19 Weird But Brilliant Skin Care Products That…

When it comes to healing acne scars, fluffnut101 says "I really like Benton High Content Snail Bee Essence and have been using it for a long time." It combines snail extract and bee venom to create a formula with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-viral properties. It also helps to brighten your complexion and maintain hydration throughout the day.

"This one is the best of the lot IMO!" says dessai89 about KYPRIS Moonlight Catalyst. "It's a gel consistency and you put it on at night. It has pumpkin enzymes so it exfoliates skin using a natural form of vitamin A. It's just brilliant for giving a glow to skin and helping it have more clarity. I can't explain it, but it works." It's also promises that it's 100 percent natural and vegan.

For oily acne-prone skin, neosimmel suggests an "Egg white face mask... Very drying but very effective." The Skinfood egg white pore mask uses egg white extracts that penetrate deep into pores to balance skin and remove oily build-up. "My face is oily and is prone to blackheads/whiteheads. After just one use, the mask cleared out most of my pores and left my face clean and smooth," says one reviewer.

"I recently have come across and been addicted to Matcha," says Reddit user mya_25. "Matcha is a green tea and it is very popular in Japan. It has cleared my cystic acne, guys!" Once Upon A Tea Matcha mud mask pulls out toxins, encourages collagen growth, and repairs skin with nutrients, all while leaving your face hydrated and soft.

Made with antibacterial honey, SCINIC Honey all in one ampoule is a favorite for psithyrstes. "Not the most cosmetically elegant, but I've been using it for over a year and it provides great hydration/antioxidants/glow at an unbelievable price; I only need two bottles a year! plus honey/niacinamide helps with acne."

Another recommendation from psithyrstes is this Mizon Black Snail all-in-one cream. The secret ingredients? Shea butter and snail secretion. "While this isn't ideal moisture for winter, it is perfect in summer: dries matte, has linoleic acid, has anti-inflammatory snail, has a bevy of antioxidants, and makes my skin very smooth and well-textured."

"A few weeks ago I read a random blog about a girl who had recently discovered activated charcoal soap as her saving grace to her skin," says AntiGravityCat. "This has worked wonders for me and started to work after about a week of washing with it 3-4 times per week. I am now pretty much acne free, with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 small spots a week." Joanna Vargas activated charcoal Miracle Bar has insane reviews because it promises to balance oil, remove impurities, moisturize dry skin, and heal acne.

According to kezzie87, another great mask is the "Queen Helene Mint Julep mask... leave it on overnight and it works WONDERS!" The user also claims that it started working on stubborn blackheads after only a 30 minutes. It's made with two types of clay and sulfur, which aim to pull out impurities and fight acne from the inside out.

Reddit user angelcrunch calls De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment a "holy grail" product. "It's a weird little product but a gem that I found out about... I've heard great things about this product and after using it for about a week I'm finally noticing that it's working. I put it all over my face after cleansing and leave it on for 20 minutes like a mask." This one also comes in a pack of three, so you can even use it as full-body acne treatment.

Though it's marketed towards toddlers, tons of Reddit users love the way their skin reacts to CeraVe baby wash and shampoo. "Since using the Cerave Baby for a few weeks... my skin is currently on its way towards healing, slowly but surely," says kellykellykellyyy who uses it for perioral dermatitis. "More importantly, the rest of my face hasn't gotten worse, even though I haven't been able to use any moisturizers since I self-diagnosed."

If you really know your stuff when it comes to beauty, you've probably heard of My Beauty Diary. Despite the Taiwanese brand's slightly silly name, they make some of the best sheet masks out there — they're actually the number one sheet mask brand in Asia — and Reddit's devoted skin care community agrees. With this 10-pack, you can try all their most beloved masks. For just $20, you'll get one of each of the following: the Black Pearl Brightening Mask, Red Vine Revitalizing Mask, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask, Mexico Cactus Mask, Natto Fermented Moisturizing Mask, Damask Rose Mask, Squalene Restorative Hydrating Mask, Aloe Vera Soothing Mask, Royal Pearl Radiance Mask, Imperial Bird's Nest Emoliating Mask.

"Rosehip seed oil has been a HG for me as a day moisturizer," says madeenz. "As a dry oil it absorbs ridiculously fast and provides a natural, non-chemical laden way for me to even out my skin which has had freckles and uneven tone. I hear it works great for hyperpigmentation as well." This one from Natures Leaf is cold-pressed, unrefined, and non-GMO.

Yes, these peeling pads are purple, and yes, they smell like grapes, but guess what — they're absolutely amazing. Thought the pads themselves are purple because of the resveratrol-based formula they're soaked in, the color doesn't transfer onto your skin at all. Instead, they gently exfoliate skin (both physically and chemically), resulting in a clear, vibrant complexion. In addition to resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that comes from red wine, this formula boasts glycolic and lactic acid, which are both AHAs. The pads come with convenient pouches for your fingers which makes exfoliating a breeze. They also make an especially great gift for the red wine loving beauty junkie in your life.

People love Freeman masks because they're so affordable, yet really effective — but this one's especially cool because it can also be used as a scrub. Regardless of which way you use it, this isn't a product that needs to be left on skin long. As a mask, apply it and wait until it's dry before rinsing; as a scrub, simply massage gently onto skin, then rinse. Either way, you'll be left with a sqeaky clean, glowing complexion — and it's great for fighting acne, too.

"Tea tree oil is an antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial treatment," says jenniferocious, who uses it as a spot treatment. "It feels cool and tingly, which I actually think feels nice." This Create Cosmetics tea tree treatment also contains Benzoyl Peroxide to help with inflammation, bacteria, and adult acne.

Most people shy away from oils when they have acne-prone skin, but overly dry pores will actually produce excess sebum to compensate. "I've been using vitamin E and A oil as a moisturizer and its been working great," says Supyohii. "My face is never dry or greasy." This red raspberry seed oil is loaded with Vitamins A and E. It also promises to improve elasticity, help to regenerate cell growth, and immediately absorbs into skin for matte-looking hydration.

"I feel like my single most important part of my routine is using an astringent after I get out of the shower," says richc3. "I use Witch Hazel formulated for it, but I think you can use most other kinds of astringent as well." Quinns witch hazel toner promises to cleanse, even, and condition, but because it's alcohol free, it does so without disrupting skin's natural moisture. It's also formulated with aloe and rose petal water to help soothe sensitive skin.

"Frankincense essential oil has really been helping me with acne and scarring, hyperpigmentation, etc.," says love475, "but I only use it in emergency situations, as its quite strong." This one by WellnessScent claims to be 100 percent pure and is USDA organic, and it can be mixed into your favorite cleansers or moisturizers to help clear up skin the natural way.

"Pixi Glow Tonic!" says AnthonyJCrawly. "People have said the PH is too high for it to be effective, but by some miracle it gives me glowing skin. The only time I get pimples now is if I miss a day." It rejuvenates and soothes with aloe vera and ginseng, and reviewers say that it leaves your face feeling refreshed instead of dry.
