50 Products That Provide Legit Results (And Have The Photos To Prove It)
1. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating LilyAna's eye cream that'll halt all annoying comments about how tired you look. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake).
Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M.
2. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all.
This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stains on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreatment before shampooing, and most often, the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say 'gone'…I mean, GONE! And that's with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I'd buy it again is such an understatement. I can't be without it!!" — Angela Raab

3. A compact 4-in-1 suede and leather brush that'll get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home!
This 4-in-1 brush features rubber bristles to gently and effectively remove dirt, a thin welt brush for narrow crevices, a rounded welt brush, and a nylon/metal bristled brush for maximum strength on those extra tough stains.
Promising reviews:"This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even the ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." — TRW
" This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it in the same direction until the stains wore off." — Lissette Castillo
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four styles).
4. An antifungal tea tree balm to help treat things like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, or even just dry skin. Essentially, if you've got an itchy skin condition, this is something you *need* in your bathroom cabinet. This wonder balm truly is wonder ful!

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

5. And Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that's stacked with effective ingredients like aloe, mint, and (of course) tea tree to help with those common skin irritations and rashes you haven't been able to escape since using the wrong laundry detergent one time. Reviewers say that it smells great too, thanks to the coconut, olive, and jojoba oils!

Promising reviews:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using. Love the fresh smell. Also helped an eczema breakout." — KJeanine ATL

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
6. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because it's easier, cheaper, and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes *cough* Crest Whitestrips *cough*. With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done.
Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school, but this product has been such a lifesaver! 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 about getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are, but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of two or four).
7. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff (and their latest Squeezy cleaning sponge!) for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.
Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the 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 (available in two sizes)
8. Plus The Miracle Multi-Purpose Cleaner from the same brand! This cleaning gem *literally* has parents (of pets and humans) in awe of how powerful and versatile this spray's cleaning is. It will tackle the grease and oil stains on the kitchen counter, dirty paw prints on the windows, and grime on your shower wall. Talk about multi-purpose.
Promising reviews:"The best cleaning product I own now. Removed soap scum, gunk, and hard water stains. A much less offensive smell than Clorox cleaners and honestly does a MUCH better job. I will be buying more products from this brand asap." — J. Rabalais
"This product is my go-to for cleaning my kitchen, bathroom, kids' toys; you name it! My hubby and I have five kids at home, and you can imagine how icky our kitchen table gets between meals. This spray cleaner works great, is a much safer alternative to use around our toddler, and smells great! I've used quite a few of this brand's other products and they're all keepers so far. Definitely a fan!" — Julie Auler
Get it from Amazon for $4.86+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
9. Stila's One-Step color-correcting facial serum that ingeniously blends vitamins, minerals, and color theory to help even your skin tone. All three work together to help reduce redness (that's the green), reduce dark purple under-eye circles (that's peach!), and give your skin an energized glow (that's lavender!).
The reviewer above used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn!
Promising review:"I think this is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it to anyone who fights facial redness. I sometimes wear it alone, but under cream foundation and light powder it works even better. I was totally amazed at how much it evened out my skin tone! And honestly I didn't think it could be done." — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in three shades).
10. A pack of light-dimming LED covers for those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye.
LightDims is a small biz based in Las Vegas.
Promising review:"I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured, what the heck. They came quickly, and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." — Kindle Customer
Get them from Amazon for $1.49.
11. Cult-favorite Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, a scrumptiously hydrating body cream that also provides temporary skin tightening thanks to its caffeine-infused formula. Plus, reviewers say that the salted caramel and vanilla scent smells DIVINE.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
12. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe off your makeup using *only* water! (Yes, you read that right.) The gentle fabric also has a microfiber blend specifically designed to clear gunk from your pores. If that's not brag-worthy magic, I don't know what is.
It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here.
Promising reviews:"Soft and easy to use. Been using this product for years, and hasn't failed me. Bought another for a friend to save them money from buying makeup wipes. Great on sensitive skin!" — Liz
"This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part, and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes, and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry, and it's perfect. I've been using it for over six months now, and it hasn't failed me at all; it's worth the money!!" — Sharmin Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 17 colors).
13. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away.
Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just spray, walk away for a few minutes, and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $11.14.
14. A fabric defuzzer to remove all those unwanted fuzzies, lint, and pilling from furniture and clothing. To use this easy tool, simply glide it over the area you want to fix!
This gadget is battery-operated and requires two AA batteries, which you can grab here!
Promising review:"This fabric shaver is fantastic. I got tired of my fleece hoodie developing fuzz balls under the sleeves, near the pockets, and around other 'rub' spots. I bought another highly rated one on Amazon, but it failed to work after just three hoodies...I got this one, and the results have been consistently impressive. to cut fuzzies even after about a month of use. Waaaaay better than the first one. It's easy to use, easy to empty, and it's easy on my wallet. I would highly recommend it." — Dennis Honse
15. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo that'll clean the sponges that touch your face every day! I shudder at the thought of these going unclean for months, but this shampoo will cleanse your brushes and blending sponges so easily, the long timespans of dirty makeup tools will be long gone. It can extend the life of your applicators *and* save you from irritated skin.
Promising review:" Best, most affordable brush and sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything, even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." — Lily
Get it from Amazon for $6.96 (available in two sizes).
16. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder because it's a non-aerosol, travel-friendly dry shampoo that'll give you the illusion of clean, ungreasy hair in a matter of seconds. Keep this in your bag for when you're in need of a luscious locks pick-me-up.
Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" — Melanie Havert
Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in six shades, including transparent!).
17. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dander, hair, and terrifying buildup out of those bristles. Do you see that difference!? *Immediately adds to cart*
The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.
Promising review:"When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why; it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
18. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help treat *and* prevent painful razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. The annoying worry about irritating sensitive areas is about to go POOF!
Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can't prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "I have never had a product work better. Shaving 'down there' has given me many in-grown hairs over [the] years. As soon as you feel a bump starting, put this on once, and you will never have to worry again!" — Amazon Customer
"Until I started using Tend Skin, I had been a 60-year victim of razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hair. After using the product for a week bumps, burns, and ingrown hairs disappeared from my face. A fabulous product, I just ordered my third bottle." — Jon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
19. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while!
These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review:" I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle, and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." — Christine Doan
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
20. A fungal nail renewal treatment to help with brittle, thick, or discolored toenails that you've been side-eyeing for way too long. Reviewers have seen the appearance of their nails improve in as little as two days — so get on it *now*!
Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three 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 two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
21. Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil that hydrates skin and gently relieves the pain of our mistakes. Because as much as we try to remember, sometimes we forget to put on or reapply our sunscreen! Should we have to suffer with tender, sunburnt skin? Absolutely not.
Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!
Promising review: "I've been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica, I had it, and trust me when I tell you, it's saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun, you can use this, and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized. It will not hurt, and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." — Kenneth
Get it from Amazon for $10.
22. Mielle rosemary-mint hair-strengthening oil, a constant sell-out after going viral on TikTok! It's a biotin-infused hair-strengthening oil that helps smooth split ends, moisturize dry scalps, and deeply nourish 3A–4C hair. In other need to try it ASAP!
Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I will be buying this product forever and ever. I rarely get obsessed with a beauty/hair product, but this one really takes the cake. After having a pretty stressful 2022, I started to experience a lot of shedding. I naturally have a lot of thick hair, so I'm used to some natural shedding, but this was another level. I also experience buildup on my scalp, especially in the winter months. Within one bottle of using this, I noticed a HUGE difference. Not just from the way my hair felt but also because the buildup and dry spots on my scalp were no longer present. This also doesn't make my hair feel greasy or heavy, which some products can do!" — BMDS416
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
23. OR a sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll moisturize your scalp and help promote hair growth! Maybe it's magic, or maybe it's ingredients like biotin, keratin, and zinc that are known to work wonders for hair. As Chandler Bing would say: do you SEE that before and after!?
Reviewers with all types of hair (from fine 1a to long 3c and 4c hair) say this shampoo works wonders.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
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 I used 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 don't love 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 four sizes and three scents).
24. A toilet bowl ring remover, a lightly abrasive pumice stone that effectively cleans the porcelain throne — no harsh chemicals needed and no damage done. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done.
Promising review:"I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. I tried it this morning, and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring, and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." — Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
25. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)
Promising review:"I bought this after reading one of those BuzzFeed lists of like '27 products reviewers swear by' or whatever. The reviews and before/after pics had me curious but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years, and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains, but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle, you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and in several pack options).
26. A jade roller and gua sha set because it's a simple, easy-to-use beauty tool to add to your routine. The muscle-relaxing, fine line-reducing rose quartz is something that you can use while watching TV, reading, or after your nighttime routine.
This particular set from Baimei comes with both a jade roller and a gua sha. When used correctly, both are great for depuffing your face and having a soothing at-home facial massage. Many reviewers suggest throwing it in the fridge 10 minutes before you plan to use it for an extra refreshing and relaxing effect!
Promising reviews:"The roller is nice quality, it feels sturdy, and it doesn't squeak when you use it. I enjoy the smaller roller end for my eye area. It does help moisturizers and serums spread on better and soak in faster. The gua sha tool is also great. I can tell it's good quality and won't snap in half. I have been using it on the knots in my neck actually, giving myself a massage and putting pressure on the knots." — Laura
"Helps with oilier serums and feels amazing if you have sinus pressure!" — JSides
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three stones).

27. A liquid tartar remover which is basically just mouthwash for dogs. It's especially great for dogs who won't let a toothbrush near them. Simply add a bit to their water bowl and replenish when needed!
Promising review:"I have four dogs. My biggest dog has the worst bad breath. I've tried treats and other things, but nothing else has worked. Looking at alternatives, I came across dog mouthwash. The idea of drinking mouthwash is weird, but be my guest to teach your dog to swish and spit out. I've also bought Nylabone toys for my dogs and know they make great products. I've been using this mouthwash for all four of the dogs, and I have to say there has been quite an improvement in their breath and tarter buildup on their teeth. I put two capfuls in about 32 ounces of water, and the dogs gulp it down; they seem to enjoy the taste as well. So about two months in, I have a little less than a 1/2 bottle to go, and the dogs' breath is much better, especially my big dog." — DH
Get it from Amazon for $10.59 (available in three sizes, three textures, and for dogs or dogs/cats).
28. A pair of stainless steel tongue scrapers that'll literally scrape the bad breath at least help get rid of it. This will leave your tongue looking and feeling fresh so no wincing comes your way.
They even come with their own convenient little case.
Btw, this comes from small biz Mouthology!
Promising review:"I recently purchased this tongue scraper, and I must say, it has made a significant difference in my oral hygiene routine. The scraper is easy to use and efficient in removing any buildup on my tongue. I have noticed that my breath stays fresher for longer, and my tongue feels cleaner throughout the day. The scraper is also easy to clean and store, making it a convenient addition to my daily routine. Overall, I highly recommend using a tongue scraper, and this one in particular is a great choice." — Kelsey
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles, two colors, and multipacks).
30. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help eliminate rough, dead skin in *minutes*. Many reviewers say it only took as long as two to three to see results! After applying this gel, simply scrub with a foot file, and your heels will feel brand new.
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available with a foot file and gloves).
31. OR Demora's foot exfoliation mask to peel away dead skin, calluses, and buildup for baby-smooth skin. Sign. Me. Up. Simply slide these foot mask "socks" onto your feet and leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak in and work its magic. You should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with incredibly softer feet in two weeks!).
Check it out on TikTok!
Promising review:"I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let's be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " — Alma Elias
Get two pairs from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five scents).
32. A Color-Wow anti-humidity spray because it creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture and prevents frizziness. It lasts — wait for it — up to 72 hours (!!) or through two to three shampoos. Honestly, you'll wish you bought it years ago, because there's nothing more obnoxious than when you spend hours doing your 'do only for it to be ruined as soon as you step outside!
Promising reviews:"I fell in love after the first use, not just for curly/thick hair! I have very fine, thin hair that has lots of new growth/flyaways and split ends. Unlike others, I used this spray on dry hair, just spritzed a bit, and used the flat iron... 95% of flyaways were gone, and my hair had a nice shine. This stuff is truly magic for my type of hair!" — Rebecca Beyard
"I decided to give it a try [and] was not disappointed! I straighten my type C curls often, but the frizz from living in the southern United States is real, and if the weather is not perfect, it doesn't last in the humidity. This product solved all of that. After washing with soothing shampoo and conditioner, applying leave-in, and then spraying [this] on hair, my shark dryer had no issue with drying my hair into a smooth, silky shine. I don't know that it has ever been straighter than when using this spray, and... [the results] lasted. A long time. Like for at least six days. I have never been able to go that long between washes, and only because the frizz was too much to deal with. This product is a miracle to use on my curly hair! Will definitely buy again." — Amie Howard
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes as well in extra strength and curly hair versions).
33. A pack of Bissel Stomp 'N Go stain-removing pads reviewers say really do live up to their name. These pads remove gross pet-related stains, and according to reviews, they work on coffee stains, blood, dirt (new and old), and even red wine. All you have to do is place 'em over the stain and stomp — done!
Promising review:"Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" — MKELady
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $25.99.
34. A cooktop-cleaning kit to get your electric stovetop looking like new again... because FYI, it doesn't have to look like it's barely survived a food fight and a stain vs. rust war that's been going on for years. It comes with everything you need, including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool.
Promising review:"Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi-cleaners, which never seemed to do much. Then, a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said, it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." — B. Swartwood

Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" — IHateCleaning

36. A piercing bump solution because those annoying keloids have got to go! This can slowly help reduce the size, hardness, and redness of the keloid around your piercing. After all, your new jewelry should be the star of the show, not the bump!
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 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 C.

Promising review:"I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie

Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted.
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed,
Promising review:"This little brush is amazing. I have struggled with flakes for a while and have tried various products and techniques to eliminate it- even SCRUBBING my head with a scratchy bristle brush pre-shower-all to no avail. THIS SHAMPOO BRUSH DID THE TRICK IN ONE WASH. I would brush, shampoo, condition, blow dry, and would see the flakes over my entire head immediately. After using this brush ONCE, I saw maybe two flakes TOTAL. I changed nothing else. Same shampoo and conditioner, same product, and brushes to dry and style. I used this massage brush both for the shampoo and for the conditioner. I worked it from front to back instead of in a circular motion to avoid tangling my long hair. As an added bonus, it feels amazing. Very relaxing and luxurious. Much nicer than fingertips or nails. Overall, I really can't think of a scenario when this WOULDN'T be a good purchas e." — Full of Sunshine

My pores were small; my face was in a good I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this.

The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about terrifyingly good results.
Promising review:"I bought this RMR-86 spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner

42. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces. To get incredible results like the reviewer's door below, all you have to do is wet and swipe. Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason!
Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker, and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house, and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenally on the whites of shoes that look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" — TShepp

This TikTok-viral serum also has a blend of hyaluronic acid, so not only can it help dramatically fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, but it'll help treat and prevent acne in the first place.
Promising review:"This product saved my skin. I seldom write reviews, but I just had to review this product. I've been struggling with acne for YEARS. I have very acne-prone skin. I get a new pimple almost every day, and it seemed like there was never a time I didn't have a pimple on my face. Acne leaves super dark blemishes/scars on my face. I've tried all different types of moisturizers and cleansers. Nothing worked. However, I bought this serum on a whim. OMGGGG. Guys. Literally, my face stopped flaring within three days. I was PIMPLE-FREE FOR MORE THAN 48 hours (a new record). Exactly two months later, the blemishes have faded DRASTICALLY, and I have no active breakouts. This hasn't happened in years. I truly and honestly think it is due to this product. If you are hesitant, don't be, BUY IT! It has also helped my under-eye bags (use one drop for both under-eyes; pat gently with fingers.)" — Brandon

Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review:"This stuff is great! We just bought a house, and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now, our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" — Becky
Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
45. An ear washer bottle, a quick and easy at-home solution to cleaning those very important things used to hear sounds. This spray cleaner helps remove ear wax build-up, blockages, and impaction so that you no longer have to wake up with clogged ears — you're missing the chirping birds!
The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Using it is simple: Fill the bottle with your preferred ear-cleaning solution, attach the disposable tip, and then spray the cleaner into your ear. This will loosen up wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear!
Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients' earwax impactions.
Promising review:"Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. 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

46. A set of skin-tone shaded reusable waterproof silicone Nippies reviewers say can handle even the hottest, sweatiest of days. This way, you can wear your fave backless dress or halter top without annoying bra straps in the way. Warm weather outfits are about to get next-level.
Nippies is a Los Angeles-based small biz founded in 2002.
Promising review: "I don't know how I've lived so long without these, and I never want to be without them again. A summer necessity. They do what they say they'll do and magically stay on. I honestly don't know how it works, and I don't care. They're the best. I'm a G cup, and while they don't offer much in terms of support (didn't expect them to), the slightly rubbery outer finish gives them some traction against the inside of whatever you're wearing, so if you're wearing something fitted, your boobs stay in place longer. Huge fan." — Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $26.50 (available in three sizes, two styles, and five shades).
47. ORRR a breathable, sweat-proof boob tape kit complete with a roll of the tape, four satin boob petals (to protect the nips), AND a pair of silicone pasties perfect for those very particular tops and dresses there's never a right bra for. Bonus points for the test patch that's included, so you can be sure that the tape doesn't irritate your skin!
This stuff has a strong hold, so don't rip this stuff off! Use oil to completely saturate it so it soaks through the adhesive and begins to loosen.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy; they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." — MelBee

48. A vegan O.P.I. nail-strengthening polish if your nails are constantly chipping, peeling, splitting, and could literally break with a snap of your fingers. This formula (which comes in clear or tinted shades!) is a low-maintenance way to strengthen weak nails. It can be used solo but works great as a base coat, too!
Promising review:"I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." — Stephen Bell

49. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads — medicated, waterproof bandages that will help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin. Thousands of reviewers say they've received amazing results, and many after just one use!
Promising review:"This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! I bought the invisible strips, and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" — Audrey N.

Promising review:"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass, that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." — Mary in Nebraska
