1. A balancing toner that helps control excess oil production. This hydrating toner won’t strip your skin, but will instead keep it balanced and perfectly dewy without any oily residue.
Promising review: "This toner surprised me! It’s hands down the best option for oily skin. I struggle with dehydration while managing oiliness and acne. Most hydrating toners are either too expensive, cause breakouts, or contain harsh ingredients. This toner is deeply hydrating, calming, and keeps my pores clean. I love that it’s free of fragrances and essential oils, and it’s such a steal! The cleanser in the set is also great (haven’t tried the moisturizer yet). HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —Jo

Promising review: "This is a game-changer for super dry lips! It stays in place far better than regular lip balms. I used to reapply a popular lip balm, but this lasts even after eating or brushing my teeth. When I apply it before bed, my lips are still hydrated by morning, and the moisture improvement is huge. —LoveMyLily

Noteworthy review: "This is one of my holy grail skincare products. I use it daily. It’s light and a small amount goes a long way. I apply it just before my moisturizer. It helps clear congested skin and brightens it up. It feels wonderful on the skin. I love this product and this brand, as they provide high-quality products at great prices. I’m nearing the end of my first bottle and have already bought a replacement. I highly recommend it for all skin types." —Mgaffney248
7. A cleansing oil to effectively remove waterproof mascara! Cleansing oils are excellent makeup removers and also help eliminate excess dirt and SPF. I've been using this product for a long time as the first step in my double-cleansing routine, and I can confidently say that my skin is always left completely clean (and glowing — it doesn’t strip my skin) after using it.
Exciting review: "I’m so glad I discovered this brand at Target! It’s a Japanese brand that I used before for acne treatment, and it worked wonders. This particular product is amazing — it removes all my heavy makeup with just one or two pumps. Of course, I follow up with a regular cleanser (as you should after an oil cleanse). The makeup just melts off effortlessly. It also works wonders on eye makeup, and waterproof eyeliners are no longer a struggle to remove! I hope Target keeps this in stock forever!" —Stella

This product comes with a pack containing 32 star-shaped pimple patches.

Exciting review: "This product will turn those puffy, sagging bags under your eyes into the best skin you’ve ever had. I won’t say it’s a miracle, but I will say it made me look like I had a full eight hours of sleep — which, in reality, was just two hours after rolling out of bed..." —Miss Rackley
Price: $4.99
11. A Tree Hut Coco Colada shea sugar body scrub, because I’ve never felt my skin so soft and glowing at such an affordable price.

13. A hydrating facial cleanser is a must-have because cleansing your skin shouldn’t strip it of its essential oils! Your skin *requires* the healthy bacteria and oils that traditional foaming cleansers often remove. Use a moisturizing cleanser (like this one) to wash away the day’s impurities while keeping your skin nourished and hydrated to perfection.
Promising review: "I have acne-prone skin and have been using this for about four years now. I have very dry skin, and this cleanser leaves my face feeling clean without completely stripping it. I don’t use makeup wipes or cleansing balms because they tend to cause breakouts, so I just double (or triple) cleanse with this, and it removes everything!" —hannah

A jade gua sha tool for those days when your skin feels a bit puffier than usual. Think of gua sha as a facial workout (one you’ll actually *enjoy*). This tool helps to move stagnant lymphatic fluid beneath the skin, which can reduce puffiness, dryness, and even prevent breakouts.
Promising review: "I've used this every day since I got it. It's easier to use than my previous gua sha tool, and it's much more durable. My old one broke when I dropped it in the shower, but this one survived the drop without a scratch. I also love that it comes with a case that's perfect for storage and includes a diagram showing how to use it on different parts of the face." — AmandaLV

A tube of Aquaphor, because hear me out — Aquaphor isn't just for fading scars or keeping in a diaper bag. It’s actually the skincare world’s secret to glowing skin! Many use Aquaphor for a practice called "slugging," where you apply the ointment after your nighttime skincare routine to lock in all your hydrating serums and moisturizers.

A Burt's Bees clay mask to transition from oily to radiant skin.
