No longer shall your face be as cracked and dry as the Sahara Desert.

I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life.

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I tried this product, and after the first use, I wasn't blown away, but as I continued to use this, I fell in love with this product. So much so that I quite literally chased down the gift set in 2021, and I am so glad I did. At home, I think I have at least five different flavors of these, and I use them EVERY SINGLE DAY. I never thought a lip mask would actually change my life, but this one did and I cannot live without it.

Promising review: "Wow! This sleeping mask is amazing. It hydrated my bottom chapped lip within 24 hours. This is the only product that I’ve found thus far that is so quick-acting. I prefer nonscented lip balms, but this one smells delish. I enjoy it. I’m very happy with this product and would highly recommend it. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try it." —E. Jackson

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in nine flavors and sets).

I recently tried this product for the first time and since I picked it up, I've never put it down. I love how to makes my lips feel. Like it actually feels hydrating and moisturizing. 10/10 would recommend. 

Natalie Brown, a Senior Editor on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, is a big fan of the product and has been using it since 2020. You can read Natalie's in-depth Lanolips review here. 

Promising review: "I don’t know what happened to my lips but they were severely chapped for two months straight. I bought a bunch of chap sticks and the aquaphor stuff but even that didn’t help. I was getting really annoyed. So I was researching and heard lanolin was the best to hydrate lips. So I bought this stuff and my lips are hydrated again less than a week later!" —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $13.50 (available in nine scents). 

Promising review: "FAVORITE!! I am actually obsessed with this mist. I use it daily. IT keeps my skin feeling hydrated, refreshed and feeling clean leaving a subtle but gorgeous glow! I have purchased this item several times and will continue to :)!" —Nurbie

Promising review: "I can't recommend these drops enough. I've been using them for about three months and I've never received so many compliments on my skin. Admittedly, while I have sensitive skin, it isn't usually very problematic (no chronic acne, discoloration, et.). With that said, my skin is on the drier side and a blemish will pop up from time to time, and this has been a total game changer. It really does help smooth out any texture and it's so hydrating. The drops also smell amazing. Honestly, buy these and thank me later!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes and sets). 

Promising review: "This has really been great for reapplying hydration through out the day! Spray bottle is really nice for taking on the go. No smell to it, skin feels tacky until completely dry, then very smooth. GLASS skin knows her. For constantly using it, 3–4 sprays per application 2–3 times per day the last month I still she three fourths of a bottle left!" —Shayna Killeen

Promising review: "Although this may seems a bit gimmicky, especially with the initial hype around the brand, I actually found a this to be enjoyable and added it to my routine. This can be used both as a hydrating/calming mask in the shower and a cleanser as well. The scent is very light, slightly fruity, and refreshing. As a cleaner, a little bit of product goes a long way. I find it helpful to foam it up in my hands first, as it has a rich texture. This leaves my skin clean, soft, and hydrated!" —MI91

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six scents). 

Promising review: "I am obsessed to this spray serum! Not your ordinary facial mist. It smells divine and deeply hydrates my skin. I literally spray it on after I shower, after I wash my face or anytime throughout the day. Fantastic for makeup prep too. I am on my fourth bottle!" —BethW

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "This moisturizer works really well for keeping my skin soft and hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy. It’s gentle, absorbs nicely, and doesn’t irritate sensitive skin. I like that I can use it on both my face and body, especially for dry areas. Simple, effective, and great for everyday use." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.79+ (available in three sizes and in multipacks). 

This is another product that I cannot live without. When it comes to body care, I try to stick to a whole routine, which includes this. It is a serum, so I use it like a serum in my skincare routine. This does a great job of making my skin feel hydrated, and I've noticed that it keeps my skin super soft. You can layer a lotion over this or leave it on its own; either way, it's a great product! 

Promising review: "I've been using it for several days after my shower, and it has officially become part of my routine. It’s super lightweight, absorbs in seconds, and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling. My skin feels softer, more hydrated, and smoother throughout the day. I really love that it’s fragrance-free, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin or for layering with other products. It’s not like a heavy body cream — it feels more like a serum that actually works. I would definitely buy it again without hesitation. I use it, I tested it, and I recommend it. 💯" —Any Any

This product is super lightweight in formula and always leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and bouncy. I love how it easily absorbs into my skin and also calms it down. Ya girl is a fan! I use this all the time! 

Promising review: "I love this gel moisturizer. I have sensitive skin that’s on the dryer side and this does the trick. It hydrates and plumps my skin. I saw reviews about the price for the size of the product and let me say, you don’t need much to get the job done. The price point is perfect for this product. So happy I found this just in time because I can no longer use what has worked for me for years. Also, there’s no noticeable scent.  As long as the formulas don’t change, they’ve got a customer for life." —Laniese Snowden

I really love this as well. I usually spray this on my skin as part of my morning skincare and prep routine. It makes my skin look refreshed. I love how this feels on my skin! 

Promising review: "I really love this facial mist from Anua!!! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, refreshed, and with a beautiful dewy glow. I love that it contains PDRN, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. The mist feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin, and it's perfect for refreshing my face throughout the day. I also love using it over makeup to give my skin a fresh, luminous finish. If you're looking for hydrated, glowing, and dewy-looking skin. I definitely recommend giving this a try!" —Emwid Escayda

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 

I've been using this product so much lately. I love the micro-mist because it's super lightweight and doesn't disturb my look, sometimes chunkier sprays can mess up my makeup. This does actually last all day long, and it keeps my face looking fresh all day long!

Promising reviews: "I’ve been using the Jung Saem Mool. Essential Mool Micro Fitting Face Mist every day, and it’s hands-down one of the best setting sprays I’ve tried. The ultra-fine mist feels weightless, hydrates instantly, and gives my makeup a natural dewy glow that lasts all day. I usually spritz it after my serums in the morning or on top of my makeup to lock everything in, and never sticky or heavy. Its hydrating ingredients make my skin feel soft and refreshed, like a mini spa moment anytime I need it. Honestly, all the Korean makeup artists use this, and now I totally get why; it’s become a must-have in my routine, and I always get compliments on how fresh my skin looks!" —Angie Yon

"This is an excellent product. Not only does it hydrate, but it also sets your makeup nicely. It's a very fine mist, allowing you to layer it many times throughout your makeup. I love the functionality of the spray. Will buy it again."—Heeyeon Kim 

Get it from Amazon for $21+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "This primer contains hyaluronic acid, which makes it very hydrating and comfortable on the skin. I have sensitive skin and have never experienced irritation or breakouts from this product. One thing worth noting is that the primer feels quite tacky when first applied. While this may not be everyone’s preference, I actually appreciate it because my foundation adheres extremely well and lasts longer throughout the day. Once powder is applied, the sticky feeling completely goes away, so it is not an ongoing issue. This primer is on the pricier side, but for me it is worth it since it consistently performs well and works with my sensitive skin. A small amount goes a long way, which helps justify the cost.Overall, this is a dependable, hydrating primer that delivers excellent makeup grip, and I will continue to repurchase it." —Momo

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes).  

Promising review: "This is THE BEST primer I’ve ever tried! It’s so hydrating and sticky and makes my makeup last all day long without even having to touch up. I will be repurchasing forever." —Emily McArthur

Promising review: "This primer smells fresh, feels refreshing on my skin and does not dry my skin out. Of my skin is a little on the dry side, this primer is my go to. It helps me hydrate my skin and keeo my makeup in place. This is a water based primer and feels like a very light cream. Highly recommended." —ShortStack

Promising review: "​I honestly love everything Neutrogena puts out—they seriously have the best products that don’t break the bank. I’ve been using this Hydro Boost setting spray lately and it’s a total win. ​It actually does its job and keeps my makeup in place all day, but the best part is that it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or dry like some other sprays do. It leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and refreshed. Definitely a staple for my makeup bag now!" —Yaima Blanco

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 +(also available in a multipack). 

Promising review: "I have combination skin and this mask works beautifully for me. I especially love using it after being in the sun, during long flights, or anytime my skin feels tired and needs extra hydration. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and deeply moisturized without being sticky. The texture and scent are very pleasant too. I’ve tried many masks, but this one really stands out — it gives that “spa at home” feeling. Highly recommend if you want a reliable hydration boost!"—Dany Filippini 

Get it from Amazon for $33+ (also available in a multipack). 

Promising reviews: "This serum has become one of my favorite skincare products. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling deeply hydrated without any sticky residue. After using it consistently, my skin looks smoother, plumper, and has a beautiful healthy glow. It layers well with the rest of my skincare and hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for extra hydration and radiant skin!" —Kassis

Get it from Amazon for $18.90+ (available in two sizes, multipacks, and three other styles). 

Promising review: "I’ve been really liking this serum. My skin was feeling very dry, and this has helped a lot with hydration. It feels lightweight on my skin and doesn’t leave it feeling sticky. My face feels softer and more hydrated after using it. So far, I’m really happy with." —Mafer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "I don’t typically write skincare reviews because we are all so different, but I just can’t help doing this one. I am in my forties with fine lines and sun damage, yet I break out whenever I use moisturizers of any kind. Worse, I’m in a beach climate, so I really need something hydrating. It’s made using anti-aging products frustrating and a waste of money. I was thrilled to find this one. I wake up with noticeably hydrated skin, and my wrinkles are smoother. Best of all, it doesn’t feel heavy. I know it’s tough trying new products, but this one is special. (And basically unscented, if that stuff bothers you)." —Erin R

Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I wouldn't go a day without this. I have naturally dry skin, and this toner hydrates and refreshes. Moisturizer goes on better, and I actually use less moisturizer because of this product. Dermalogica is the best. Worth the price." —DP

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (also available in a larger size). 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this hyaluronic acid serum for a few months, and I’m genuinely impressed. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump all day. I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin’s smoothness and glow. It layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup without any stickiness. Definitely one of the best hyaluronic acid serums I’ve tried — a must-have in any skincare routine!" —Claudia Gutierrez

Get it from Amazon for $23.90+ (available in two sizes). 

This has become one of my go-to moisturizers over the past year or so. It's extremely hydrating and I always use it when my face needs a little extra TLC. I love how there is a pump, so you don't have to stick your hands into the jar! 10/10 would recommend. 

Promising review: "Absolutely love anything Round Lab. It is extremely gentle and moisturizing for my very sensitive skin. I have tried tons of moisturizers and most irritate my skin, but not this one. It is lightweight with zero fragrance, which is great for people with sensitive skin. Will be repurchasing!" —Kirsten Montgomery

Promising reviews: "I have used this product for over 10 years, and it is worth the price. It is so rich and moisturizing. It definitely keeps my face hydrated. I just started using the version with SPF 30, thank you for that addition! I keep the standard version as well for use at night. Very mild scent and makes my skin so gentle and soft. People always ask me what products I use on my face!" —T.M.H.

"This face cream absorbs into my skin and doesn’t feel greasy. I love how hydrated my face looks and how soft my skin feels. The hydration last all day long. Would highly recommend." —Mary 

Get it from Amazon for $55+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "This La Roche-Posay Hydrating Cleanser is a game-changer for my sensitive skin! It’s super gentle and hydrating, leaving my skin feeling clean but not dry or tight. The niacinamide and ceramides work wonders, and I love that it’s fragrance free. Perfect for my daily routine, especially when my skin needs a little extra TLC. Highly recommend for anyone with dry or sensitive skin!" —ManelaJ

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Hauschka Daytime Rose Cream for years. I Love this product. Once the word got out, the Rose cream was flying off the shelf. I had to start ordering two at a time from Amazon so I wouldn't run out. This smooth dense creaminess is so hydrating for my face and neck. My skin looks so soft and dewey that I'm actually asked if I've just come from my Facialist." —MariaD
