Customer Testimonials: "Wow! I have dry, acne-prone skin and had recently been prescribed retinol and clindamycin, and even got an ear piercing. While the prescriptions helped clear my skin, I started breaking out in areas I never had before. I bought this to replace the clindamycin in the mornings, and my skin has been consistently great for two months. I use it after washing my face, followed by a hydrating serum or just moisturizer and sunscreen. (At night, I use retinol or Good Genes). I haven’t had maskne, my acne cleared up, and there’s nothing to complain about. I even got a new ear piercing and made sure to be cautious with products, and found that this one is helpful for new piercings/promotes healing. I’m not spraying it on my ear, but when I spray my face generously, I haven’t had any irritation. It does smell like chlorine at first, but the scent fades quickly. This spray is magical!" —spokanecf

Former Mytour Shopping writer Daniel Boan says: "This is my first-ever 'TikTok made me buy it' purchase, and I've been hooked ever since. I'd been hearing about the magic of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids for a while (these are chemical exfoliants that work by dissolving dead skin cells instead of scrubbing them off), but wasn't sure where to start. When I saw this taking over TikTok, I decided to give it a go.
I applied a thin layer of the blood-red formula to my face and braced myself for a slight tingling sensation that faded within about 30 seconds. I left it on for eight minutes (Don't leave it on longer than 10 minutes! It's strong stuff!), rinsed it off, and was amazed by how instantly bright and smooth my skin looked. It's now a staple in my weekly skincare routine, and it will always have a permanent place in my regimen."
Get it from Sephora, Ulta, or Target for $9.50.
24. A tinted skin conditioner because foundation can feel a little heavy as the weather warms up. (Yay, it's coming!)

This product contains SPF 11 *but* the American Dermatological Association recommends sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher (like one of our favorites, Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen), so this isn't enough *on its own* for daily protection!

Promising review: "I've struggled with acne for 15 years, and this is the FIRST product that didn’t make me break out. It doesn’t feel like makeup, either. I wore it for a major TV production, and it was so comfortable. I kept it on for 11 hours! I chose a lighter shade since I got the finishing powder, which matches my skin better. I wasn't sure if the tint would oxidize, so I played it safe and went lighter. Three days after wearing it, my skin feels great and no new breakouts! As an African American woman with oily skin and acne scars, this was a game-changer. TLB nailed it!" —Hair Queen
Get it at Target (available in 12 shades) for $16.99 or from The Lip Bar (available in nine shades) for $17.
25. The famous Aztec Secret Healing Clay that works like a vacuum to clear out pores.
