Rich in hyaluronic acid, a compound that can hold up to 1,000 its weight in water, this hydrating face cream moisturizes, plumps, and softens skin. It works just as well as any fancy moisturizer you'd splurge $60 on, but for a fraction of the price — and it comes in a huge bottle that fans say "will last about a year."

8

A Natural Korean Eye Cream That Reviewers Have Called "The Best Product Ever"

Even though they come in the smallest jars, eye creams are typically among the priciest beauty products you can buy. But this one from Innisfree works just as well as its more expensive counterparts, and is gentle enough to use on eyes that are prone to burning and watering.
