Everyone knows that it is important to take care of your skin. If you are good to it, it will be good to you. As a person ages, their skin starts changing. That means new products are sometimes needed.
There are thousands of different skin care products on the market, but not all of them work as they should. In fact, most people are let down when they pay high prices for products that don’t deliver the promised results.
You could use trial and error to find the best products, but that would be expensive and take up a lot of time. The best way to know if a product works or is worth the money is to read the online reviews.
Here are 35 products that have great reviews and ratings online. Some are expensive, and others are very affordable and just as good as their expensive competitors. The included reviews may come in handy if you are wondering which products are right for you.
1. Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser
This cleanser is great for everyday use or to use as a makeup remover. It’s gentle but also does a great job at removing makeup and all the grime and stress of the day. Holly said: “Honestly, this is one of the best cleansers and makeup removers I have ever used! It’s really gentle on my skin, doesn’t sting my eyes, and is really good at removing grime!”
2. Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream
Soft skin is what everyone dreams about, but few lotions and creams actually improve skin. However, Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream helps skin build up a moisture barrier, so it stays fresh and soft all day. Maggie wrote: “This moisturizing creme is the best! It smells really good, makes my skin really soft, and gets rid of all the dry, flaky patches. I have been using it for over two years now and have recommended it to all three of my sisters — I just really love it. Plus, there’s also a travel-sized squeezable tube of this which is perfect for when I go on trips!”
3. Innisfree Volcanic Cleaning Foam
This cleaning foam gets rid of gunk and grime and leaves your skin feeling fresh. It has some of the best reviews of any cleanser on Amazon, too. LLD180 said: “One of the best foaming face washes I’ve used, and I’ve tried a lot. It really cleans your face well without being overdrying. I usually try to always remove my makeup first, but when I forget to or am just too lazy, this face wash still gets my face super clean!! It has also significantly reduced the congestion in my pores.”
4. Skin Food Peach Sake Serum
This serum helps with both dry skin and oily skin by balancing the body’s natural oils. It also smells great. It’s one of the best beauty products on the market. An unnamed user wrote: “Where do I start? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I have extremely oily skin and no product has worked for me before: This is seriously the ONLY product that has been able to control my oily skin. I’ve used other expensive oil controlling serums in the past, and none of them can touch this product. It may be my imagination, but I swear that it has actually changed the consistency of my skin. My skin feels very soft and supple. I use this under my makeup and before I got to bed, and I actually wake up shine-free!”
5. St. Ives Renewing Moisturizer
This is an affordable skin moisturizer that works just as well as more expensive brands. People can’t stop talking about it online. JOanny wrote: “I have dry skin — or should I say, HAD?! Ever since I’ve started using this product, my skin has been as soft as a baby’s bum and super hydrated! This moisturizer is inexpensive and so worth it — I’m sticking with it for life. Thank you, St. Ives; never, ever discontinue this product!”
6. Acure Brightening Scrub
Who doesn’t want brighter skin? Finding a brightening scrub that actually works can be tough, though. Acure Brightening Scrub is an affordable and effective option. According to BBQ222: “Who’d have thought you could get excited about a facial scrub? I love this stuff! The ingredients are natural — nothing synthetic! It doesn’t dry out my skin, and my cheeks are always baby soft after using it. This is my third time ordering this tube of green scrubbing greatness!”
Bio Oil does a little bit of everything. It helps hide stretch marks and scars, and it can moisturize skin and remove blemishes. That’s probably why so many people recommend it. Twitch wrote: “I swear by this product. It’s very effective on discolored skin from scarring: a breakout ravaged the lower part of my face, and I was pretty sure it was going to leave hideous scarring behind. I bought this and started applying it when I started scabbing and still haven’t stopped using it. Just check out my before and after pics…it really works.”
8. Peace Out Pores Strips
These strips can help remove blackheads and shrink your pores. Smaller pores give you a younger and fresher appearance. LaurenMcA said: “I have fairly sensitive skin and am always worried about trying any products that ‘stick’ to your face. After having bad experiences with pore strips in the past, I was pleasantly surprised with how amazing these were! Not only do they remove so much dirt and oil from my pores, but they also leave my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized. I put these on once a week before bed and have noticed such a difference in my skin — my breakouts have definitely been reduced!”
Rosehip oil can help soothe dry patches and clear up red spots and blemishes. This brand of rosehip oil gets great reviews. Alyssa wrote: “This oil is amazing!! It has evened out my skin tone, balanced my oily and dry patches, and cleared up my blemishes — all in only two weeks of use. This is the best my skin has ever looked, and even my friends and coworkers are noticing.”
10. The Body Shop Tea Tree Mask
If oily skin is an issue for you, try a tea tree mask. It can absorb oil and help balance your skin. The Body Shop makes a popular tea tree mask with all these benefits and more. Librajen wrote: “I am 46 and still have crazy oily skin — not just my t-zone, but my ENTIRE face. I have also suffered with occasional breakouts since I was 12 and have tried SO many products! But this mask is a total game-changer! I put it on about an hour before bedtime so it dries down a bit, and in the morning, my skin is MATTE, moisturized, and clear!! I am gob-smacked! I LOVE this!”
11. Cera Ve Moisturizing Crème
Moisturizing cream can help make the skin look more youthful. It can prevent dry, flaking skin and signs of aging. That’s if you can find one that works. Cera Ve Moisturizing Crème is a popular product on Amazon. One user, Susana Rodriguez, said: “If you are doubting this product, stop what you are doing and buy it right now. It WILL change your life. I had SEVERE eczema on my face and it was incredibly painful: I had red, inflamed, itchy, flaky, and disgusting skin. I tried everything, from organic to high-priced products, and nothing worked until I picked up a $2 sample of this at Walgreens after reading the reviews online. Well, it is a miracle product. My face feels amazing. I use it twice daily, and my eczema is gone. It has also diminished my acne breakouts by 98%. I also want to add that I didn’t get anything for free or was asked to do this review, I just honestly needed to share my experience.”
12. The Body Shop Chamomile Body Butter
Body butter is a nice alternative to other lotions. There are numerous kinds on the market, but this one appears to have great reviews. Naimz said: “My sister told me I should try this out, and I have to say that this is one of the best makeup removers that I’ve ever used.

14. Peter Thomas Roth Masks
Masks are fun and a great way to take care of your skin. This mask kit by Peter Thomas Roth has several different masks to choose from and has great online reviews. Brenna said: “I love these masks, they all have different instructions so I got more use out of some them others, the gold one says to slather on a think later and others are just a thin coating. But overall very worth it and I will definitely be buying some of them in full size.”
15. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay
If your skin is looking tired or just needs to be repaired, this healing clay may do the trick. Rebecca Shady wrote: “Cystic acne: the bane of my dermatological life, and maybe yours too? This clay has helped immensely in keeping it at bay. I do a treatment once a week (since it is a bit time-consuming), but I haven’t had any of those awful underground, takes-two-weeks-to-surface pimples since I’ve started using the clay. Combined with apple cider vinegar, it’s immensely helpful for oily, cystic acne-prone skin. My skin’s been so much happier since I’ve started using it. You need this. Right now.”

Stephani 0023 wrote: “I really like this moisturizer!! It’s lightweight but packs a punch of hydration, and it keeps my oily t-zone in check. I love the watermelon scent (it’s not too heavy), and I love how this brand is all-natural and doesn’t use water in their formula — they use fruit and other natural juices that are great for your skin.”
18. Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Mask
Sleep masks are a wonderful way to treat your skin while you sleep. This one will make your face and your pillow smell like summertime. DeanHeet23 said: “I love this product and you don’t need very much to do wonders for your skin. Just apply it at night before bed and simply rinse off your face in the morning.

Alexa wrote: “I was really skeptical about buying this, but I’m so happy I did! I started using this about a month ago: I first noticed that my skin texture was WAYYY smoother, and then I noticed that all of my active acne fully went away. This product has also been a lifesaver for diminishing dark spots! I use this product every night, follow it up with rosehip oil, and it’s perfect.”
24. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
This facial moisturizer is gentle enough for sensitive skin, but it can also get the job done. It doesn’t leave behind an oily residue, like some other facial creams.

Why did nobody talk about hydrocolloid patches when I was a teen? These truly do shrink your pimples (as long as it is an open or popped one). I just put one on before bed and by morning, voilà! All that’s left is a small bump if anything at all. I seriously couldn’t believe my eyes. (All those years of suffering from acne! I’m in my thirties now with hormonal acne, btw.) These are magic!”

I am 35 and I am looking for wrinkle preventative but yet I still break out if I use something too oily or thick. This offers great moisture plus I don’t break out. I use the eye cream plus the face moisturizer and serum. I’ve had the $150 eye creams and this is still my favorite and offers some tightening when you apply.”

This is a great product if you need help evening your skin tone and also want to moisturize. The serum isn’t sticky, and it lasts a long time. Enkode said: “My wife was buying this exact product labeled something else from a local place. They re-branded it and doubled the price. She needed wanted me to pick it up for her and the shop was closed so I googled the UPC code and found this… at half price. She loves it and looks great. Highly recommend.”
This product may seem a little pricey, but it works. It can help heal tired and dry skin. It can also improve the skin’s texture over time if used regularly. J Joy said: “This is the second bottle I’ve used. It is less expensive on Amazon. I was concerned of authenticity, however, it came fulling wrapped and sealed as one I bought from Dermatologist.

The first time I used this I could just feel my skin soak it in. It does not feel heavy or greasy on your skin. I wish they would sell it by the gallons.
