Every once in a while, a product or tool comes along that changes your life. Here are a few that Women’s Health Magazine decided to share with us that make their AWESOME list.

Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector, $49.50 During clinical testing, this serum was shown to work as well as 4 percent hydroquinone, the leading prescription-strength skin-lightening ingredient – but without irritating the skin. The blend of vitamin C and botanical brighteners attack dark spots while glucosamine and salicylic acid sweep away dull cells to reverse the signs of aging.

Living Proof Full Thickening Cream, $24 A truly hair-raising idea: infuse a silky cream with strong, flexible beadlike polymers that fatten up individual strands and keep them from lying flat, so fine-haired ladies everywhere can create soft-lively styles.

Zeno Hot Spot, $40 Hot Spot’s bacteria-killing heat starts clearing pimples within one hour. Even cooler, the pocket-size gadget reads your skin’s unique temperature and adjusts its energy output accordingly so that the perfect amount of heat hits your mark.

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion with Stratys-3, $6.25 This lotion’s key ingredient is a newly created molecule called glycerol quat that stays on the skin’s surface, attracting and binding water to intensely moisturize, while two additional gold-standard humectants penetrate to nourish skin’s lower layers.

Unless otherwise specified, a product review is based on a product sent by a representative of the company.
