Get a look at how it's used on TikTok.
Promising review: "I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I've tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly along my part and easily skip a shampoo without being self-conscious or having an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." — Dino
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in multipacks).
3. A piercing bump solution because you didn't go through the pain of a piercing for a pesky keloid to steal the spotlight! This formula is rich in oils, including jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help gradually reduce bumps and scars over time.
www.amazon.com
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
4. A foot file to ensure you don't have to live with crusty feet for a moment longer. Simply rub this file on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off. When you reveal that silky-smooth surface underneath, you'll wish you'd discovered it sooner.
Promising review:"BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn't matter if I wear socks all the time I always get dry heals. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I've never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." — Mickenzie
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
5. OR! A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel when the thought of repeatedly scrubbing or filing your feet makes you cringe. This will get you the jaw-dropping results you desire without paying for a very uncomfortable visit to your manicurist.
Just presoak your 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 $7.99+ (available in three styles and as a two-pack).
6. Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, which is a biotin-infused formula to help strengthen hair, smooth split ends, and hydrate dry scalps. It promotes growth at the root and is perf for 3A–4C hair types. Reviewers swear by it for eyebrows, too!

Promising reviews: "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
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 $9.97

Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients.
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. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in three scents, four sizes, and as a two-pack).
8. A game-changing nail biting polish for anyone who feels like they need a miracle to stop their chomping habit. If you wanna grow gorgeous nails instead of rockin' the stubby look, this stuff can help! It tastes terrible but is perfectly safe and will make you think twice the next time you put your hand near your mouth.
Promising review:"This really helps!!! I've been biting my nails to the nub for 24 years. I have nails now and I don't bite anymore; that's all I wanted. This product made that happen. It tastes SO bad, I never realized how much I subconsciously put my hands in my mouth until I used this. However, I figured I should warn you/give you guys a heads up, be prepared to taste this on ANY AND ALL foods you have to eat with your hands. To me, that was a small sacrifice I was DEFINITELY willing to make to get my nails to this point. I don't even need to use it anymore because now I'm more aware of my nails. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this product." — Kelsey Walton
Get it from Amazon for $12.35.
9. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if sweaty pits are ruining your day, every single day. Give your armpits a swipe before bed, wash them in the morning, and you could potentially enjoy up to seven days of bliss with less sweat. Now that's groundbreaking.
Each box lasts two months!
Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Embarrassingly Gross. Never had any idea what I'd pull off my tongue each morning… I'll save you the details – but surprised it took me into my mid-40s to discover [this]. Every human who brushes their teeth needs one… [it] has already helped my breath." — L. Utton
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.76 (available in various styles, larger multipacks, and individually).
11. And for good measure, an alcohol-free oral rinse — it can assist in the fight against bad breath for 24 hours and doesn't have a super strong taste that lingers OR burns. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse!
www.amazon.com
Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night.
Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available individually and in mild mint).
12. A shockingly effective wart-removing gel for the kinda results that'll have rubbing your eyes in disbelief. It contains salicylic acid to help dry out those growths *and* it comes with waterproof patches for an effective, no-mess solution.
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 $12.89 (also available in two other styles).
13. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair to help with the dry, cracked, and/or chapped lips you've struggled with for years. If you're already familiar with the brand's famous Working Hands cream, you know it's the real deal. Why not give your pout the same royal treatment while you sleep?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a two-pack).
14. A nose hair wax kit that'll quickly remove rogue nostril hairs *without* it ending in a face full of tears. It has everything you need to remove the hair and keep it gone for up to four weeks. Reviewers are low-key shocked at how painless the process is.
www.amazon.com
Note: The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out harmful debris. But of course, it's your body and if you want to wax your nose hairs you're more than welcome to — just be careful as removing nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs. Read more about it at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review:"I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" — Julie J.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
15. A genuinely ~wonder~ful balm for resolving just about any persistent skin condition you've been praying would just vanish on its own. Whether it's ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, or plain old dry skin, this stuff may be the solution you've been scouring the earth for.
Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $36.32.
16. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" so you can obliterate those stubborn food particles stuck between your teeth. These not-so-ordinary brushes have multilayer bristles that act as strong pieces of floss to get in there REAL good.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A.
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack).
17. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner because yours probably needs a refresh by now. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help demolish odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque.
www.amazon.com
You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more.
Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R.
Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81 (also available as a pack of 60 or 240 tablets).
18. An exfoliating mitt you'll be so glad to discover because it helps you achieve ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing other annoying probs, like bumps and ingrown hairs.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I've tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" — Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three styles and as a two-pack).
19. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula when you wanna experience that post-facial glow from the comfort of your home. This can unclog pores via high-frequency vibrations. Each cycle lasts five minutes before it automatically turns off. Bonus: Your skincare products will be better absorbed after using it!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok!
My colleague Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!"
Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).
20. A fungal nail renewal treatment — yes, there is indeed a solution to that funky toenail that's bugging you. This groundbreaking formula helps treat fungal nail damage and may help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness associated with it.
Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about 3 years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked til I bought this one. Let me tell you it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than 2 months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available with nail files).
21. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel if removing unwanted hair feels like the most tedious task in the world and you wanna change that. This hydrating cream gently removes hair and helps reduce the chance of painful ingrowns. Apply evenly, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove it with the spatula, then rinse.
www.amazon.com
It comes with a spatula for removing the cream!
Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack).
22. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and use hydrocolloid to help draw the gunk out of zits. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking — seriously, where have these been all your life?! Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."
Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets!
Promising review:"I purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning, the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" — Slade Salisbury

Promising review:"I HAVE NEVER HAD A HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. UNTIL NOW!! Literally SO effective. Tons of people have been complimenting my skin from my boyfriend (who doesn't always notice subtle changes) to my coworkers ONLINE VIA VIDEO! My skin literally looks visibly brighter and smoother. The only thing you have to be careful of is if you freshly wax or thread any part of your face. Wait a day or two to use the product in case you have sensitive skin to be safe!" — Ulta Customer

I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these blades to try at home dermaplaning. I was nervous at first, but it's almost impossible to cut yourself with these and it took the peach fuzz right off my face. In fact, as I was staring at my face in a magnifying mirror and removing the fuzz, I noticed my nose hair was a little out of control. I even used one of these in my nose (that's right) and it worked great! I will be keeping a few of these on-hand at all times." — TKB
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.94 (also available as a set of nine).
28. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo for keeping your hair free of those bothersome flakes that have been irritating your scalp for far too long. Apply it to wet hair, lather it up, then rinse thoroughly. It's formulated with 1% ketoconazole to kill the fungus that causes dandruff!
This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b – 4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough to where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C.
29. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller, which will probably feel like you've struck gold. This tool can help make excess oil ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. It's more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won't have to keep reapplying powder.
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.

But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?!

33. A reusable menstrual cup for anyone who has sworn off pads and tampons. It'll save you money *and* it's more environmentally friendly than disposables. Simply empty it out and clean it when you're done! You'll feel like a true period wizard when you pass that aisle at the store.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy says: "The menstrual cup factor that freaked me out the most was the thought of having to get up there and break the seal to take it out. So when I saw the Flex Cup, which is specifically designed to make that process easier, I figured why not give it a try. This is a purchase I would definitely file under the 'life-changing' category. Yes, there is a learning curve, but by my second cycle with the cup, I felt like a pro. Even with the pull tab, taking it out can be a little messy (I tend to just do it in the shower), but it's definitely a more controlled experience than if it wasn't there at all. With my flow, I can leave my cup in for 12 straight hours without fear (can't say the same about tampons...), meaning the Flex Cup has made my period less awful. A true feat!"
Promising review:"So very happy with my purchase!! Fits comfortably! Easy to insert and remove, just takes some getting used to. Save money on pads and tampons! Very, very, very happy with this purchase." — Evie

Promising review:"I've suffered with sweaty hands for all of my life. It's an issue that has caused me embarrassment and anxiety where there should be neither. I've only just started using this lotion, but I can tell it's making a difference. It definitely has a distinct drying effect and makes my hands feel smooth." — Gary

Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor.
Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber

The kit includes 10 transparent braces, nontoxic brace adhesive, solvent, a nail file, and cotton swabs.
Clean the area with solvent, then apply the adhesive to one end of the brace before bonding it to the nail. Ensure the length is correct before applying adhesive to the other end of the brace, then finish bonding it to the nail.
Promising review:"I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I'd put a Band-Aid over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don't have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so and this one was the best way. Found this product with all the things one needs — applied it as directed, and it does take some practice but once attached it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I'm a month in on the most severe toe and no more ingrown toenail!" — Sandra L.
