Promising review: "I was told this was a must-have for someone struggling with dry skin. My skin gets especially dry around my T-zone and nose, and when I tell you this product really helped with that! I instantly felt my skin become moisturized as soon as I applied it! It also left a glowy/dewy look that I love!" —nancy

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "If I could give it ten stars, I would! Excellent product across the board! The scent is sumptuous! It lasts a long time on your skin. You are moisturized beyond any product I've ever used. My skin looks less dry even after toweling off, and it's not greasy or slimy to the touch. It makes your skin glow!" —Alafia

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes, a refill bottle, and multi-packs).

Promising review: "This moisturizer is pure indulgence with purpose. Tatcha’s The Dewy Skin Cream melts into the skin, delivering lasting hydration and a luminous glow without heaviness. Rich yet refined, it leaves skin plump, smooth, and visibly nourished — the kind of finish that makes makeup optional. Perfect for dry or dehydrated skin, especially in cooler months. A little goes a long way, and the glow is unmistakable." —Allcanadian

Get it from Sephora for $25+ (available in three sizes and a refill pod).

Promising reviews: "I bought a small size to try, and I am obsessed! It's thick, smells great, and has a smooth texture that moisturizes and leaves your skin glowing! Try it!" —ME

"This cream is amazing! I have extremely dry skin. After a shower, I oil my whole body, but even that wasn’t enough, and yes, I drink plenty of water with sea salt. I added this cream after my oils, and omg, my skin is like a baby's. I was getting a weird texture on my neck like chicken skin, and now it’s gone because of this cream. I know, TMI. My skin all over is so, so soft, it’s like a miracle. I even started putting it on my face. It is pricey, but with these results, I’d get a part-time job if I had to. I’m good with fragrances, so that doesn’t bother me. I tried the Palmer equivalent, and although it’s good, it’s not as magical as this one. I’m now a forever customer." —Nina S

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes, refill pods, and two-packs).

Promising review: "I was dubious – snail what? – but now I'd never want to be without this. My skin loves it. I use it morning and night, after cleansing and before anything else to keep my dry skin supple and happy." —Phil Gillette

"Ladies… Please don’t sleep on this product. Get it, and you won’t regret it. I’m still on my first bottle, but babes, I kid you not, that this is all worth the hype! Very moisturizing, lightweight, makes your skin glow, gives hydration, and is effective. Period!" —Loretta O.

Get it from Amazon for $19.40 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "PLEASE NEVER GET RID OF THIS!! This is my favorite moisturizer I’ve ever had in my whole life. I’m going on three years of using this product. I work at a beauty store, and nothing beats this. It has my face hydrated and looking like glass every day. I have really dry skin, and this is the only product that works. It leaves my skin looking like glass, too!! I’m a makeup girly also, and this is very makeup-friendly!! If you’re thinking about getting it, GET IT!!" —Alo

"This has replaced all of my moisturizers. As a woman in perimenopause, my face was dry and lagging. I wear it alone without makeup, but you can put makeup over it as well. It brought back a glow and softness to my face. I use it twice a day, and I also put it on my lips, that always felt dry and chapped before I found this. It is thick, so you will want to pat it on your face, not rub." —brandy

Get it from Amazon for $15.83 (also available in packs of three or six).

Promising review: "Holy grail of hydrating/healing serums! I have used this for years. Sometimes I splurge on the larger bottle. But Pro-Heal is the apex of serums for me. If I had to ditch everything else in my skincare arsenal, this would be the one thing that I kept. It's one of those subtle things you don't notice at first, then you realize your skin is just better. And if you stop using it, then you really notice how well it works. This just provides something extraordinary for your skin. I have combination skin with hormonal acne and a spot of eczema on my upper lip. Pro-Heal provides the most amazing relief to both. You instantly feel it working on compromised spots, and it works wonders everywhere else. I would HIGHLY recommend." —Kelly

"It's great for sensitive skin! It's definitely helped with my rosacea-related redness and has given my face a more nourished glow overall. Works well with other products and does not irritate my skin. I have hypersensitive skin due to having rosacea, so a lot of products irritate it, but not this. Extra perk: it works really well on big bites!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $104+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Beautiful texture. Amazing to wear under makeup. I am very acne-prone, and after a week, I still haven’t had any signs that this will break me out. Takes care of all my dehydration and fine lines and leaves the most AMAZING glow." —mom3l

Get it from Sephora for $25+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I have combination skin that’s become drier due to hormonal changes.  I use this daily with the moisturizer and have loved the difference it's made in my skin. It’s glowy and hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy.  Recommend!" —HappySchnauzer

Get it from Sephora for $19+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love this spray! I have extra-dry skin and use this over my serums and moisturizers, then apply my mineral foundation powder, which can look dry sometimes, so I spritz on after! It's light, refreshing, and cooling, and has a natural fresh scent that I love. Not heavy or greasy. My skin has a dewy glow. You can reapply throughout the day if you choose!" —Jacqueline M.

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical about switching to a collagen moisturizer. Nonetheless, I’ve noticed that using it made my skin softer and better hydrated. During the winter, my skin didn’t dry out as easily as it did with my previous moisturizers. My skin is sensitive, and this product has been beneficial for it. On top of all that, I noticed that incorporating this product and retinol into my skincare routine has significantly decreased the appearance of fine lines on my forehead. I have just finished one of these and am currently using the same product again. 10/10 would recommend to others!" —Ghia

"I have been using this face moisturizer for a couple of years now, and the glow and skin softness it gives you is amazing. I’m in my 30s, so I need all the collagen I can get, and this really helps my skin feel silky smooth and not heavy or greasy. Super easy to apply. I do it after I wash my face. The quality of ingredients really shows. Highly recommend for good quality budget-friendly skincare." —Chuck MacDermott

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (clip the coupon to get the small size at this price; available in two sizes and two scents, including unscented).

Promising review:                        "I have thin skin under my eyes and red circles. Also getting dry patches in spots. Since using this product, the red circles have become less obvious, and my skin has become more supple and tightened. I was skeptical at first, but I've been using it now for over two weeks, and I swear my eyes look so much better, and foundation application is easier; it doesn't cake up in areas!" —Kelly

"I have been on the search for an eye mask that can diminish my puffy eyes and dark circles being that I have a hard time sleeping at night. Not only did these eye masks do just that, but they also gave me a nice glow and made me look well rested. I have been using them every night until I ran out. Looking forward to using more! Thank you, La Pure, for creating such an excellent product!!" —NE

Promising review: "I've been using this product for months, and it makes my dry skin feel softer and more hydrated. I had stretch marks on my chest and other parts of my body from weight gain and loss, and with this oil, they have faded. My dry skin feels great since I started using this product." —Wendy Gonzalez Laza

"I love this oil! It makes my skin look brighter, smoother, and gives me a beautiful natural glow. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moisturized without feeling greasy. Highly recommend for soft glowing skin!" —Vaniela Exantus

Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I had my eye on these for A WHILE. It seems like a possible alternative to the viral Hanacure masks. It’s a two-step wash-off mask. The smell was a bit reminiscent of household cleaner. Which I did not love. But it caused no skin irritation on my sensitive skin. As it dries, it shrinks a lot. But it was no more uncomfortable than a standard clay mask. It washed off easily with water. My skin had a lovely glow and brightness after. It did a great job of sort of reviving it. My skin was a bit red and blotchy from the tightness of the mask as it dried, but this cleared up completely within 10 minutes." —rookery

"I was absolutely amazed after using this mask! It made my skin so  soft! My pores looked like they were barely there; this mask tightened my skin and left  it baby-smooth! This was only after one use! My makeup went on  beautifully and lasted longer. After several uses, I can say the  tightening effect has really left my skin firmer. The mask made my skin  feel slightly itchy as it tightened. However, it did subside, and it  didn’t irritate my face. I am loving how soft my skin is. And yes, it is  still making my pores look nonexistent! Love it, would highly recommend. 💕💕" —Sarah

Promising review: "I've been waiting with bated breath for this product to launch. It arrived this morning after launching yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! There is nothing else like this on the market that I've tried before. It is absolutely beautiful on the skin and gives such a radiant glow. The only way I can describe this is that it's like red-carpet makeup. Just beautiful, glowy skin that looks REAL, it's not full of chunky glitter, and I'm already obsessed! I love the applicator, and it layers up really well, so if you love to glow, you NEED this!" —Marnik

Get it from Charlotte Tilbury for $50 (available in 12 shades).

Promising review: "I'm 22 and have been experiencing hormonal breakouts due to stopping birth control. Nothing has helped me except for this product. It has diminished my breakouts tremendously, and I can see my acne scars starting to fade, too! The smell isn't that bad. I feel like the negative reviews are a bit exaggerated. The serum leaves my skin so glowy and less red in the morning!" —e

Get it from Ulta for $55+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "My skin has literally transformed. I use it every morning after showering, before moisturizing. No icky, sticky feel, soaks in immediately. My skin has stopped breaking out, it's supple, smooth, and glows. I love it." —Christinuh

Promising review: "Working in front of a few monitors every week, my eyes feel dry and burnt by Friday. This is an excellent hydration cream for the area around the eye and doesn't crust up after a few hours like the less expensive alternatives. This is a good choice!" —Michael D Morley

"I definitely notice a difference when I wear this eye cream. My under eyes are glowing!" —Amie Burnell

Promising review: "This is the first sunscreen for my face that I actually look forward to wearing. My skin is very sensitive and dry. Other products I have tried make my face peel and flake while I am wearing the sunscreen!! Not this, very hydrating and comfortable. I am really enjoying the glow too! Makes me look bright without being glittery. I’m 61, so I don’t need to try to look like a 16-year-old. This is subtle." —ClarkCounty

Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two sizes and four shades).

Promising review: "Yes, it is a bit pricey, but this small, little jar adds such a pleasant experience in my skincare routine. I don't use it often. I reserve it for when I want to feel special and need a gentle exfoliation. Wonderful real rose fragrance. A little goes a long way." —Amazon Customer

"One of my favorite face masks I’ve ever tried. Tata’s line is awesome. I’ve tried so many skincare lines. My skin glows after using this mask!" —Melinda

Promising review: "This is unique for a few reasons: it is super moisturizing and not a bit greasy. It feels like a treat to put it on because it smells good, is a pretty color, and it applies like nothing I’ve ever used before. It feels like it is going on in almost a velvety way, and then poof: it’s absorbed without a trace other than hydrated looking skin." —Sara

"Wow. I love this overnight mask. It smells great, not overwhelming. Hydrates my skin and yes, I literally wake up with my skin glowing." —Agnieszka Bartoszak

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "I don't usually write reviews, but this product warrants one. When it comes to highlighters or glow lotions, I don't like a ton of shine that makes my face look like I've got high beams on. This 'glotion' provides the perfect balance of hydration and glow; it isn't drying whatsoever, and it lasts a while. For this price, don't think, just buy it and try it. You won't regret!" —City Boy

"I succumbed to viral TikTok videos for this and am glad I did. It’s great by itself or under foundation." —Shelley

Get it from Amazon for $8.39+ (available in five shades and multi-packs). 

Promising review: "I have normal to dry skin, and this moisturizer is my everyday go-to. It is very hydrating and has a glowy finish. It doesn’t leave a white cast, nor is it sticky. Highly recommend buying it." —Darshita

Get it from Laneige for $22+ (available in two sizes and a refill).

Promising reviews: "I use these a few nights a week, and I really do love them. They are easy to put on and stay put all night. In the morning, my forehead is glowing and smooth. Will order again for sure." —mlzg

"So, I was really debating whether or not I should get my Botox done to get an early start, but then I came across this product from TikTok and honestly saved me a lot of money! It actually works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I was very surprised how well it worked!" —Hannah

Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, I was still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light; you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love that you can use it on your eyes and lips!! Game-changer for me, will definitely try the others!" —Kristy 

"I love this. It makes dry skin glow, and you can also use it for many things, before applying makeup or before bedtime to wake up with a moisturizing look. I have dermatitis, and this is the only product that didn’t irritate my skin or make it look red." —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (also available in other formulas). 

Promising review: "I bought this on impulse because the serum I had been using previously was out of stock, and I am so glad I did. It moisturized and brightened my skin within the first use!!! I am 52 years old, and within a few days of using this, my skin looked so vibrant and glowing!!! I highly recommend everyone try it! You will see the difference in the appearance and texture of your skin. I absolutely love this product." —DooBee Doobee's 🐝

Get it from Amazon for $15.58+ (available in two sizes and another formula).

Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive, but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores; it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well on everyone on the first try, and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa

"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production, and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMae
