Viral and TikTok-Approved Beauty ProductsCredit : cerave/Instagram

Once a makeup or skincare product goes viral on TikTok, you can expect that product to disappear from shelves or get sold out online in a few weeks, if not days. TikTok has been Generation Z's way of keeping up with trends, hacks, and products endorsements from their favorite influencers. Even if you don't have millions of followers, one video can get picked up and generate thousands of views and those views can translate to products sales. You can stay updated by following a popular hashtag, #tiktokmademebuyit, which has 1.3 billion views, or you can save time and check out this list of viral and TikTok-approved beauty products compiled by the New York Post and Teen Vogue.


CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser

You've probably heard of CeraVe by now. What once was a just a dermatologist favorite is now a drugstore marvel thanks to skincare influencer Hyram Yarbro. Aside from the salicylic acid facial cleanser, other CeraVe bestsellers are the Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the Moisturizing Cream. Blake Lively and Olivia Wilde are big fans.

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

The Ordinary already has a cult following thanks to their straightforward formulas and super affordable price range. However, the brand skyrocketed thanks to multiple videos that feature their unusually colored peeling solution. If you're exploring chemical exfoliation, give their AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution a go. At $7 a bottle, The Ordinary continues to prove that great skincare doesn't need to be expensive.
