Promising review: “I was kind of hesitant at first because the texture is like lotion, but don’t let it fool you! It’s such a great face wash!

Revlon’s Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller works just like your go-to oil-blotting sheets but it doesn’t create any extra waste! Just roll the mattifying stick all over your T-zone (or anywhere else that gets greasy) and soak up excess oil.


Amazon, amazon.com

In case you’re wondering — no, the volcanic roller doesn’t mess up your makeup. And once you’ve given your face a quick touch-up, just twist off the top of the roller to release the stone and give it a wash before your next use.

Promising review: “This rolling device is like pure magic. You simply roll it around your oily areas and BOOM the oil magically vanishes into the ball never to be seen again! This is an item that #tiktokmademebuy for sure! I saw a video on TikTok and immediately went on the hunt only to be disappointed that this item was sold out everywhere! I eventually got added to a waiting list her on Amazon and once they had it in stock again, they charged my card and sent it my way! If you have the chance to purchase this and you have oily skin, get yourself on the waiting list if you need to and just kick it until it shows up. You will be pleased. Thank me later. ;)” —Veronica Cooper

Promising review: “I’m in my thirties, and I still have tricky skin — if I use anything too harsh, I dry out; anything too creamy, I break out. I feel like I’m in a constant back and forth between the two, to basically un-do what the last cleanser did. I saw this product listed in a BuzzFeed article, and gave it a shot. It’s amazing. It doesn’t dry out my skin like Cetaphil, and doesn’t make me break-out like some anti-aging cleaners do. I had never even heard of this brand before, but now I’m a fan.” —Julia R.

Vanicream Gentle Cleanser removes, dirt, oil, and makeup without any added fragrances, preservatives, or harsh chemicals. This makes the gentle, moisturizing formula suitable for those with unrelenting eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and/or acne.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I swear, I have the most sensitive skin on the planet. I’ve had combination skin my whole life, am acne-prone due to my sensitivities, and easily dry out with most cleansers or when the weather is harsh. I also have dealt with bouts of perioral dermatitis. This is the ONLY cleanser that has worked for me to combat everything I have just mentioned. I initially tried this cleanser thinking it might work to remove the residual redness and dryness around my mouth leftover from the bout with the perioral dermatitis. I literally washed my face with this one evening, and the NEXT DAY my skin had quieted down. So I kept at it, and now I have the clearest, smoothest, softest skin I have EVER had. And I’ve struggled with my skin for ages. No more constant breakouts. I’m just amazed by this stuff and I hope it’s never discontinued. I HIGHLY recommend it!” —KPMT

Ulta Beauty

Promising review: “Need this in my life! I have very oily and congested skin constantly. Ever since I introduced this into my routine, it gives me a fresh start by helping to clear out all of the gunk that my skin loves to hold on to. Helps remove the build up on my nose and around the more oily areas of my face and helps all of my other products penetrate my skin better. This is not a gentle peel for sensitive skin. You will feel a burn and tingle but it your skin needs it, it provides the deep exfoliation that you will need.” —zplnd

e.l.f. Happy Hydration Cream is a deceivingly indulgent option that goes for just — are you ready for this? — $4. Four. freaking. dollars. The formula hydrates skin and locks in moisture with a few key ingredients: hemp seed oil, vitamin B5, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.

And no, the hemp seed oil won’t get you anywhere near high. Instead, the amino-rich ingredient works to nourish and hydrate skin.

Promising review: “This moisturizer is AMAZING. I have combination skin, where my T-zone is oily, and everywhere else is dry. I don’t recommend using it on oily skin, because this will definitely make you even more oily, but I use it just on the dry areas on my face and it works absolutely amazing. I bought the smaller version to try it out and see if I liked it, so I’m definitely buying the larger one. It has a thick, creamy consistency, but it doesn’t feel heavy on your skin at all. Overall an amazing product.” —Aerin

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Facial Cleansing Towelettes use an alcohol-free formula to cleanse your skin and wipe away everything from forehead grease to day-old waterproof mascara. Since they come individually wrapped, you don’t have to worry about them drying out, either.

A reviewer holding one of the individually wrapped, pre-moistened towelettes


amazon.com

Promising review: “Wow. Am I glad I tried these! I have tried many types of make-up removers — but it seems every one left something behind. Plus, you still need to rinse your face, and most leave my face feeling dry. Well, not this product! First, the convenience — each individual wipe is wrapped in its own little packet. So easy for travel — tiny! But they unfold into a nice size wipe. Plus, being individually wrapped, no opening a package and finding all the rest of your wipes dried out. Next — these wipes truly work! They remove ALL my makeup and with a simple wipe, not a scrub. In the past, everything else left makeup that I could see on my cotton round when I applied toner. Well, using these — NO leftover makeup. Wow! My face feels clean and refreshed, no dryness. So I can refresh/clean my face anywhere, even if I don’t have access to water. The price is also very reasonable! They are now on my auto ship list!” —Laura Gregory

Promising review: “This is is literally a holy grail, My lips have never been so chapped I tried over 10 lip balms and found this. It’s the only one that has worked. My lips were so soft and weren’t peeling off like a snake after I applied it twice. Even though I’m still taking the medication (Accutane) it works wonders.” —Erferenz

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water works as a cleanser and makeup remover. Use it in the a.m. and p.m. to hit refresh on your face before applying your regular moisturizer and serum.

A reviewer holding the bottle which says it's suitable for oil and sensitive skin


amazon.com

Promising review: “I know that most people who purchase this are women who are using it to remove makeup. From what I can see, the item gets high marks for that. But I, a man, have a different use: being given a naturally oily face, I can drip out a little bit of this cleansing water on a textured microfiber cloth, and gently rub my face with it. It is not only refreshing but takes away almost all the facial oils, leaving a good skin appearance. I had not heard about this use of this item until someone told me about it, and I was deeply skeptical, because I’ve tried all kinds of anti-oil cleaners over many years, and none really worked well. This one does. So, whether it’s for makeup removal or just keeping a man’s face fresh at the office all day, this item is a winner. Five Stars.” —Ray

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask deeply (and we mean *deeply*) penetrates your pores and vacuums out impurities so well that its racked up more than 20,000+ 5-star ratings.


amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “This is quite possibly the best skincare product I have ever used. I don’t say that lightly as I am a self-confessed beauty enthusiast and cystic acne sufferer. But wow, this mask literally changed my life in less than a week. I was pretty skeptical despite the other glowing reviews. I’ve tried Spironolactone, antibiotics, snail creams, vitamins, lasers, retinol, microdermabrasion, monthly facials, birth control pills, homeopathic herbs and remedies and NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING has cleared my angry, inflamed cystic acne quicker than this mask. Yes, it makes your face red, yes it removes acne scars and inflammation, yes it actually works. Within three days, my cysts dried up completely and flattened (which would’ve taken at least two weeks normally). No new pimples have emerged and my skin is younger looking, less spotty, and much softer. I even use this mask on my backne and my shoulders now look like they belong to Heidi Klum. I am beyond thrilled. Pro tip, though: Do not wash the mud down the drain. It will clog your pipes!” —loveorbit

Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in a 1- or 2-pound tub).

Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner purifies and refreshes skin without drying it out. If your face is sick of feeling like SpongeBob in that one (super uncomfy) ep where he refuses to ask Sandy for water, get this stuff ASAP.

A reviewer holding the 8.5-ounce bottle of toner


amazon.com

Promising review: “I bought this product the first time when I spotted the line ‘alcohol-free’ on the bottle while I was looking through the shelves of a myriad of different brands of toners in Target. It have become my favorite and now I only use this exact toner. Unlike other toners, this one doesn’t have an aggressive drying effect on my facial skin (which is super duper sensitive) but instead has a more gentle moisturizing effect and also a nice mild scent =) I’d highly recommend dripping about four to five drops of it onto a cotton pad and gently patting it onto your face after using your daily facial wash to re-moisturize your facial skin after washing and stripping the oil off of it. Skin will look cleaner, brighter and more hydrated after just a few minutes!”

Mario Badescu’s iconic Drying Lotion may come in a tiny bottle but don’t let that trick you. When applied with a Q-tip and left on overnight, the long-lasting, fast-acting formula zaps zits and draws all sorts of impurities.


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “Reviews for this product (and most other acne-related products) are all over the spectrum as really good or really bad. That’s normal, because products and specific ingredients work differently for everyone. Your skin texture, pores, natural pH, oil production, exfoliation, etc., etc., all impact how a product will work for YOU. I have had different variations of acne since I was about 12 years old. And that’s another point…your skin and all of those factors change throughout your life. Age, climate, the air quality and environment where you live also impact your skin. And what you eat and drink has a HUGE impact as well! With that said, I will get off my soap box and get to the point! This product has worked VERY well for me. I have tried a LOT of different products, both over the counter and prescription. When I feel a blemish coming on, I dab it with this bottle of magic and it dramatically reduces how long it lasts AND how bad/big it gets. This is the only product I have ever used with this effectiveness, and I love it!!! I go to bed with multiple pink dots on my face almost every night (much to the chagrin of my husband!), and frequently those spots are close to non-existent in the morning. (TIP: Do NOT shake the bottle…the clear liquid and pink sediment are meant to be separated — read the instructions!) Give it a try. I hope you love this as much as I do. If not, at least you tried, and hopefully you will find something that works for YOU.” —Kellibelli1126

Reusable bamboo makeup remover pads make for a happy planet, wallet, and face. No more buying cotton rounds in bulk and having them overflow your bedroom wastebasket. (Maybe that last part is just me?)

Promising review: “Where have these been all of my life?!? Not only are they good for the environment but they are amazingly soft. They are great to use around the eye area since the skin is so sensitive and these pads are softer than cotton balls! One side is a little softer than the other however both sides serve a purpose for me. The side with texture helps remove makeup while the softer side is great for a final face wipe-down. Also the mesh bag is so handy. I just throw it in the wash when it’s almost full.” —Mar T

Promising review: “I am obsessed. My skin feels clean and hydrated after and the texture makes every OCD part of me happy. The ‘chips’ are not sharp and not exfoliating. They melt into your skin. The mask has never left my skin feeling dried — even when I forget and leave it on for two hours! I’ve repurchased this three times now!” —Myyskii

Use it in the morning before applying makeup (it’ll calm puffy eyes and cheeks) or give your face a few massaging rolls when applying a mask. The roller head detaches from the handle so you can easily clean it and store it in your freezer between uses.

Promising review: “I was in a Zoom meeting last week and my team noticed a colleague using this on her face (we’re pretty close!). After a good razzing and a handful of questions, we had this link in the chat. I have NEVER been this satisfied with a purchase intended as a joke. Use it in the morning? Reborn. Feeling puffy? BAM, not anymore. It’s like a cold shower minus the feeling that you’re going to die. 10/10. Do it. Clean between uses.” —Jessica Hebert

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in nine colors).

And silicone applicators make it super simple to apply mud masks, serums, body butters, etc. without introducing any icky bacteria that could be on your fingers.

Promising review: “I LOVE these brushes! As someone that has used a variety of face masks, I always just used my fingers to apply. After reading about all the benefits of using silicone face mask brushes to apply masks opposed to your fingers (which carry bacteria), I had to try it. I LOVED the results! I can’t believe how long I’ve been missing out on using these brushes. The mask went on far more smooth and even. It helped save so much of my mask product and felt like the mask even worked better! Also, they are extremely easy to clean and re-use. Great price for a great product- and a great gift for someone that uses skin care products. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE!!” —Tess
