Your skin is your largest organ, so yeah, you should get the best of the best products to take care of it.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase them for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slightly sticky residue behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glowed and felt smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother, and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles).

Promising review: “Loooove! The thickness of this cream is on another level. You can not compare it to anything that is out there. It is a must after every shower. The fragrance is so long-lasting. I will repurchase this for the rest of my life. I’ve enrolled in auto-ship and even received better pricing! The added bonus is the refill container, no need to purchase a new container each time! Press 'Buy now' immediately." —Jenn1970

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes and two-packs).

BuzzFeeder Emma Lord is a fan! Here's what she has to say: 

"I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying, and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."

Promising review: "WOW! I found this product from TikTok reviews, and it has been life-changing! I can't describe the smell, but I get compliments daily! I tell all my friends and family about this product, and after they've tried it, they all say the same thing. I will buy this product for the rest of my life!" —Alexei Franco

Check out a TikTok of the collagen bubble mask in action. 

Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting much from a 30-second mask, but wow — this one really surprised me! As a busy mom of two, I don’t have time for long routines, so I loved that this started bubbling up almost instantly and rinsed off super quick. Right after using it, my skin felt smoother, looked more refreshed, and had that healthy glow ✨—like I actually slept (which…I didn’t, haha). The collagen gave my skin a little bounce and firmness, too! It’s gentle, fun to use (the bubbles feel so satisfying!), and not drying at all. Definitely a must-have for moms who want that quick skincare win!" —Carmen Ponce

Get it from Amazon for $16.90+ (available in two sizes and four other styles). 

Promising review: "Alright… let me give you the lowdown on what an amazing product this is. I’m not lying when I say it does EXACTLY what it says it’s supposed to do. I bought the tube eight months ago, and I use it daily. A pea-sized amount is perfect for my neck area. The tube lasts a long time. I still have some left and bought it again. It’s scentless and rubs in quickly and smoothly, leaving no greasy feeling behind whatsoever. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but figured I’d give it a try. I always hated my hangy double chin. After eight months, I have the tightest, most beautiful neck. Dude, I have a new neck! I am delighted!! I think I paid like $12 for it at the time. Worth it!!! I will use this stuff every day for the rest of my life. Goldbond makes amazing products." —Gloria Betters

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a three-pack).

Check out a TikTok of the wrinkle balm in action. 

Promising review: "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+ (available in six other formulas). 

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? Wherrrrrre??? 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 $19+ (available in two quantities and four versions)

Promising reviews: "I love these masks! I have had a lifelong battle of fighting acne and combination skin. Some spots are super oily, and others are super dry. Using this mask 2–3 times a week has improved my overall appearance, and when I do have a breakout, it’s nowhere near as bad." —Miranda

"Jimin of BTS recommended this sheet mask in one of his lives. Then, when I went to the Agust D concert, the Army who sat next to me gifted me three of these sheet masks along with some Yoongi photocards <33 The sheet masks are simply amazing. They hydrate my skin and my pores have gotten much better after using them a couple of times. Definitely recommend!!" —Arpita S.

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.

Promising review: "I’ve had dark circles under my eyes since I was a kid. I always hated them and used makeup to cover them so I didn’t look like I had two black eyes. I did my research and read the reviews, and figured, why not give it a try? Idk what’s in this stuff, but my dark circles disappeared within five minutes. I am sooo happy!!!! I will keep this in my skincare routine for the rest of my life!!!" —Latoya Jackson

Promising review: "What is this miracle in a jar?! The way my skin was so smooth right after the first use was wild. I will buy these for the rest of my life as long as I am breathing. This is now my FAVORITE skin product besides my sunscreen. Love, love, loooove." —Ryan M.

Promising review: "I opened this and immediately DROWNED myself in this oil. It smells so good. This will be a monthly repurchase for me for the rest of my life. The smell is SO yummy and easy to layer. 10/10 I am HOOKED." —Brenna Livingston

Promising review: "I've been using this stuff since infancy and I plan to use it for the rest of my life. Great product." —Paul Leonard

Take it from BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord: 

"FWIW re: scars, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."

Promising review: "I have lost 70 pounds so far this year. I had brutal, red/purple stretch marks going up my stomach, thighs, hips, chest, and back. I knew losing weight, I’d probably get even more, but instead I decided to try this. I have used it every other day for the last three months, and the difference is ASTONISHING. I have never felt so confident in my life, and I’m not scared of people seeing my stomach anymore. It’s also evened out the skin tone on my inner thighs, which were dark from hyperpigmentation, etc. I will recommend this to anyone who will listen and show them this photo, and they’re amazed! Every other option I saw was so freaking expensive, and for $26 for a 6.7-ounce bottle, I was able to change my skin and get rid of my stretch marks. 100000/10 and I WILL use this for the rest of my life. You can count on that." —Alexis Clingenpeel

Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "I delayed writing this review for a while now since I wanted to use the product over a few months in order to give an honest review. For years now, I have been looking for the 'miracle product,' which may not fully exist, but this is 99.9% there. I struggled with adult acne, and I was beginning to feel like I would never reach an age where I would stop fighting it! I tried this product reluctantly after several attempts with other products. This is it, guys. My face cleared within a week or so, and I have yet to have another breakout as I had before. Now my face isn’t *perfect*, by any means, but this is the ONLY product that has given me quality, long-lasting results. If you’re on the fence, try the travel-size bottle. The travel size lasted me five months with very regular use. I would give it 20 stars if I could. Ordering again right now for the second time, but I will likely be ordering this for the rest of my life. New diehard fan here!" —Queen Tara

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "Second time buying this and will continue to buy it for the rest of my life. The key to oil cleaners is to follow with a foaming cleanser, and I use the Anua gentle foaming cleanser. Makes my skin feel so clean and gently exfoliates and leaves my skin, leaving it so, so soft. I rub the oil cleanser into my more problematic areas — my nose and chin — for a bit longer to really get in there, and the sebum visibly comes out." —Kamila Cherneta

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising reviews: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —Tlong

Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in two styles). 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing and life-changing. I used to get the worst ingrowns in my bikini area from waxing and shaving, even if I used the $40 product that the waxing salon sold. Somehow, I found this product online, and it works extremely well. I no longer get bad ingrowns (have to clean up a little with tweezers after a few days, but NOTHING compared to what I'm used to), and I've gone back to shaving instead of waxing to save a little bit of money. Truly an amazing product. I will probably be buying this for the rest of my life..." —Christie

Promising review: "Skeptical about the price, only used one time. I am very happy with my results. I am 59, and my pores tightened and cleaned up right away! I highly recommend, if you want to spend the money. It is pretty easy to use. I didn't get paid or receive this as a gift. This is just a straight consumer review." —LindaVW

Get it from Shark for $399.99 (available in three colors).

Check out a TikTok of the Volufiline plumping serum in action.

Promising reviews: "I’ve been using this serum consistently, and I’m honestly really impressed with the results. It gives my skin a much plumper, smoother, and more hydrated look, especially in areas where I wanted a little more fullness. It absorbs well, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and layers nicely with my other skincare products. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks healthier, more supple, and just overall more refreshed. A little goes a long way, so it lasts a while too. Definitely one of those products you have to be patient and consistent with, but it’s absolutely worth it!" —Amanda

"I am a 67-year-old woman, and I can honestly tell you that this serum is one of the most effective products I have ever used on my skin. It really does a beautiful job in plumping the skin. I use it every other day or three times a week for maintenance. Thank you to The Ordinary for formulating such an effective product at an affordable price." —Debbie Gordiany

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 callous 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 styles).

Check out a TikTok of the acne-banishing body spray in action. 

Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in different pack sizes and other versions).

Promising review (for photos above): "These photos were taken just FOUR days apart after using this product two times a day. I heard about this product on TikTok, and am SO happy I gave it a try. I am now on my second tube. It is soothing and lightweight, and I will continue to purchase this product again and again!" —Jenna Shaner

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes and two-packs).

It should go without saying that there's nothing wrong with wrinkles, and that trying to make them less visible is a personal choice!

Promising review: "This magical stick is like a time machine for my face. Five days in, and I'm practically Benjamin Button-ing my way through life. It glides on smoother than a buttered-up dance floor, leaving my skin so hydrated that even the Sahara would be jealous. No rubbing required — just swipe and strut. One stick lasts longer than my last relationship, and trust me, that's saying something. Who needs Photoshop when you've got this miracle worker?" —Susan d.

Promising review: "Where was this years ago? Works great for sebaceous filaments on the nose, clears them up well. It's a powder, but as soon as you rub it onto your finger or skin, it turns creamy. A little goes a long way." —Anon

It comes in coconut coffee or coconut vanilla (shown above), and other delicious flavors too!

Bare Botanics is the small biz behind this amazing scrub, which is handcrafted in Madison, Wisconsin!

Promising review: "I love anything coffee-related and have tried a few different body scrubs, but this one is by far the best! My skin feels silky smooth, like satin, which is amazing because my skin is normally very dry. The silky satin feeling lasts for days. I have been using this scrub for about two weeks, and I’m obsessed — the first week I used it twice, but realized I didn’t need to use it more than once a week. You can smell the coconut and coffee, but it’s not strong or overwhelming. If you are looking for a body scrub that has a pleasant scent and will leave your skin feeling silky smooth for days, then I highly recommend!" —Stephanie Wortham

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in nine scents). 

Make sure to shake before using and apply to areas that will be exposed to UV rays.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Gabriela Manjarrez says: "That's me in the pic shown above! Although I was in the chilly Swiss Alps, that sun was *strong*. And when I tell y'all, I am picky with sunscreen...I am PICKY. No matter what, it has to be lightweight, non-greasy (my oily skin doesn't need any help looking shiny lol), virtually invisible on my skin, and it has to work well as a base layer for other products like tinted serums and foundation. I found my perfect match in this sunscreen. It protects my skin while still letting it breathe and allowing its natural glow to peek through. It also dries down to a *true* silk-matte finish and mixes super well with your daily moisturizer!"

Promising review: "I’ve been using this sunscreen for a long time and I always end up coming back to it. The texture is very lightweight and fluid, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy. It blends easily, leaves no white cast at all (which is extremely important to me), and works perfectly under makeup. I have sensitive, dry skin and this sunscreen has never irritated me or caused breakouts. What I really appreciate is how comfortable it feels throughout the day. It doesn’t pill, doesn’t sting my eyes, and it gives a natural finish that looks good whether I’m wearing makeup or not. It’s one of those products you can apply in the morning and forget about because it just does its job quietly and well." —Marcela

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in a stick form).

Check out a TikTok of the Retinal Skin Booster in action. 

Promising review: "Almost two weeks and my skin has been doing great! I replaced my AHA toner from Paula’s Choice with this and found that it has been more gentle and made my skin glow immediately the next morning. I still like my AHA toner, but this really helped with my pores and skin texture. I used tretinoin before, and I found that it was harder to spread. The consistency of this formula made it so easy to spread throughout my face and neck! Not to mention the price is a steal! Loving this product so much! I am acne-prone (hormonal acne around the jaw) with combination skin (very oily and very dry), and this really helped even out everything." —T. 

It comes with 50 papers, 10 adhesive refills, and a compact mirror.

Promising reviews: "Best lil' invention ever! I actually enjoy blotting my face now! It's way too easy! For such a simple set-up, there was a whole lot of thought put into it! I literally smile every time I grab for it. I use it on days I don't even wear makeup, like when my SPF is too glowy, or it's really humid out. Literally the coolest, and I like not having to press a piece of paper onto my face; it feels more sanitary. Totally worth its very affordable price!" —turtlegonfab

"I have super oily skin, and these blotting sheets are a lifesaver! They soak up excess oil without disturbing my makeup, leaving my face looking fresh and matte. Super easy to use on the go. I keep a few in my purse for midday touch-ups. Definitely a must-have for anyone with oily skin!" —Danyazah
