Look, some things are trendy for a reason: they work.
1. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil to give your skin a powerful dose of hydration. It'll also wake up and temporarily tighten your skin with the same stuff you use to become awake and alert for the day...caffeine! That's right, our skin enjoys the stuff as much as the rest of us. This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious.
You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie Hooper
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
2. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — whether you've noticed your neck skin practically hanging on for dear life thanks to that darn gravitational pull or find your décolletage creased in the center from side sleeping, the glycerin and aloe in this formula can give that delicate skin some much-needed hydration, while the salicylic acid can gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Reviewers say patience is worth it with this one, so give your body time to soak it all in and enjoy those results!
Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta
Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (also available in a two-pack).
3. Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin. If you're revitalizing your skincare routine, add this to the mix and reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. ~Eye~ love to see it.
Promising review:"What sorcery is this??? Listen I'm 48, and I've bought a lot of face cream 'stuff' over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." — Michelle Petrosh
Get it from Amazon for $14.44.
4. A paraben-free self-tanner with a mousse texture so you can apply the product evenly (unlike thicker lotions that leave distinct lines behind).
This product is reviewer-adored and very impressive, but you can also enjoy that porcelain pale skin all you want! I'm the palest person at the beach all summer long and I'm happy as a clam.
Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Review Writer
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in various shades/styles).
5. A retinol body lotion — sure, retinol is great for your face, but there's a whole *body* of skin it can help out! This particularly dreamy, creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover using retinol, while the ferulic acid firms skin to promote natural skin tightening.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (also available in two-pack).
6. Lumify Eye Drops, because having irritated red eyes is one of those frustrating conditions that is always awkward to explain away. No, I wasn't crying. My eyes are just...like that. This redness-reducing eye drop uses brimonidine tartrate to whiten your eyes for up to eight hours. (And the review photos are suuuper satisfying — with over 27,000 reviewers shouting "5 stars!")
www.amazon.com
Be sure to talk to your doctor, because symptoms like redness and irritation in the eyes could be a symptom that should be cleared up with your doctor before being cleared up by eye drops! Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Get it from Amazon for $11.95
7. The Face Shop's facial foaming cleanser formulated with rice water to help brighten, cleanse, moisturize, and remove your makeup all at once. If you like the idea of having *one* skincare product that does it all...this belongs in your bathroom.
Promising review:"I have struggled with acne my entire life. I've gone to dermatologists, tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, tazarotene, and nothing ever even reduced it. I struggled with a very basic form of acne on my forehead, and sometimes my chin and I have sensitive skin, so I decided to try something new. I thought I'd have to wait at least a month to see results, but within four days, everything started to disappear. All of my major acne has completely gone away. I only see little tiny spots here and there, but they go away within a day. Nothing like what I used to get. I'm going to start using it on my back to see if it helps there too. 10/10 the best face wash I have ever encountered in my life." — Jaiden
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A MySmile teeth whitening kit — an enamel-safe system designed specifically for sensitive teeth that claims to brighten your smile up to 10 shades with consistent use. Go ahead, get dentist-worthy white teeth at a fraction of the cost. I dare you. P.S. The kit uses carbamide peroxide gel and a waterproof LED light to brighten your smile in zippy quick 10-minute sessions. Save *so much* time and money by doing this at home!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It worked on myself and wife to brighten both our teeth!!! I was hesitant as a lot of the products out there do not seem to work as advertised but this one definitely does and is reasonably priced! If you are on the fence about it ,like I was, I highly recommend it =). One very happy costumer and most likely returning!!" — Kyle Books
Get it from Amazon for $38.95.
9. A bottle of Bio-Oil, beloved by many a skin-having human, made with a powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins that'll aid in fadin' scars you'd rather have bippity-boppity- boop off your body.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I am a 70-year-old woman with all the skin issues those years bring: fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, and dry patches. This oil is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and has a fairly pleasant smell, although a bit flowery. The main thing is it works. I could tell a difference in my skin the first week of use. My skin is hydrated and glowing, and the overall tone has improved considerably. Believe me when I say I have used a lot of serums, oils, and moisturizers over the years. I wish I had found this oil years ago." — Connie J
Get it from Amazon for $11.12.
10. A root touchup powder great for folks with fine hair who would like the appearance of a fuller hairline *and* for anyone who wants to take longer breaks between coloring appointments. This includes a sponge for applying the powder — just rub it directly onto your hair. I learned about this product when looking for solutions for postpartum hair loss and was awed that this had over 18,000 5-star reviews. Sold.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review:"LOVE! So easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly." — Catie B.
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors).
11. A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined. Hit the snooze button and save time in the mornings with this brush by your side.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review:"TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It's just an amazing brush!" — mariela
Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in six colors).
12. A hyaluronic acid serum — this can save your dry skin thanks to its *intense* hydrating properties that improve a dry complexion's softness, smoothness, and ability to retain moisture. I feel soothed just thinking about it.
www.instagram.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've used several different kinds of serums for my face and this is my favorite so far. I use it right after my bath when my pores are open from the hot water and then apply my moisturizer right on top of it. My face normally gets very dry in the winter, but since I began using this serum it has been a lot better. It seemed like such a tiny bottle when I got it, but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I've been using it for several months now and still have half a bottle left." — Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in different sizes/styles).
13. Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment to help you embrace color theory with confidence. Take it from someone with skin the color of printer paper — nothing helps reduce redness better than a touch of green! This lightly tinted cream is designed to combat that blotchy redness while protecting your skin from the sun with a useful daily SPF 50.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: " I have a really uneven skin tone, which is always accentuated in the morning. I don't like putting makeup on when I wake up, and after seeing this on TikTok (I know I'm not alone in that), I bought it to see if it works, and OMG, it's amazing. A little goes a long way, I put on sunscreen and dab this on my face and like magic, my skin looks even… even lessening [my] puffy under-eye! I never write reviews but I had to for this. It will forever be a part of my daily routine!" — Sara R.
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes).
14. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll absorb excess oil on your face as you swipe it away *without* ruining your makeup. Oil blotting sheets WISH they were this sexy. Keep your makeup looking great all day with this OG TikTok beauty sensation.
To clean, you'll just pop out the stone roller and give it a quick hand wash under the sink. Once it's dry, it's ready to use for the next day!
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
15. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hydraulic acid and shea butter) which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en mass about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require sleep...you've come to the right brightener.
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of the four shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
16. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil with the most impressive review photos I've seen in my little life! Reviewers swear up and down over how well this erases blackheads and sebaceous filaments. Use this as the first step of your cleansing routine, and then just rinse with water. Watch your blackheads disappear so quickly that they won't even have a chance to say goodbye. Aww, sad.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
As with all skincare products, if you're acne-prone YMMV, depending on the cause of your acne.
Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; It's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! It also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE IIIIT - WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT!!" — Sarah Coleman
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
17. A set of collagen-infused forehead patches for folks looking to improve their skin's elasticity with a *chef's kiss* hydrating formula. The mix of aloe, collagen, and vitamin E is a true treat for sun-damaged, dry, and aging skin. Whether you throw these on before bed and let your skin soak up that silky goodness for a full eight hours or simply have an hour to spare in the a.m. — these are designed for great results on your schedule.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These patches work great, I could see the difference just after a few uses. They stick really well and stay on all night. They feel cool and soothing, and I love how easy they are to use. Highly recommend!" — M. Brinson
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three styles).
18. An E.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush — a blendable and buildable blush (say that five times fast) with a lightweight formula and a powerful pigment. If you've worked hard on your glass skin technique, finish off your routine with a blush that's dewy and glossy to stay looking as smooth as glass.
Promising review: "This stuff is no joke. I like to use one product for my full face for a quick makeup routine, as eyeshadow, blush, and highlight all at once. When I tell you I need exactly two dots for my whole face, I couldn't be more serious! It has a different, more glossy texture than a Rare Beauty blush, but the pigment is much stronger. Comes off very dewy and kind of glossy but can be made matte with powder. The only thing I will say is that if you overwork it, there can be small lifted spots, which happened to me when I first tried it because I used too much and then had to try to blend so much. Already purchased another color. Love E.l.f. makeup!" — oscar Julian zapotitla
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 12 shades).
19. A brilliant biotin shampoo (with over 34,000 5-star reviews!!) so you can enjoy the feeling of fuller hair and a nourished scalp. This is sulfate-free and won't give your hair greasy, heavy buildup *but* the biotin can strengthen your strands. The one-two punch of this particular shampoo comes from the added rosemary and coconut oil — which both stimulate and moisturize the scalp aiding in overall hair health.
www.amazon.com
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff
20. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that'll be beloved by people who drink up yerba mate like it's water from the actual fountain of youth. And that's not the only powerful ingredient this gel has to offer! It also boasts three unique forms of hyaluronic acid to moisturize and revitalize the skin under your eyes. There are no dark circles here, my dear!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith
"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
21. An eye primer with an easy-as-pie application process, just use your ring finger to apply a pea-sized amount of the product onto clean, dry eyelids. After 30 seconds, it should be dry and ready for your makeup! This stuff is heaven-sent for anyone who spends way too much time on their smokey eye to have it sweat off the minute they hit the dance floor.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"How did I not know this existed before?? This stuff is truly a miracle for people like me with smaller, deep-set eyelids. No more am I constantly rubbing above my eyes. I couldn't believe the first day I wore it that after work at 5 p.m. my eye makeup looked exactly the same as it did at 6 a.m. I use just the slightest amount, and it withstands long, hot Florida days. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and wish I had known of it sooner!" — TP
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. Maybelline's Fit Me Matte foundation — this liquid, oil-free foundation is sure to satisfy folks with oily skin as it covers pores and creates a smooth base *without* irritating your skin. BTW, this product is available in a whopping 35 SHADES, so it's got your face covered. Literally.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love this foundation. This is the first foundation I have tried that has matched my skin so closely. It gives me medium to light coverage, which I personally love since I like wearing this during the summertime. I have acne scars that I really don't love, but this product provided coverage over them. Also, what tops it all is that this foundation is matte! I have very oily skin, so this thing is my holy grail. It goes on and blends flawlessly. I bought another bottle just because I love it so much!" — Simpleebekah
Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in 35 colors).
23. A 10% niacinamide serum for folks who fill their medicine cabinet with the very best K-beauty has to offer. This includes 4% tranexamic acid and 2% arbutin for super smooth skin. With consistent use, you'll notice your skin looking smooth and dewey. And if you, like me, prefer fragrance-free — this non-sticky and non-scented formula is for you!
www.amazon.com
BTW, it's also cruelty-free!
Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops, but they haven't worked as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day, and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves a dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — 아미
Get it from Amazon for $22.
24. A vegan ingrown hair oil sure to save the day (and your bikini line) if shaving on sensitive parts of your body leads to inflammation and breakouts that are more bothersome than the hair was. Not only does it address that inflammation, but the spiffy mix of jojoba and grapeseed oil moisturizes and softens your skin to keep it nourished.
25. A Butt Acne Treatment Cream is gonna be a great addition to the (rear) end of your beauty routine. This is designed for all skin types with a clean tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts, get rid of bacteria, and clear up folliculitis.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
26. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment which, like Olaplex, has repairing properties like collagen and protein extracts to aid in hair health. Apply this after you shampoo, let it sit for 5 minutes (where you can race through a shave or a song in the shower — you do you), and then rinse it out. Stronger hair care, here we come!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M.
Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets!
Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60.
27. Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask so you can treat yourself to a rejuvenating facial while you sleep. The mix of hydrating hyaluronic acid, pore-minimizing collagen, and probiotics work together while you're resting to protect and heal your skin from the inside out. And don't worry about your pillowcase. This product is a professional. It's transfer-resistant — no mess included.
See it in action on TikTok.
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. And BTW, it becomes translucent when your skin has finished absorbing the product, which makes it easy to know when it can come off!
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19 (available in two pack sizes and three formulas).
28. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse worth getting into your haircare kit. If you want voluminous curls without a hint of frizz, then this is the mousse for you!
Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
29. A nail concealer with a brilliant blend of biotin and keratin to save your nails from yourself — years of acrylics and gel manicures were murder on your cuticles. Get yourself a nail polish that nourishes! Plus, If you like a clean, uniform look, you're sure to love the sheer hint of pink color this has.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out, and I saw this brand had a [lookalike} for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." — reviewer22
"Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." — Andi
Get it from Amazon for $5.36.
30. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter for achieving the same dewy no makeup-makeup effect of Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter (but at a price that doesn't make you sweat). This also has a healthy dose of hydrating hyaluronic acid your skin is gonna be glad to drink in every day.
Promising review: "If you like Charlotte Tilbury, flawless filter this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview
Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in 12 shades).
31. And E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara so you can finally have the thick, full lashes you've dreamed of, even if your flimsy natural lashes hardly hold up standard mascaras. This uses a unique "tubing" formula that boasts being smudge-free. And if you have fragile lashes? This can easily wipe clean! It's also available in *brown* which is a huge deal for folks with warm hair colors and blonde lashes, as it doesn't clash with your natural coloring (speaking for my own red-headed self here).
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
BuzzFeed Senior Writer Emma Lord has this to say: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
32. A RobeCurls heatless hair curler — this satin-covered rod is designed to curl your hair while you sleep, and it's damage-free! Skip the heat tools and just wrap damp hair around the plush curler at night. Then FALL ASLEEP, and it'll do the rest. Wake up, pull this outta your hair, and enjoy your blowout-worthy bouncy curls.
Amazon
Emikeni is a woman-founded small business that specializes in heatless hair curling tools.
Promising review: "This is a game changer! I have very fine, silky hair and using heat tools on a daily basis is causing too much damage. This product is so easy to use and requires no heat! I recommend buying a small spray bottle and fill it with water. Before bed I usually spray my hair a little bit with water, brush it out, and put the silk rod in. I wear it overnight and barely feel it. Next day I have luscious, voluminous curls!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in five colors).
33. A tattoo aftercare salve that'll make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded.
Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com
I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!
Mad Rabbit was founded by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.
Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward
Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two scents).

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.

How 9 minutes of daily HIIT may improve kids' brain function and learning, according to research

Kids' attention spans aren't exactly getting any longer. Some can't even make it to the end of a 10-second TikTok without swiping away. To be honest, I'm also guilty of this sometimes. But if you can hold their focus for nine whole minutes of exercise, scientists think they've found a little hack that could help children concentrate better in class. Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland studied how short bursts of physical activity could influence a child's ability to focus. They asked seven- to 13-year-olds to complete a simple nine-minute workout before sitting down to cognitive tests. The results? Kids who exercised performed better on tasks that required sustained attention and working memory compared to those who stayed seated. If you are a parent looking to move more and encourage your children to do the same, our guide to the best fitness trackers can help you keep track of your activity levels and stay motivated. The study found that nine minutes of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) can help children focus better and improve performance on cognitive tasks. For reference, this activity took place in a school setting before tests. The researchers suggest the boost in focus may come from the temporary increase in heart rate and blood flow, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the brain, along with the release of neurotransmitters that support alertness and cognitive function. If you are a parent and want to try using this at home to help your child focus, settle down after school, or tackle homework more easily, the principle is pretty flexible. You don't need a full PE class. Just nine minutes of fun, energetic high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) that gets your child's heart rate up could make a difference. This could be a quick dance to a favorite song or two, a short obstacle course in the living room, or a few laps around the yard. It's important to note that this research does not provide a guaranteed solution for improving focus in all children, and every child's needs and circumstances are different. The study shows a potential benefit in a classroom setting, but individual results may vary. Still, making exercise a fun and regular part of family life can support both the body and mind.

Woman's 'Silly Little Video' About Getting Rid of Her 'Gummy Smile' Sparks Interest in Laser Gum Contouring (Exclusive)

Carolina Frette's gingivectomy experience recently went viral on TikTok NEED TO KNOW Last year, Carolina Frette underwent a gingevectomy (laser gum contouring) to gain confidence in her smile Though she had her doubts at first, the procedure and recovery was quick, and Frette swiftly fell in love with her new look One of Frette's videos recently went viral on TikTok, starting a conversation about insecurity and confidence A woman underwent a small dental procedure and got a great confidence boost in return. Carolina Frette, 23, tells PEOPLE about her recent gingivectomy procedure, which altered the appearance of her teeth and helped her embrace her smile. After sharing her results on TikTok, Frette reached 1.5 million viewers and started a conversation about insecurities, aesthetics and confidence. Last year, Frette made the decision to undergo a gingivectomy, or laser gum contouring, on her eight front teeth. The choice stemmed from a lifelong insecurity, she says. "I didn't like how I looked in pictures. Every time I took a photo, I tried my hardest to lower my top lip to cover my gums as best as possible," she tells PEOPLE. "It was just something I was constantly thinking about, and I wanted to fix it." Frette traveled to Medellin, Colombia, where Dr. Gabriel Gallego conducted the procedure, which lasted about one hour and cost $75, she says. Before the surgery, she was "really scared" of how her body might react, but ultimately the healing process went smoothly. Frette didn't have to take any antibiotics, could eat almost anything and was able to continue her day as normal afterwards. "I stared at the mirror the doctor handed to me for several minutes trying to get used to my new smile and my new appearance. A lot of thoughts were going through my head: Was this the right decision? Was my smile better before? Am I overreacting?" Frette recalled. "However, as the day went on, I couldn't stop smiling. I loved my new smile, and I was glad I did it — it just took some time getting used to." Her only maintenance was a little extra brushing when her gums began to scab — the "only painful part," she tells PEOPLE. After a week, her gums had fully healed. Frette shared her results on TikTok in July, and at first, it only reached a few thousand viewers. Roughly two weeks afterwards, her video went viral — which, aside from the few hate comments, was received with positivity. Many users connected with Frette and others in the comments, discussing their own insecurities about their smiles. Others were excited to learn laser gum contouring was even an option. "I was honestly so happy that I was able to share my experience with others about my gummy smile and create what felt like a community," Frette says. "It's amazing how a silly little video can help and inspire so many others." Read the original article on People
