One thing about me? I’m gonna read the reviews. Before hitting purchase on anything — especially beauty products that’ll be on my face or body — I want to make sure that I’m not spending my money on a mysterious tube or bottle nobody else can vouch for, and I imagine many other shoppers feel the same.
That’s why it’s always a delight to come across those ever-so-rare skin care, hair, nail or makeup products with more than 100,000 reviews that still manage to have more than four stars as their average rating. I take that as a very good sign of reliability, and have made a habit of keeping track of products that have hit that milestone. Below, I’ve rounded them up for you, so you can check out some of the trustworthy options for yourself.
From drugstore staples to TikTok favorites that actually work, here are the beauty products everyone and their mother is raving about — so don’t miss out.

This Maybelline concealer has to be one of the most popular makeup products I've ever come across. I mean, having almost 150,000 perfect 5-star ratings is hard to beat. Infused with haloxyl for an anti-aging formula to reduce the appearance of dark circles, this concealer is also versatile: You can even grab slightly lighter and darker shades than your regular concealer to use this for contouring and highlighting. Reviewers love its ability to blend and its smoothness so much, it's a hill they're willing to die on (literally, according to the reviewer below). Get it in 18 shades, including two "neutralizer" and "brightener" shades for color correcting.
Promising review: "I have been repurchasing this concealer for years. It holds up when it’s set, blends like a dream and looks skin-like. I will probably be buying this until the day I day because if I know anything at all, I know this is the concealer I want to be buried with on my face." — Double L

This gentle toner can hydrate, improve skin texture and reduce pore size along with a host of other benefits. It's also soothing and non-irritating on the skin, thanks to ingredients like aloe vera, witch hazel, rose water and an alcohol-free formula. Even if you've never tried toner before as a step in your skin care routine, reviewers who were in the same boat say this is the one that changed their mind.

Olaplex has made a name for itself as a trusted hair brand, and this pre-shampoo treatment for dry and damaged hair is just one of its several beloved products. Meant to be used weekly and suitable for all hair types, you can apply this stuff to damp hair, leave it in for up to 10 minutes and then rinse it off before shampooing like normal. The result? Stronger, healthier hair that's less prone to breakage, according to the brand and reviewers who have tried it.
Promising review: "I have naturally curly hair, plus lots of breakage issues from health problems and this Olaplex 3 has really improved my hair, made it stronger & with less breakage. I use it 2X week and as with most things, it takes time to see good results, but even my hairdresser made the comment that my hair was lots better. And I'm so glad that there's no scent to it as I'm extremely smell sensitive. This stuff has really helped, and I will continue to keep buying & using it." — obarc

I swear by these makeup wipes, and it appears the rest of the internet does too. They're the top bestseller in the makeup cleansing wipes category and one of the top beauty bestsellers overall. The wipes are gentle on the skin, compostable and actually effective — they remove up to 99% of makeup, according to the brand, and my face always feels fresh and clean after using a Neutrogena wipe, whether I just want to get rid of oil and sunscreen or I'm wiping off a full face of makeup.

14 makeup brushes for as low as $9 (depending on which color you choose among seven options) is incredible value, if you ask me. The set includes five large face brushes and nine smaller ones for everything from eyeshadow to concealer to lips, including one double-sided eyebrow brush complete with a spoolie. The brushes are vegan and made of synthetic fiber that's friendly to sensitive skin. This would also make a great gift for the makeup enthusiast in your life; just saying.
Promising review: "I was in the market for new brushes and these were on sale and I do not regret purchasing. The bristles are nice and sturdy And wash up nice when cleaning. There’s no shedding At all like you get with cheap brushes. I have been using them for a few months and they have been holding up well especially for the price. I would totally recommend!" — JennS

As you might know, cuticle oil is an expert-recommended product to strengthen your nails, and this particular bottle is a reviewer favorite. Cuccio's fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula contains natural oils and vitamin E for ultimate hydration. You can get the oil in a bunch of different scents, including a fragrance-free option, and the brand says one drop per nail is enough to revitalize your cuticles.
Promising review: "I’m 70 and have tried a hundred different oils, and lotions, nothing has ever helped my dry cuticles until now. I waited to use it for a few weeks to see if it worked, before reviewing it. It is the only product ever that’s improved my cuticles. I use it a few times a day, I’m so happy to find a product that works. No more cracked dried cuticles. I think it’s even helping my nails. It’s a big bottle and will last a long time. It’s a good value too." — vikki

The Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch pimple patches have been holding steady at the top of the Amazon's bestsellers list for a while now. The patches are formulated with medical-grade hydrocolloid, a gel-forming material that heals the skin and was originally primarily used for wound care.
The brand says the patches can lead to results in six to eight hours, a claim backed up by multiple reviewers. They have a translucent matte finish and adhere to the skin, so you don't have to worry about them falling off while you sleep.

If you like the look of wearing false lashes but hate the feeling of actually wearing them, Essence's Lash Princess False Lash Effect, which is both volumizing and lengthening, might be the product for you. The mascara has an astonishing 258,000+ 5-star ratings.
It has a straight conic fiber brush that's designed to keep the mascara from clumping or globbing on your lashes. It's also cruelty-, oil- and fragrance-free — so even those with sensitive eyes can enjoy using it.

The oil is suitable for all hair types and can be used every day or whenever you want a more intense hair treatment. You can also apply it to your split ends before you shampoo them for extra nourishment.

By now, you may know that Vitamin C has some scientifically backed skin benefits: It can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, as well as dark spots. It's just one of the brightening ingredients at work in this exfoliating sugar scrub from Tree Hut — others include grapefruit oil and alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). The scrub has a citrus scent and siphons off dull, dead skin cells to leave you with brighter, smoother, softer skin.
Promising review: "The smell is light and sweet. I often use it with exfoliating gloves and it removes dead skin cells and reveals brighter glowing skin. A little sure goes a long way, can last me 3 months with weekly use. Would definitely purchase again!" — Arielle

White nail polish is a classic year-round; you can apply a full coat, or use it to paint a French mani or other nail art. This gel polish comes in a glossy white that can last at least three weeks, as long as you properly apply it with a base and top coat, and cure it with an LED light. (These are all sold separately, but you can get a set that includes the base and top coat along with the gel polish — we've linked it below.) Reviewers say it's easy to apply and has a smooth consistency. At just $7 a bottle, it could save you a ton on nail salon appointments in the long run.
Promising review: "Thrilled with this gel polish! The application is smooth, and the color payoff is intense. What sets it apart is the durability – my manicure looks flawless for weeks without chipping or fading. The range of vibrant shades is impressive, and the glossy finish adds a professional touch. Say goodbye to frequent salon visits – this gel polish is a DIY dream come true! Highly recommend for a long-lasting, salon-quality manicure at home." — Mandi Hanks

I've been using Nyx's Butter Gloss for almost 10 years now with no plans of stopping any time soon. It's pigmented but wearable for an everyday look, comes in so many gorgeous colors and has a smooth texture that feels nice on the lips. My go-tos are the nudey-pink shade Tiramisu or occasionally the bolder Red Velvet, but the clear Sugar Glass is the most popular and would look great on its own or over another lip color.
Promising review: "This lip gloss is my ride or die holy grail. I have almost all the colors. It's so smooth and moisturizing, lasts a long time and I love the colors!!" — HatchMama

Maybe it's Maybelline? When it comes to reviewer-beloved liquid lipsticks, it definitely is. The SuperStay Matte Ink liquid lipstick is an Amazon best seller, and one I can personally vouch for, too: I wore it to a wedding and not only did it look great in pictures, but it stayed on all day without drying out my lips. It comes in a ton of colors, from neutrals to brights. (P.S.: There's a $1.99 coupon that you can apply at checkout.)
Promising review: "At this price, this is like finding the Holy Grail of long-lasting lipwear. It's my everyday lipstick now. I have 4-5 colors and you can mix them for even more. You can get that overlined look without having to use liner or any other product, which is amazing. Just make sure you moisturize your lips at night after taking this off--it comes off easily with makeup remover or petroleum-based lip glosses, but nothing and I mean NOTHING else budges this stuff. I am already planning on buying more colors." — E. James

If you wear false eyelashes, you know the value of a good lash glue that isn't gloopy or irritating. That's what makes the Kiss strip lash adhesive such a winner among reviewers. The formula is hypoallergenic, latex- and odor-free and goes on clear and thin with the brush applicator. Reviewers also love the long-lasting adhesion, and of course, the affordable price.
Promising review: "My KISS lash glue is my holy grail. I will not use or buy any other lash glue. I am OBSESSED! It adheres so easily, it holds thru literally anything and everything, it’s cheap to buy and it doesn’t irritate the eye." — Shell Robinson
