THE SOLUTION: A gluten-free moisturizing cream made to help people with sensitive skin. Get relief from irritated, cracking, or itchy skin with this formula that is free of dyes, fragrances, and parabens. And it won't clog your pores!
Many reviewers use this for relief from eczema!
Promising review: “I love Vanicream products, especially this lotion. I have an autoimmune disease and psoriasis, so even on a good day my skin is very dry, easily irritated, and super sensitive to everything from fragrances to dyes to some natural extracts and oils. I recently switched from CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, which was irritating my skin and causing breakouts, to this Vanicream lotion and I am so happy I did! My skin is so much calmer, smoother, and actually moisturized. This lotion is truly fragrance-free, which is a must for me, and works great on my whole body and my face with no breakouts! I will definitely be reordering when I run out. Highly recommend.” —MissMae

Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. THE PROBLEM: Oily skin
THE SOLUTION: A foaming face wash designed for oily skin since its soothing, antioxidant-rich formula contains purifying zinc pidolate, which is known to remove excess oil.
Promising review: “I can only assume that everyone else trying this product has also tried a dozen other skincare products that claim to eliminate oily skin while also being sensitive enough not to dry it out. I also assume that most people looking at this product failed to find a legitimate skincare product that works. Perhaps it is because the French are fancy and expect the best, but they do know how to make one hell of a face wash. This stuff has done miracles for my face. It does not dry my face out, which means my face is not constantly trying to defeat itself by producing more oil and it does a nice job of keeping 'the shine' away (all of you with oily faces know what I am talking about). It is my go-to morning shower face wash and it has really helped my skin look better." —Mr. B
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
5. THE PROBLEM: Blackheads
THE SOLUTION: A cute lil' octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away excess sebum and exfoliate your pores. It'll help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and whatever else is trapped in your clogged pores.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me. Smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
6. THE PROBLEM: New pimples
THE SOULTION: Hydrocolloid acne patches for times when you feel a pimple coming on. Wear one of these overnight and wake up to find that your acne gunk has been absorbed by the patch.
Promising review: “I wasn't sure if this was going to hold up to its promise...but it did! I used this on a massive zit growing on my nose, making me look like Rudolph, and the first night it took down the swelling a bit and lessened the redness. Day two it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decided to purchase this, nothing will." —Cassee Colson

7. THE PROBLEM: Keratosis pilaris — "chicken skin"
THE SOLUTION: A CeraVe body wash with salicylic acid and ceramides to help you deal with any "chicken skin" flare-ups. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling moisturized!
Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I have had bumps on the back of my arms and top of my thighs for as long as I can remember. I've used this with a exfoliating sponge TWICE and they are noticeably smaller and my arms actually feel smooth!! I'm sure as I continue to use it they will be gone completely. I rarely write reviews but had to come tell you all how awesome this stuff is if you are dealing with the same problems. NO MORE CHICKEN SKIN!! YAYY." —Taymcg

8. THE PROBLEM: Clogged pores
THE SOLUTION: Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant that'll help gently unclog your pores, all while exfoliating and brightening your skin. This leave-on formula is gentle enough for daily use.
Promising review: "I bought this in a dark time. My skin texture was garbage, all my pores were massive, I had clogged pores all over my face, and I was just waiting for them to become actual acne. I got this because I just wanted SOMETHING to help with my skin texture while I waited for my oral prescription. Now listen here — THE FIRST time I used it, I saw a difference. My forehead and my cheeks right to the side of my nose were flawless. I don’t know what kind of stuff was in it that provided immediate results. I thought maybe that was just 'fake' results, like it has something to gloss over the skin surface to give the appearance of smoothness. But then I used this stuff twice a day for four days, and alllll of the tiny red pimples all over my cheeks and forehead were gone and my pores STAYED small! I am telling you. This product has changed my whole face in under a week. It’s so clear! I expect to have full celebrity skin going forward. You have to try this. You barely need to use any of it, too. It’s a thicker gel liquid, so it smooths on so easily and you don’t have to use a ton like with a toner or micellar water. I’m just shook. I’ll buy this for the rest of my life!!" —K Fied

9. THE PROBLEM: Dark spots
THE SOLUTION: A plant-based face serum whose blend of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil may give you skin so bright, you'll light up every room you enter.
Promising reviews: "I noticed results right away. Within the first week, the age spots on my face were much lighter. I was using Eva Naturals Retinol serum for over a month and barely noticed any change. That's why I switched to TruSkin Nationals Vitamin C Serum. This product works really well and offers fast results. I highly recommend." —Sis
"I was looking for a non-laser way to reduce sun spots, ran across the reviews of this serum and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! My sun spots are noticeably lighter in only two weeks." —Gabriellenic
Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes).
10. THE PROBLEM: Scarring
THE SOLUTION: A skin-repairing body oil chock-full of natural oils good for reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Its skin-renewal formula will help get rid of acne scars, surgery scars, and so much more!
Just make sure to use sunscreen with this since it can make you a bit more sensitive to the sun.
Promising review: "I'm 27 and still struggling with acne and the scarring that comes with it. After one use of this over night, my skin texture and acne itself looked noticeably better. It's now been only three days since I've been using this before bed time and I'm just amazed how clear and soft my skin is, and it's less oily throughout the day. This stuff is awesome and can't wait to see the out come of using it long term!" —Stephanie Fifolt

11. THE PROBLEM: Dead skin
THE SOLUTION: An exfoliating glove that'll help you bring the spa experience home. Easily lift away dead skin to reveal soft and healthy skin.
Promising reviews: "I’ve been searching for something to help take dead skin off for ages because every time I lotion up after shower, I always get gross skin. This thing did what it promises!! I feel so soft and fresh and my skin doesn’t feel raw either. I’m a fan." —elizabeth
"You might think you're exfoliating your skin but TRUST ME, you haven't been. You'll be SHOCKED and maybe even a little disgusted when you see how much skin comes off on these gloves the first time you use them. Take a long, warm shower, then, with no soap, use these mitts after you're all rinsed off. Scrub your body well in a circular motion. Then look at the mitts! They'll look like they've been sprinkled with flour! You'll never get that much skin off your body again with subsequent uses, so don't forget to look because it's incredible. And get ready to be bowled over when you dry off. Hello softness!!!" —isaidso

Ever since then I haven't had one ingrown hair (in six years). I recommend it highly and I'll never use anything else. It really is a miracle solution. Now I just keep it in the shower with me and dab a little on after every shave. Highly recommended for any type of skin." —TENNESSEE ♡FRESH
