Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

I mean, who has the time to deal with acne and wrinkles anymore? This nifty liquid gently exfoliates pore-clogging annoyances so you can have a Clear Face Summer.

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I cannot believe how quickly this exfoliator cleared up and soothed my angry, persistent hormonal chin acne, I am absolutely floored!”

Kale + Green Tea Superfood Face Cleanser

Just a quick explainer on how good this cleanser is: It’s so good, I actually get excited to wash my face at night just so I can use it.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This is the perfect light, water based cleanser. I use it every morning and it leaves my skin feeling clean, hydrated, and bright! It is pricey but it lasts me about 2 months so I believe it’s worth the money!”

UV Clear Facial Sunscreen

This is the favorite of supermodels and actresses for a reason. It’s invisible, barely-there, and works. Similar to me in middle school.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I can’t emphasize how much I love this sunscreen!!! I’ve tried several different sunscreens for acne-prone skin and they are good, but this is great! It absorbs well, doesn't leave a white cast, stays in place, doesn’t get in my eyes during the day, doesn't break me out, and it just feels like putting on another moisturizer.”

Luna Sleeping Night Oil

I think the biggest Disney myth we were fed is that Sleeping Beauty woke up looking great. But maybe that’s just because she slathered some of this nighttime oil on her face before being cursed or whatever.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This is hands down one of the best retinol oils. Yes it’s a bit expensive but truly works great. Face very smooth and moisturized.”

Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Facial Serum

Designed to treat deep wrinkles–not just those cute crow’s feet–this serum utilizes retinol to tighten and lift aging skin so it’s youthful and perky again.

Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I wish I had taken before photos. I’ve been using RoC for less than two weeks. The lines around my lips are practically gone. The deep wrinkles in my forehead are faded and much less noticeable. It works better than I could have imagined.”

The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser

This must-have cleanser uses probiotics to deeply nourish and care for stressed out skin. This is great to use right before bed, so you can wash off the day and wake up to clear, happy skin.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “My daughter has very sensitive skin and this face wash not only helped clear up her skin but didn’t irritate or burn at all.”

Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic

Has being inside for a full calendar year diminished your skin's glow factor? Yeah, same. This skin tonic gently exfoliates for a brighter complexion that will make your ex regret they broke up with you over Zoom.

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I love this toner! I love how it makes my skin feels deeply clean. After applying this toner I can feel and see the difference. My skin feels so refreshing, and I also love the fact it gives me a radiant glow.”

Skin Vitamin C Serum

For dark spots and pesky hyperpigmentation, this serum uses Vitamin C, collagen, and antioxidant heavy natural extracts to even tone for the best skin of your life.

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “Buttah Skin makes the best vitamin C serum! It’s so light yet intense and makes my face feel hydrated and vibrant!”

Glowscreen SPF 40 PA+++

You might think you hate wearing sunscreen, but that’s just because you haven’t tried this one yet. It’s mostly invisible except for a fine glow that makes you look like you just got a facial.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I enjoyed this sunscreen on my face. It doesn’t feel like it’s heavy and it doesn’t leave a white cast. It protected me from getting burnt which is number one on importance but it also left a very nice light glow and didn’t get greasy looking throughout the day.”

Spritz Mist and Glow Facial Spray Collection Trio

You say that you’re just going to keep one and give the other two to your friends, but we both know that’s a lie. Hoard them all and occasionally mist yourself like you’re a cold soda in an advertisement.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “One of the most gentle and refreshing facial sprays! Great as a primer for setting face makeup or when you need an energizing boost throughout the day.”

Hydrocolloid Acne Pimple Patch

Not only does this suck all the gunk out of a whitehead like it’s the IRS and sebum is your money, but it also stops you from picking at your skin. Two birds, one patch.

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “These discrete hydrocolloid acne stickers have truly proven to be the invisible heroes in my skincare routine. They work like magic, providing effective and efficient blemish treatment while remaining virtually undetectable.”

Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence

I love scrubbing the absolute hell out of my skin, but for some reason my skin doesn’t always appreciate it. This essence repairs the skin barrier so well you can almost forget the key ingredient is made from snails.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I recently discovered the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, and it has completely transformed my skincare routine. This essence is a true game-changer when it comes to combating dullness and repairing damaged skin. With its exceptional formulation and impressive results, it has become an indispensable step in my Korean skincare regimen.”

Lait-Crème Concentré

Makeup artists swear by using this moisturizer as a primer. It’s incredibly hydrating, but doesn't clog pores or leave the skin feeling sticky. Instead, it gives complexions a smooth, hydrated finish.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This product is perfect to use as a moisturizer or a makeup primer! It works really well on top of my skin prep serums and lotions and works well under my makeup! It also smells good and is very hydrating!”

Healing Ointment

If you’re on the slugging train, almost everyone agrees that this is the best product to use in your routine. If you aren't a frequent slugger, this all-purpose ointment can be used on everything from cracked cuticles to dry patches on the skin.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I had some pre-cancer treatment on my face and as a result my skin was a mess. This ointment helped my face feel so much better.”

Eye Defense Eye Cream

It’s not fair that my under-eyes expose the fact that I spend the whole night drinking red wine and reading restaurant reviews to my cats. With hyaluronic acid and caffeine, this eye cream can be your secret weapon when dealing with puffy eyes and dark circles, so your boss stops calling you out for sleeping in the office.

Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I really like this product. It’s a great value and does do what it’s supposed to. I would recommend it.”

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This moisturizing cream has been a game-changer for my skin’s hydration needs. It provides a much-needed boost of moisture, leaving my skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated. The cream’s formulation effectively locks in hydration, providing long-lasting moisturization throughout the day.”

Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel

In just four minutes, you can remove about a week’s worth of dirt and grime that's built up on your face from pollution, makeup, and anything else you forgot to wash off. Your face will go from dull to glowy so quickly.

Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I really like these exfoliating towelettes. They are very gentle yet very effective on the skin. I will continue to buy as they work very well on sensitive skin.”

Don’t let a pimple ruin your day. Plop on a drop of this treatment gel to soak up any gross stuff, unclog those acne-causing pores, and look better overnight.

Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “Finally found a salicylic acid topical that works for me. I have adult acne. I had bad acne as a teen. I gave up on SA years ago but acne on my chin from face masks made me try it one more time and it is great!”

Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Give your brain’s pleasure center a nice little reward when you take these off and see how many gross little guys have been forcefully pulled from your face. It’s almost as satisfying as deleting dating apps from your phone.

Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I recently tried out these amazing pore strips, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in every way! These pore strips are an absolute game-changer when it comes to tackling pesky blackheads and unclogging pores.”

Trick your boss into thinking you slept a full eight hours instead of procrastinating on that super important presentation. Dark circles? None here!

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I alway have had problem with my oily skin and this produce has done the trick. My skin is much cleared and less oily!”

Sébium Pore Refiner Cream

So what if self love doesn’t include your pores? This cream lessens their unsightly appearance and also acts as a great makeup primer, too.

Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I have larger pores on my nose. I have been using tretinoin for blackheads, but the appearance of the dark spots and the sebum that filled the pores every day didn’t change. I use this stuff now every time I shower and I have actually seen a noticeable difference.”

Indian Healing Clay

An oldie but a goodie, this deep cleaning mask pulls out gunk and grime from your pores like a vacuum minus the chore aspect. Add this clay powder to water or apple cider vinegar for a deeper clean and watch your skin transform.

Regenerating Cleanser

Even for someone as wary of physical exfoliators as I am, I have to admit this product is stellar. It’s a little gritty without being aggressive, and makes my skin feel oh so soft.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This the best exfoliating face wash I have ever found!! The exfoliating bits are very fine. Cleaning your pores better and more gently then other products that uses large plastic bits that poison your body and skin!! The cost is totally worth it and I noticed a difference in all Tata Harper products in the first week! It also comes in a glass bottle! So you can use it for something else after!! Don’t question yourself just buy it!”

Skincare Oil

Beloved by anyone battling scars of stretch marks, I have found that this oil is not lauded enough for its effect on dry skin. Not only does this nip dry patches in the bud, but it also evens out my complexion without breaking me out.

Brightening Face Mask

Remember when “face mask” was a skincare thing, not a global pandemic thing? Pour a glass of white wine, hop in the bath, and soak in these skin-brightening ingredients for a fresher complexion.

Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer say: “This mask is absolutely amazing. Honestly, I’ve never used a mask in all my 32 years that leaves my skin as bright, moisturized, clear, or as healthy looking as this mask does.”

Hydrating Facial Cleanser

Who else hates that super tight, face-cracking feeling after using a cleanser that's way too strong? This lightweight and hydrating version from CeraVe leaves you so hydrated that you could probably go a few hours before noticing you forgot to apply moisturizer.

Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I absolutely love this product! I find foam cleansers dry my skin so I tried this and I'm so happy I did. It thoroughly cleans my skin and leaves it moisturized and bright. It's a little pricey but well worth it a little goes a long way.”
