New beauty products are always hitting the market, claiming to be the best. It’s overwhelming to find what you’re looking for with a million voices vying for your attention. But through the noise, a few really high-quality products stand out for one simple reason: they work. I’ve shopped Amazon to find the hottest beauty trends that have gained popularity for the simple fact that they do exactly what they claim to do. And best of all? These are just a click away. But you better act fast: Amazon keeps selling out of these beauty products that work so freaking well.

1A Lightweight Eye Gel With More Than 20,000 Reviews

Reviewers say using this eye gel twice a day has yielded nearly unbelievable results — so add to cart quickly. The morning and night-time eye gel can reduce puffiness, dark circles, and bags by heaping an amazing amount of hydration to your skin. It’s packed with vitamin E, jojoba oil, and an amino acid blend that deeply moisturizes by helping your skin produce more collagen. Unlike some other under-eye creams, this one is lightweight and free of parabens and sulfates.

2This Pencil Eyeliner That Won’t Smudge At All

If you prefer pencil eyeliner, try this Amazon Choice that’s under $10. The nano-thin pencil tip is self-sharpening (just give it a twist) and makes it easy to apply — even if you’re doing a precise cat eye. It’s designed to stay put all day: and it’s resistant to water, smudges, and sweat. It’s available in six shades.

3An Under-Eye Cream That Reviewers Love

This under-eye cream offers impressive results but is gentle on your eyes. It’s made with retinol to smooth the skin under your eyes and help eliminate dark circles. The hypoallergenic cream has earned more than 15,000 reviews and is Amazon’s Choice for “eye treatments.” The price is hard to beat, but you better act fast — this baby sells out quickly.

4The Heatless Curlers That Are Comfortable Enough To Sleep In

Getting bouncy, voluminous curls in your hair is a total breeze with these curlers. No heat is required — simply roll them into your wet hair, then go about your day. They’re comfortable enough to sleep in, and the satin material won’t cause frizz or damage to delicate strands.

5The Hair Protein Treatment Reviewers Say To Buy Now

This hair protein treatment makes your hair look smoother and shinier even after just one use, thanks to ingredients like ceramides. Just ask one of the 24,000 reviewers who helped give this product a 4.4-star rating. The formula is designed for all hair types and coats your locks to repair damaged and over-processed hair for a fraction of the price of a salon treatment. One reviewer noted, “If you care about your hair at all BUY THIS.”

6The Nail Polish That Looks Professional After One Coat

It can be hard to find a nail polish that competes with salon-quality brands, but this full-coverage nail polish is a worthy opponent. It’s made to give you a professional-looking, opaque manicure in just one coat. Plus it’s vegan — made with 78% natural ingredients like hydrating shea butter and botanicals and free of 20 controversial polish ingredients. It comes in 22 fun shades and has a flat brush and ergonomic cap that make painting (even with your non-dominant hand) a breeze.

7A Facial Exfoliant That Hydrates And Cleans

Reviewers (and this pick has more than 45,000 of them) love this facial exfoliator because it does it all: unclogs and shrinks pores, brightens your complexion, removes impurities, and hydrates. The gentle, non-abrasive exfoliant is made up of BHA, salicylic acid, and green tea, which exfoliate your skin, cleanse it, and soothe any sensitivities, respectively. Plus, it’s only $10 — which is why it’s hard to keep stocked.

8The Water-Resistant Sunscreen With A Milky, Blendable Finish

Protect your skin with this super water-resistant sunscreen that’s shockingly under $20. Offering SPF-50 protection, the silky formula blends in easily to skin for a lightweight, milky, and never-greasy feel. Unlike some formulas, this one is suitable for use on your face and body.

9The Lipstick That Provides A Personalized Shade

12The Lip Plumper Set That Doesn’t Require Injections

If you’re looking for fuller lips but rather skip the painful injections, this lip plumper set is for you. It comes with two lip plumpers that instantly add volume to your lips by increasing blood circulation.
