Ohio University to close Pride Center, Women's Center and Multicultural Center due to new law
Alumni Gateway at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. (Stock photo from Getty Images.) Ohio University will close the Pride Center, the Women's Center and the Multicultural Center in response to a new higher education law banning diversity efforts that takes effect this summer, the university president announced Tuesday. OU will sunset the Division of Diversity and Inclusion — which includes those three centers — 'over the next several weeks,' Ohio University President Lori Stewart Gonzalez said in a statement. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX There is no definitive date for when the division or the centers will close, but the centers will not be open beyond when the law takes effect on June 23, according to university spokesperson Dan Pittman. 'Work managed by the division that remains within the law will be moved to other areas of the university,' the university said. State Sen. Jerry Cirino, R-Kirtland, introduced Senate Bill 1 at the end of January, it quickly passed both chambers and Gov. Mike DeWine signed it into law on March 28. Youngstown State University faculty are trying to get a referendum on the November ballot to block S.B. 1. The law affects Ohio's public universities and community colleges. The new law will also prohibit faculty strikes, regulate classroom discussion of 'controversial' topics, create post-tenure reviews, put diversity scholarships at risk, create a retrenchment provision that blocks unions from negotiating on tenure, shorten university board of trustees terms from nine years down to six years, and require students take an American history course, among other things. 'We must continue to ensure every person we invite to be a part of our university community finds their place here and develops connections,' Gonzalez said in her letter to the university. 'Without forgetting that essential commitment, we must also follow the law.' All employee positions within the Division of Diversity and Inclusion will be eliminated. The three centers have eight full-time staffers, according to their websites. The centers also have student workers. 'Employees will continue in their current roles for the next several weeks and will be given the opportunity to interview for any open university position for which they apply and meet minimum qualifications,' Gonzalez said. Employees who don't continue to work at OU will receive full separation benefits, according to the university. Support for the university's Templeton, Urban, Appalachian, and Margaret Boyd Scholars programs will move under the Honors Tutorial College. Ohio University's Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine's Office of Inclusion will also close because of the new law. The university said it will be reaching out to students, faculty and staff for their input on inclusion and belonging moving forward. 'I want to be clear that the task ahead for all of us is not to look for ways to recreate the same approaches under a different name,' Gonzalez said. 'Rather, the charge is to invent something new that meets the moment and delivers results for our students.' The Capital Journal previously reported on how OU student Audrey Ansel has been preparing for Ohio University's Pride Center to likely close as a result of the law. This comes as Ohio's public universities are in the midst of figuring out how the controversial law affects them. The University of Toledo recently announced they are suspending nine undergraduate programs in response to S.B. 1. Follow Capital Journal Reporter Megan Henry on Bluesky.

25 Korean Beauty Products That You'll Wish You'd Known About Sooner
1. An Anua pore control cleansing oil to magically eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate in a double cleansing routine! It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. 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 get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising reviews:"I don't need makeup remover wipes or a separate eye makeup remover because this product does the job for all of it! I've tried different products in the past, but this is the only one that has truly satisfied me. I'm extremely happy that I discovered this product!" — Perla Cuevas "I don't usually leave reviews but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER !!!!! Worked flawlessly after first try and I can actually see the results immediately!! My gosh it's light weight, smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin 5–10 minutes and you can see the magic. Will definitely add this into my skincare routine. JUST GET IT !!!!!" — Vince Get it from Amazon for $14.15. 2. A Beauty of Joseon serum if you're a real glow getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help you maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture. I've been using this serum for about three months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there's different options for different skin concerns) and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plumped and radiant! Promising review:"From the moment I started using this serum I saw results! The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly without worrying about it disrupting my makeup or other skincare products. The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is the price. I think it's a bit expensive for the amount of product you get. However, it's so good that I'll still leave it at 8/5 stars!" — Yuna Lee Get it from Amazon for $11.90+ (available in two sizes). 3. A popular pack of Skin1004 pore tightening and lifting masks that has surprised reviewers with its immediate results. These fast-acting masks are made with albumin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica extract to hydrate and lift your skin, tighten enlarged pores, clear small breakouts, and give you that "just came fresh from the spa" glow. To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!). But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin. Promising reviews:"After years of trying different products on my sensitive, acne-prone, red, rough skin, I saw this mask and all of the positive reviews and thought 'what the hell, I'll give it a go.' Even after the first application, I was really impressed with the results. My rough skin is smoother, I have no additional breakouts and when I do wear makeup it actually blends into my skin. It also helps the deep wrinkles on my neck. I even got a compliment on my skin the other day — this NEVER happens. I use the mask twice per week. I'm on month two and I recommend it to anyone with problem skin. My only caution is that is smells kind of funky (who cares) and it's a little hard to remove. I only apply the mask when I'm going to shower and wash my hair. It's zombie life for me here on out!" — Charlie B Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (also available in a two-pack and in a variety three-pack). 4. A TikTok-famous Anua heartleaf soothing toner because it works like a charm to soothe and hydrate your skin, all while balancing out your pH level thanks to its high concentration of heartleaf extract. (77%, to be exact!) It also enhances the absorption of serums and moisturizers and works *perfectly* prepping your skin before makeup for a glowy glass skin look. Check it out in this TikTok. Promising review: "Guys. Guys. MAGIC IN A BOTTLE. I was slightly hesitant to buy this because of the price point, but I know it was highly praised on TikTok. I kid you not; I have not had a SINGLE whitehead since I started using this. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, and this toner has been amazing. My skin has quite literally never been clearer. I have tried so many freakin' products to try and get my skin clear, and this one is absolutely my new holy grail. I cannot recommend this enough if you have oily, acne-prone, super-sensitive skin. I cannot express how happy I am at how affordable it is!" — morgan Get it from Amazon for $15.60+ (available in two sizes). 5. Or a bottle of I'm From goami rice toner that reviewers with dry skin say is hydration in a bottle. Its vegetable-originated extracts will leave your skin looking supple, smooth, and glowy without any heavy or sticky residue. This toner is vegan and cruelty-free. Promising review: "I love this toner! I've finished the whole bottle. It's light and moisturizing. I can definitely tell the difference, my skin is smoother and plump. I love it cause I have both oily and dry skin and it makes my skin normal again! Best of all it doesn't burn or irritate my skin, if anything it calms it down. Will definitely be buying again." — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $23.50 (available in two formulas and two sizes). 6. A wonderfully potent Seoul Ceuticals Day Glow Serum infused with hyaluronic and ferulic acid, vitamin E, citrus stem cells, and centella asiatica to help (*takes a deep breath*) reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, help fade dark spots, shrink pores, prevent breakouts, and brighten your overall complexion. We love a multi-talented product. Promising review:"Magic in a freaking bottle. I love this product. I was hesitant to buy and start a new addition to my skincare routine but I said F it and bought it on a whim. WELL I AM SO GLAD I DID. Pores, wrinkles, and fine lines are minimized, hydration on point, and it smells AMAZING. Yes the texture is water-based, and when I woke up the next day — WOW I WAS GLOWING!!! It's been a few weeks on this now and I have to say I will continue to buy it. I rinse with water and then put a dropper full on each cheek and rub it all over my face and follow it with sunscreen. FREAKING GLOWWWWWWWINGGGGGG. I am obsessed with this product and just the scent alone throws me into an amazing start to my day. Heaven in a bottle. YUM!!!!!!!" — Clayt Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in two sizes). 7. A K-beauty Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil because heartbreak is one thing, but an icky sticky finish on your lips is another. It's made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips while feeling super lightweight. It also gives your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush. This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. I have been using this lip oil for three months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. At first, I thought that the bottle seemed small but after applying 2–3 times/day for a month, I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" — Nhu Get it from Amazon for $8.47+ (available in 13 colors and in sets) 8. A nourishing Etude House eye cream with concentrated collagen that moisturizes and helps firm the delicate skin around your eyes while helping to prevent fine lines. It'll make your skin feel so supple, you'll want to add that eye cream step back into your regular routine. Soko Glam Soko Glam is an Asian-owned business based in New York City. It was founded by a wife and husband team, Charlotte and Dave Cho, who curate the products on Soko Glam by traveling regularly to Seoul to scour the Korean skincare market. Promising reviews:"I absolutely love this eye cream! I have a dry skin type and am prone to darkness under eye when I'm tired. After I use a small amount my under eye glows and feels so hydrated. I am on my second jar and will absolutely repurchase it!" — Makayla "I really wanted an inexpensive eye cream just to moisturize and keep my skin feeling soft and subtle during winter. This did the trick. I've bought it over and over again." — Mary Get it from Soko Glam for $27.60 or from Amazon for $13.58. 9. And a The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character. It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration. Promising review:"This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rear view mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it's more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don't get much product, but you don't need to use much either, and it's not like it's expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it'll do!!! Buy it!" — Joseph S. Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and in multipacks). 10. A viral Anua dark spot correcting serum formulated with the powerful trio of niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and arbutin to help banish dull skin and enlarged pores to another dimension.

Check it out in the TikTok. Promising review: "Okay for starter my skin is very sensitive and gets itchy and will break out if my skin does not agree with any product. This serum did not cause any break out or sensitivity at all. I feel like it's helping my breakouts and it looks like it's giving my skin the glass skin look! It goes on smooth and dries with a bit of tackiness to it that feels hydrating. Don't hesitate! For this price, it's a steal! Now I want to try more Anua products!" — Brandon Get it from Amazon for $18.48. 11. A Peach & Lily water gel moisturizer for your skin to drink right up. It combines hyaluronic acid with vegan prebiotics and probiotics for a weightless finish and that instant ~ahhh~ hydration. Peach & Lily Peach & Lily is a woman- and Asian-owned business that specializes in spa-grade K-beauty skincare that's cruelty-free and educating beauty lovers with informational skincare guides. It's also vegan and cruelty-free! Promising review: "Love this moisturizer so much! It's definitely a holy grail in my routine now. It's so cooling and refreshing and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, soft and smooth without any greasy or heavy feeling or sticky residue. Great for the oily skin and acne prone girls!" — Chloe W. Get it from Ulta or Peach & Lilly for $43. 12. Or a Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer, which is a lightweight gel-type cream that'll help soothe dry, irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier by enriching it with the long-lasting hydration it's been begging for. Check it out on TikTok here! Promising review:"Wow, this is amazing stuff. I am critical about clean skincare that is good for sensitive skin. As soon as I put this on it is unbelievable soothing, hydrating and absorbs completely. I was expecting a lingering gooey film but, was pleasantly surprised. This has been the only product to give that "glass" skin look. I have always had a pinkish hue to my skin with it being sensitive and reactive. This is a fantastic product at a great price. I've used soooo many high end products (Tatcha, Peach & Lilly, skinmedica, you name it) — this is worth the money." — JeffK Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 13. A Mizon snail repair cream with snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, and 12 natural extracts that can help nourish, brighten, and re-plump your skin without any oiliness (perfect for acne-prone skin!). When it comes to repairing the skin barrier, this cream really ~snailed~ it. Behold, yet another product that has made me love products with snail mucin. I've been using this product for three months and it's like this cream has taken an eraser and rubbed it over my acne scars to reveal the clear-looking skin that I didn't know I could achieve. A true game-changer! Promising review: "I am obsessed with this stuff I would bathe in it if I could!! I have really sensitive skin to weather changes and tend to get flaky skin on my face, but I've used this for two years now and I have had the most moisturized baby smooth face since. Seriously buy it, put it on before bed, and the next morning you can absolutely tell the difference. I'm like a freaking walking ad for it. My face is brighter and more moisturized." — Leah Get it from Amazon for $11.80+ (available in four sizes). 14. An Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later face primer — the little potion you'll be thanking at the end of a long day when you're makeup *still* looks bomb AF. This pore-minimizing miracle worker (with SPF 30!) helps blur your pores, gives you a ~velvety complexion~, and locks your look in place so that it doesn't move or shift around. Reviewers say it absorbs well, foundation glided over it, and that it made their full face stand up to sweaty heat! Plus, it comes in four problem-solving formulas. Elizabeth Mott is a Korean-American, woman-owned small biz! Promising reviews: "I wore this primer under my foundation (Nars and Maybelline Fit Me) along with setting spray (Nyx) in this photo [above right]. I had been dunked in the pool two times and went down a giant slide that caused you to go under water three times. This was the result of my makeup! Love this product. A little goes a long way!" — Ryan Brooks "I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin. I realized the makeup I was previously using was breaking me out, so I threw it away and purchased this primer with a powder foundation from another brand. THIS PRIMER THOUGH!! I hated the powder foundation I purchased and got rid of that, too, but this stays. I use this as my foundation now! It comes out green but blends into your face quickly. It covers my redness and uneven skin tone, but my freckles can still be seen. It makes my face look almost flawless, hydrated, and clear. This blew me away. I've already been suggesting it to friends and I will continue to buy this over and over again." — Lucy Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six formulas and in a bundle). 15. The Face Shop makeup remover wipes that gently cleanses and nourishes your skin all at once, especially after a long day! Since they're infused with rice water, it is *packed* with ceramides, lipids, and vitamins A, B, and E that help ensure they are gentle (yet effective!) on your skin. Amazon, Promising review:"I wasn't expecting very much from this product because of its inexpensive price point but I was pleasantly surprised. I would compare it to high-end products. It made my skin so glowy and healthy looking after just a couple days of use. My face feels so moisturized as well. I now use it at least once a day. Removes eye makeup well. I had not tried any rice bran extract products before but I will definitely be repurchasing these as they have become my holy grail. I had sebum problems in my t-zone and dryness on my cheeks and corners of my lips. This has helped to control those areas. The smell is pleasant to me. Perfect travel size." — Stephany Get a pack of 50 wipes from Amazon for $10. 16. Or a Heimish cleansing balm if you have stubborn blackheads and makeup residue that you wish would just ~melt away~. This balm has 10 natural vegetable oils that melt as it comes in contact with your skin and effortlessly removes makeup and can reduce blackheads. It also works as a more gentle alternative if you prefer not to scrub with makeup wipes! Using the mini spatula, scoop a decent amount and let it melt as it comes in contact with your skin. Spread and massage it into your face, rinse, and you're done! Promising review:"This is an absolute must-have! I wear makeup on an almost daily basis and this is the perfect first step cleanser. Once you start massaging it into your skin, it warms up and smooths out along you skin, removing makeup easily as well as penetrating the oils on your face. It is easy to wash off and doesn't sting my eyes. It removes ALL my make up. And since you don't need much, each container lasts me about a month. I then follow up with a foaming cleanser and the rest of my routine. I am never without this product and have yet to try one that even comes close." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.04+ (available in two scents). 17. A Krave Beauty matcha hemp cleanser that lifts away dirt, makeup, and sunscreen without giving you that super tight feel. Its bouncy gel formula also hydrates and soothes your skin without stripping away your natural oils! I guess you can say it's a matcha made in heaven. @kravebeauty / Via Krave Beauty is a Korean woman-owned small biz that aims to make skincare easy and stress-free. Promising review:"I struggled with oily, acne-prone skin and a damaged barrier since I was a teenager. But I've been loyal to this cleanser and the oat moisturizer since they came out and y' took some time, but my skin is finally, FINALLY, in the place I always wanted it to be. It has the perfect texture, amount of lather, and after-feel of any cleanser I've ever tried. Do your skin a favor and try this." — Monisa A. 18. A super easy-to-use (and super cute) Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover — it'll become your nose's best friend. Just scrub it over your nose and watch as it gently exfoliates and removes excess sebum, blackheads, and other impurities. Bye bye, pore strips! Promising reviews: " This is hands down the best exfoliator I have ever had. It's small so I was concerned but I exfoliate my face twice a week and it's been a couple months there's still plenty left. 10/10 buy it now!" — Mars "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $8.75. 19. Or a Cosrx blackhead remover liquid with 4% BHA made with willow bark water to mattify and exfoliate your skin, making enlarged pores look smaller and helping to prevent breakouts. Radiant skin, here I come. After cleansing your skin, apply the essence using your hands (or a cotton pad) and wipe gently over your face. And don't forget to apply SPF afterwards when using it in the morning! Before getting this product about five months ago, I'd never used a liquid, leave-on exfoliant like this. I'm so glad I did! It's such a gentle, easy way of giving your pores the extra cleansing step that they usually need. Not only has it minimized my pores more than any of the other dozens of exfoliators I've tried, but it's also been the *best* at preventing breakouts and promoting clear skin! Promising review:" I struggle so bad with my pores cause they've always looked so huge but after just a week using this I can already see them shrinking down and becoming smaller. I was a little nervous about using an oil-like serum like this on my T-zone because I have combo skin and always get oily around my nose and chin, but it honestly hasn't affected my skin whatsoever. There also isn't really a scent to it, which is awesome. It leaves my skin feeling really moisturized. It's a good buy and I definitely recommend this and rave about this." — Berika Jones Get it from Amazon for $18.07. 20. A pack of popular Cosrx pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for popping those pimples anymore! For persistent or bigger pimples, leave a pimple patch on overnight for two to three days to allow the pimple to diminish completely. Promising review:"I've suffered from full coverage acne since I was 8 or 9 years old (I know. A freakishly young age to start.). I've use every product known to man. Proactive, Neutrogena, Clearasil, medication from list goes on, and I'm sure most people have experienced the same. BUT THESE WORK. HOLY SHT THESE WORK. They suck everything out in ONE GOSH DARN NIGHT. I buy a whole bunch at a time and go through probably five packets a month and I've never been happier, and I've never had such clear skin. All you have to do is wash your face and stick the dots on before bed. I stick them wherever I see the red starting, feel that 'oh it's a big one' pain under my skin, or where whiteheads have already started." — Danielle Get two packs of 24 from Amazon for $7.19 (available in five pack sizes). 21. A ~juicy~ Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask that this reviewer with adult acne and scarring calls "pure magic." Here's the rundown: it's got 2.5% pH-balanced AHA complex for gentle exfoliation, seven weights of hyaluronic acid for *intense* plumping and hydration, peptides derived from quinoa for visible firmness, and niacinamide for bright, evenly toned skin. It'll quench your skin like no other for that post-facial ✨glow✨. Sephora Promising review: "I've been using this for a few weeks now and I'm in love with it and the results it provides! Glow recipe is one of my favorite brands so I was so excited about this launch! This is a magic product which literally works overnight! It's helps the skin exfoliate, hydrate and brighten! You instantly see results the next day! It's definitely a must for me and I would recommend this to all skin types!" — sidrahwhoa Get it from Sephora for $21+ (available in two sizes). 22. A luxe Medicube facial device — a high-tech K-beauty tool (which is used by Hailey Bieber!) that'll help you truly elevate your whole skincare game. This helpful little tool stimulates your skin to create electro-passageways so your skincare penetrates more deeply, leaving it plumper and brighter. Now you'll *actually* be able to achieve that "glass skin" look that you were hoping to get from that $50 serum you splurged on. I *highly* recommend watching this TikTok, where the creator's 45-year-old mom (who looks unbelievably youthful) is using this device along with her other skincare products (mostly from Medicube, a Korean brand) to help them soak in for maximum effect! Psst: You can get the other products mentioned in that vid on Amazon too if you're interested in replicating her routine: the Deep Vita C pads, The Lab's hyaluronic acid toner, the Deep Vita C serum, the peptide eye cream, and the collagen jelly cream. The reviewer whose before/after is shown above used the device once a day for almost two months, and is wearing no makeup in either pic. Promising review: " Best splurge! This device definitely helped me with product absorption, and I have seen such a huge difference in my face since starting to use it. I no longer have flaky, dull skin & my pores definitely look a lot better since they're more hydrated now. When I wake up in the morning after using this device, my face feels light instead of heavy from the previous night's skincare. I definitely think it's worth the $$$ if your skin doesn't easily absorb your products like mine (I have sensitive, dehydrated skin and only use a toner, serum, and moisturizer for my routine)." — K Get it from Amazon for $87.85. 23. A Some by Mi Miracle toner with chemical exfoliants as well as tea tree, papaya, and witch hazel extract to remove dead skin cells while helping your skin look more hydrated and radiant in just 30 days. Many reviewers say it's perfect for both oily and sensitive skin! After cleansing, soak your cotton pad with the toner, gently wipe your face, and lightly tap for absorption. Follow with moisturizer! Promising review:"I have pretty bad eczema and sensitive skin so I was a little worried about it, but this was probably one of the best decision I've made in a long time. I've been using this toner for over a month now. I use it twice a day. My face has improved 110%. It removed dirt even after washing my face & I haven't had any serious breakouts or skin bumps since. I have more confidence in my natural face and am loving it! I would definitely recommend trying this out and seeing if it's right for you. 10/10 would buy again." — MintyKiss Get it from Amazon for $10.43 (also available as a two-pack). 24. A Son & Park beauty water to brighten your skin tone and smooth your texture. It's infused with willow bark and papaya that mildly exfoliates, and lavender flower extract, orange fruit extract, and rose water that refreshes, soothes, and helps reset your skin's natural pH level. It's smooth sailing for your skin from now on (literally!). Soko Glam Promising review:"This is my fourth bottle, and I don't think I'll be switching toner any time soon. It's an amazing toner and makeup remover all in one — super easy and convenient! I can tell this is a great product by the way my skin feels afterward: clean, light, and not dry at all. I swear by this toner!! You won't be disappointed, I promise." — Lindsay Get it from Soko Glam for $25 or get it from Amazon for $27.99. 25. A cooling, calming cream by Dear, Klairs that uses ceramide 3 and centella asiatica extract to soothe irritation and even out your skin tone. A reviewer with rosacea says it's got to be witchcraft! You can also use it as after-sun care to help calm redness and sunburnt areas. The picture on the left (shown above) is of a reviewer with severe rosacea and the picture on the right is of the results after only four times of applying less than a dime-sized amount of the cream to their face! Promising reviews:"I've been using this for almost two months. I started because my skin got super red and sensitive from over exfoliation. This has made a world of the difference. I can tell you that it doesn't work quick. I started seeing small results within two weeks and just about two months later, I only have redness where I extract blackheads and it doesn't linger! It's meant for spot treating redness from irritation or acne scars. This is definitely part of my everyday routine and I'm just about done with my tub, I'll be buying a new one when this one runs out!" — CJD Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes).

If You Get Slightly Obsessive When Cleaning, These 33 Products Will Give You Thorough, Immediate Results
1. A pressure washer — it's extremely satisfying to spend an afternoon blasting off years of built-up gunk from your windows, deck, fence, and concrete. This one's electric, so you simply plug in its 35-foot cord and go, no hassling with gasoline or its nasty fumes. Promising review:"This has been a great addition to our cleaning regime. We wash cars, sidewalks, and backyard pool areas. Today I am cleaning my outdoor BBQ and can't wait to get started. It is easy to use and set up and cleans everything easily. The canister is easy to pull around and never tips over due to its unique wheel design. I highly recommend this product." — Caroline Leary Get it from Amazon for $124.56+ (available in eight styles, from 2100–3400 Max PSI). 2. Some under-$7/bottle(!!) Purple Power Industrial Strength Degreaser because when you need to tackle a super big, tough cleaning job — like blasting through disgusting road grease on your car wheels or the thick oily buildup on your kitchen exhaust fan's filter — you want something that requires basically no scrubbing. Dilute it according to the instructions, apply to your surface, and wait for your jaw to drop. While it's excellent for the heavy duty problems, it is a tad harsh, so always test in a hidden area before using it on painted surfaces or fabrics. Promising review: "This stuff is like magic. I had used another brand always before, and ended up trying this one out. I used to have to scrub with a metal brush. This seems to melt the oil stain off the driveway and I have to scrub way less. It doesn't leave any residue after washing off with water." — Clay H. Pinkerton Get a gallon of concentrate from Amazon for $6.97. Also available in an already-diluted spray bottle for $6.49. 3. A fur (and faux-fur) de-matting brush to rewind the clock on that matted, tangled, dirty fuzz on your favorite throw, pillow, chair, Ugg boots, or teddy bear coat so it once more looks exactly like the day you got it. That stuff can be $$$$, so it's worth it to take care of it. Hey Parents: This will bring well-loved stuffed animals back to soft touchable life! Promising review: "I got an expensive sheep hair chair from CB2. I thought I could just vacuum it but it wasn't removing the dust/dirt/lint bits and the seat was matting after six months of daily use. This cleaned and smoothed it out well. I got the suggestion from professional furniture restorers. It WILL remove some hairs, particularly if matted, but the hairs are often loose anyway. All dust/dirt/lint bits combed right out and it looks new again." — SH Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 4. An electric spin scrubber that scours on its own, so all you have to do is give it some soap to work with. Extendable handle to reach high and help prevent back pain from bending over? Check. Three speeds? Check. Rechargeable 90-minute battery life? Check. Four brush attachments and four scrubber attachments to tackle any task? Check. You also get a mesh bag for all those brushes and a hook for storing the scrubber. A little screen shows you the speed and battery percentage! Promising review: "This electric spin scrubber has completely transformed my cleaning routine! The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the three adjustable speeds provide the perfect amount of power for different surfaces. I love the eight replaceable brush heads — there's a perfect one for every cleaning task, from the shower to kitchen tiles. The adjustable long handle is a game-changer for reaching high or low spots without straining my back. It's durable, easy to use, and makes deep cleaning effortless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and effort on household chores!" — ~Eddie~ Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors). 5. A bottle of food-grade mineral oil so after you give your much-beloved wood cutting boards and kitchen tools a regular wash with soap, you can finish the job and restore them to their original rich luster too. Wipe it on, and ta-da! What a difference. Promising reviews: "Best ever! Saw this in a BuzzFeed article and decided to give it a try and I do not regret it. My board looks beautiful, and my knives and scissors are back to their original condition." — ares "We've been using Thirteen Chefs Mineral Oil on all our hardwood cutting boards, and it's been fantastic! It keeps the wood nourished, prevents it from drying out, and gives the boards a beautiful, smooth finish. It's easy to apply and doesn't leave any greasy residue. This mineral oil has become a must-have for maintaining our kitchen tools!" — Perfect Cents Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 6. A shoe cleaner literally called Pink Miracle since that's just how well it works! If your spring shoes from 2024 are covered in dirt but otherwise still have hundreds of wears in them, skip spending $$$ on new shoes. Instead, make last year's look brand-new again in just five minutes with this stuff. It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes). 7. An under-$5 window track cleaning brush specifically designed for getting deep down in those gross crevices thanks to narrow bristles on one end, an easy-hold middle handle, and a narrow scraper on the other end. Pair with your favorite all-purpose cleaner and some paper towels to wipe, and in less than five minutes, say "bye" to the eyesore! Promising review: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." — Bonzarelli Get a pack of two from Amazon for $4.99 (available in 5 color combos). 8. A rechargeable air blaster so you can clear the thick layer of dust, dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from all those finnicky little buttons in your car's dash with a couple of quick button presses. It's better than putty or slime because air leaves no residue and it's better than canned air because it's reusable! It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home INVEST IN THIS!!" — S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 9. An almond-scented wood polish and cleaner to both bust through the layers of dirt and hard water buildup on your most-used kitchen cabinets and condition the wood and finish so they gleam in one fell swoop. *mic drop* Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:"I didn't realize how 'thirsty' my furniture was until I used this product. It made my dining table look great (and it is 20-years-old and used daily). Also, it applies easily and doesn't leave streaks. Highly recommend!" — Keri Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 10. A vinyl record cleaning kit — sure it's niche, but if you have a collection you use regularly, you know how dust can buildup on them and affect the audio quality. And if you're somewhat obsessive about cleaning, you're gonna want this specialty brush kit so your records, needle, and turntable all come out spick-and-span. The kit includes the pictured velvet record brush, a spray bottle of record cleaner, a stylus brush for the needle, and a small bristled cleaning brush for cleaning the dust off the velvet brush. Promising review: "I bought this kit immediately after getting some vinyls and a record player. I'm so impressed with how well it cleans! I should've taken pictures of what came off of the visibly dirty vinyls (a LOT of dust and a bit of cat hair). While you can make it harder for yourself and clean it on a flat surface, you can simply put your record on the player and hold the brush in one place! It's so quick and works so well!! This was the help my vinyls so desperately needed to boost their audio quality!" — Susie W Get it from Amazon for $21.99. 11. A solvent-based cleaner for any upholstery or fabric you have that has an "S" on its cleaning tag: "W" means you should use a water-based cleaner, so "S" means solvent cleaners are best! Quit staring despairingly at that pink strawberry milk stain that's graced your heirloom chair for over a year this to make it disappear like *abracadabra*. Any marked with a "W/S" means you can use either, of course. Promising review:"Extremely effective. I own a furniture store. We purposely spread some butter, french fry grease, and pomegranate juice on a Clean Code "S" fabric swatch, and let it sit for a day. Then we put on gloves, put some fluid on a small part of a rag, dabbed at the spill (didn't rub into it), which disintegrated the spill. Did this a few times, and lightly scraped sideways over the spill. You can't even see where the spills were. We keep this swatch on our desk when we write up our sales orders. Every one of our customers who buys a fabric sofa or chair, that has code S fabric, buys one of these or else we include it for free. I ordered a case for our stock." — J. Rasmussen Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.50. 12. A jewelry cleaning kit because it comes complete with everything you need to get your entire collection clean in a single pass so you don't spend hours trying to get that sparkle back: a silver polishing cloth to rub away tarnish, a stone cleaner solution to dissolve gunk and grime, and a detail brush to make quick work of stubborn spots. Thank you, basic chemistry, for making it so, so easy. It's effective and safe for all metals and stones, including costume jewelry. Just skip it for your pearls; those you should only clean with a damp soft cloth. Promising review: "I didn't take care of my Pandora bracelet and it became very tarnished. I used this product one time and it literally worked like a magic eraser but for jewelry! The solution didn't have a smell, it was very easy to use. Everything shown came as described." — Josiphine Casarez Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 13. Or some silver polishing wipes if that's the majority of your jewelry collection, or you have some silver candlesticks, your grandmother's silver pitcher, or other antique or shiny valuables you want to revive. Simply rub one of these in circles to watch the tarnish disappear like whoa. It's safe to use on silver, gold, brass, and silver-plated metals like aluminum! Promising review: "Before, my jewelry was so dusty and crusty that my jewelry box was like a doom box where rings and necklaces went to die. It was SO satisfying to do. I recommend wearing gloves, though. I was so excited to try the wipes that I went at it bare-handed, and after one necklace, my fingers were uncomfortably dry. Slid on some gloves, and the rest was a breeze. 10/10 recommend." — Sarah Get a pack of 20 wipes from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a 40-pack). 14. An extra large MagicFiber microfiber cleaning cloth that's exactly like the tiny cleaning cloths that come with your laptop and phone, except HUGE. I'm talking 16 x 16 inches. It'll literally make fingerprints, smears, and dirt on your treasured TV vanish immediately, so you won't spend ten minutes looking at the screen from every possible angle to ensure no gunk remains. A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane Get a three pack from Amazon for $14.99. 15. A set of reusable, extra-thick microfiber mop pads for nabbing entire neighborhoods of dust bunnies in a single swipe when used dry, and wiping up dried mud, pasta sauce, or whatever everyday gunk's gracing your wood, tile, and other hard floors when used wet. Designed to fit snugly on your Swiffer and wash effortlessly in the laundry, you'll cut down on single-use pad waste, especially if you dust-mop daily. You'll cut down on single-use pad waste while making everyday cleaning about ten billion times easier. Promising review: "A truly great eco-friendly cleaning product! These clean like magic! So much better than the wasteful disposables. Another plus: they clean with just water so no unpleasant artificial cleaning smell." — Sarah D Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.49. 16. Some Goo Gone because it gives you the power at your fingertips to quickly and painlessly remove mysterious sticky substances, pretty much wherever you find them. Duct tape gunk on the wall? So long. Sticker muck on your car or fridge or floor? Farewell. Cooked on grease at the bottom of a skillet? Auf wiedersehen. Chewed bubblegum on your couch cushion? Goodnight (to the stain). I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I had previously bought some other adhesive remover which was so pungent. This stuff worked better than that at removing adhesive residue. The residue came off effortlessly by wiping with a cloth wetted with the fluid. AND: no discernible smell whatsoever. Just MAGIC." — AH Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.97 (they also make a spray-on version for $19.98). 17. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets featuring citric acid to dissolve that gray-looking mineral buildup, wash away lingering grease, and leave behind nothing but a lovely lemony scent and shiny, new-looking stainless steel. Close the dishwasher door, run a cycle with a tablet, and voila! Use one monthly to maintain the shine and avoid future buildup! Promising reviews: "Finally bought these after struggling with a very smelly dishwasher. I followed the instructions and on the first round put 2 tablets in and WOW no more smell. And not only did it work immediately but now I've gone weeks with no return of the smell either! Can't recommend enough." — Madison Bean "I thought our dishwasher was just old and didn't clean well due to the hard water. But, when I gave these a try, I immediately had clean dishes without spots." — Rebecca Park Totilo Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $18.95. 18. A handheld steam cleaner that's the closest you can get to pointing to an object, exclaiming "clean thyself!" and watching the grime dissipate before your very eyes. Why? It does the job with JUST WATER, no solvents or surfactants. Sure, it may take a little more effort than using the nonwater chemicals, but if those irritate you, go with this for impressive results. Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily. Plus, no chemicals needed, which I really like. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 19. A leather stain remover spray because even though leather's usually relatively stain resistant, years with kids, pets, spouses, or just our own messy selves eventually take their toll on car leather, leather furniture, and even leather purses. Nab this to zap away all those marker drawings, queso drip remnants, and built-up skin oils with a simple spritz and wipe. This also works on durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux and other leather or leather-like surfaces. Promising reviews:"Was skeptical using this product on my favorite Celine bag, so I tested it out on a stain on the bottom of my bag just in case something bad happened. It quickly removed that stain and I continued to use the spray on a stain I got from my black jeans. Like magic the stain was gone and my bag has been restored! Would definitely recommend!" — Sarah P. Get it and a microfiber cloth from Amazon for $19.98. 20. A tub of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste so you can instantly shine or de-gunk dozens of different surfaces without having to scrub for hours *or* worry about scratching your chrome, marble, porcelain, wood, glass shower door or stove top, or stainless steel. No need to go over the same spot again and again and again when this gets it the first time! Promising reviews:"I have very hard water in my apartment and the hard water stains and soap scum are so hard to clean in my bathroom. I've used Magic Erasers, several different types of soap scum cleaners, industrial bleach, etc. The instant I rubbed the pink stuff on the hard water stains in my tub, they came off immediately with hardly any elbow grease. It barely took any effort and soap scum and hard water stains just rubbed away instantly. I highly recommend it!!" — Seven " I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT that good. It's better than good. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 21. A soft cleanser that, with very little effort on your part, will banish years of built-up hard water stains on tile or glass, truly transforming your shower right before your eyes and satisfying your deep need to quickly but thoroughly melt away every last little calcium stain. Promising review:"This cleaner works magic on our glass shower doors! Removes stubborn hard water stains like no other cleaner. I just rubbed it on with a damp sponge, let it sit a few minutes then rinsed with the shower head. I must say the price is a little inflated here but I'm just happy the product works as great as it does!" — FitDaddy Get two bottles from Amazon for $13. 22. A Baseboard Buddy — it's designed specifically to pick up all the grime from the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies like baseboards, moldings, and grates in one quick wipe, zero bending over or crawling on your hands and knees required. Satisfy your week-long baseboard botheration: simply walk around your house holding this next to you, and *poof*! Dust is gone! It includes three washable, reusable pads that you can use wet or dry. One reviewer who's over 65 swears by it because it's so difficult for them to get up and down! Promising reviews: "Works like magic. Finally I don't have to crawl around the floor to clean the baseboards." — Kelly tomolonis "Easy to use and care for! By far the best investment I've made as a professional cleaner. No more needing to bend over and hurt my back and knees! Washing the cleaning pads is also super easy and convenient!" — Y&M Rico Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 23. A tub of 90 oversize heavy-duty cleaning wipes perfect for tough jobs big and small. You know that grease and dust wasteland on the stove hood? This reviewer says these wiped that off "like it was nothing." And this reviewer says it "removed a level of grime that looked like had been there for years" on their outdoor table that had been hosed down already. It only takes a few swipes to remove grease, oil, tar, ink, paint, permanent marker, food stains, and so much more from all kinds of surfaces like fabric, carpet, leather, and painted walls. Promising review:"Magical. Look no further. These wipes got — no joke — 50 year-old tape goop off of the walls in our home's laundry room. I have a wall in my kitchen that my big dog likes to lay against and I have never been able to get it 100% clean. These wipes made it look like I put a fresh coat of paint on the wall. Get these for anything you need to clean that you thought was hopeless. You won't regret it!" — Joy Get a tub from Amazon for $14.98. 24. A pumice stone to vanquish those built-up hard water stains without using up all your spare energy for the day. If your toilets look like the one below, this should 1,000% become a staple in your cleaning routine. Bleach and other typical cleaners won't make a dent on the dried minerals, but this will! Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time which regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. Pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching. Am very happy with this worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree Get one from Amazon for $12.99. 25. A bottle of EcoTools makeup brush and sponge shampoo to vanish all the embedded layers of foundation, contour, concealer, powder, and eye makeup on your favorite applicator like it was never there. When the rest of the bathroom sparkles, you gotta get your makeup brushes sparkling, too. And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time. (Oh, and it's cruelty-free.) Promising review:"Cleans like magic. My mind is blown at well this soap works. I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough but could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I'm a convert." — ss3745 Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 26. A squeegee broom so you can extract years' worth of built-up, embedded pet hair from your carpet and rugs like you're The Queen of Cleaning Fairies herself. Can you believe the German Shepard owner who took this pic uses a Dyson pet vac — and THAT is how much hair the broom got that the vacuum didn't?? One of our readers owns this and loves it so much they commented about it: "I bought the squeegee broom and it did wonders for getting hair (both mine and my cats) out of the carpet, carpet looks great now!" — socks1234, from this roundup of hall-of-fame products It features rubber bristles along one edge, and if you flip it, a wide rubber squeegee on the other — some reviewers find the squeegee side is more effective on carpet than the bristles, so could be worth a try! Oh, and the handle telescopes 36–60 inches, so you can store it easily but also like, use it to squeegee off high windows if necessary. Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in compact and heavy duty versions). 27. A pack of Bottle Bright fizzing cleaning tablets — you simply drop one into almost any seemingly permanently stained travel mug or stainless water bottle to banish built-up stains without scrubbing even one little bit. Yes, even the mug you've entrusted with your black coffee to for two years now and only really rinsed out with water the whole time. Promising reviews: "My Yeti tumblers are used for tea. Every day. I've been using them for years. And there is a disgusting build up that I can never scrub off, not even with a magic eraser (its tannins). These are magical little nuggets of cleaning. My Yeti that is 5+ years old and had 5+ years of tea tannins built up is now sparkling clean like it was brand new!! I put boiling hot water in each cup, dropped in the magical nugget, and let it sit over night. A good scrub and I could sell this as an unused Yeti tumbler!! Worth the money and time!!!" — B.J. Claywell Get a box of 12 tablets from Amazon for $8. 28. And a brush spinner so you can get every last bit of makeup out of even the dirtiest brushes AND dry 'em — all in less than a minute. It's so quick, easy, and thorough, it'll instantly please your desire for perfection. You charge up the wand with a USB, put your brush in the wand, and choose one of three different speeds to spin it clean in a pretty little glass bowl. Promising Reviews:"Love this thing! It is amazing and works just as described. It cleans AND dries brushes in seconds!! Dense brushes take a little longer to dry, you just have to let them spin a little longer but it's far better then the day to two drying time I used to deal with. I can use them again immediately after because the brushes are spun completely dry! I used to completely dread cleaning my brushes. Now it's so easy that I do it frequently. Totally worth the investment for someone who hates cleaning their brushes like I did. I've recommended it to others and they love it too!" — "This is such a gem. I found this via BuzzFeed and quickly ordered it. It's cleans and instantly dries your brushes. It doesn't get more convenient than this!!" — Najmah H Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 29. A window screen and screen door cleaning brush because it's designed with hundreds of tiny little brushes that scrub-a-dub into each and every of those million little holes, disappearing all the grime so fast and efficiently, you won't find dirt left behind when you carefully inspect. Amazon Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! and works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small motor home screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah where the red dirt/dust is everywhere and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen." — KarenLynn Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 30. A automatic scrubbing brush so you can just lazily move it back and forth over whatever stubborn, sticky, rubbed-in mess you're cleaning up this time while it scrubs up to *60 times each second* for you. It's like a giant electric toothbrush, but y'all, I own one, have used it consistently since 2018, and it REALLY works. You literally see the dirt come up and the grout lighten with just 30 seconds of use. Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed, Grout, tough mold, mystery sticky stuff, and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance. They make a specialty grout head you can buy for it, but TBH the default brush works just as well, unless you have incredibly narrow grout lines. Promising review:"One of my favorite products of the year. Strongly recommended. Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail. I tell you it's simple and works like magic and the grout in my 10-year-old bathroom tile floors has been restored to as new condition. I could not possibly recommend this thing more highly." — Mr. helper Get it from Amazon for $19.63. If you want even more info, check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber Review. 31. A microfiber duster to replace all other dusters in your life, because it attracts and holds onto dust like a *magnet* instead of brushing it into the air just to settle again later. Actually getting rid of the dust is THE key to a home that needs less dusting. Go ahead, dust every last little surface in your home, marveling at how it picks up every speck. This one from Oxo is very thin so it can squeeze into tight crevices. To clean it you just run it through a gentle cycle in the washer and air-dry. You can buy extra covers for $12.99 each and a long-handled version for $17.99. Promising reviews: "My housekeeper loves this for dusting. Easy to toss in the wash." — PT " I hate dusting. I normally would go through many paper towels or rags just to dust around the house. It was such a pain in the neck. After buying this, my dusting days have become much easier! I simply dust and then toss the microfiber part in the washer. It doesn't fall apart in the wash either. Works beautifully!" — PCamps Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 32. A stainless steel cleaner and polish that I suspect will work both *faster* and *better* than pretty much any other stainless steel cleaner you've tried — because it did for my mom AND the 13,000 other people who have left 5-star ratings. I used it myself to obsessively clean my stainless fridge yesterday, and it effortlessly erased finger prints, food drips, and a ton of stubborn mystery stuck-on black stuff from the last tenant. My mom tried like, three or four different stainless cleaners before I showed her this one, and y'all: she swears by it because it's easier and faster to use than the others, and makes all of her stainless appliances SO SHINY! Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:" Where this cleans just as well as others, it streaks less thus taking less time to use. It does smell good, but even better, it actually protects your appliances from getting fingerprints again so quickly! I have spent an hour cleaning all my appliances just to have prints again as soon as kids are home. This cleaner has kept my appliances smudge free for over a week! It's magical!" — JenniK Get a bottle and a streak-free cloth from Amazon for $19.95. 33. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, which you absolutely NEED if your cat, dog, or toddler causes 99% of your big problem SMELLY STAINS. Think pee, poop, and vomit funk specifically. Even if there's not a stain but there's still a lingering wet dog smell on your couch, this stuff will make it go *poof*. Angry Orange, a small biz started in 2014, makes all kinds of supplies to clean up after your pets! Promising reviews:"I decided to buy this product after reading the reviews. I bought it because we have four big, BIG, HAIRY dogs that think they are Chichuahuas and should be inside all the time, and I'm very self-conscious of their smell any time someone comes to our house. I vacuum everyday, and I use carpet deodorizers often, but still... there is always a faint dog "scent" that remains. Angry Orange smells very orangey (of course!) when you apply it, but the scent doesn't last long. When it fades, it takes with it the dog scent also. It doesn't mask it, like other products, it takes it away!!! I have a couple of family members that have very good noses and who are very vocal and opinionated, and even they said that they could not smell dogs after using this magical concoction." — Miriam B Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).

36 Beauty Products To Keep That Summer Glow Going Even During The Bitter Cold Months
1. A Beauty of Joseon serum if you're a real glow getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help you maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture. Beauty of Joseon is a South Korean skincare brand based in Jongno-gu, Seoul. I've been using this serum for about six months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there's different options for different skin concerns) and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plumped and radiant! Promising review:"From the moment I started using this serum I saw results! The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly without worrying about it disrupting my makeup or other skincare products. The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is the price. I think it's a bit expensive for the amount of product you get. However, it's so good that I'll still leave it at 8/5 stars!" — Yuna Lee Get it from Amazon for $16.58. 2. A TikTok viral overnight collagen mask that has taken over my entire FYP for weeks — and now I see why! Give your skin a big ole' drink of water with this probiotic-packed mask, which starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask, and as the hours go by, it gradually turns clear, signaling that it's working its magic on your skin. It'll not only strengthen your skin's barrier and improve elasticity, but it'll also refine the appearance of large pores and help smooth out fine lines. Many reviewers also say it's surprisingly comfortable to sleep in! Check out a TikTok of this mask in action. Promising review: "Oh…my god….🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight , woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like a had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks. <3" — Kichi Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in two pack sizes and three styles). 3. A glow-enhancing Supergoop SPF 40 sunscreen because it'll have you looking downright luminous. 😍 It acts as a sunscreen, primer, and BB cream with a light formula that protects you against harmful rays and blue light. Promising reviews:"This was a splurge for me but worth it. Love the way this feels on my skin. Smooth application." — Caj9410 "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I'm always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren't usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. For reference, I have combination, 30-something-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." — Lovely91 Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and four shades). 4. Or a Korean SPF 50+ Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Airyfit Sunscreen that blends into your skin like a dream and is chock-full of powerful ingredients like niacinamide and rice bran oil infused with black rice (a hydrating antioxidant)! It's also enriched with ceramide NP, soothing houttuynia cordata extract, and daisy flower extracts that help reduce pigmintation and deliver that radiant skin tone. Promising review:"Although I am not overly sensitive to cosmetic products, I have a love-hate relationship with sunscreens. I (used to?) have terrible sun rash when using sunscreen. But this sunscreen is magic. I love its texture; it doesn't emphasize my pores at all and serves really well as a primer under my foundation. I have very oily skin and this doesn't make me more oily. I really like that it does not have any smell. It doesn't burn my eyes. It has a pleasant texture and leaves no white cast. I haven't deliberately tried to sunbathe with it, I am still trying to be in the sun as little as possible (since I already have some sun damage on my neck) but I am using it for a couple of weeks every day, even when doing sports and haven't noticed anything suspicious." — ice29 Get it from Amazon for $15.40 (also available as a two-pack). 5.

Good Molecules is a small biz that creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients. Promising review:"I'm really pleased with the results and it's gentle enough to use nightly. My lines are softer and less noticeable, my pores are clear and less visible. My skin is so, so, soft and hydrated now. THIS IS THE PERFECT FORMULA. No bad smells, spreads easily and is an outstanding value. I'm on my third tube." — Helen M. Get it from Amazon for $8. 6. E.l.f.'s Halo Glow Liquid Filter reviewers are hailing for giving them a lit-from-within glow that doubles as compliment bait. This lightweight, buildable formula is infused with hydrating squalane for a dewy, radiant finish. Plus, its cushion tip helps you apply to the high points of your face with precision and ease.

Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin!

This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury's 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 $9.26+ (available in 12 shades). 7. A Bare Botanics coconut vanilla body scrub to banish all the dead skin that dares to stop you from showing off your glorious, gleaming skin.

Promising review:"I have to say that for the first time ever, a product delivers on everything it said it would do and more!! I've used it once and my skin is transformed, nourished, and hydrated. My skin doesn't have that dry, rough look anymore. The rough skin on my arms is like 90% gone. The ingredients are pure and organic. I have told so many people. I'm thrilled I came across this product. I can't wait to see what happens when it's a week. I'm glowing with healthy-looking skin!! Feels amazing and the coconut vanilla organic scent is so calming and fragrant. You will be very pleased!!" — Becky Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in seven styles). 8. A hydrating snail mucin-repairing essence that will soothe and rejuvenate your skin so effectively that it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 61,000 5-star ratings! And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed! I've personally been using this for months now and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after see how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying "gimme gimme gimme!!". Promising review:"I've been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn't sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it's a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it's helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I've noticed my red spots from past acne is fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!" — Sarah Downs Get it from Amazon for $18.38. 9. And a Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer, a lightweight gel-type cream that'll help soothe dry, irritated skin and strengthen your skin barrier by enriching it with the long-lasting hydration it's been begging for. Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I fought buying this, but after several friends swore by this I caved. I have sensitive acne prone skin but also have some fine lines. Let me tell you after applying this I immediately felt my skin calm down. And the next day my skin was glowing and my acne had diminished. This will forever be apart of my regimen." — arand5292 Get it from Amazon for $21. 10. An Anua pore control cleansing oil because it uses the calming powers of heartleaf oil to soothe irritated skin and eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate into a double cleansing routine!

Amazon Promising review:"I love the glowy/dewy look. I looked through so many different product reviews, videos, etc, and finally decided to try two products, and this was one of them. I love how it looks alone *and* mixed in with lotion or foundation. I also love how it looks when you put a little dab along the cheekbones as a highlighter.

And I will always recommend this to anyone. I use it twice a day, in the morning as the last step before my makeup routine and at night before moisturizer!

This lip gloss goes on thick like a luxe gloss, but smooth like an oil. Lots of slip on the lip and absolutely zero stickiness.

A bottle of Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Exfoliant with salicylic acid that penetrates your pores to help catch breakouts before they reach the surface. And bonus! Its green tea leaf extract quickly calms redness and soothes skin sensitivity. Promising review: "OMG the first time I used this I did not have high hopes, it looks and feels basically like water. I was thinking what a waste of money, but I put it on and tried it anyway because all of the super beautiful TikTokers told me I got out of bed the next morning and was like who dis???

For a radiant complexion and a versatile addition to your beauty routine, this cream is a must-have!" — Pranav Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in three sizes). 22. A so-dang-good Coco & Eve foam self-tanner because it'll give you some downright magical results. With this, you don't need it to be sunny season to look like a bronzed god/goddess that belongs on a beach somewhere sipping on a piña colada without a care in the world. It's super fast-drying and develops in about two hours! Promising review: "I've used tanning beds for a couple of years, I know they're bad, I just HATE self tanning or spray tans and their results. Therefore, I didn't think this product would be anything special, but I'm desperate to be tan all the time. I applied it with a mitt, let it sit overnight, and rinsed it off the next morning. AMAZING natural results. NO STREAKS! I also work out frequently, sauna and everything, and it doesn't melt off or look spotty. 10/10 and will be using all the time. I got the color 'dark' and it worked perfectly. But next time, I might get Ultra dark! Love it. Makes me feel confident, I'm never using a tanning bed again." — Larrisa D.

You know they couldn't miss with that — it's got notes of Brazilian jasmine, pink dragonfruit, and sheer vanilla. 😍 Amazon Promising reviews:"With this moisturizer, a small amount goes quite far. I needed a good moisturizer for my body and this really does the trick. It is thick and rich and seems to keep my skin soft all day. The scent is not overpowering, but is really pleasant. I will continue to use this one, especially for winter months." — Gloria Reed "I have been using this creme for several days and it is fantastic. Use sparingly, it glides on wonderfully.

Many reviewers also enjoy pairing this with the AGE-R Booster Pro and say that this helps them achieve the *ultimate* glass skin look! Promising review:"I've been using the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream with their AGE-R Booster Pro, and the results have been incredible! The jelly cream has a lightweight, refreshing texture that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue.

Amazon Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick." Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in pink honey!). 28.

Thin, fine haired people may not want to use hair oils but people with thick and textured hair, this is an absolutely wonderful product and worth every cent. A bottle lasts a long time. Bonus: No nasty silicones." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.20+ (available in two sizes). 33. Youth to the People's vegan Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask because it features four ultra-hydrating ingredients: squalane, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and betaine. PLUS maqui and prickly pear — two super fruits that fend off free radicals and eliminate redness. Youth to the People, The rich, creamy overnight mask is a great fit for combination, dry, and "normal" (whatever that means!), skin so give it a go! Promising review: "I was really struggling to find skincare products that worked well for my skin. This has greatly improved the overall appearance of my skin and I will definitely buy again. Super moisturizing but also lightweight. My skin is glowing! I hardly break out anymore, so I wonder if my previous moisturizers may have been causing issues I didn't realize." — Bethany M. Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes). 34. A redness-reducing Snail Bee High Content Essence that you're sure to be ~buzzing~ about, especially if you're looking for something that will help your foundation glide on and really lock in the rest of your skincare routine. It's so hydrating and soothing that reviewers notice a difference in their skin's tone and texture after just one use! Note: this formula includes small traces of bee venom, so patch test before use! Promising review:"I have only been using this product for a day and a half, and it zapped the redness from my skin! I tried on some foundation the other day and noticed a wild amount of texture, redness peeping through under primer, and general crustiness and was like, 'I gotta do something about this!' I started my new skin routine about a week ago and just felt something was missing, this Benton Snail Bee was added to my existing routine and wow, did I get some results quick! I'll absolutely be exploring more moisturizing products from Benton to add to my routine." — Apple S. Get it from Amazon for $15.30. 35. Summer Fridays' Jet Lag Mask, because it's a total lifesaver for that long plane ride you've got coming up, but it can most certainly be used every day, too (and trust me, you'll want to)! The glycerin, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid formula help your skin soak up and hold onto moisture for plumper, radiant skin. Sephora Promising review:"This stuff is amazing. I use it both as an overnight mask and as a moisturizer on the days when I need a serious 'pick me up.' You can see the difference instantly — glowing and hydrated skin. I am buying it in bulk." — funnyanchika Get it from Amazon or from Sephora for $26+ (available in two sizes). 36. A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush that reviewers are raving about for how high-pigmented and blendable the colors are. The utterly soft and dewy effect this bb has on your skin will have you daydreaming in all different shades of pink. Very Rare Beauty-esque, some might say! 👀 Promising review: "Creamy and blendable. These are great blushes and have lots of pigmentation. Very creamy and has a smooth application on the skin! It is a great [alternative] to the Rare Beauty blush. It lasted me the whole day and did not melt off. It has a lot of coverage and does not need too much when applying." — Harsh Argawal Get it from Amazon for $6.39+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in nine shades and in sets).
