No disappointment here — just shockingly good results. 👏

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 cleanser, and you're golden. 😍

Promising review: "This stuff is the holy grail of pore unclogging products!!!! I have never in my life seen my skin look this clean and clear. I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my skin congestion, and this stuff is like a power washer for your face! I remove my makeup with a makeup balm, rinse, dry my face, rub the oil all over my face for about two minutes, use a warm wash cloth to remove the oil, and follow with my regular face wash. Boom. Glowing, gorgeous skin with itty bitty clean pores. I’ll buy this stuff forever!!!" —Susan Clark

Promising reviews: "This is the best skin tightening gel ever, I had to buy it again. I will forever use this, it really diminished my cellulite." —Friendlykaren

"I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Promising review: "I saw this product mentioned in so many articles about cheap products that are great. I don't know why it 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. I also straighten it twice a week, so there is added heat damage... then add in the sun, etc.... My hair always feels like straw. I've only used this product twice now, and let me tell you... my hair looks and feels INCREDIBLE!!! It is so soft, and I am absolutely in love! I've only left it on for about five minutes at a time, too! I can only imagine how much better it would be if I left it on longer! This will forever be used by me from now on!" —Krystle Lee

Promising reviews: "I can’t explain how clear and beautiful my skin is now. I love this soap so much, and I will be a customer forever! I love that it also doesn’t irritate your eyes when washing your face." —jessica calhoun

"10-star soap. Love, love, love this soap. I have KP, which is a skin condition that makes the back of your arms look rash-y and red. I've tried everything. Glycolic, salicylic, retinol, and more. Nothing has ever worked until this. It leaves your skin feeling so soft and has taken away a lot of the discoloration. So happy I found this." —Sanctuarytampa

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

Promising reviews: "I love Love LOVE this foundation! I’m throwing out every other foundation I own! I have pink undertones from redness, and I’ve always struggled to find a foundation that matched me well that didn’t leave a yellow-looking finish. This was it!!!! I was really skeptical at first, but figured, hey, why not try it! It gives such a natural look. It’s not cakey and doesn’t separate on my skin like other foundations I’ve used. I tried it with and without primer, and it looked awesome either way! I used it with their setting spray and color me impressed! This is now my forever foundation!" —Sharon

"Flight attendant here. Travel-friendly. I'm a fair neutral skin tone, and it's not too pink, not too warm. It's the perfect neutral color. Looks like skin! I just ordered the pink version that's supposed to be more matte just to try a different consistency because this does so well on my skin. If you are using a drugstore foundation, trash it and order this. Those warm tones after time that happen with affordable foundations DOES NOT HAPPEN with this formula. Will continue to order forever. Goes on in a thin layer. 10/10!" —Sav

Promising reviews: "I have seen a fast difference in my nails using this product. I have used some products in the past that worked, but none as quickly as this one!! Will forever purchase and recommend this one to others." —Alain Gutierrez

"I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot 

Promising reviews: "Wish I started using this sooner! It’s reallly doing wonders for my acne prone skin due to infertility hormones from my IVF journey. I’ll keep this in my skin care collection forever!! I also will be trying the red one that is meant for acne prone skin." —Jessica Hang

"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it’s been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee El

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about 'expensive' beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick."

Promising review: "Lifelong color for me!!!! When people look at it they have no idea what the color really is. It's a transparent soft color, and I've influenced many ladies to purchase over the years. And I've been told, "Now THAT'S your color!" Black Honey Clinique forever. 💋💋" —Like they say, don't mess with Texas

Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart.

Promising review: "Holy moly — BABY SOFT FEET. I wish I had taken before and after pics! I followed the instructions and everything worked better than I expected. I sat on the side of the tub and soaked my feet (while reading and sipping wine). I used a pumice stone on my feet while they were soft, then I put on a pair of gloves and generously applied the gel, timed it for three minutes, then used the pumice stone after I rinsed and washed. I had baby soft heels — better than getting a pedi. I will forever use this product. My only regret is not having found it sooner. Btw, I’m a 65 y/o granny, and it was super easy." —Caribare 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "This mask works like magic. I started to get dry, hard callus feet. I read the reviews online and decided to give it a try. About five days later, I used the foot mask, and my feet started peeling for about two days. After two days, my feet were as soft as a newborn baby's feet. I no longer had any calluses. It is so worth it. I’m a forever customer." —robyn hudson

Get two pairs from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents). 

Having written about *so* much K-beauty, I feel like I've written about every Korean product under the sun. 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: "The scent is nice. I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've been using salon products for over a decade, and this is way better. And cheaper. I've even gotten compliments on how silky smooth my hair looks. I put it on while my hair is wet, then again when I style, if my hair gets frizzy from my flat-iron, and to tame flyaways. It's my favorite hair product I own." —Amy Wilt

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

Promising review: "So let me say this...I'm not sure why this was my first time purchasing from this company and trying their products, but it's definitely not going to be my last. This combo right here is heaven in a bottle. I'm from the Caribbean, and trust me when I say these products do well with our climate here. The glycolic acid is invigorating, especially since our days are always hot. The lotion is lightweight, but you still feel its effectiveness because your skin is so smooth and soft afterwards. Not to mention adding a few pumps of the booster to it — it went to another level of moisture on my skin. I'll be a customer forever! Try these products y'all...they're magnificent. 👌🏾😌" —Alicia

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and eight styles).

It's fragrance-free, and you can apply it morning and night!

Promising review: "This will forever be a repeat buy for me! I'm so excited about the results I'm seeing! I'm not only using this on my neck and chest, but also on my face, and the lines around my chin are not as noticeable as before I started using this product. I keep it bedside and even after my nightly skincare routine. I apply right before bed, and I'm not kidding, by morning my skin is looking great!! I highly recommend. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to place another order for this — I'm almost out lol! Definitely give it a try. 😊" —Elizabeth Barbarick

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

Promising reviews: "This is the BEST eye/whole face everything I’ve ever tried!!! It may take a day or two to see results, but when you do it is so worth it!! I started with my eyes.. ZERO irritation, morning and night. Then I thought well.. how about here.. my cheeks, jawline, everywhere on my face. It shows me that it wasn’t just my under-eye puffiness, dark circles... it was my whole face!! This is the best I have ever tried! For me, this is a staple FOREVER!!! No regrets.. easy on the wallet and you'll be so happy with how good ya look!" —Stacey W.

To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.

Promising review: "Would give you 20 stars if I could. I am a 56-year-old and I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup. I ordered this and use it under my eyes and just a dab on my eyelids, followed by nothing else but mascara and a little pink blush. I look blushing and vibrant and not overdone, and you can’t even tell that you’re wearing it, it’s so lightweight. I am a forever customer. Thank you for helping me to feel good about myself." —Debbie

SeoulCeuticals is a small skincare business that was founded in 2017 by a husband and wife team.

Promising reviews: "I seriously am a believer in this whole line! I have turned family members, coworkers, and friends into using this product!!! I would always get cystic acne on my face. Since using the serum and essence, I hardly have breakouts, I have clearer skin, and less scarring! I LOVE this stuff and will buy this forever. :) Oh, and the smell is amazing!!!" —Tiffany

"I was actually hesitant to buy this product because I figured it could just be hyped-up fancy water. It is NOT. For me, at least, it is a miracle in a bottle! For the past few years, I’ve suffered from dry, flaky, rough skin. I had found some products that would help to some degree, but none that would eliminate the problem. Well, when I tried another product in this line (the snail repair cream), I noticed a BIG difference. HOWEVER, when I added this product to my regimen? Holy guacamole, Batman! My skin is SO soft, hydrated, and SMOOTH! My foundation (well, CC cream) goes on like a dream! The two products together worked wonders, BUT even when I use this product alone with absolutely nothing else (out of sheer laziness, mind you), my skin still looks dewy, smooth, hydrated, and glowing! I’m sold! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. It even helps keep my normally dry, chapped, peeling lips baby smooth! Life changing, I tell ya." —M. Joiner

Seriously, people are *obsessed* with how this stuff smells. Its warm, gourmand fragrance has notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla — yum!

Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that’s something you’re looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising reviews: "Hands down the best lotion I've ever used. It perked my skin up a bit (especially on the sides of my butt) and it also leaves a beautiful sheen on your skin. The smell is a bonus. I will forever continue to use this!" —Lex

"Love the texture it moisturizes your skin the scent is amazing. My family loves it and they're always asking what I’m wearing. Husband can’t keep his hands off me. I am a forever customer, I love love this product. I also have brought the spray version and it did not disappoint." —Niecy

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher says about it: "Naturium is a staple in my body care regimen, so when I found out about this version, I knew I needed it immediately. I live in Georgia, and ever since I started using this body wash, I've noticed a significant reduction in body odor throughout the day, whether I'm outdoors gardening or doing my daily Hot Girl Walk. The scent is so light and fresh, and the cooling sensation is especially appreciated."

Promising reviews: "I knew I had keratin pilaris on my upper arms, but didn't realize it was the source of my ever-embarassing "butt-ne" til I tried this. In just a week, my skin calmed down and I'm no longer bashful about my body around partners. So happy to gain some confidence now that bumps and redness have started to vanish! So grateful this product is so effective. Will keep in my arsenal forever." —Lauren K

"When I say this works for BO, it’s magic. For someone living in a hot state, work in a hot job, always working out and sweating, this product keeps you in check ALL DAY! No skin irritants, no dryness, and I feel clean. The mint isn’t strong so you can feel the tingle, but not for long. I let it sit on my skin for at least three minutes before rinsing off. Best soap ever! I will continue to use this. Forget Dove antibacterial, forget Dial, BUY THIS!" —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in nine styles).

Promising review: "Okay, this is an honest review. I was SUPER skeptical because I've always been a spray dry shampoo girly, and I thought I was going to die on that hill. We've all been there... in a pinch and out of our dry shampoo and resorted to random powders and suffered the consequences and had to end up washing out hair while already running late. I have super fine hair, and it gets oily in the blink of an eye — even six hours post-shower. I tried this product skeptically, but I am impressed! Literally three dabs and my hair is happy, shiny, and volumized as if I just used a blow dryer! No drowning myself in a Batiste cloud! I'm adding this to my routine forever." —Chloe Plummer

Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in six shades). 

Promising review: "I will forever buy this primer as long as it's available! I've used many primers from low-end drugstore to high-end. And this is AMAZING! I have very large pores, and this has an instant blurring effect! You may need to play around with how you apply your foundation with this. Figure out if you should use a makeup brush or a sponge, and if that sponge needs to be damp or dry. Whatever works best with your face and this primer. Excellent price. Highly recommend!!" —Cassandra Drake

Elizabeth Mott is owned by Korean American Alice Kim and partners with top Korean manufacturers to bring affordable yet effective K-beauty products to the U.S.

Promising reviews: "I have very oily skin and extremely oily eyelids. I never gave it much thought, just assumed it was something I had to live with. I'm not a big makeup person (oily skin, yo), but I picked up some pretty Urban Decay palettes and wanted to give them a fighting chance. I came across this product and, with all the positive reviews, decided to give it a try. Where has this been all my life? It's lightweight, evens out the skintone on my lids, and keeps my eye makeup looking great all day. Now I even wear the primer by itself with no makeup because of the oil control. I'll be buying this stuff forever." —amarch99

BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.

Promising review: "This product is amazing! I originally bought this spray for my daughter's ear piercings. After reading the reviews, I tried it on my face. I have persistent adult acne, and this spray significantly reduced the amount of acne on my skin in less than 24 hours! I sprayed my face and problem areas a few times throughout the day, and this product worked wonders! I cannot wait to see what it does over long-term usage. I have since applied it to dry cracked skin on my feet, mosquito bites, and Poison Ivy rash — it treats everything. I would like to buy a bathtub of this product. It is amazing, and I will forever be a repeat customer! This is the first product that has EVER worked for my acne issues.Thank you, Briotech!!! I have since bought the disinfectant cleaner, and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail! I am beyond satisfied!!" —Koren

It looks great under makeup and adds a little bit of coverage on days I wear no makeup! It evens out my skin tone and makes my skin look healthy! I am obsessed!!! I also own the CT Flawless Filter and tons of other high-end products like this one, but this one beats them all. This is my go-to and I will forever wear it!" —Caitlin Milne

Promising review: "This is the absolutely best lip stain color I have ever used. It goes on amazingly and it does not leak out of the lines. It's absolutely beautiful. I have ordered three of them and am getting ready to order two more. This is my new go-to lip color forever. It's worth every penny. The two colors I received today are beautiful and darling. I'm still waiting on the other one I ordered — you really can't go wrong. I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with this stuff, it's pretty cool." —Lilly Layne

Promising review: "I LOVED my Revlon brush until one day it fell while I was blow drying and broke. I went a few weeks without one and came across an Amika brush from the eyebrow salon I go to. It’s been about a year, and it seems like every time I blow dry, it’s harder and harder to style; my hair isn’t doing what it’s supposed to. It didn’t feel shiny or soft, and I had to go over parts OVER AND OVER again, and in the end it would still look dirty, and the style would not stay. I finally had enough and said I will buy my Revlon again. Within MINUTES, my jaw dropped. No joke. My hair was shiny and SO SOFT! I did not have to go over the pieces multiple times; it took me maybe seven minutes to blow dry my entire head of hair vs 20 with the other brush. I am so, so, so happy I bought this again. I will be a forever customer. Thank you!" —Amanda Hana

RobeCurls is a woman-founded small business that specializes in heatless hair curling tools. This rod is designed to work with all hair types, with tutorials included on their site! 

Promising review: "To preface, I have very thick, mid-back length hair. This thing works like a freaking charm. I suck at doing my own hair and can't even put my own hair into a tight braid, but I can do this. I followed the video that is linked when you buy the product, and it was actually quite easy. I love that you can adjust your curls by the tightness or looseness of your wrapping, putting larger sections of hair in to create bigger beachwaves, etc. I also sleep in this and have never woken up with a headache or with the band having fallen out or anything. And even with my thick, heavy hair, the curls stay in all day. It's awesome. I will have one of these forever." —Jessie Pilk

Promising review: "BEST!! WE LOVE IT! I'll never use anything else — FOREVER CUSTOMER! Best and easiest one-coat needed nail polish ever, looks so classy and stays for so long. Mine lasted for two weeks, it was amazing! It looks fantastic and lasts for weeks as opposed to a couple of days! Easy to use, literally cannot mess it up, always looks good, and dries quickly. My nails have grown longer in the couple of months of regular use and are super hard now, and they were so flimsy before. I’m so grateful for this nail polish, I LOVE IT — I’m going to buy every color! I’d pay $50 if I had to. My nails have never been nice — I finally feel put together! ♥️💕♥️♥️♥️" —V C True
