Promising reviews: “This was a splurge for me but worth it. Love the way this feels on my skin. Smooth application.” —Caj9410

“I absolutely love this sunscreen. I’m always wary of “for everyone” tinted products because they aren’t usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. For reference, I have combination, thirtysomething-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation.” —Lovely91

2. Or a SPF 46 EltaMD face sunscreen reviewers with sensitive and acne-prone skin types have been using as a soothing spell to help reduce redness and to restore that coveted suppleness to their skin. And the best part? It leaves no white streaks or greasy feeling. Just smooth, protected skin that feels like it’s been kissed by a skincare fairy.Promising review: “My beauty splurge — WORTH IT. My derm recommended this for me since I’ve got super sensitive skin from using retinol for acne and anti-aging. I’ve TRIED to find a cheaper face sunscreen that is this calming, effective, non-pore-clogging and goes on smoothly under makeup — I just haven’t. This one is the best. I can’t live without it and I’ll just have to cheap out on other products because I’ve decided, ultimately, that this one is just worth its weight in gold. If you struggle with sensitive skin, you know what a nightmare it is when your skin is red, irritated, and flaky. Since I started using this daily, my skin stays calm and moisturized, and that is a HUGE relief.” —Shelby McCarthy

3. An adorable hydrating eye stick, aka the perfect remedy for dehydrated skin. This treatment is made with Icelandic glacier water, giving your delicate under-eye skin the fresh hydration boost it needs on days when you’ve hit the snooze button one too many times. 

It also helps tighten eye wrinkles if you’d prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here’s a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.

Promising review: “This stuff is magic! I purchased this product on a recommendation from a BuzzFeed list and was not disappointed! I have not been sleeping well due to stress, and the first day I used it, my coworkers commented how well-rested I looked! I told them about it, and all of them ordered one for themselves. Very impressed!” —Saminyah Marcelin

4. Antimicrobial facial spray with power that sweeps away all the nastiness without turning your face into the Sahara Desert. This little potion targets acne-causing bacteria, unclogs pores, and some reviewers even use it post-workout when their skin feels like it’s been through a battlefield of sweat and dirt.

Promising review: “The product is a great alternative to Tower 28, any HCl spray will have a bleach-like smell, but it fades right away. I spray it right after washing my face in preparation for my nighttime routine and after workouts. Just be careful when using it with skin and makeup products as if it’s not completely dry it will deactivate their properties. I use a fan to dry it out and it doesn’t take long. Also, the atomizer mists more than it spritzes so you get nice even coverage. I usually use 3–5 sprays to cover my face. Haven’t had any new breakouts since using it!” —Sophie
