Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch ($10, originally $13)

The rare times I get pimples, this Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch does the job with ease. I mostly use it at night for six hours (as directed), and peel it off, revealing practically new skin. Read more about my experience in our Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch review.

Editor Quote: "From its unmatched staying power to the undeniable results, I can say that the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Acne Patch truly lives up to the hype. Thanks to its gel formula, the patch gently clings to the skin for hours while effortlessly absorbing all of the gunk in the pimple. This is great, whether you're a heavy sleeper or on the go all day. It also helps you beat the annoying temptation of picking at your face, which helps prevent scabs and scarring caused by popping pimples." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Differin Gel Acne Treatment with Adapalene ($12, originally $15)

If you have stubborn acne, try Differin Gel. The powerful over-the-counter retinoid acne treatment targets clogged pores and inflammation to combat breakouts. Our beauty section lead uses it; read her Differin Gel Acne Treatment with Adapalene review for more details.

Editor Quote: "The Differin Adapalene Gel is very different from the prescription topical I was given. It's much gentler, for starters. While I still went through an adjustment period as my skin got used to the powerful vitamin A derivative — which usually causes some purging, dryness, flakiness, or slight redness — it was much more tolerable for me. The gel texture is very lightweight, and a little bit (about a pea size) is easily blended onto my entire face." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence ($19, originally $25)

The star ingredient in this essence is snail mucin, a sticky substance produced by snails that's great for quenching dry skin. The texture is lightweight, with a cooling gel texture that's both non-greasy and non-sticky. Its comfortable application is just one of the reasons tens of thousands of shoppers have rated it five stars, calling it "transformative" and "magic for your skin." Learn more by checking out our COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence review.

Editor Quote: "It's been months since I started using the essence daily. I use it after cleansing and before applying moisturizer, and I am a complete convert. Though I was worried the additional skin-care step would clog my pores over time, leading to pimples and what have you, my skin's texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too. For a while, I had been feeling as though the cream would just sit atop my skin after application, and now I feel like it's actually penetrating through and sinking in. Best of all, I finally feel close to glazed doughnut status." — Kelsey Garcia, lifestyle director

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand Liquid Highlighter ($29, originally $42)

This highlight-blush duo adds a flush of color with the illusion of extra-dewy skin. The cushion applicator makes it easy to dot on and blend with a brush or fingers. Our editor tested it out after seeing it go viral on TikTok and instantly became a fan. For more details and photos, read our Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand Liquid Highlighter review.

Editor Quote: "Despite looking like a bingo marker, the cushion applicator is ingenious. Resembling a faux bunny tail, the fluffy cushion manages to remain soft and velvety even after oozing with product. It's so foolproof, I can't even be upset about how the tube feels like it's made up of 50 percent air. Luckily, a little goes a long way, and you can build up several layers of this blush without even having to pump out more product." — Samantha Sasso, senior branded editor

Crest 3D Whitestrips ($30, originally $46)

Crest Whitestrips are a classic you shouldn't overlook. One of our editors used them for just three consecutive days leading up to her wedding and saw significant results in that short amount of time. (See the before and after pictures in our Crest 3D Whitestrips review.) They're worth the slight discomfort and arguably much more comfortable, convenient, and affordable than a professional treatment.

Editor Quote: "After just four treatments, the difference is already remarkable. The "before" image on the left and the "after" image on the right clearly shows the noticeable change. And I've barely made a dent in the box with plenty of treatments left." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor
