A *zero scrub* shower cleaner that delivers results is quite the definition of satisfying, IMO.
1. Wet & Forget's shower cleaner because stepping over the soap scum and grime-ridden parts of your floor should *not* be part of your everything shower routine. Instead, spray down every gross area with this, let it sit for 12 hours, and then rinse. A clean shower will appear before your very eyes!
www.amazon.com
If your shower has a lot of soap scum and gunk built up, reviewers say it may take a couple of treatments until your shower *sparkles* again.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
2. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel with caffeine to help reduce eye puffiness, yerba mate to brighten skin, and three types of hyaluronic acid to help plump and firm. One reviewer likes this *more* than The Ordinary's caffeine eye gel because it's more moisturizing!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"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
Promising review: "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.
3. A tennis shoe cleaner concentrate reviewers say works fast to make your sneakers spotless and squeaky clean. This works on leather, suede, canvas, and MORE, so you can restore the endless collection of comfy shoes you can't part ways with.
www.amazon.com
It's super easy to use — just dip the (included) brush in water, apply the cleaning solution to the shoe, then brush and wipe away!
Promising review:"I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." — Romario
Get it from Amazon for $18.97+ (available in three sizes).
4. A jar of the beloved Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that delivers IMPRESSIVE results for people wanting to smooth and tighten skin — and that's all thanks to its caffeine-rich guarana extract formula. The notes of salted caramel, vanilla, and pistachio will have you in self-care heaven with how good it smells, too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub).
5. A tub of The Pink Stuff so you can make the messiest of messes clean again with this cult-followed paste. Its fast-acting formula can turn almost any stain into a thing of the past (even if it's been around for eons). It works to remove crayon, grime, permanent marker, or rust from your walls, jewelry, silverware, wood, and more — it's truly so versatile!
www.amazon.com
This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water.
Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (also available in a bundle with a scrubber sponge).
6. A hydrating Cosrx snail mucin repairing essence to help fade dark spots, heal acne scars, and smooth the appearance of fine lines. People with sensitive skin love that the formula is gentle on their skin *and* several reviewers noted they got "fast results."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
New to essences? Try applying this after cleansing but before your moisturizer. Applying it to clean skin and under your moisturizer will help lock in all that snail mucin goodness!
Promising review:"This is a product that works for anybody! I apply it once I have washed my face on damp skin. It can be slightly slimy, once again it is snail mucin, but you only really feel it when you apply it to dry skin. I usually allow it to dry for a bit until it becomes slightly tacky before I put a moisturizer on. I have combination skin. My forehead and chin tend to be oily, but my cheeks dry, and this has really evened that out. I really recommend this because it isn't harsh to the skin and perfect for beginners." — Nelita H.
Get it from Amazon for $18.13.
7. A glasses lens cleaner with tiny microfibers that'll cut through fingerprints for crystal clear vision. You can use the little brush to flick off dirt or dust before wiping away smudges or oils. Your lenses will have a streak-free finish without any scratching!
www.amazon.com, The glass lens cleaner
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before, but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much, and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in ten styles).
8. A viral veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer so you can meal prep in a matter of minutes — that even goes for the eye-watering onions you love but can't stand to chop. Just put your vegetable on top of the blades, press down the lid, and you'll have perfectly cut veggies sitting pretty in the *built-in* storage container.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.87+ (available in five styles and four colors).
9. Skin1004's zombie face masks with albumin (egg white extract) to lift and aloe vera extract that'll deliver deep hydration to your skin. Once the mask dries, it'll look rough and cracked (hence the "zombie" in the name), but once you wash it off 10 minutes later, your skin will look glowy and feel tighter.
Promising review:"Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." — Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $17.99 (also available as a two-pack).
10. A Colorx toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads that only need water to start cleaning and transform your loo from yucky to sparkly — one reviewer said it took as little as "25 seconds." It's much more sanitary than your standard toilet brush thanks to its disposable cleaning heads, meaning you'll have a perfectly clean brush every time you attach a new scrubbing pad.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
11. A long-lasting pomade hair wax stick with a mess-free applicator so you can easily slick back stray hairs or smooth edges — without having sticky hands! One reviewer even says it's "better than gel." 👀
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
Promising review: "I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others, which, to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways, however, were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $7.19+ (also available in multipacks).
12. A mold and mildew stain remover to whiten the dirty caulk and grout in your sink, shower, and tile floors that's... well... seen better days. All you do is apply it, wait 6–8 hours, and (with *no* scrubbing required) you'll see a VERY visible difference. One reviewer who got it after reading one of our articles and said "It's unbelievable!"
Promising review:"Didn't think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn't think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn't quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." — thekuan
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
13. A waterproof Philips Norelco OneBlade electric hair trimmer reviewers say doesn't cause any nicks, irritation, or razor bumps *and* it's the best shaver they've ever owned! The 360 blade means you can shave in any direction, so every last hair is taken care of. Bonus: a little symbol appears on the shaver when it's time to replace the blade (isn't that so cool?!).
Promising review: "Finally, I found a shaver I'm completely satisfied with! I get a smooth shave with low noise, easy to clean in seconds, and doesn't get razor bumps like I used to with other shavers. And some were quite expensive, however this is my favorite one by far! If you have coarse, thick hair and sensitive skin, then I strongly suggest this trimmer!!! A++++" — KDEE27
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
14. A slicker brush to clean, dentangle, and fluff up blankets and carpets that look a little... gnarly. It's designed to make sheepskin, wool, cashmere, merino, and faux fur look brand new again.
Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
15. A root touchup powder for grown-out roots, grey hairs, or any spots you want to appear fuller — just tap the spongey end on your head to apply wherever you want! It's the perfect temporary fix in between salon appointments because OF COURSE your favorite hair stylist is booked out for the foreseeable future...
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Gray hair is still fierce (just look at Jane Fonda) so feel free to let those silvery strands shine!
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer
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 $14.36+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).
16. A handy little Pikk-it tool so you can take out the hair in your vacuum's roller brush — it's hurting your $$$ machine's ability to clean! You can use it for hairbrushes, too, 'cause ripping out stray hairs with your finger is just not as effective.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
17. An exfoliant foot peel that'll leave you GAGGED at how much skin comes off — and you'll be equally satisfied with your baby-smooth feet. If you have cracked heals, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your feet, just slip on these booties for an hour and watch your feet shed for the next 5—7 days. Slipping your newly soft dogs into fuzzy slippers has never felt better!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" This foot peel is THE TRUTH and got my feet right and smooth as butter! I've never done a foot peel in my life and so I had a lot of hard skin under my foot to get rid of. I followed the instructions on the box, and decided to put on the foot peel on right before bed. You can feel the peel tingling and working while you have it on your feet so I felt relief. It took about three days after I did the peel to see the results starting. Do not get discouraged if you see peeling only at the toes. That's just the start of it...cause the next day I felt the mid of my foot arch bubble after my bath and a whole piece of skin was peeling. This peel did its job and some more! It has my feet feeling baby smooth and gave me a feeling of being in a salon without the polish. It felt good to pamper myself. This is my go-to from now on, when I want a good smooth foot AFTER a pedicure (because a pumice stone can't do what this peel can)!" — Shopinista
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents).
18. Or, a bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that's way stronger and " melts off" tough, dead calluses to reveal softer, more supple skin, especially if you were a little extra hard on your feet or wore overly tight shoes. Reviewers say they prefer the results from this *over* treatments they get at salons!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review:"I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions... left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and as a two-pack).
19. A carpet spot cleaning spray — it helps remove the coffee, red wine, and food stains that make you say, "Ugh!" Cleaning accidents will be easy thanks to this fast-acting and no-rinse formula.
www.amazon.com
Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action!
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).
20. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream that can help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while simultaneously moisturizing (thanks to the hyaluronic acid). Some reviewers noticed an "immediate" difference in their skin, noting that it's *BETTER* than the more expensive creams they splurged on.
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 $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).
21. And a retinol body lotion to help skin appear tighter and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage. And reviewers say that using it consistently helped the appearance of the textured skin on their upper arms and legs.
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 $19.99 (also available in two-pack).
22. A hydrating lip-plumping gloss set with a ginger plumper to give the appearance of fuller lips during the day and a mint moisturizing mask for nighttime use. Reviewers say the plumper " delivers on its promise" and gives a spicy-tingling sensation but isn't overwhelming.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
23. A self-tanner to help you get a sun-kissed glow that looks so good, people will think your tan came STRAIGHT from Aruba — even though it came from this mousse. It has *no* horrible scent (aka you won't smell like a wet dog), and it takes just one hour to develop an even (!!) tan.
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 $8.50+ (available in 13 shades).
24. I Dew Care's ultra fine dry shampoo powder that'll make oily, flat hair more voluminous without any hint of greasiness! It's compact, easy to apply, and safe to carry onboard a flight since it's not in an aerosol can (unlike other dry shampoos). Just dab the cushiony end on your roots, shake out the product, and style — then you're done!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I almost want to gatekeep. By far THE best dry shampoo I've ever used — not sure how this sorcery works, but I'm obsessed!" — Robertson
Promising review: "I originally bought this for a month-long trip to Australia (that began with five days of camping without much time to stop by a store). I wanted something small and non-aerosol (because travel), and hate applying powder by hand and didn't want to bring an application brush. The application sponge is great, and the powder itself is also magic. I was a DAILY hair washer most of my teenage and adult life, but now I can go an entire WEEK with this stuff (and other mindful habits like night braids). I really love it."— Bre
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in seven shades).
25. A maximum strength wart-removing gel designed to dry out and remove these growths thanks to its salicylic acid-based formula. It even comes with waterproof patches so you can conceal your wart and prevent it from spreading.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I had five awfully painful plantar warts on my foot for about four months. They were all about a 1/4 inch apart on the ball of my foot and I had a massive one under my second toe. It was becoming hard to walk with how painful they were. This was a Hail Mary and it worked phenomenally. The gel coats well right where you apply it. It doesn't have an awful stench. I applied it every three to four days for a couple of weeks. I noticed the pain was less and less until I didn't notice any. Last night I was actually able to pull and peel the remains of the dead warts out!! Kinda gross, but kind of cool. Seriously, this product works. If you have annoying warts...this is the answer!!!" — CJ805
Get a kit with the gel and 12 patches from Amazon for $14.99.
26. A polar bear-shaped hydrating balm that'll help dark circles *and* eye puffiness all in one swipe. This balm infused with Icelandic glacial water and niacinamide is the perfect way to look and feel a little more refreshed — even if you got, like, zero sleep!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It also helps tighten eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And bonus: It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.
Promising review:" This stuff is magic! I purchased this product on a recommendation from a BuzzFeed list, and was not disappointed! I have not been sleeping well due to stress, and the first day I used it, my coworkers commented how well-rested I looked! I told them about it and all of them ordered one for themselves. Very impressed!" — Saminyah Marcelin
Get it from Amazon for $9.89 (available in three styles and in larger multipacks).
27. Plus, Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener so you can make under-eye bags and discoloration vanish with a small amount of product — reviewers say a little goes a long way! It's packed with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to help your skin look nourished and radiant, so you can take on the day with an "I slept a full 10 hours" glow.
Promising review: "Anyone with dark under-eye problems like myself needs to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca, but this one is better, in my opinion!! It's very pigmented and covers blue hues in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well; it's very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months — a little dab goes a long way. It's extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I'm a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb
Promising review: "Bought this after seeing an influencer use it on TikTok. This works really well. I can instantly see a difference when I use it under my eyes. For the price, this is a win-win. I had never heard of this brand, but I will be using their products more often." — Kerry C
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
28. An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that can help control sebum, remove blackheads *and* dissolve makeup — some people are even left with visible residue on their fingertips! If you want to start double cleansing, this is the perfect first step.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help your pores stay super, super clean.
Promising review:"BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I've gone through 3-4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly a heaven-send. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don't wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing." — rexichor
Promising review: "Got it because it was all over my TikTok and I wanted to try the double cleansing. And wow, I don't regret it, it's amazing!!!! Leaves my skin so soft and so hydrated. I use it before my water base cleanser and it has helped me reduce my breakouts. I love the texture, the smell is very subtle (you can barely smell it) and I just love it." — Linette González
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
29. A Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap that helped one reviewer make their dark spot of 20 years *poof* into existence. It's formulated with powerhouse ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and turmeric to help hyperpigmentation disappear. And if you're worried it'll leave your skin feeling dry or stripped, it *also* has shea butter, olive oil, and hyaluronic acid to help combat that.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear
Promising review: "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." — Michaella Leyein
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in multipacks).
30. A prescription-strength Differin retinoid gel to help fight, treat, and prevent future breakouts with consistent use — reviewers say it takes time to see results! It can normalize skin cell turnover, restore skin texture, and get rid of those inflamed, clogged pores that sweat, dirt, and oily skin can cause.
Promising review:"Look, I don't know what kind of magical potion is in this little bottle, but I've used it approximately four times in the past week, and my skin is GLOWING. My pores are suddenly nonexistent, and my blackheads have shrunk. This stuff is amazing. Also, it's really moisturizing and not as irritating as other retinoids I have used in the past. The bottle is smaller than I was expecting, but it is worth every penny. Great stuff. 11/10." — Demi
Promising review: "This stuff actually works. I work in a spa, and I've tried dozens of different products that cost five times the price to try to clear up my acne-prone skin, and NOTHING has worked, as well as Differin gel. One of my esthetician coworkers recommended it to me, and dang if she wasn't right. It will dry out your skin pretty badly so make sure you have and use a good moisturize,r but my skin cleared up in less than two weeks, and I'm still amazed." — Rin Wisell
Get it from Amazon for $13.69+ (available in four sizes).
31. One/Size blurring setting powder to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and blur pores. You'll get up to 24-hour shine control, so you can literally wear this for a full day and still have flawless makeup. Plus, you won't get any flashback if you want to take a mirror selfie at work!
Sephora
One/Size is a queer, Filipino-owned business founded by makeup expert Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby owns this and swears by it: "I love love love this stufffff, omg. My skin is oily oily (gotta say it twice for emphasis), and I have spent my entire teen/adult life looking for products that'll make me matte and KEEP me matte. I've tried so many setting powders and literally none can compete with this one. This powder is a serious bad B. I mean, pores? Nonexistent. Oily shiny face? Not up in here. BTW, I am a brown-skinned woman, and the translucent shade works perfectly for me. No caking, no flashback, nothing. Looks just like my skin!!"
Promising review: "Literally, what's in this powder? Beauty spells? I have normal to dry skin but tend to grease up pretty easily when I use dewy foundations. I used this for the first time today and fell absolutely in love! I usually don't care too much for high-end powders or powders at all but this one for me is top tier. It didn't necessarily dry out my skin, but it stopped it from becoming greasy, and it kept my makeup looking the same as when I applied it for hours. I definitely will be repurchasing; I've never been more in love with a setting powder!" — Kamoni
Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes and eight finishes).
33. A Briotech spray with a hypochlorous acid formula (which is antibacterial) that can help reduce inflammation, redness, irritation, *and* help you avoid those pesky breakouts. It's a super easy way to cleanse your skin without washing your face! Reviewers compare it to the Tower 28 SOS Spray, which is pricier, but it does the same(!) thing(!!).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.
Promising review: " What is this sorcery? Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. I thought all of the before and after pics were fake, but I was desperate so I bought this stuff anyway. I had been dealing with an irritation bump for almost three months that I couldn't get rid of, so I did some research and tried a variety of home remedies, none of which worked. Then I stumbled upon the Briotech spray and saw the before and after pictures and wanted soooo badly to believe them. I also didn't want to get my hopes up, so I wrote them off as fake. I bought this stuff anyway (again, I was desperate) and I'm SO glad I did. I bought it on Sept. 5, and my bump (which was huge and awful) was completely gone on Sept. 25. I'm still in shock that it worked, but I'm so happy it did. Buy this! Stick with it, and I promise you won't regret it!" — iamericadelaney
Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $16.49 (available in four sizes and in multipacks).
34. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash to help calm and soothe skin irritations like athlete's foot, ringworm, or good ole dry skin. The blend of jojoba, coconut, and olive oil helps moisturize, refresh, and deodorize your entire body.

Promising review:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using. Love the fresh smell. Also helped an eczema breakout." — KJeanine ATL
Promising review: "This is my favorite body wash ever! I was dealing with some serious postpartum BO, and this saved me! Results fromthe first use!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.49.
35. Essence's Volume Booster Lash Primer because this, plus your go-to mascara, makes for a match made in heaven — aka your lashes will look super volumized. You'll fall in love with this nourishing, moisturizing formula that's packed with acai oil and mango butter!
www.amazon.com
Just apply it until you see a thin, white layer, and then let it sit for 20–30 seconds before putting on mascara. And if you're wondering *which* mascara to pair this with, I suggest Essence's Lash Princess (it has 260K 5-star reviews and only costs 5 bucks!!).
Promising review:"Saw this primer recommended on TikTok and they were right. Let it dry before mascara application, and it does wonders. Adds volume! Stays all day." — JC
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack).
36. NYX Brow Glue — reviewers say it holds your eyebrow hairs in place all day, leaves behind no flaky residue, and can give you a ~feathered~ *or* more natural brow look depending on how you apply it. Some say this is cheaper (and " better") than Anastasia Beverly Hills's "brow freeze"!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I would use hairspray to hold my eyebrows and throughout the day I would sweat through it and it wouldn't last. I tried this because the price was great and I'm glad I did. This product is awesome. I've had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift and they are still in place! It doesn't dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." — Shelby
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in five shades).
37. Mielle's Rosemary Mint oil that can help strengthen and promote hair growth at the root thanks to its biotin-rich formula. Reviewers with all hair types, from " very-straight" to " type 4c" love this product!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately)." — Claire Blanchard
Promising review: "I hardly write reviews but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" — Dee
Get it from Amazon for $9.33.

Millions more to get test results via NHS app, government says

The NHS app will become the default method of communication for millions more patients in England and save the health service £200m over the next three years, the government has said. More test results, screening invitations and appointment reminders will be sent directly to smartphones as part of a £50m investment in the app, in a move away from traditional communication methods such as letters. It is estimated that at least 50 million letters are sent to patients each year. The Department of Health and Social Care said that people who cannot access app messaging - including elderly patients - will receive text messages and then a letter as a last resort, and NHS phone lines would be freed up. The department says 270 million messages will be sent through the NHS app this financial year - an increase of 70 million on the previous year. Push notifications will provide appointment reminders to patients to try to reduce the risk of no attendance - with around eight million missed appointments in elective care missed in 2023/24. Work is also under way to enable users of the app to add appointments to their phone calendars and request help from their local GP surgeries. Figures show that more than 11 million people in the UK log into the NHS app every month, while almost 20 million are opted in to receive healthcare messages from the app. It is hoped the changes will give patients better access to manage their healthcare journey and make informed decisions about their care. NHS app services, which were launched in December 2018, are now used in 87% of hospitals across England. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said further investment in the app would bring the NHS into the digital age so that being a patient was as "convenient as online banking or ordering a takeaway". He added that moving away from paper communication could free up funding for front line services. Rachel Power, chief executive of the Patient's Association, said the upgrade was a "significant step in modernising how patients receive information". The British Medical Association (BMA) has previously warned that a reliance on apps to the NHS to communicate with patients risked alienating patients who don't have access to digital technology. It followed the government's announcement in January that it planned to allow more patients in England to book treatments and appointments through the app. Last month, NHS England announced millions of patients would be able to get "Amazon-style" tracking updates on their prescriptions through the app, to check if their medicines are ready to collect or have been despatched for delivery.

The potential benefits of the ‘Japanese walking' workout which fans claim is better than 10,000 steps a day

There have been numerous walking workout trends that have circled social media in recent years. It's no wonder—walking has numerous benefits, including reducing heart disease risk, strengthening your joints and heart, boosting your mood, and potentially helping you live longer. The latest trend making the rounds across TikTok and Instagram is known as 'Japanese walking,' and one creator claims that in just 30 minutes, you'll get 10 times the benefits of hitting 10,000 steps a day. The workout originates from a 2007 study based in Japan where 246 participants were divided into three groups: no walking, moderate-intensity continuous walking (walking at a moderate effort and taking at least 8,000 steps per day four or more days per week), and high-intensity interval walking. The third group, doing the high-intensity intervals, were instructed to walk slowly for three minutes, then walk quickly at a hard effort for three minutes, and repeat five or more times for four or more days per week. The researchers discovered that this group experienced noticeable improvements in strength, endurance, and decreased blood pressure, more so than the moderate-intensity continuous walking group. This workout is what's now become known as 'Japanese walking.' Another study from 2018 observed participants who did this exact walking workout over the course of 10 years. They found that those who kept up with the workout for the duration of the study experienced a 20% improvement in their leg strength, and a 40% improvement in their peak exercise capacity. The researchers concluded that those participants had protected against age-associated declines in physical fitness. Even those who weren't able to maintain the workout for the full 10 years had those improvements partially preserved. Since you're getting your heart rate up during the harder walking intervals, your body gets the benefit of more moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week for most adults, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity—and pushing the walking pace every so often could help you reach that target. Additionally, research shows that moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity is associated with lower risk of early mortality and improved cardiorespiratory fitness. For the higher-intensity intervals, your heart rate should be elevated to the point where you're just starting to feel out of breath, but not at your maximum effort. The researchers consider this 70% of your max effort capability. Meanwhile, the lower-intensity walking should be an easy effort, where talking is still comfortable. Alternate walking at each intensity for three minutes until you reach 30 minutes. Incorporate this workout in your routine four times per week. For more on walking: Walking is a super exercise. The truth about the number of steps you really need, and maximizing the benefits Walking faster may help you live longer. Experts say to aim for this pace Walking more could add as much as 11 years to your life, study says. Here's how This story was originally featured on
