And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed!I've personally been using this for almost a year and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after see how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying "gimme gimme gimme!!". Promising review: "I've been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn't sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it's a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it's helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I've noticed my red spots from past acne is fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!" — Sarah Downs

And bonus! This stuff is free from parabens and provides a sulfate-free haircare system, making it super gentle on your gorgeous curls.BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal says, "My hair is the perfect combo of wavy, curly, and frizzy and this drugstore product has been a holy grail of mine for some time. I've found that it's the only formula that will give me soft, naturally curly waves come the a.m. and since I'm generally a nighttime hair washer, I have the perfect excuse to avoid blasting my hair with heat. Before hitting the pillow, I like to run my fingers through my towel-dried hair with a pea-sized amount of this, flip my mane over, and then give the ends a good scrunch. In the morn, my hair appears shiny with defined, wavy curls — we're not talking HD — but they have a nice, soft definition to them that doesn't require much styling."Promising review: "Absolutely love this stuff! It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners but have never found anything to put on damp hair that I like as much as this. It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair too. I have had super straight to very curly over the years and have loved this on all hair styles." — Bunco Queen of the Universe

To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!). But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin.Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin.Promising reviews: "After years of trying different products on my sensitive, acne-prone, red, rough skin, I saw this mask and all of the positive reviews and thought 'what the hell, I'll give it a go.' Even after the first application, I was really impressed with the results. My rough skin is smoother, I have no additional breakouts and when I do wear makeup it actually blends into my skin. It also helps the deep wrinkles on my neck. I even got a compliment on my skin the other day — this NEVER happens. I use the mask twice per week. I'm on month two and I recommend it to anyone with problem skin. My only caution is that is smells kind of funky (who cares) and it's a little hard to remove. I only apply the mask when I'm going to shower and wash my hair. It's zombie life for me here on out!" — Charlie B

Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can't beat this price for the results either." — Ashley Steigerwald

Promising review: "I bought this in January because of TikTok reviews. I tried to be consistent with this 1–2 times a day for a little over two months now, and I've seen a huge difference. My eyelashes are noticeably longer and I wear way way less mascara. I usually give up on things like this when I don't see results instantly, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It takes a couple of months, but I definitely will keep using this serum." — Julie

Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Practically NO effort required. You can use one dose for fine- to medium-textured hair, two to three doses for thick- to curly-textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair.Promising reviews: "I don't usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle a lot with breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn't take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" — Theressa Hailey

I've tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" — Danielle

But just remember, scars and stretch marks are totally normal!Promising review: "This is by far the BEST skincare I have found. I have sun-damaged skin and it has helped more than anything I have used. If used as directed it will not only fade scars, it will also fade spots. I use this twice daily and have been using for probably a year now and see a remarkable difference in my skin's appearance. I use instead of lotion, as it absorbs really well." — Amazon Customer

If my hair starts to look brassy I use this and voila — looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that too!

Promising review: "I've been using this product daily for about three months and my dark undereyes look 10x better. I've used a lot of different products on Amazon that are supposed to help with dark circles, but never had much luck in seeing a difference. However, since using this cream, it's been a game changer. I apply it at night before bed, which seem to help with puffiness when I wake up the next morning. I'm by no means a dermatologist, but I feel like this is the best product for me as a 25-year-old man. It's a small tube, but it lasts a long time. For the price point and the results I've gotten, you can't go wrong!" — Neko

For persistent or bigger pimples, leave a pimple patch on overnight for two to three days to allow the pimple to diminish completely.Promising review: "I've suffered from full coverage acne since I was 8 or 9 years old (I know. A freakishly young age to start.). I've use every product known to man. Proactive, Neutrogena, Clearasil, medication from dermatologists...the list goes on, and I'm sure most people have experienced the same. BUT THESE WORK. HOLY SHT THESE WORK. They suck everything out in ONE GOSH DARN NIGHT. I buy a whole bunch at a time and go through probably five packets a month and I've never been happier, and I've never had such clear skin. All you have to do is wash your face and stick the dots on before bed. I stick them wherever I see the red starting, feel that 'oh it's a big one' pain under my skin, or where whiteheads have already started." — Danielle

It's safe to use on color-treated, chemically processed, and gray hair!Promising review: "Best dandruff shampoo I've ever tried. I've had dandruff my whole life, and recently it got much worse and turned into what was pretty much scalp psoriasis. I have tried MANY products and treatments over the past year and nothing has come close to this shampoo. I haven't had ANY dandruff since I started using it, it took care of my psoriasis as well. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with bad dandruff." — Alicia Eddy

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I started using one of these a few months ago and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they're right and I now swear by it. It's perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don't hesitate." — Z

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I've used whitening strips before but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market but this one was super easy and didn't hurt my teeth at all and didn't taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother's wedding and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" — Victoria Bravo

It comes with a precision cover to help you shape your brows to the exact shape you want. Or leave them just how they are. Remember, removing facial hair (or any hair) is optional, not necessary!Promising review: "Plucking the more egregious of my thick black hairs is at least a 2–3x/week effort. I opened these rather hesitantly — I mean, they are sharp blades going on your face — took a sip of Prosecco for courage, washed my face and started shaving. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. First complete face shave (full cheeks, upper lip, lower lip, jawline) over and done with in less than three minutes with outstanding results. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." — Tara D.

Promising review: "Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went wild trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless-steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" — jordanb

This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." — Zac

It is recommended that you use it on your hair right after the shower, but reviewers say it looks good when you use it on either wet or dry hair when you want to skip the styling process!Promising review: "I found this product through a Buzzfeed article for those with frizzy hair and THIS PRODUCT DID NOT DISAPPOINT PEOPLE! I put this serum through the ringer — I got this to stand up to Bay Area fog AND the nasty, humid heat wave we got a couple weeks ago. No frizz, no extra curls. Nothing! On top of that, it made my hair super glossy. I'm very impressed. Heads up though, a little goes a long way. One pump is enough to cover my hair and I have medium length hair. I do have oily hair so working on my ends first then working to my roots works for me." — Jazmine Carbajal

Thank God It's Natural is a Black woman-owned small business based in Chicago and led by a team that is 96% women.Promising review: "I'm still trying this out, but so far... this product is AMAZING!!! I love it so much!! I have 4a/b dense low porosity hair. My hair also dries out FAST, and ends up looking dull, lifeless, and even stiff 😩. The moment I used this product, (fresh out of the shower when the hair is kinda dewy) this stuff gave my hair LIFE baby! It was curly and bouncy, and I had to keep checking the mirror to see WHOSE HAIR IS THIS?! She had moisture and wasn't drying out.🧐 The smell is nice without smelling perfume-y and it has a nice consistency that makes you feel like you're getting your money's worth. These curls came out of time out and got themselves together! I love to see natural products be this good!" — Luv2shop

I have nails now and I don't bite anymore; that's all I wanted. This product made that happen. It tastes SO bad, I never realized how much I subconsciously put my hands in my mouth until I used this. However, I figured I should warn you/give you guys a heads up, be prepared to taste this on ANY AND ALL foods you have to eat with your hands. To me, that was a small sacrifice I was DEFINITELY willing to make to get my nails to this point. I don't even need to use it anymore because now I'm more aware of my nails. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this product." — Kelsey Walton

It says to use 1–2 times a week but I use it usually every other day, and I use CeraVe rough and bumpy lotion after and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life changing and I would recommend to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" — Sidney

The razor has two edges, a fine tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!) Promising review: "I recently got a pixie haircut, I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on YouTube and found some videos using the tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it, fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time, remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut. Seven months post pixie haircut and I have only been to the salon once to have a re-shaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" — brandi in louisiana

So imagine my surprise when this actually works really well! I used it dry out of curiosity since it says wet or dry, and honestly I feel like it works even better dry than wet. I can't believe how much better my feet look! Sooooo gross to use (it's basically Mount Everest in foot skin), yet such a satisfying result! My only sad thing is now it hurts to walk on gravel barefoot. Worth it!!" — Eliza

Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working HandsCream and within two and a half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." — T.H.

36 Personal Care Products Reviewers Call "Life Changing"
A top-rated, alcohol-free oral rinse that reviewers swear does a much better job at keeping their breath fresh compared to all the other brands out there. It fights bad breath for up to 12 hours, and you know what that means?! You can give your partner a good morning kiss with confidence! And a stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue. It'll help remove that weird taste from your mouth and odor-causing bacteria, so the next time someone offers you a stick of gum, you'll know it's NOT because you have bad breath. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. And a stainless-steel skin spatula to gently scrape all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! A bestselling (and surprisingly inexpensive) argan oil hair mask because your locks deserve to look shinier and feel healthier. It'll revive and strengthen your weak, damaged hair — a "miracle in a jar," according to a reviewer who saw incredible results after just one use! A value-size bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that might be your savior if you've noticed your hair thinning. The keratin, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and — of course — biotin formula helps nourish your scalp so your locks can grow in thicker than ever. And some Sevích hairline shadow if you have graying roots or thinning hair and want to cover 'em up a little. It makes your hair appear thicker so it'll look ~au naturel~. Plus, the puff applicator lets you target specific areas more easily and accurately than a spray. Bacteria-killing retainer-cleaning tablets because no amount of brushing can get rid of the odors or discoloration caused by years of buildup. Just drop your retainer, mouthguards, or Invisalign trays into a warm glass of water along with one of these tablets, and all those smells and gunk? GONE. The Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a cult-favorite for good reason: It soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness, and it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! Don't worry, no snails were harmed in its making (so Gary, you're safe). Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream that can help renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, this calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong. And a nail renewal formula so you can treat that poor, discolored toe that you stubbed on the side of your bed (but obviously it was the bed's fault, duh, not yours). You'll start to see reduced discoloration and improved texture in as little as two days — don't believe me? Then trust these reviewers! A Dripstick, an absorbent post-sex sponge for your hoo-ha if you deal with leaking fluids after you've done the deed. Just insert after y'all are ~done~, let it absorb everything, and toss it out. Cleanup on aisle, um, you? A bestselling pack of Mighty Patches so you can tackle that pesky pimple head-on. These discreet patches help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them while the hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside — so they can actually heal faster! They're great for daytime or overnight use. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches because the grime and excess oil in your nose are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. An O'Keeffe's Lip Repair sleeping mask, brought to you by the same company behind the magical Working Hands cream — let me just say, this also works wonders. If your lips are extremely dry or cracked, just leave this deep-conditioning balm on overnight and wake up to a gorgeous, luscious pout. Some nail concealer, perfect if you don't want a full-on mani but want to cover your yellowing or stained nails. It gives a sheer coat of color, leaving them with an illuminating glow. A bottle of eye drops if you only got four hours of sleep, are batting allergies, or partook in and you need those red eyes to clear up ASAP. Plus, these results can last for up to eight hours! An aluminum-free all-over deodorant that you can seriously use all over, from your pits to your bikini area to anywhere else that needs a pH-balanced refresh. With its subtle Tahitian vanilla and coconut scent, you're going to smell phenomenal. CeraVe's skin-renewing night cream with a ceramide and hyaluronic acid formula that'll help restore and maintain your skin's natural barrier AND lock in moisture. Just let it work its magic while you doze — when you look in the mirror the next morning, you're going to be like, 🎶 "Who is that girl I see (with brightened and smooth skin)?" 🎶 A Squatty Potty so you can take a 💩 with ease instead of straining your entire body. Squatting is the natural way our bodies were built to poop, so with this, you may even be able to ~go~ in record time — so fast that your kid won't even get a chance to bang on the door and yell, "ARE YOU DONE YET?!" A popular anti-dandruff shampoo to help get rid of those stubborn flakes that refuse to leave your scalp. The antifungal formula helps eliminate the very *source* of dandruff (begone 🤺) so you won't have to deal with the flaking and itching anymore! An ear-washing bottle if you're tired of screaming "HUH?!" every time someone asks you a simple question. This will easily and comfortably remove all that wax buildup — hopefully, you'll get results as satisfying (or shocking) as the reviewer pic below! Or an earwax removal kit because cotton swabs simply don't work to get all that gunk out. Spray your ear with this to soften and loosen your earwax for easy cleaning, so you'll be able to hear everything loud and clear. A 100-pack of blotting papers perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. One sheet is enough for your entire face and will soak up any excess oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh without messing up your makeup! A set of YogaToes gem-shaped toe stretchers — you're probably thinking, "What the heck are those?!" These little beauties are designed to help with bunion, hammer toe, or plantar fasciitis pain. An antibacterial butt acne-clearing lotion that'll not only help clear your butt-ne but also prevent future breakouts with its tea tree oil formula. So if you get swamp 🍑, you can sit down without worrying about bum acne. A Megababe anti-chafing balm if you think that summer is the WORST because the heat means wearing shorts and skirts, which leads to thigh rubbing and chafing. This magical stick is packed with aloe, pomegranate, and raw grapeseed oil to moisturize and protect your skin from painful rubbing. A super powerful massage gun because leg day is just not it and your hammies and glutes are in agony. Or maybe you've been sitting at your desk and staring at your laptop for way too long, and your shoulders are as tight as ever. Lucky for your muscles, this massager will get out all those knots and aches with its five speeds and five different massage heads. A foot file to scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel so you can soften the hard skin to easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice stone or rasp to scrub away. 🧽 AND! A Dermora foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the mask on for about an hour, and within 6–11 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right? A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads because your warts are now affecting your day-to-day and you need to get rid of them ASAP. These pads have extra cushioning so you won't feel any discomfort, and reviewers love how fast it works! A dermatologist-recommended antiperspirant hand lotion if your hands constantly sweat and make everyday tasks quite difficult. Just rub a pea-sized amount into your palms, and you'll be able to open jars and shake hands once again! A Korean exfoliating mitt to buff all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Base Labs keloid minimizer that helps reduce and heal those pesky lil' (or, in some cases, big) bumps that decided to grow in with your new piercing. Tonymoly's octopus-shaped scrub stick to help remove whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips.

24 Underrated Pet Products Actually Worth Purchasing
An allergy supplement to give your pup probiotics and other nutrients that help improve their immune system, aid digestion, and even promote healthy skin and a shiny coat. If your pooch suffers from unavoidable allergies making them itchy, this could provide them with some much-needed relief. Promising review: "I never write reviews but this one deserves it. My dog was compulsively licking herself and losing her hair. I had tried several other brands before Zesty Paws and none of them helped at all. Took her to the vet and after several hundred dollars of testing they had no idea what it could be. They didn't feel allergies could be THAT bad in a dog but all bloodwork and testing came back perfect. They told me to just keep watching her and hoped as the seasons changed so would the problem if it actually was allergies. Three seasons later and nothing had changed, it was actually getting worse. Finally tried these and WOW! She's been on these for a month and her hair is coming back and she isn't licking herself at all now. The first product to actually help! As others have said it does take a few weeks for a change to be noticeable, but when that change happens you won't be disappointed. Would definitely recommend when all else has failed!! Will be keeping her on these long term." —hgbGet a pack of 90 from Amazon for $32.97 (available in lamb, peanut butter, and salmon). A length-adjustable broom for pet hair that might end up replacing your vacuum (just kidding, you'll still want to vacuum because of dirt, dust, and surface pet hair), but its rubber bristles will remove all the embedded pet hair your vacuum misses. Just look at those pet-sized piles of hair in the photos! 😭 Promising review: "Nothing else would take pet hair off of my outdoor porch furniture cushions. This broom took it all off easily. One of the best brooms I have ever had for pet hair removal on floors and furniture." —Kelli ThompsonGet it from Amazon for $ out our FURemover broom review for more satisfying before and after photos! A simple stuffed duck because reviewers swear this plush dog toy holds up to even the fiercest of puppy teeth. So much so that your pup may even go from tough love to building a fur-ever friendship with it. If you need even more convincing, here's a review by BuzzFeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan on why the Multipet yellow duck toy is the best $8 she's ever spent (plus, cute photos of her pup!)Promising review: "My dog Hazel LOVES this duck! She has had it for nine months now, and it's still intact! It somehow made it through her teething as a puppy. She rips and tears apart all of her toys, but this one still looks decent!" —Emily AnnGet it from Amazon for $5.39. A bestselling stain and odor eliminator that's created with an enzymatic formula, so it goes beyond erasing the dirt of the stain to *literally* eating up the smell-causing compounds, too. If you have a pet or child and have to deal bodily messes (read: blood, vomit, urine, etc.), an enzyme cleaner like this one is the best choice to banish them — preserving your carpet, furniture, and upholstery, so you don't have to replace it completely. Basically, this will be your new secret weapon. A cardboard box with refill scratch pads for any cat whose favorite hobby is tearing up furniture and bodies with their claws — this simple form of entertainment will keep them busy and satisfied, and both of you will be oh, so grateful for it. An automatic pet feeder, so you can leave the house, participate in a meeting, or actually sleep until your alarm goes off because it'll feed your pet for you at a specific time. No more huffing or howling because it's dinner time and you can't look away from Big Brother for a single second. You can store up to 12 meals in this feeder depending on portion size (1/8 to 4 cups). Promising reviews: "This is the best, most reliable feeder I have tried. Worth every penny for the peace of mind knowing that if you are running late (or want to sleep in on the weekend), the cats will be fed and content." —Karen Demont"Our cat is fat. Her life is pretty much driven by food and the only way we've been able to keep her at a moderately sustainable weight is by giving her healthy food she hates and this pet feeder. Every time we come back from a trip, there are a few more claw and bite marks on it, but it holds strong. She's even tried to sit on it, but it's done nothing more than presumably horrify it a little. I would recommend this for anyone who has a cat who is consumed with eating and getting food. Her persistence has defeated every other one we have tried. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is absolutely worth it." —BMoneyGet it from Amazon for $94.95. The ChomChom — it's a reusable pet hair remover that you simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then all you have to do is remove and throw all that hair away. Over 140,000 reviewers have rated it 5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your family happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review: "This thing is aahhhh-mazing! I've had several kinds of cat hair removers — adhesive strips, sticky rollers, rubber nubby gloves. Nothing else works as well and as quickly. Easy to clean out, too. I bought one handheld and a bigger one on a long handle for carpet and area rugs. Love them! They even clean the hair off the stupid red velvet drapes that came with the house when we bought it." —M. BauerGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). A cozy window cat hammock, so your feline king can survey the lands from his perch like his Egyptian ancestors before him, watching all the birds, neighborhood drama, squirrel politics, and whatever else happens on your street. Promising review: "Our cats love their new sun beds! Perfect for snoozing, spying on the neighbors, and squirrel watching! Easy to assemble, sturdy, and attractive." —26.2 MamaGet it from Amazon for $24.99. Some calming bites designed for soothing high-energy or anxious pets without having any drowsy side effects. These are perfect if you want to settle your pup before a long road trip or deter them from getting up to any late-night shenanigans while you snooze. Promising review: "Our senior dog Allie has always been anxiety ridden — she came to us from an abusive situation. In her old age, almost everything seems to make her nervous. We got a new microwave, and she is terrified of it. We give her one of these every day with her other meds, and she is so much better. I like that it is NOT a benzodiazepine and it's not sedating. She is able to enjoy life without being stoned. I didn't expect much, but it works great for us." —Shawn MurphyGet it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in four flavors). A pack of matatabi chew sticks — they make a perfect treat if your cat turns their nose up at regular catnip. This alternative is made with Silvervine for a delectable treat that also helps keep their teeth gleaming. Promising review: "I have two young Siamese mix cats who chew wires, shoes, wooden spoons. These chew sticks are perfect for them. They sniff the sticks, rub on them, and then start chewing. My two cats who are over 10 years old just rub on them but don't enjoy chewing them. If you have a very active cat who does destructive chewing, these are a great substitute." —JEM4612Get them from Amazon for $ Janes is a small business based in New Jersey that specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives (if the name didn't spoil it for you). 😸 Or a wall-mounted catnip toy featuring four all-natural flavored balls with catnip, silvervine, gall fruit, and cat sugar that will have them licking the walls instead of bouncing of of 'em! Plus, it helps improve your kitty's oral health by reducing dental plaque and bad breath as they nosh on the rotating balls! Promising review: "I have never seen my cat so happy! He really liked his flavor explorer toy! It has very good adhesion, and you can place it where you prefer, even on the floor. I think it is an excellent purchase to see my cat super happy!" —Karla VillafuerteGet it from Amazon for $9.98 (also available as singles not on the board). A ridged slow feeder bowl to help your pup eat their meals a lot slower. If they usually inhale their kibble and leave an empty bowl before you even make it out of the room, this is *definitely* a must. This bowl can also help improve their digestion, reduce bloating, and even provide a little mental stimulation as they navigate the grooves! Promising review: "We adopted a sweet three-legged 50-pound Dutch shepherd from the Humane Society recently. Her former two homes were bad, and she had to fight for her food. Because of this, she has food aggression and inhales her food in a regular bowl. A friend recommended this bowl to us and it is FAB-U-LOUS! We mix up some homemade dog food (wet) along with grain-free kibble and spread it around the bowl. Our girl takes FAR longer to eat now. I'm guessing around five to seven minutes? The bowl works best on a smooth, noncarpeted surface as it has grip on the bottom. This ensures that the bowl doesn't slide around. It is also heavy-duty, durable plastic that can go in the dishwasher (if I hand clean it, I soak in soapy water and scour with kitchen scrubber). Great product! I highly recommend this bowl for your fur baby too." —Shan the PainterGet it from Amazon for $7.39+ (available in two sizes and seven designs). A Wobble Wag Giggle ball — it boasts a battery-free noisemaker on the inside to keep your pup engaged and entertained, not to mention there are six pockets so they can easily grab and hold it with their mouth! Promising review: "WE FOUND IT! A play ball that can stand up to our 14-week-old part black Lab, part shark. We have tried several toys that would stand up to the extremely sharp teeth. Nothing has worked for over 15 minutes of intensive playtime. We heard about this ball from a fellow puppy owner and ordered immediately. Added bonus: She is exhausted after chasing this thing around, so nap time comes quickly." —james BennettGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles and a two-pack). A creamy paw butter for dry paws and snouts that features moisturizing and soothing ingredients including shea butter, jojoba oil, and aloe vera. Plus, it's completely safe if your furbaby licks or swallows some of it! Promising review: "I love this paw butter. For so long my Aussie had the driest, most cracked paws. I would cry and stress out because nothing worked. I tried shea butter and coconut oil but it wasn't enough so one night I ended up buying this paw butter and tried it on my dog. First off it smells amazing — so good that my Aussie licks his paws for an hour after applying the product, so I had to put regular baby socks on his paws to stop him from licking. I'm almost done with the product and my dog's paws have improved enormously. He no longer has super-dried-up, cracked paws. They are soft and pink how a dog's paws should be! I love this products. It saved my dog's paws and I use it every other day, sometimes twice a day. Lifesaver!" —Juliet BetancourtGet it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in oatmeal or coconut and two sizes). Orrrr forget balms and try out a pack of paw-cleaning tablets formulated with tea tree oil and aloe to offer relief to itchy, irritated paws. Give your pup a spa(w) day and let them enjoy a nice warm soak that will leave their paws hydrated and feeling so much better! Promising review: "This worked great! I have an itchy Boston, so itchy it was said that it would probably be better to put him down by a vet. Defective dog or not, this was not going to happen. Many weeks of trying to figure out what was causing his itches, CHICKEN! Took that out of his diet and no more itches! Wow, rocket science, right. Nonetheless, left my Boston with the in-laws for two days and came back to a flared-out, itchy dog. He didn't sleep, I didn't sleep. He was digging at his paws so bad they were swollen. I looked on Amazon and saw this item, tried it, and within an hour of the five-minute paw soak, no more itch!" —geniphreGet 12 tablets from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a pack of 30, 75, or 300). An automatic water fountain to help your cat stay hydrated since some cats simply hate drinking still water (apparently, it's a defense mechanism), so running water might just be the solution! Promising review: "Cats aren't prone to drinking enough water, and they also abhor getting their whiskers wet. This fountain, recommended by a friend, was a huge hit from the moment I set it up and solved both of those problems. My kitty now guzzles water any time she wishes, which is definitely more than before (and yay, I don't have to turn the sink on for her now, which was the only way she'd drink water). This is fantastic!" —HermitGet it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two styles). A wood polish for when you need to cover up those scratches on your wood floor or doors from your pet's nails. My pup likes to "dig" before settling down, so this is definitely going in my cart. Promising review: "I honestly can't believe how well this stuff works. Like magic it restored pet claw- AND pet water bowl-damaged wood all over my house. I am amazed at the results. Thank you!" —Nicole ThomasGet it from Amazon for $11.48. Earth Rated's grooming wipes if you've got a pup with a fluffy butt that gets seriously nasty on a 💩 walk. Instead of using rough paper towels on your pooch's most sensitive area, these plant-based, odor-controlling wipes are perfect for keeping your pup clean without having to give them a bath. A fruit tart pet bed because your furry friend deserves an ultra-comfy and adorable place to snooze, so you can take hundreds of photos of them sleeping. Plus, the pieces of fruit are removable cushions — if your pet isn't Instagram or TikTok famous yet, this bed will rake in the likes! Check out my colleague's review of the fruit tart bed for more deets and some seriously cute photos of her cats enjoying review: "This bed is adorable! I saw a lot of the reviews that stated that it was a bit small, so I went with the larger size option, which I would say is plenty big enough for an average-size cat. My cats are both relatively small and can fit inside with room to spare, and they love it! The fruit bits are very cute too. I've only had this for about two days, and I've already found the strawberry batted halfway across the house. It seems the cats like fruit toys just as much as the crust pillow! Honestly, I've been eyeing this bed since before I even decided to adopt another cat, and it's definitely living up to my expectations! Can definitely recommend." —TaylorGet it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available in a bread design). An easy-to-use dental powder packed with probiotics and nutrients to support gum health, that you just sprinkle in your pet's food to help protect their teeth from plaque and eliminate foul breath. Promising review: "My smaller dog unfortunately has pretty bad breath (not your typical dog breath, much worse). Brushing her teeth regularly helps somewhat alleviate the problem, as do dental foams and rinses, but nothing has worked as noticeably as this powder. She has no issues eating it (although, she'd eat anything) and it lasts a while considering that she only goes through one teaspoon a day. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if nothing else is working and medical reasons have been ruled out." —DGGet it from Amazon for $23. A food tracker in case your feline companion has become a mastermind at conning you and your housemates out of a second lunch and third dinner. Your cat may get a little grumpy with the results, but no more overfeeding on our watch! There's also a "Did you feed the dog?" option in black and a medication tracker version for dogs. Promising reviews: "If your cats are manipulative little jerks like mine, you need this in your life. No more will they trick members of your household into giving them second breakfast!" —Stephanie"My husband and I usually work opposite shifts and slowly came to the realization that the cats were getting double fed during the day. This keeps us both updated on the feeding schedule!" —VanessaGet it from Amazon for $9.61. An under-$5 interactive flier cat toy if your cat is shockingly high-energy and they need somewhere to put it, or else they'll transform into the predator lurking within. It might only be a few paper rolls bouncing at the end of a 30-inch steel wire, but you can literally sit on the couch holding it in one hand while scrolling your phone with the other, and your feline friend will still have an absolute BLAST. Promising review: "Simply the best cat toy you can buy. My cats go wild as soon as I pull this out. Nothing else gets them up and moving like this toy now that they're getting older. Seems silly that they love a simple wire with a cardboard tip, but there's something about it that's irresistible. Buy it. Your cats will love it." —A customerrrGet it from Amazon for $3.99. A set of stainless-steel elevated pet bowls just perfect for your spoiled four-legged housemate, so they can enjoy their meals without straining their neck or having their whiskers overstimulated thanks to the wide, deep design. Promising review: "I have always had a problem with my one cat vomiting undigested food. My vet told me she was probably eating too fast. I stumbled upon an ad on Facebook stating the bowl position was the reason for cats vomiting; bowls resting on the floor put their neck at an odd angle and can cause acid reflux. I've used them for about two weeks and my cat has not vomited once! It was almost a daily occurrence prior to purchasing these! I did have to rest their old bowls inside these to get them to eat. But after a few days I could put the food directly into these bowls and they did not complain." —kindlefire09-8Get it from Amazon for $23.99. A set of recordable answer buzzers in case you want to train your pet to "talk" to you like the snarky cats and dogs on TikTok. You can record your voice and set up any phrases or responses, so you can actually *know* when your pup needs to go out and do their business or if they're just trying to sunbathe! Promising review: "We're using these to give my dog a voice. I've recorded 'potty outside,' 'water please,' and 'treat' into these buttons and put them around the house for her to use. Now when she needs to use the restroom she says 'potty outside.' When she comes back in, she goes straight to 'treat' and asks for her reward. When her bowl is empty she lets me know by pushing 'water, please.' She is a 9-pound Chihuahua with arthritis in her front paw and has no problems pushing the buttons down to make them speak. Great purchase. I want to buy more and add more phrases. (Phrases like 'play,' 'car ride,' 'bedtime,' and 'cuddles!') I am 100% happy!" —Tye RannosaurusGet it from Amazon for $22.20.

Get the Samsung Galaxy Ring for $100 off
Smartwatches get all the attention, but smart rings are a great alternative if you're looking for a more subtle way to track your health and fitness metrics. While there are plenty to choose from, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is going to be a top choice for Android and Samsung device owners, especially since you won't need to pay any additional monthly fees to use it. And right now, you can score the ring for $100 below its retail price as Samsung, Best Buy, and Amazon all have it on sale. Ditch the bulky watch and get this instead While it's been a year since the release of the Galaxy Ring, it's still a very capable wearable. You get a simple yet pleasing design, with lots of different colors, and excellent health tracking features. The battery is also quite good, lasting a full week, and it even comes with a case that can recharge the ring when you can't plug in. Now, since the ring doesn't have a screen, you'll need to install the Samsung Health app in order to get all the details. This is where you'll be able to see the details of your day, from health rate tracking, blood oxygen levels, sleep tracking, and more. Perhaps the only area where the watch falls short is that it can only track a small number of activities. This isn't going to be a problem for most people, but if you're looking for something a bit more aggressive on the fitness side, you'll have to look elsewhere. Perhaps the best part about all of this is that you won't need any kind of membership in order to access all the data like some of the competition. Overall, it's a fantastic smart ring to own, and especially now that it's $100 less. It can do pretty much everything a smartwatch does but offers it in a much smaller package. It's easy to wear and is durable enough to handle most of the things you throw at it. Plus, this is one of the best discounts we've seen, making it a great time to buy.
