It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin.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.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 a bout 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 cleaser, and you're golden. 😍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]." — rexichorGet it from Amazon for $17.69 (also available in a mild formula for sensitive skin).And their deep cleansing foam that enlists the magic of heartleaf extract yet again.

If lasting radiance is what you're looking for, this is just the ticket.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 + kiwiGet it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles)., A whitening toothpaste that'll have you flashing that gorgeous smile of yours more often.

But after a week of using, there is a difference. The age beige is disappearing my teeth are much whiter and on the way to being much brighter. My breath is much fresher and without my buds being tasteless. Yes, it does taste and even smell like Pepto Bismol — but it's absolutely magical. No more regular toothpaste that absolutely does nothing but leave an unpleasant scent in your mouth as if you didn't brush." — Angelique Cox"I have never had a toothpaste make my teeth slay this hard. They’re SO white. I was upset because I had been through so many teeth whitening treatments, and yet my teeth were still yellow and felt stained. It’s been a few days, and my teeth already look at least seven shades lighter. There are so many toothpastes that say 'whitening' and don’t do the job, but this one ACTUALLY whitens, which feels like a rare find. It’s also minty, and my mouth feels super fresh every time I use it. If you’re tired of having yellow teeth, this toothpaste is going to do its job and blow you away!!

It works like a charm. I was worried it would weigh down my thin hair and make it oily (my hair gets oily by the end of the day!), but it does not. I apply just one squirt to the palm of my hand, rub, and apply lightly mid-way down to the ends (stay away from the roots), and it works great. Generous size, will last a few months.

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: "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.

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.

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.

Even after college, my back acne continued and left scars. Now I’m 25 and still work out a lot, so my back acne is persisting. All I ever wanted to do was wear a low open-back dress and feel comfortable. And unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance, so going to the dermatologist was out of the picture. About to give up and get laser treatment for my back, I ran across this wash and decided to give it a try. And WOW. I actually wish I had taken a before picture.

Ummm, this lipstick melts down into a gloss once applied — and that's what I call lip magic, baby. It has just the right amount of sheer tint and leaves that perfect glassy look.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.Get it from Amazon for $12.90 (available in 20 shades)., VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 Essence or, as I like to call it, the instant glow booster. It tingles as you apply it to your skin and works to gently cleanse impurities and support the skin’s natural renewal process. This reviewer calls it a miracle worker for textured skin and pores!Promising review: "Witchcraft in a bottle. I don't normally write reviews, but I am legitimately amazed by this product. I have been struggling with breakouts pretty badly lately and have spent tons of money on different products to help clear my skin. This is the ONLY one that made a REAL difference. I received the product right after I developed the worst cystic nodule I have ever had (and subsequently tried and failed to drain). It was so bad I didn't even leave the house except for work. I used this product before bed the night it arrived, and the nodule was SIGNIFICANTLY improved the very next morning. I have never seen anything like it. After a few short days, the nodule has almost completely disappeared (and is easily concealed under a bit of makeup) and the rest of my face has almost completely cleared." — RandiGet it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in four styles)., A Korean scrub mitt you can use in the bath or shower to achieve that buttery soft skin. It helps you gently lather off dead skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris. The best part? You can get specific about the exfoliation pressure, since it's on your own hand!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." — Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in a two-pack and in four other styles)., An Etude Dear Darling Oil Tint that gives you allll the pinky-toned gloss with none of the stickiness. This K-beauty staple effectively moisturizes lips, making it perfect to layer with the brand's reviewer-beloved Water Tint. The best part? It comes in various vibrant shades (plum berry is a fan fave)!Promising review: "These feel really great on the lips. They have a really cool jelly-like texture and leave a pretty shine. I didn’t find them to be sticky like a lip gloss at all. These Etude lip oils are similar in texture to the Kaja Beauty ones, which I also love. They can be quite pigmented, so I used a lighter hand for just a wash of color, as that is what I like! Nothing else on my lips. The lip oil leaves a pretty little stain behind once the shininess wears off. I find the product easy to reapply during the day without looking patchy or anything like that because of the gel-like texture. Overall, I would recommend!!! Definitely a fan! Oh, and the smell to me is very pleasant." — MarsGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).Amazon, Or a Peripera glowy lip tint because heartbreak is one thing, but a cracked, dry feeling on your lips is another. This looks and feels like a juicy gloss, but the pigment actually sticks around for hours. What makes this tint different? It's infused with lily and witch hazel extracts so your skin stays soft, hydrated, and adorably pouty.Promising review: "I recently discovered the world of K-beauty and was searching for a lip stain that offered a natural, yet noticeable tint, without the dreaded dry feeling or quick fade. I decided to try shades 3 and 5 of this particular brand after hearing they are the most popular shades in Korea, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! The color payoff is beautiful – a subtle, natural flush that enhances my lips without looking overdone. What truly impressed me is the longevity; the stain stays put for hours, even through meals and drinks, which is a huge plus. It also applies with a lovely, subtle gloss, giving my lips a healthy sheen. While the initial gloss is nice, if you prefer a high-shine look throughout the day, you might want to pair it with a clear gloss." — JessicaGet it from Amazon for $9.69 (available in 15 shades).A popular pack of Skin1004 8-in-1 treatment masks, which gives eerily similar results to the viral Hanacure mask. Seriously — its almost-immediate results should basically be considered skin sorcery. These fast-acting masks are made with albumin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica extract to hydrate and lift your skin, tighten enlarged pores, clear small breakouts, and give you that "just came fresh from the spa" glow.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 DaneGet a box with eight masks from Amazon for $14.94 (also available as a two-pack)., Cosrx Blackhead Power Liquid made with willow bark water to mattify and exfoliate your skin, making enlarged pores look smaller and helping to prevent breakouts. Radiant skin, here you come.After cleansing your skin, apply the essence using your hands (or a cotton pad) and wipe gently over your face. And don't forget to apply SPF afterwards when using it in the morning!Before getting this product about five months ago, I'd never used a liquid, leave-on exfoliant like this. I'm so glad I did! It's such a gentle, easy way of giving your pores the extra cleansing step that they usually need. Not only has it minimized my pores more than any of the other dozens of exfoliators I've tried, but it's also been the best at preventing breakouts and promoting clear skin!Promising review: "I struggle so bad with my pores cause they’ve always looked so huge, but after just a week using this, I can already see them shrinking down and becoming smaller. I was a little nervous about using an oil-like serum like this on my T-zone because I have combo skin and always get oily around my nose and chin, but it honestly hasn’t affected my skin whatsoever. There also isn’t really a scent to it, which is awesome. It leaves my skin feeling really moisturized. It’s a good buy and I definitely recommend this and rave about this." — Berika JonesGet it from Amazon for $18.07.
