According to the company, one bottle of Bioderma Micellar Water is sold every 2 seconds around the world.
Despite being something most humans have a vested interest in, skincare is one mystery we haven't cracked satisfactorily. Like calorie-free pasta, we can't seem to wish universally beautiful, hydrated, blemish-free skin into existence.
In our very earnest attempts, though, we have created a whole lot of products to wade through that promise perfection. It can feel like with all the variables (your nitpicky skin and the overwhelming amount of options available) that finding a routine that works for you is, at best, up to random chance.
But recommendations from experts and friends let us cheat a little. They slim the pack and give us a truncated, smarter shopping guide. What do other people swear by? What do they spend their hard-earned money on? What diamonds are hidden in the rough of miles and miles of sterile-colored plastic bottles?
To make your skincare search more efficient, we've compiled the top 20 best-selling skincare items on Amazon (which, as you can imagine, sees a whole lot of sales - and thereby has a ton of data to draw from).
If you're interested in things that we've personally tried, we recommend the sensational $9 Aztec Clay Mask, under-the-radar but truly incredible Hydrocolloid Mighty Patches, and of course our entire team's cheap go-to skincare favorites and our justifiable splurges.
