One of the best ways to get great beauty product recommendations? Word of mouth. After all, who better to tell you if a product is good or not than someone who has used it. This is why we pay attention to Amazon's top-selling skin care products each month. So far, in March, the bestselling products include pimple patches, face moisturizer, body lotion and more — and everything has at least a 4.3-star average rating from tens of thousands of reviews.

Bestselling skin care products on Amazon in March

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original

What we like
  • Easy to apply
  • Comes with 36
Something to note
  • Visible on skin

The invisible version of these Mighty Patches from Hero Cosmetics made our list of best pimple patches. You get 36 patches in a box and they solely rely on the hydrocolloid gel to draw out any sebum or debris from your skin, making them gentle for sensitive skin. Put one on a blemish before bed and you’ll notice a sizable reduction in your zit by morning, according to the brand. These pimple patches have a 4.6-star average rating from over 171,570 reviews on Amazon.

Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL

What we like
  • Unscented
  • Easy to open packaging
Something to note
  • Single use

After you wash your face, you likely dry it on the same towel you shower with. The problem? That towel could be loaded with bacteria that you then transfer to your face. Instead, use these disposable face towels. They come in a box of 50 and can dry your face or remove makeup. The towels are unscented, soft and can be composted. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 31,840 reviews on Amazon.

eos Shea Better Body Lotion

What we like
  • Lightweight
  • Pump bottle
Something to note
  • Sweet scent not for everyone

Dermatologists have told us to be wary of highly fragranced body lotions, as they can be drying or irritating — but they made an exception for this one, which has a 4.7-star average rating from over 33,885 reviews on Amazon. It smells like vanilla and is packed with humectants, emollients and occlusives like shea butter, glycerin, cocoa seed butter and petrolatum to hydrate skin, according to the brand.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

What we like
  • Two packs in a set
  • Alcohol-free
Something to note
  • Don’t double as face wash

Makeup wipes are a handy way to take off your face at the end of the day and these from Neutrogena are very popular — they have a 4.8-star average rating from over 114,837 reviews on Amazon. This set comes with two packs of wipes, with each containing 25 wipes. The wipes are soaked with a micellar-infused formula to remove makeup without stripping skin, according to the brand.

Amazon Basics Hypoallergenic 100% Cotton Rounds

What we like
  • 100 in a pack
  • Affordable
Something to note
  • Slightly rough edges

Use these affordable cotton rounds to remove eye makeup, apply toner or even remove your nail polish. You get 100 hypoallergenic cotton rounds in a pack, which come in a resealable bag. These cotton rounds have a 4.6-star average rating from 41,383 reviews on Amazon.

BioDance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask

What we like
  • Includes four masks
  • Feels cool on skin
Something to note
  • Requires sleeping in mask

This gel mask is beloved on TikTok, with reviewers saying it leaves skin plump and glowy. It’s made of gel, so it feels cooling and calming as you wear it. The mask comes in two pieces for easier application. The mask, which has a 4.3-star average rating from over 12,990 reviews on Amazon, is soaked in a serum that contains collagen to plump and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, according to the brand.

Amazon Basics Cotton Swabs

What we like
  • Comes with 500
  • Easy to open box
Something to note
  • Nothing to note

Cotton swabs are a beauty staple used to clean up smudged liner, apply balm or gloss or clean dirty ears. This box comes with 500 double tipped swabs covered in 100% cotton. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 53,110 reviews on Amazon.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

What we like
  • Very hydrating
  • No greasiness
Something to note
  • No SPF

Another one of my beauty staples, La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer hydrates skin without making it feel greasy. It works for all skin types and contains ceramides and niacinamide to hydrate and improve your skin barrier. This moisturizer can be used morning and night and a little goes a long way. It has a 4.6-star average rating from over 64,610 reviews on Amazon.
