According to reviewers, these make for a smoother, cheaper replacement for the typical drugstore buys.

5. Braun FaceSpa Kit

9. Olay Magnemasks Infusion Rejuvenating Mask (Was $45, Now $31)

There are few things as luxurious as an overnight face mask, and this Olay mask definitely isn't one to miss out on. The brand claims that by using the magnetic infuser tool, the ingredients reach up to 10 layers deep into the skin's surface — leaving you to wake up visibly smoother, firmer, and more supple skin. "At first glance I wasn't overly impressed by the magnet," says one reviewer who was initially skeptical about the product. "But after using it a few times it has won me over — it really helps with absorbing the cream into my face and feels like a nice warm massage."
