toner and I must say that it is AMAZING. My skin is even and bright. I look like a buttery roll or a glazed donut and I love it. My skin has never loved me more. I also pair this with their serum, along with a strict skincare routine." —Victoria Del La Torre

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

It's fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin!

Promising review: "My new favorite moisturizer. It doesn't leave skin greasy. It instantly makes my skin comfortable and calm. It is unscented and leaves skin with a good texture. Works much better than much more expensive alternatives." —Carolyn Raney Mason

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

Promising review: "This stuff works! First off 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 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 $17.40+ (available in three sizes).

Promising reviews: "I swear to you, this stuff is magical. My makeup never budges when I use this, and I don’t have to use that much. You can take it off with micellar water pretty easily, but I’m telling you I have ugly cried with this over my makeup and my makeup stayed. the. same. It’s the best. It also has the nicest bottle, it sprays really evenly over your face, and if it has any flaw, it’s probably that it makes your makeup a little TOO dewy, but I usually use a little powder over the parts of my face I don’t want to be highlighted and it works like a gem. Also definitely blurs my makeup very well. 10/10 would recommend!!!!" —Jennifier Moore

"I've fallen in love with this setting spray. It leaves the skin looking fresh, not shiny. It locks in makeup. The nozzle provides very fine misting. I think it's replaced my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray." —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $12.75 (also available in a semi-matte version).

Promising reviews: "This lip gloss glides on so well! It has a nice pigment, and I love that there are the 30% and 70%, which cater to different preferences. I got three of the 30% and one of the 70% because I like a more natural look. The packaging is also really cute! Korean lippies are the best!" —Sunny

"Feels like butter spun into silk on your lips. I have 70% currant, and I love it so much. I will be purchasing more shades! 😍" —Karli

Get it from Amazon for $17 (available in 17 colors).

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

Promising review: "This is my first time trying Korean makeup, and I’m very happy with my purchase! It feels like nothing I’ve ever tried before. I have oily skin, and this isn’t a matte product, but it’s not dewy either, which I love. It’s moisturizing, but not oily at all. I think any skin type can use it. It’s literally perfect. The application and the cushion made it go on my skin flawlessly. I wish I could give this 10 stars; it really exceeded my expectations! It will definitely be a staple in my makeup routine now." —Cathy

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and a mini size).

Promising reviews: "I bought this for my husband, who struggles with back acne and redness, especially after workouts. We weren't expecting instant results, but we took a before/after photo out of curiosity — and were genuinely surprised. After just one use, his skin looked noticeably less red and inflamed. The gel texture is refreshing, has a light tea tree scent (not overpowering), and lathers really well. It rinses clean without leaving any residue or dryness. We’ll keep using it daily to see how it works long-term, but this first impression is honestly impressive. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a gentle yet effective body acne wash that actually shows results." —Sherry Ann

"If you use this constantly, you definitely will see progress with your KP skin. Lathers really well, so one pump is enough. Moisturize after using." —Destiny

Promising review: "I'm 44 and for the past four years my skin has been throwing a hissy fit. No matter what I tried my pores were screaming through my makeup. You know what I mean? Makeup sinking into the pores will turn any good foundation into a pool party on your face. Finally, a month ago I found this and it really works. I have combo-dry skin, weather depending and it doesn't make my skin oily. My foundation sets nicely over it (no sinking) and stays on for about eight hours before needing a touchup. And of course my pores...barely visible!!!! I'm happy!" —KPak

The keychain will come empty *but* it is intended for you to fill it up with product from the included jelly pot.

Promising review: "So so adorable! It came packaged so well and came with the keychain! I bought two of these and got the color Squeezed and Rosy Glaze. I also bought a little silicone stick so I don't dirty my hands while putting this on!" —rosiemify

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 18 shades).

Promising review: "These have become my FAVORITE lip product. They feel like silky jelly on your lips. They don’t dehydrate them or dry them out. They give a gorgeous plumping effect that makes them look bigger and fuller. The colors are nice. I have three different ones and use them all regularly mixing them with lip stains and lipsticks for fun. They combine nicely with other products but again, the fact that they don’t dry my lips out is great!" —Alyssa C.

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 $14.90 (available in a four and 16-count).

Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops but it didn't work as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" —아미

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 $7.95+ (available in seven shades).

Promising review: "I started using this amazing product because I was given a sample, and the first time I tried it, I knew it was something extra special. I could see a difference IMMEDIATELY (not kidding), and now I am a devout believer. This enzyme peel is the closest thing to getting an actual peel without the pain and the healing time — and cost — that’s required. I now use it 2–3 times a week. It really does have instant results. I sometimes even go without makeup now. And I am 58 years old. That’s impressive! Thanks Amore Pacific!" —Katharine Pope

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

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

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, 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 $13.10+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love this toner! I’ve finished the whole bottle. It’s light and moisturizing. I can definitely tell the difference, my skin is smoother and plump. I love it cause I have both oily and dry skin and it makes my skin normal again! Best of all it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, if anything it calms it down. Will definitely be buying again." —Rachael

Allergy info: This does contain nut products (like walnut seed extract). 

Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I have acne and had so many scars and dark spots but THIS PRODUCT!! After about two days of using it, my skin looked soooo much better. A staple in my routine, and I have refilled twice now." —sllaks

"Ok I actually wish I took a before and after picture. I’m a couple of days in and I should mention I have super sensitive skin. Very prone to breakouts and rashes. My skin looks like plastic. My pores that are usually huge are almost nonexistent. I will recommend this miracle to everyone. Also didn’t bother my skin in the slightest" —jeanqueen75
