www.amazon.comPromising review: "I wasn't a fan of this mask when I first tried it (it felt a bit irritating and didn't seem to make much of a difference). Then I used it regularly, and wow—amazing results! My skin has a more even tone, the wrinkles around my eyes are less noticeable, and it really eliminated clogged pores and breakouts. I've never tried Hanacure, but I think this mask is fantastic." - SpruceMoose

www.amazon.comPromising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I've been using this product for six weeks, and I've seen a noticeable difference.

Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." - Amazon Customer

www.amazon.comPromising review: "I have smelled [Cheirosa '62] on other women in public and have been too scared to ask what it was they were wearing.

I can't stop smelling my own hair, and this stuff is amazing." - Caralina Casperson

I've tried several moisturizers and have been disappointed with all of them until now. This stuff is truly fantastic - incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I've definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is fantastic. I had questions when I first received the product, and I got a follow-up response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning, no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" - sbakey

www.amazon.comPromising review: "This product was super easy to use, and my hair actually curled! My hair is naturally straight and fine, and I'm allergic to most hair products, so I avoid using any. I wet my hair with a brush to dampen it, rolled each hair strand around two of the vertical strips, wound it up, and secured each strand with the provided hair ties. The next morning, I ran my fingers through my hair, and I was done! It takes just minutes, and the final result exceeded my expectations." - Verona B.

www.amazon.comwww.amazon.comPromising review: "Love this product. I bought it twice already. I've seen improvements in the size of my pores, redness around my nose, and dullness. Mind you, I maintain a strict skincare routine, but I'll stick to this product for a while. I use a cleaner, toner, then this Paula product, followed by my nighttime serum and my vitamin A (retinol) cream for face and the neck, and décolletage cream as well. Even my husband has noticed the improvement. If you're hesitant, you can opt for the travel-size bottle before committing." - Felicitas Martinez

22. Olaplex No. 3 repairing treatment for reviving dry, damaged, colored hair.*
23. K18 reparative treatment for addressing moisture and softness lost due to frequent bleaching or chemical treatments, or excessive use of heat-styling tools.*
I first heard about K18 from my hairstylists at the salon, and it appears that everyone in the world loves it too—it was sold out when I initially tried to buy it. I was amazed at how much softer and silkier my hair became. Don't be put off by the high price tag because a little goes a long way. One last thing: it takes four minutes to activate post-shower, then you canstyle your hair (or simply let it air dry like I do).

25. Matrixyl 3000 serum to hydrate, repair damaged skin, boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and even out pigmentation.
26. Stila mascara for a dreamy formula that won't flake, fade, or streak.*
Promising review: "I don't think I ever knew the true meaning of wide-awake eyes until I armed myself with this mascara from Stila. It has a weighty gold tube, so I knew it was special, and the applicator is curved in the center, with just the right amount of product on it. Clearly, from my experience, you can tell the obvious difference between the "with" and "without" application—and, TBH, the "without" was my general M.O. recently. But that has all changed now, thanks to this eyelash extension in a tube! Not only do my eyelashes appear thicker, but the length is truly phenomenal. I feel like a completely transformed, less-tired-looking woman with each application!
Promising review: "BEST mascara ever!!! I'm asked all the time if my eyelashes are real or if they are mine. Keep in mind I am 57 years old! This makes my lashes look luxurious and long, and healthy." - KC (Houston, TX)
Get it from Amazon for $26.
