20 Superior Skincare Products From Target You’ll Try Once And Never Go Back
Upgrade your routine with these A+ products.
1. A facial spray that preps the skin with hypochlorous acid, helping to calm sensitivity to daily stressors and other products. Alcohol free and hypoallergenic, this dermatologist-approved spray is exactly what you need.
Target
Promising review: “Love this hypochlorus spray, great non-irritating soothing, cleaner, good for skin, boo boos, pits n feet. The packaging is lovely on the eyes, the spray, oh the mist is soooo fine, definitely love that, the smell dissipates really fast. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.” —NYgirl
Price: $20.99
2. This pore-releasing facial treatment works like a tiny vacuum cleaner for your face — but without the noise and hassle. It’s perfect for getting rid of stubborn blackheads without stripping your skin. Infused with aloe and lotus water, it’s like a zen-like treatment for your face.
Target
Promising review: “Has worked incredibly well to clear my pores. As a tip, make sure you really moisturize afterward and hydrate throughout the day because it can be very drying. Make sure you also have a good exfoliating face wash to get dead skin and gunk off face at night. Follow instructions, do not use every day but few times a week. Can see myself using this indefinitely and eventually being able to only use this once a week for maintenance after my face fully clears.” —Emilee
Price: $19.99
3. A L’Oreal Paris dark spot serum if you’re ready to bid adieu to any nonwelcome marks. Packed with niacinamide that works to rid dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks, you’ll say hello to brighter skin in no time.
Target
Promising review: “I don’t write many reviews but decided to do one for this because it works – like really works. It takes patience, but my skin looks so much more even, and I can skip foundation. I’ve used really expensive stuff before but I’m not going back. It really works. Highly recommend.” —PickyinTexas
Price: $36.99
4. A hydrogel cream giving your skin a hydrating boost with hyaluronic acid that not only softens and firms but also refreshes and cools upon application. This water cream is like a tall glass of water for your thirsty skin!
Target
Promising review: “I have been using this product for three months now and it has helped my dry skin and rosacea. I have very sensitive skin so many moisturizers cause my skin to become inflamed but not this cream. When I apply it before bed it looks dewy on my face and feels soothing. I am puzzled that there are several reviews that have given this cream a low rating. Maybe those reviewers do not have skin that is as dry as mine. I am very happy that I have discovered another Honest product that EWG rates highly.” —CarefulShopper
Price: $24.49
5. A La Roche Posay sunscreen for all-day hydration and sun UV protection. This sunscreen performs skin microbiome ballet, keeping all skin types in tip-top shape.
6. A sleeping cream to keep your skin looking dreamy and ethereal overnight. Wake up to your face feeling as soft as a baby’s bum, as they say, thanks to this nutrient-rich formula.
Target
Promising review: “This has been my absolute holy grail. I love love love this so much. I have combination skin, it’s super dry in certain areas, then oily in others. I have also struggled with acne the past 2 years. My skin has cleared after using benzoyl peroxide and I’m left with scars. This cream hydrates my skin so much, and in addition has visibly reduced my acne scar marks. This cream does have an odd consistency but it does rub out into a cream which makes my skin look super dewy. I genuinely love this, will now be permanently a part of my routine” —Taylor
Price: $24.99
7. Some orange-scented makeup wipes to cleanse, tone, and reveal your skin’s inner radiance using ingredients like glycolic acid, coconut water, and aloe.
Target
Promising review: “I start by working some coconut oil into my face then wiping off with this wipe. It’s sturdy enough that I can rinse off the wipe and repeat as needed. I only need to do this once or twice until the wipe is completely clean with no more makeup residue on it. Smells good too!” —Dee
Price: $4.99
8. A cleanser that acts like a juice cleanse for the face. This green gel-to-foam face wash filled with fruit enzymes and hyaluronic acid gives your skin tons of hydration and delicious detox from the day’s impurities.
Target
Promising review: “This facial cleanser is very gentle on the skin, it has no fragrance to it and leaves my face feeling clean but it also doesn’t dry out my skin like some others. I can feel the dead skin coming off, leaving my face feeling nice and clean! The Best of the Benefits
• Provides both physical and chemical exfoliation, revealing glowing skin.

Target
Promising review: “This stuff is amazing!! I’ve used only “high-end” brands that are triple the price exclusively. I was out of one of my usual brands and was desperately looking for a cream for night while I was waiting for my usual to come in. This cream is fabulous. It’s so moisturizing and hydrating. Plus, it didn’t make my sensitive skin break out, and my face was SO dewy and glowing. I was so shocked. This is now my new staple and best, it’s a fraction of the cost of other brands and it makes your skin look so soft and moisturized!! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!!” —Mandy20
Price: $21.99

11. A vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid that can help whip up a brighter, firmer complexion. This serum contains potent ingredients that can help take care of dark spots and dull skin like nobody’s business.
Target
Promising review: “I have sensitive acne prone skin, this stuff is amazing at evening out my skin texture and color. It also makes my fine wrinkles just about disappear. I went to a different vitamin c product for a couple weeks and I can’t believe how much better this stuff is. Yeah, it’s runny but it works and smells nice. Love this stuff!!” —Natasha
Price: $20
12. A CeraVe retinol serum with essential ceramides and licorice root extract formula that’s as light as a feather and absorbs in a flash. Formulated with love by dermatologists, this serum can not only help improve skin texture but also help restore your skin barrier to keep your complexion looking fresh and fab.
13. An eye cream that’s kind to your eyes by easing dark circles and bags after a night spent reading until 3 a.m. This baby locks in moisture while the hygienic metal tip soothes and cools. Ditch the cucumbers and use this eye cream instead.
Target
Promising review: “Despite recently being disappointed with yet another under eye cream that didn’t work, I decided to trust the reviews here and give this a try. Let me tell you, I was absolutely stunned at how well it worked, and literally on the first try! My under eyes struggle with both really bad puffiness and dark circles that for years I’ve been trying to find something that works for both and this product does! The applicator is really great too, the product goes on smooth and doesn’t get clogged up. It doesn’t have much of a smell which I really appreciate. You won’t be disappointed!” —Vykie S
Price: $23.49
14. A Pixi toner with ginseng to energize the skin and aloe vera to soothe and refine pores for a brighter complexion. This TikTok-fav toner is beloved for leaving skin clearer and texture smoother and is suitable for all skin types.
Target
Promising review: “I see why this is a holy grail product! I slept on this for so long but now that I’ve tried it I understand where it gets the name “glow tonic” from. My skin looks baby soft, virtually poreless, plump, hydrated, and SIGNIFICANTLY brighter/ radiant complexion. It’s like dark spots I didn’t even know I had are gone. I thought my skin was already doing good before so I didn’t expect to notice much of a difference but for these results in one day you’d think I got a $100 facial, I look so much visibily healthier. Also, I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and didn’t notice any scent in it. If anything, it smells natural like a byproduct of the ingredients.” —itriedthemall
Price: $15+ (available in two sizes)
15. Florence by Mills eye gel pads so you can get ready to be on cloud nine while these pads depuff your eyes using caffeine, green tea to calm, and cactus to hydrate. They’ll have you feeling fly in no time!
Target
Promising review: “I’m very pleased! I’ve tried several brands of these under-eye depuffers, and this is the first one I’ve liked. When you put them on, they don’t slide down your face like a lot of other brands. I use them first thing in the morning, having woken up extremely tired and needing a little boost. They make me feel better in the morning, to then get my day going. Refreshing.” —pixiegirl
Price: $25.20 (originally $36)
16. Olay cleansing melts are here for whenever you’re in a rush or need to bring a non-liquid cleanser. This water-activated pad dissolves into a dense, creamy microbubble lather that cleanses, tones and refreshes skin easily. A great addition to your travel skincare lineup.

Target
Promising review: “Wow… I am speechless at how amazing this product is. I have a lip picking problem and have had chronically dry bleeding lips my entire life. I bought this on a whim, just needing a quick fix, and didn’t realize I’d just found my holy grail lip healer. My lips have never felt better in my life!! Tbh I wanna gatekeep this bc I love it so much, but I’ll be fair.” —Anon

Target
Promising review: “I have severely dry lips – I have to reapply lip gloss every 10-15 minutes. So I searched for a solution and purchased seven different products. After my testing, I discovered that THIS product, the elf holy hydration lip is THE REAL DEAL. It was far better than Vaseline, Neutrogena sleeping mask and more. I still need to reapply just not as often. I highly recommend.” —CoconutMonkey
