36 Spring Products That'll Make You Think, "Why Don't I Own That Already?"

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Now you can picnic in peace thanks to this electric mosquito repellent. 1. A water-resistant crossbody bag you'll want to wear regardless of the weather because it's just so dang practical. There's plenty of room for all your essentials, an interior water bottle holder, and an adjustable strap so you can wear it as a shoulder bag if you prefer! Athleta In addition to the main pocket, it has an exterior zippered pocket and a smaller one inside the bag for smaller items. Promising review: "This bag has room for everything, including a water bottle and a book. And it's water resistant and a classic style. It had enough pockets and zippers, but not too many to get one confused." — anonymous Get it from Athleta for $54.99 (originally $69; available in three colors). 2. A laptop shade so you can actually work outside and soak up the sun without your laptop overheating or your screen turning into a mirror. No more maxed-out brightness, endless squinting, or giving up and heading back inside. SunShader is a small biz! Promising review:"This truly blocks the sun and stays on strong and secure. It's also lightweight and slim when folded up for easy transport. I have a MacBook Air, and it fits perfectly without any space for the sun to come in. Great product!" — HML Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two sizes). 3. A pack of SweatBlock wipes for the peeps whose pits get drenched the second the temperature hits 70 degrees. These clinical-strength, pre-soaked wipes are made to keep you dry for up to seven days (yes, really!) with just a few swipes. No white marks, no reapplying, and no awkward pit stains mid-day after being outside for 20 minutes. This stuff is STRONG, so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin. Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter: the SweatBlock product. I've had it for three weeks and it is life changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three pack sizes). 4. A ~handy~ (pun intended) coffee cup holder because the concept of walking around with a drink is amazing until the condensation becomes annoying, or you just get sick of being stuck in a Lego hand position. Now you can carry your beverage like a lil' purse and free up your hands — especially useful if you need Google Maps out while you're walking. VIS Paradise Goods is a Florida-based Etsy stop established in 2021 that specializes in personalized and sustainable goods. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord owns this: "I love it for the convenience of texting on the go! These even have a holder for a straw if you happen to get iced coffee or bubble tea and don't want to stick the straw into the drink just yet. I've found this to be very sturdy and easy to use, plus they're a fun conversation starter — people always want to know where I got it!" Promising review: "This is perfect! I constantly have my hands full and now I can comfortably carry my coffee with me everywhere I go. I will be purchasing more!" — Erin Get it from VIS Paradise Goods on Etsy for $14.03+ (originally $17.54+; available in six plain colors and over 30 optional designs). 5. Some Pink Miracle shoe cleaner to reset your go-to white sneakers after they've endured muddy puddles and sidewalk dirt. This fan-favorite shoe cleaner works on everything from canvas to leather and suede — just dip the included brush in water, put a few drops of solution on it, and get to scrubbing! It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! And yes, you can use it on the laces, too. 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 an 8-ounce bottle with a brush from Amazon for $22.97 (available in three sizes). 6. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers so you know when it's time to apply another layer of sunscreen without the guesswork. Plus, they're latex-free, hypoallergenic, and painless to peel off so anyone with sensitive skin can get in on the game. Promising review: "I'm multiracial with tan skin. I burn when [the sun is] intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida, and just walking or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." — FlightLife Get 32 stickers from Amazon for $31.25 (also available in packs of 16 and 48). 7. A set of luxury hotel bedsheets made from a super soft, moisture-wicking microfiber fabric that usually goes for hundreds of dollars. They also have a wonderful cooling effect — something you'll appreciate more and more as temps start to climb. But, seriously, only get these if you can fight the temptation to stay in bed all day! Promising review:"Feel like expensive high-end hotel sheets. I normally use flannel sheets year-round because it's the only material I like but these are my new favorite. Very soft and cooling. Fit our bed perfectly. I purchased both for our bed and our spare room and have only gotten compliments from guests. Great sheets without the huge sticker price." — Anna Greenlun Get it from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king and for a split king, extra deep pocket versions, and 45 colors). 8. A pair of Nippies reusable nipple pasties so you can wear that cute (and sexy) backless dress without any straps ruining the 'fit. Reviewers say these look seamless and stay *put* no matter how much moving or sweating you're doing (likely both if you're at the club 🕺) — which is really all we want from our pasties. They're even available in a style that provides a bit of lift, as shown below! Just wash and air dry them before the next use and store them in the nifty travel box to keep them clean. Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa Get it from Amazon for $26.50 (available in three sizes: small fits A–C cups, large fits D+ cups, and extra large fits DD+ cups. You can also choose from five shades and two styles, including one that provides lift). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. 9. A daisy-shaped dish brush with a vase holder to brighten up your kitchen sink area and make washing the dishes at least a little more enjoyable. (It's definitely better than using an ugly brush!) Reviewers say it scrubs well, so it's not just decor — it's ~functional decor~. Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action. Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. I t's happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use but it's still cute and I could've been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn't get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." — Hannah Jo Wilson Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors). 10. An all-terrain Evenflo stroller that accommodates one or two kiddos up to 5 years old and effortlessly transitions from a stroller to a wagon with a simple flip of the handle. Plus, the UPF 50+ sun-shielding canopies will keep them protected from harmful rays! UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is a measure of how much UV radiation reaches your skin through a fabric. UPF 50 means it's designed to block 98% of the sun's rays. Promising review:"Love this new wagon!! Our 5-year-old and 3-year-old got too big for our stroller, but we go for long walks, and they can't walk the whole time. This wagon is the best!! Room to sit, and the drop-down leg area is perfect! It pushes like a dream and steers super easy. The fact that you can turn it into a pull wagon at the push of a button is even better. We also love the snack tray that sits in the middle, so it helps divide them up a bit." — Jboy Get it from Amazon for $304.99 (available in five colors and two styles). 11. Reef sandals with soft straps and a supportive footbed that make them super comfy to wear while walking along the beach or working in the garden. They're built for water but are stylish enough to wear out and about, so they're a top-tier choice for warm, rainy weather! Promising review: "They are the perfect combination of style, comfort, and functionality. The footbed is incredibly cushioned, making them comfortable for all-day wear, whether I'm walking on the beach or running errands. What I really appreciate is how lightweight and breathable they are — perfect for hot days. Plus, they dry quickly after getting wet, so they're ideal for beach trips or poolside lounging. The design is super cute and goes well with everything from shorts to sundresses. The adjustable straps ensure a secure fit, and even after hours of wear, my feet feel great — no blisters or discomfort. I've received so many compliments on them! Reef nailed it with these!" — Mike Gee Get them from Amazon for $60 (available in women's sizes 4.5–11.5 and in 28 colors). 12. E.l.f.'s moisturizing "Squeeze Me" lip balm because you deserve to serve "I just have naturally glossy, perfect lips" on the daily. It's made with hyaluronic acid for extra moisture, tinted for a little color, and flavored as a touch of fun for your inner child. Amazon Promising review:"I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small though, so if you use it often it won't last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base to an awesome lip oil!" — Jax Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors). 13. A small but mighty plug-in air purifier, which uses a negative ionizer *and* HEPA filter to remove dust, odors, and those pesky spring allergens from the air, quietly working its magic without taking up any floor or desk space. As the reviewer in the photo below puts it, 'I'm not exaggerating when I say you can feel the difference in air quality almost instantly.' Each filter can last up to a few months, and you can grab a pack of replacements to have on hand for when it's time to change it! To replace the filter, just remove the front, take out the old filter, and pop in the new one. The company recommends using at least one per room and placing it near windows and doors for the best results! Promising review: "This air purifier is a MUST, especially for springtime or if you have pets. I also really love how small it is. It works great and it's not an eyesore, which I love! You can also choose to turn the blue light on or off. Definitely worth it!" — Alexa Get it from Amazon for $54.90. 14. And a pack of ceiling fan carbon air filters that stick to the top of your fan blades, discreetly and silently improving your air quality by collecting all the particles and contaminants that keep making you sneeze. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 15. An SPF 30 scalp sunscreen mist you'll want to grab *before* your hair part becomes pink and tender after a day by the pool, reminding you that scalps can definitely get sunburned. This lightweight mist shields the top of your head from UV damage without leaving your roots greasy or messing up your style. Bonus: It smells like vacation in a bottle. Amazon Promising review: "I have two girls, and we spend a lot of time outside in the summers. I work as a nurse and have seen scalp skin cancer, and I definitely wanted to protect myself and my girls. We usually use the regular spray, but it leaves the hair greasy or stiff. This has a great scent, and a little goes a long way! I was worried about the small size, but it lasted us all summer. Also leaves no residue." — Liz Young Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in a pack of two). 16. A Supergoop SPF 40 tinted sunscreen that not only shields your skin from harmful UV rays but also leaves a luminous, dewy glow that rivals any highlighter. This hyaluronic acid- and niacinamide-infused cream also doubles as a primer, creating a smooth canvas for makeup while delivering all-day hydration. Promising review:"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. The video and pictures are in direct sunlight, so you can see [the product] in full effect. For reference, I have combination, thirtysomething-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." — Lovely91 Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in four tints and four sizes). 17. Or a lightweight SPF 30 sunscreen setting spray to lock your makeup in place for up to 16 hours while adding a layer of sun protection. A huge selling point: You can reapply it throughout the day without ruining your makeup! Promising review:"I honest to God thought setting sprays were a money trap hoax until I bought this. I had used a few random setting sprays in the past, and they never did ANYTHING; my makeup would run down my face as soon as I got in the sun. I bought this before a trip to the beach because I wanted something with SPF I could spray on my pale, sensitive face (and if it happened to also help my makeup stay, even better!). I was BEYOND impressed with how well this setting spray works; my makeup still looked great even after hours of walking around the beach underneath the California sun. It felt very light on my face and dried quickly; it definitely has a strong sunscreen smell, but whatevs, it does the job!! Will be buying this brand again when the bottle runs out, for sure." — Hannah Coyne Get it from Amazon for $13.97. 18. A tube of heavy-duty hand soap because spring cleaning can leave your hands covered in grease and grime. This soap uses all-natural ingredients like bentonite clay, coconut oil, and olive oil to tackle the toughest messes without harsh chemicals. Promising review:"I work for the railroad, and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah, so when it starts getting cold, my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean, that doesn't happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" — Nick Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three sizes and a wall dispenser kit). 19. A compact, foldable Hairbrella to keep in your bag for when the weather app lies, and it IS, in fact, raining, and you don't want your freshly styled hair to get ruined. Amazon Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats that combine fashion and function to protect against all types of weather. Promising review: "Awesome hat. A must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don't want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splashdown; my hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much that I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it." — applekoolaid Get it from Amazon for $44 (available in nine colors). 20. A refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator making it way easier to get sunscreen on your kids without having to wrangle them. Just fill it with your favorite sunscreen and let the sponge and rollerball combo glide on smoothly and evenly. Promising review:"My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy, they didn't even complain!!" — Jeshleigh Get a pack of two from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in 10 color combos). 21. A stand-up weeder that uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. It has a bamboo handle and four steel claws to really dig into those roots and pull them OUT. Your back deserves a break from playing tug of war with stubborn weeds. Amazon Promising review:"So happy to have come across this tool! It works great! Much better than stooping down or kneeling. Easy to hold, use, and release. It even works with weeds that are in a rubber mulch bed. I've already recommended it to a neighbor!" — HoCo Get it from Amazon for $34.79. 22. A pack of towel bands designed to wrap around your lounge chair and keep your towel securely in place — instead of it being swept up by the wind and carried to the other side of the beach. They're designed to last for years without rusting, breaking, or losing strength. Promising review: "Last-minute purchase for a trip to Jamaica. So happy I bought them. They always kept our towels on the chairs correctly. It was also easy to tell our chairs apart from others on the resort. Will definitely be recommending them to others." — RG Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four color combos and a set with extendable clasps). 23. An easy-to-install fence bubble so your pup can satiate their curiosity without jumping over or trying to burst through the fence! It's also a great way for your furry friend to greet neighbors and people passing by without completely bulldozing them. Promising review:"My dogs love their window! They are 20+ pounds each and can both get their heads into the window to see what is going on in the front yard. It only took my husband and me a few minutes to install. The acrylic dome is thick and is easy to wipe clean. It's also made in the USA!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.90. 24. Some Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes for your dramatic potted plants that love to act like they're dying from a five-degree temperature change. These'll keep your plants fed for up to two months, slowly releasing nutrients and helping revive those droopy leaves and stems. Just use the included tool to make a hole in the soil, then stick the spike in! Promising review:"I didn't think I'd write a review about plant food, but these are amazing! I used to just look at plants, and they would shrivel and die, but these have made every single one of my plants flourish beautifully! Even succulents in our temperamental Washington weather are thriving. We have them in both our indoor plants as well as our veggies outside." — H Husom Get 96 spikes (two packs of 48) from Amazon for $10.95 (also available in a 12-pack and a set of 24). 25. A 4-in-1 soil moisture and pH meter to help you easily measure moisture, pH, light levels, and nutrients — so you'll always know exactly what your plants need to thrive without the guessing games. The 90-degree rotating head means no awkward bending to read the dial, and since it's battery free, it's ready to go whenever you are. Promising review:"I'm so happy I got this meter. It works great and is easy to use. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Living in the Arizona desert, I tend to overwater some of my pots in the summer, eventually killing some plants. With this meter, I can check all my potted plants and get an accurate reading of moisture and the nutrients that are needed. I love it!!" — Grandma Susi Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 26. A water-resistant sand-sifting mat designed to let sand, dirt, and crumbs fall through without coming back up so you aren't bringing half the beach home with you. This double-sided mat also has built-in D-ring corners for staking it down on windy days. Amazon Promising review:"I used this as a 'veranda' in front of my tent in a sandy rock outcropping in heavy Wyoming wind. When sand was tracked onto the blanket, all I had to do was wave my hand or foot over the sand pile, and it fell right through the weaves of fabric, not to come back up. The benefits included not tracking sand into my tent, having a clean space to roll up my sleeping bag (without sand all over it), a sandless spot to lay our gear and organize, and a perfect un-sandy area to sit and chat with friends. I loved it. We camped on the sand in 40-mph swirling gusts of a stormy weekend. On my first campout in this location (without this blanket), a lot of sand covered my gear inside the tent. But with the camping mat, what an improvement!" — Alexandra B. Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors). 27. A set of heel caps because grass, gravel, and grates are common enemies of the oh-so-chic thin heel. Just pop it onto the end of your heel and let your worries of getting stuck in the ground float away. Promising review:"I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." — J L D Get a pair on Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes). Check out my colleague's full Stoppers heel protectors review. 28. A pair of flowy palazzo pants so you can feel like you're wearing pajamas while looking much more put-together. The wide-leg silhouette adds a stylish flair to any outfit, while the loose design allows for breathability and easy movement. You can tuck in a button-up and pair it with booties for a chic office look, or throw on some sneakers and a crop top for a laid-back vibe. Promising review: "I'm a 5'1.5" girl and have been STRUGGLING to find office pants that I haven't needed to get hemmed. I bought these in the XS short, and they fit like a dream!! So comfy. The waistband is very stretchy, and wearing these feels like sweatpants. They are on the thinner side — I wouldn't wear them in winter without warmer leggings or something underneath, but for summer or autumn, they are perfect." — shalom Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2X, short and long lengths, and 28 colors). 29. A waterproof baby carrier perfect for splashing around at the beach or strolling through the park. It's made from soft, stretchy neoprene (yep, like wetsuits) and has adjustable, padded straps for maximum comfort. Amazon It's perfect for little ones between 4 months and 24 months old. Promising review:"Absolutely love this product. I used it when my son was only about 6 to 9 months old, and I still use it now as he is 15 months old. I just love this product. It is so easy to use with the babies. Love it as they get to be in the water as well. This product also dries very quickly. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the water with their children. An added benefit is that you are hands free!" — Hannabelle Get it from Amazon for $79.64 (available in seven colors). 30. A retractable 40-foot clothesline for those sunny days when you want to ditch the dryer and let nature do the work. It's heavy-duty, compact, and easy to pop up on a balcony, backyard, or even in your laundry room. Fresh air + sun-dried laundry = peak spring vibes. Promising review:"Living in Southern California, where the sun is always shining, buying this has been a money-saver! And a no-brainer! It's easy to install, and I use it every week when I do my laundry! Buy it! So worth it!" — Jasmin Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors). 31. A UV light trap to help rid your space of those unwanted indoor pests who aren't even paying rent. It uses UV light to lure in gnats, mosquitoes, and fruit flies, then traps them with a fan and sticky board. Reviewers love how quietly it operates! Place it near a garbage bin, plants, or fruit for the best results! Promising review:"This thing works. I have the unfortunate problem of living in an area where there are a lot of mosquitoes. I bought this because there is a cloud of mosquitoes outside my door every morning, and some of them seem to make their way inside my apartment whenever I open the door. So, I really bought this trap out of desperation. I had tried pretty much every (unsuccessful) way to get rid of mosquitoes that I could find online, but I eventually decided to try this trap. The mosquitoes fly toward the UV light and get sucked into the trap from the fan. Once they're in, they get stuck on the sticky trap part. I love it and am so glad I bought this!" — Snow Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five styles and two colors). 32. And an odorless, DEET-free electric mosquito repellent for your outdoor hangouts — it creates a 15-foot zone of protection against mosquitoes without sprays or open flames. Each repellent mat works for up to four hours and changes color when it's time to swap it out. Now you can enjoy sitting on your patio without being the main course for a bunch of tiny flying vampires. It's super easy to use — just insert the repellent mat at the top, twist in the fuel cartridge, then rotate the bottom to turn it on and then click it to start. Promising review:"I bought this because I was looking for an effective insect repellant for my patio this spring/summer. I didn't want a bulky candle or tiki torch that smelled like canola oil. I found the Thermacell. It looked modern and promising. We tried it, and it works really well. It also produces no smell or sound. We live in the south, where mosquitoes are really awful, and the Thermacell made sitting on our patio tolerable! Definitely recommend." — Trusted Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.57+ (available in 10 colors and a pack of two). 33. A Bug Bite Thing to relieve irritating itchiness, swelling, and redness from pesky bug bites. The portable size makes it easy to take on the go, because unfortunately bugs are everywhere and you never know when one will getcha. 😳 It's super easy to use — just place the tool over the bite, pull up on the handles till you feel a suction, hold for 20 seconds, then push the handles back down and you're done! Promising review:"I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! Less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors and various packs). 34. A bestselling ChomChom pet hair remover since shedding season is upon us and you'll want to see what your clothes, furniture, and other fabric surfaces look like *not* covered in fur. It's reusable and works its magic without using anything sticky (so no residue)! This gadget went super viral based on its results — and that's when you know a product is good. See the ChomChom roller in action on TikTok! Promising review: "This thing works beautifully. We just got a Great Pyrenees pup, who's about 10 months old and going through his first spring shedding, and there's no end to his hair. Aside from clothing, I use this in my car, on my bed, even on my carpet. Gets ALL the hair! The trick is to use a back-and-forth motion; it doesn't do a whole lot in one direction." — Justin & Shannon C. Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 35. *Plus* an Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that breaks down stains and odors at their source and leaves your home smelling fresh and citrusy without using harsh ingredients. That one spot behind the couch that your cat won't stop peeing on doesn't stand a chance. 💪 Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get the spray bottle from Amazon for $17.96 (also available in a gallon-size jug). 36. A Scumbug you just toss into your pool or hot tub, and it'll absorb those icky oils, scum, and slime that keep you from wanting to go swimming. And not only does it help keep your water cleaner, but it also reduces the strain on your filters! Promising review:"Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" — Mickey D. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.

It targets fungal nail damage and may help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness you wish would disappear. 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. 2.

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 3. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if sweaty pits are ruining your day, every single day.

Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 4. Or some aluminum-free deodorant wipes so you don't feel the need to hole up inside just to avoid the chance of stinky pits. These will help keep odors at bay and leave you with a fresh coconut scent! Amazon Promising review:"I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin, or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." — Vicky Reyes Get a pack of 30 wipes from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in multipacks). 5. A vegan ingrown hair oil that can help relieve the painful redness and irritation — you know, the stuff you'd like to pretend doesn't exist.

I've tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly along my part and easily skip a shampoo without being self-conscious or having an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." — Dino Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in multipacks). 7. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel if you desire downright mesmerizing results in a matter of minutes. The best part? You won't have to pay for a very unpleasant visit to the nail salon. Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and in packs of two). 8.

Promising review:"BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn't matter if I wear socks all the time I always get dry heals. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually, it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I've never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." — Mickenzie Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 9. A genuinely ~wonder~ful balm for resolving just about any persistent skin condition you've been praying would just vanish on its own. Whether it's ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, or plain old dry skin, this stuff may be the solution you've been searching for. Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie Get it from Amazon for $36.32. 10. A pack of cold sore healing patches made with hydrocolloid that'll jumpstart the healing process. These ultra-thin patches are hardly noticeable and can help with pain relief, scabbing, and blistering. See ya never, cold sores!! Promising review:"I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." — Jessica Hill Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $27.96 (also available as a pack of 15). 11. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen to help banish stubborn stains from wine, coffee, and tea that you've tried literally everything else on. It's painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored! 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 on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 12. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" when you wanna remove those annoying food particles stuck between your teeth. These not-so-ordinary brushes have multilayer bristles that act as strong pieces of floss to get in there REAL good. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what my colleague Emma Lord has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack). 13. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil if you love results you can *actually* see. This stuff removes all traces of makeup and sucks sebum from your pores so that your skin is visibly clearer and smoother. If clogged pores are your main complaint, this stuff is for you! 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 review: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you've been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." — A Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 14. A facial hair trimmer for anyone who is done enduring the slow agony of tweezers. Now you can remove unwanted hair so it's like it never existed at all! If you're someone who prefers no facial hair, this electric trimmer will get the job done quickly and painlessly. Promising review: "I am beside myself with this purchase!! I bought it hoping it would at least somewhat work, as so many don't. This is absolutely perfection! It works well, it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire, and most WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple of days later and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" — Sandy E'Bell Get it from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in four styles). 15. Or these tiny dermaplaning razors that'll help eliminate stray hairs or peach fuzz *and* reduce the chances of missing a spot. They leave your skin feeling silky-smooth, which allows for smooth, seamless makeup application! Promising review:"Amazing!! So easy to use. My skin is soooooo smooth after. I love the cap you can place on it when doing your eyebrows so you protect your eyelashes. I mainly use it for eyebrows and upper lip. I wish I would have bought these sooner!!!" — Colleen Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in packs of nine). 16. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion because your bum needs some lovin' too! This formula is rich in tea tree oil to help soothe and prevent future breakouts. Trust me, your cheeks will thank you. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Cleveland Clinic. Apply this gentle treatment 3–4 times a day or 4–6 times if the situation is more serious. Promising review:"I've used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is the skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available as a two-pack). 17. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and can help draw the gunk out of annoying zits that won't leave you alone. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking. Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review:"These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C. Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a 72-pack). 18. And some overnight hydrocolloid nose patches so you can win the battle against excess oil, irritating pimples, and enlarged pores. You'll get immense satisfaction from peeling off the patch to reveal all the stuff that was clinging to your skin. Promising review: "I use these nose patches on my actual nose, my forehead, and my chin because I have very oily skin, and WHEW do they draw out the gross gunk in my pores. My skin feels AMAZING after I use them!!" — Lillie Blanton Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98. 19. Wart-removing pads you can use on those pesky warts you've been struggling with. Apply the medicated pads like bandages and they'll help shrink it. Replace every 48 hours until the growth goes POOF! Promising review:"I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" — K Pic Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three styles). 20. Sulfate-free Biotin shampoo made with botanical extracts to help thicken and hydrate your hair if that's your preference. It also clarifies and removes product buildup! If you're not a fan of taking supplements and hoping it'll fix thinning hair, try this! Talk to your doctor before using this product if you're experiencing hair loss. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get the value size bottle from Amazon for $32.95 (available in four sizes and as a two-pack). 21. Demora's foot exfoliation mask when you're ready to treat your feet to the gift of super smooth skin — no more rough calluses existing in your orbit. Put 'em on, get comfy for an hour, then get ready for the big reveal. Check it out on TikTok! With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!). 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 $19.99+ (available in five scents). 22. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap with truly magical results that'll leave your jaw on the floor. It uses hyaluronic acid, shea butter, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and soothe skin while minimizing dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes. Promising reviews:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." — Michaella Leyein Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in larger multipacks). 23. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle — a safe *and* effective cleaning method instead for anyone who struggles with ear wax buildup, blockages, and impaction. Now you can manage this persistent problem at home instead of avoiding it! 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 Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 24. Or an earwax removal kit made with carbamide peroxide to help draw out stubborn wax. The results may make ya queasy, but you'll think twice about sticking cotton swabs in your ear again! Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 25. Seamless bra liners because even though it's a perfectly normal bodily function, it's also perfectly normal to wish it would go away FOREVER. These are made from a soft cotton and bamboo blend to help absorb moisture and prevent discomfort from painful underwire. Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" — Niko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and six color combos). 26. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller that'll minimize the unwelcome shiny, oily layer that suddenly appears after doing your makeup. This magical tool will absorb it with just a few swipes. No extra powder required! It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again! Promising review:"I was shocked! This actually works. It takes the oil away without distributing the makeup. Game changer for me. I don't know why I didn't know about this sooner." — Lesa A. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 27. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to leave you with the smooth, healthy skin you've always dreamed of. No more dry patches or bumps killing your mood! Reviewers with keratosis pilaris and other similar skin textures swear by it. Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have had the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now, which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in four sizes and in packs of two). 28. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula if you wish you could experience that post-facial glow a lil' more often without actually paying for a pricey facial — problem solved! This tool can help unclog pores via high-frequency vibrations. Each cycle lasts for five minutes before it automatically turns off. Bonus: Your skincare products will be better absorbed after using it! See it in action on TikTok! My colleague Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!" Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 29. Bio-Oil — it has such a long list of benefits, you'll never run out of uses for it! It can help even your skin tone, fade stretch marks, and reduce the appearance of acne scars. It absorbs super quickly so it won't feel heavy or greasy, either. Promising review:"What kind of sorcery is this? I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for weeks.... this stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson Get it from Amazon for $11.12 (also available in a 24-pack). 30. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel because removing unwanted hair doesn't have to be the most tedious task in the world. This hydrating cream gently removes hair and helps reduce the chance of painful ingrowns. Apply evenly, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove it with the spatula, then rinse. It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). 31. A blackhead scrub stick that can help with excess sebum and other impurities that might be clogging your precious pores. After cleansing, rub it on your face to exfoliate *and* eliminate stubborn blackheads and whiteheads! This thing works so well, you'll soon forget blackheads were even a thing. 32. An exfoliating scrub mitt for ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing other annoying probs, like bumps and ingrown hairs. Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as a two-pack). 33. Stila's One-Step Color-Correcting Facial Serum, which may help even your skin tone and brighten your complexion by combining a heavenly blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with color theory. (Peach negates purple dark circles, green negates splotchy redness, etc.) Bye-bye, redness and dark spots!! 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 four shades). 34. Lumify Eye Drops because redness and irritation are, in fact, not a fact of life if you don't want 'em to be. Reviewers praise this TikTok-famous product for its ability to *instantly* reduce redness and provide dry eye relief. (It's the #1 dry eye relief product on Amazon for a reason!) Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93. 35. Silicone Kegel weights if you're ready to take charge of your health down there. It's great for Kegel newbies and can help with incontinence, especially if you've given birth recently. It's also ideal for anyone who wants more enjoyable *and* less painful sex. Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor. Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 36. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo to help keep your hair free of those bothersome flakes you want so badly to be free of. Apply it to wet hair, lather it up real nice, then rinse thoroughly. This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b – 4c curls mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C. Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 37. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash made with aloe, mint, and tea tree soap for lessening those common skin irritations that won't quit like rashes, acne, and dry or cracked skin. It also smells absolutely wonderful on account of the coconut, olive, and jojoba oils! Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising reviews:"I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it's made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" — Blackburn's "I wanted to wait to review after two weeks of use. I've noticed that my usual BO at the end of the day is now nonexistent. My back and chest acne have cleared up. I haven't gotten any ingrown hairs or experienced any re-growth itching on my bikini line. This thing is magic in a bottle and I wished I had found it sooner!" — xXSUXx Get it from Amazon for $14.49. 38. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair that'll help repair the dry, cracked, and/or chapped lips you've been dealing with. If you're already familiar with the brand's famous Working Hands cream, you know it's the real deal. Why not give your pout the same royal treatment while you sleep? Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a two-pack). 39. A pack of coconut-scented nail strengthening cream so you can repair short, brittle nails that continue existing despite your best efforts. This cream is rich in calcium, jojoba oil, and vitamins to help strengthen nails, condition cuticles, and promote growth. Promising review:"My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several times a day and after two months, my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.88. 40. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to help conquer stale breath and leave your mouth with a fresh, clean feeling. No one will be offering you an unsolicited stick of gum anytime soon! Promising review:"This product works!! High-quality material, well made, easy to clean, corrosion resistant, at least in my experience. I can tell this will last a long time. And, it works!!!! Got rid of a coating on my tongue that other tongue scrapers and the tongue cleaners on toothbrushes did nothing for!! Noticed it got a lot off the first use!!! My tongue looks healthy, and my throat feels better. Once a thicker layer starts on the tongue due to postnasal drip there's nothing else that got rid of it. It's easy to hold and doesn't gag me at all. It comes with a travel case, which I love because I don't want anything that goes in my mouth loose in a bag." — Saffire Dragon Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 41. And for good measure, an alcohol-free oral rinse, which can assist in the fight against bad breath for 24 hours and doesn't have a super strong taste that lingers. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse! Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night. Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint). And if you need more convincing, check out our in-depth review of TheraBreath oral rinse!

If You're Tired Of Wasting Money On Duds, These 40 Personal Care Products Actually Deliver

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Including products for excess ear wax, sweating, and dandruff that won't give you buyer's remorse. 1. A pack of SweatBlock wipes — this might be the most aptly-named product ever; they truly block the sweat. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days. Each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 2. A cuticle conditioner with a non-oily, serum-like formula that's way less messy than your traditional cuticle oil. Whyyyyy do cuticle oils take so long to absorb?! This one sinks in more like a lightweight lotion thanks to the moisturizing shea and cocoa butters that give it a creamy texture. Oh, and it's not just for your cuticles; you can smooth this all over your nails to condition, strengthen, and add a fresh-from-the-salon shine. Promising review: "I love the overall quality and the way it turned my overly dry skin around my finger nails to soft and healthy looking in just two applications. I saw results after first application but after the second one it was like I never had the issue. The size is adequate as you only need a small amount and very easy to apply. Once applied, it soaks in quickly and feels lightweight. The scent isn't offensive or too strong." — Dmlyle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and two packs). 3. Lumify Eye Drops — a redness-reducing solution made with brimonidine tartrate to whiten and brighten your eyes for up to 8 hours. They're a bit more expensive than traditional eye drops, but more than 26,000 reviewers swear by them, with many saying they work reliably well and have a soothing effect. Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93 4. A reviewer-loved scar gel that sinks in super quickly, so it's perfect to use on facial scars. The superstar scar-fading ingredients are panthenol, which promotes the production of new skin cells, and allantoin, which attracts moisture to the skin to help speed up the wound-healing process. It also works on new and old scars, so it's never too late to add this to your routine. Promising review:"This product is awesome!!! I have been using it for a couple of months for acne scars and I have seen a huge reduction in scarring, depth of scars, and redness/color of scarring. My skin is smoother, the color is much more even, my skin never breaks out anymore, and the scars that I still have aren't really noticeable. I use it a.m. and p.m. I had given up that anything would help my acne scars. I have tried tons of products. This product is amazing!!!" — bkm61 Get it from Amazon for $14.50. 5. A waxing kit so easy to use, you'll finally stop dreading your at-home hair removal routine. The warmer itself gives you precise control over the temperature thanks to the adjustable knob and digital display — and it also comes with a silicone pot, so you can just pop the wax out once it's cooled and dry. It also comes with different wax beads for specific body areas, so it's basically as foolproof as it gets. The kit comes with the warmer, silicone pot insert, wooden application sticks, face and eyebrow wax, chest and back wax, arms and legs wax, and bikini and Brazilian wax. Promising review: "I have been looking for a wax warmer for a while. After years of warming up wax in a microwave, I decided to buy an affordable wax warmer, and this was exactly what I wanted. I have tried both of the wax samples that come with the purchase and the wax worked great for facial hair and body hair. I do it every two weeks, and it is easy and quick. I only have to use wax a couple of times on my upper lip and eyebrow for all the hair to be removed. I can adjust the temperature as I please, and it only takes about 10 minutes to reach the desired temperature." — Cami A. Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors and also with six packs of wax beads). 6. And a wax kit that has everything you need to remove nose hair in just two minutes. Just melt the wax, dip the applicator sticks in, place in the nose for two minutes, and pull down as quickly as possible while trying not to yell, "KELLY CLARKSON!" — although reviewers say it's surprisingly painless! Note: The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out harmful debris. But of course, it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as removing nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs. Read more about it at the Cleveland Clinic. You'll get 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 10 paper cups at your disposal. Promising review:"I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose this product!!!" — Julie J. Get it from Amazon for $15.19. 7. Or Veet's sensitive hair removal gel — it's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back! It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). 8. And a vegan ingrown hair oil so good at reducing post-shaving redness and irritation, you might just thank the UPS person who delivered your package every time you see them. The secret is tea tree oil (it'll help calm down any inflammation) and a blend of jojoba and grapeseed oil to add extra moisture and softness. And yes, it's designed to be safe to use on intimate areas! You don't have to tell the UPS person about that part, though. 9. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, because your décolletage also deserves some special skincare attention. It contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while glycerin and aloe add some extra hydration. Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (also available in a two-pack). 10. And Gold Bond's face and body lotion specifically designed to plump and firm all the areas on the rest of our body that are extra prone to dryness — like the back of our hands and corners of our eyes. Its secret weapon? That would be the omega fatty acids that help promote elasticity, strengthen the skin's surface, soothe irritation, and eliminate dry, flaky skin. Promising review: "This is one of my all time favorite lotions. It is not greasy and absorbs well. I use it all over my body, including my neck. For a few weeks, I used this on one hand and not the other, and you could tell. I will never not have this lotion. Great thickness. Hardly no scent at all which I like." — Can't Go Wrong with Fancy Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in three sizes). 11. A piercing bump solution formulated with jojoba, grape seed, and rose to keep any annoying keloids at bay! It can help shrink bumps and reduce scarring by promoting skin cell turnover and adding an extra dose of moisture. This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks). 12. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that can help tackle body and foot odor, and may even help clear up rashes thanks to tea tree oil's antibacterial properties. It's also packed with peppermint oil, which is the ultimate perk-you-up-in-the-morning scent when the coffee just isn't cutting it. Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising reviews:"I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week, and it's made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc,. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" — Blackburn's "I wanted to wait to review after two weeks of use. I've noticed that my usual BO at the end of the day is now nonexistent. My back and chest acne have cleared up. I haven't gotten any ingrown hairs or experienced any re-growth itching on my bikini line. This thing is magic in a bottle, and I wished I had found it sooner!" — xXSUXx Get it from Amazon for $13.52 (also available in a two-pack). 13. A butt acne-clearing lotion with tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts, banish bacteria, and clear folliculitis. It is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, and some reviewers feel it even helps with keratosis pilaris. Promising review:"I've used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a two-pack). 14. Bruise cream for those of us who seem to bruise if anything so much as grazes our legs. Why not just use a regular lotion or cover with concealer? Well, this cream is made with arnica montana, vitamin K, aloe vera, and collagen that may help reduce swelling and lessen the appearance of those red and purple undertones. Arnica is often used to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds — read more about it on Mount Sinai. Note: The brand suggests applying as soon as possible after the bruise appears, though reviewers say it still works well on old bruises. Promising review:"I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" — J. Yount Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes, a two-pack, and in a bundle with a gel formula). 15. The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream — it not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer), but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub). 16. Or a retinol body lotion, because the magic of retinol is not just for your face! This retinol in the creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover, while the ferulic acid firms skin for a tighter appearance. Reviewers also note that this works wonders on rough, bumpy skin on their upper arms and legs after consistent use. Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 17. A next-level toothbrush your dentist will be so ridiculously proud of you for using. It has the standard bristles you'd expect from any toothbrush, but the game-changer is the extra-long bristles that are 10x thinner — meaning they can reach in between teeth and under the gum line to help sweep away food and residue. Here's what one of our BuzzFeed Shopping writers, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99. 18. A pair of stainless-steel tongue scrapers for anyone who has googled "why does my breath stink so much?! reddit" a few too many times. This has a super convenient dual-handed design, so you can easily reach to the back of your tongue and then pull forward to evict the nastiness that's living there rent-free. They even come with their own convenient little case. Read more about tongue scraping at Cleveland Clinic. 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 pack of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of three and five different styles). 19. A pair of teeth-whitening pens, which are SO much easier to use than traditional white strips. Just swipe it on and let the gel sit for 30 minutes — and eventually, you'll see years and years of stains start to disappear. This is a must for all my fellow coffee connoisseurs. Promising review:"I've tried a bunch of teeth whitening products in the past, and they've always left my teeth feeling sensitive. It's been a long time since I've tried a whitening product, and I was skeptical about trying another one, but after searching around, I decided to give it a try, and I am happy to say that I have not felt any sensitivity at all! The instructions say to use it 2x a day, but for now, I'm just using it 1x a day as I want to see how my teeth feel and adjust. I've been using the product for about a month now and I have been able to see some results, but only after I took a photo did I realize it has been working so fast. I have pretty white teeth, so I'm pretty amazed how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." — Adam Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95. 20. A pack of denture cleaning tablets to help kill bacteria and remove any discoloration and odors that plain water just won't rinse away by itself. You can also use it on mouthguards, Invisalign, and retainers — just dissolve a tablet in warm water, place the dental appliance inside, and let it soak for 15 minutes. Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! They had a fresh taste and were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81 (also available in a pack of 60, 240, and an overnight version). 21. A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — they're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface. These patches have racked up over 109,000 rave ratings, with many reviewers saying they're practically undetectable and adhere much better to the skin than other brands. Plus, your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger, I got acne when I was in my twenties, and I have no self-control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab because I pick it all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out, even if I pop a zit and wash my face, but these on, it'll continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly I'm in love with these. When I first heard of acne patches, I thought, 'I'll never pay money to make a zit go away,' but these are affordable and effective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum, and it's healed that one quick for me too!!" — chipper2 Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strips, and more! Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of 24 and 72). 22. And a pack of cold sore patches to help speed up the healing process by keeping the area moist and protected. They're made with a no-touch applicator so you can easily adhere it without making contact with the sore, and reviewers say the clear design makes them fairly discreet (you can even apply makeup over it!). Promising review:"I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." — Jessica Hill Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $13.98 (also available in a pack of 30). 23. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that's basically a Celsius energy drink for your hair — it'll reinvigorate your scalp and give your strands a much-needed boost. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your hair, while rosemary and coconut oil are known to nourish and moisturize the scalp. If you're tired of seeing tons of hair falling out in your hairbrush, it's time to add this to your cart. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J. Huff "This shampoo is like NOTHING I've ever tried in the past. The way my 4C hair comes out after using this is INCREDIBLE. Soft, easy to comb, and super manageable. I've been using it for two years!" — Jae Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three scents and four sizes). 24. Or a wildly popular anti-dandruff shampoo — it uses ketoconazole 1% to help fight dandruff and relieve itchy scalps. Several of the 72,000 rave reviews mention seeing a reduction in scalp flakiness when consistently used at least twice a week. Promising reviews:"This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad that I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." — Moo Moo "This product is an answered prayer! Both my daughter and I are affected by seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp; however, after one wash, my daughter has had no more flare-ups, and mine are very minimal. I also like that it doesn't zap the moisture out of the hair, leaving it dry and brittle (we have 4c hair types)." — ALong Get it from Amazon for $15.88 (also available in a bundle with the matching conditioner). 25. And a shampoo massager that not only invigorates your scalp and helps break down any product buildup, but also just feels ah-ma-zing after a long day. You can use it on wet or dry hair, and reviewers say it helps shampoo lather up like a dream. Check it out in action on TikTok here! Promising review:"I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they're right and I now swear by it. It's perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don't hesitate." — Z Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 26. A nail renewal formula to reverse any damage done by fungal infections, so it's essentially time travel in a bottle. The formula includes lactic acid, propylene glycol, and urea to help thicken, soothe, and reduce discoloration on your nails. Just apply twice a day for the first week, then once a day until your toes are looking good to go. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available with nail files). 27. O'Keeffe's overnight lip repair cream — yes, it's from the brand behind the iconic Working Hands cream that thousands of reviewers swear by! Its blend of beeswax, shea butter, and almond oil works while you sleep to soften dead skin and add a nice dose of hydration. Prepare to get rid of your car, bedroom, bathroom, and purse lip balms — this one is all you need. Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams Get it from Amazon for $8.46 (also available in a pack of two). 28. And an exfoliating lip scrub because applying your favorite lip balm on top of dead skin is basically pointless. The sugar granules will help buff away any crusty flakes, and the kukui oil will leave behind a touch of moisture. Promising review: "I usually suffer from chapped lips in the winter, to begin with, but now having braces makes it 100x worse. I have tried all kinds of different lip balms and moisturizers, and nothing was helping. I have used this product once (and followed up with their lip treatment), and the dryness and peeling are gone. I wish I had tried this a lot sooner. It would have saved me from weeks of dryness and soreness!"— Kathleen M. Hanalei is a small business based in Hawaii. Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 30. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that's a major upgrade from other harsh formulas you may have tried in the past. Some callus-removing products will make the surrounding skin feel dry and irritated, but this one includes a healthy dose of glycerin to help soften and hydrate. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions... left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three formulas and a pack of two). 31. And a gross but oh-so-satisfying Baby Foot exfoliating foot mask to remove all the dead skin that's lurking on your feet. Simply slip the booties on and let the fruit acid and 17 types of natural extracts get to work for an hour while you kick back. Then the fun part begins: your dead skin will start to peel off within five to seven days, revealing super smooth feet that'll have you counting down the days 'til sandal season. @babyfootusa / Via Promising review:"My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn't burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It's REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don't need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it's totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I've recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." — Mostly Maven Get it from Amazon for $24.98. 32. And!!! A jar of the ever-popular O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet foot cream that's impressed thousands of Amazon reviewers. The thick cream not only hydrates but also forms a protective barrier to keep your feet looking their best over time. Don't be shocked if they basically transform right in front of your eyes. Amazon, Promising review: "I have battled problems with my feet for over 25 years. Due to my obsessive running, I had infections and cracked feet that were painful. I have spent thousands of dollars with doctors trying to heal my feet. After the doctors did all they could do, my feet were better, but I could not completely eliminate the dryness and cracking. I have tried dozens of creams, pedicures, rasping, wrapping, and on and on. After one month with this cream, my feet look normal. Because of my schedule, I put the cream on after my morning shower and then put my socks on for the day. After 25 years, I have normal feet! I wanted to share this information with others like me who have struggled with their feet like I have. Give it a try!" — E. H. Jones Get it from Amazon for $8.26+ (available in two sizes and also available in packs of two and 12). 33. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away! Promising review:"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." — Adrienne Jerkins Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles). 34. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant, which has become a holy grail for people dealing with keratosis pilaris and all other bumpy skin-related issues. The mix of chemical and physical exfoliators will slough away dead skin and have you feeling silky smooth in just a few uses. Amazon, Check out a dermatologist reviewing this magical product on TikTok! Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." — Launa Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in two sizes and two-packs). 35. A tub of dual-textured toner pads from K-beauty brand Medicube — it uses the power of lactic and salicylic acid to wipe away dead skin cells and help reduce the appearance of pores and blackheads. After cleansing, use the textured side for a deep exfoliation, then flip to the smooth side to soothe and mop up any excess oil. Check it out on TikTok. Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. The product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), has no strong smell, the cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." — Ee El Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $15.12 (also available in four other styles). 36. A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that's been clogging up your ear. Just apply five to 10 drops to your ear, keep your head tilted for several minutes to let the carbamide peroxide loosen your hardened ear wax, then flush away any remaining wax with warm water in a bulb or syringe. However, It's always a good idea to chat with your ENT before using any ear-cleaning products! Promising review:"I started applying the drops twice daily with a warm water bulb flush once a day. On the first day, only a little bit of wax came out, but the ear wax buildup was dissolving. The second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled the entire day, but when I did the ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out, and my hearing was restored. I continued the treatment for both ears, and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the ear wax as well. By the fourth day, all of the built-up ear wax was cleared out, and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" — RnG Get it from Amazon for $6.69 (also available in a pack of two). 37. And an ear-washing bottle to help clear out the impacted wax that's causing you to say "huh?!" every time someone speaks to you. Just fill the bottle with an ear cleaning solution of your choice (some reviewers suggest a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide), insert the cleaning tip into your ear, and then give the bottle a few spritzes to help loosen up all the gunk. You'll be hearing in 4K in no time. Promising review:"I am a waxy gal and use this thing every six months to clean out my ears, and I LOVE IT. It's easy to use, and I go from hard of hearing to hearing again within 10 minutes without days and days of ear drops or ENT visits. The nasty ear wax plug at the end is sooo gross and satisfying! Can't recommend highly enough." — Weebster Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 38. A 10% niacinamide serum from popular Korean beauty brand Anua — it'll help even your skin tone thanks to the blend of 4% tranexamic acid and 2% arbutin. Your skin will be left with a plump and dewy glow — and will also be grateful for the fragrance-free and non-sticky formula. It's fragrance-free and cruelty-free! Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops, but they haven't worked as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day, and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves a dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — Reynalyn Canillo Get it from Amazon for $22. 39. A tattoo aftercare salve to make your precious ink pop like it did when you first got it. The creamy formula includes almond oil to improve the tone and texture, as well as shea and cocoa butter to hydrate and add a subtle sheen. More than 13,000 reviewers swear by it, with many saying it absorbs super quickly and actually makes their tattoos look more vibrant. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower is a huge fan of this salve:"I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!" Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Get it from Amazon for $18.80+ (available in two scents). 40. Seamless bra liners you'll wonder how you ever got by without. Simply place them in your bra and let the moisture-wicking fabric do its magic while keeping you extra comfy. FYI: They're machine-washable! Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65° outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." — Niko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in several color combos).

Shopping · Your little secret of earwax, ingrowns, or clogged pores can stay between you and your Amazon cart — no need to get the Walgreens employee involved in this. 1. A fungal nail renewal treatment if your toenails are starting to show shades of yellow, brown, and green... and we're not talking about nail polish colors here. This helps treat fungal damage and discoloration within two days, so soon enough, you'll be rockin' those opened-toed shoes with no worries! 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 $16.43. 2. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes since you're someone who tends to get a little sweaty, and the sweat stains on your shirt show it as clear as day. Whether you apply these on your armpits, chest, or hands, these will help you get through the day feeling dry and not sweating like a sinner in church. Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 3. I Dew Care dry shampoo powder for those who have really shiny hair, and by shiny, I mean oily, greasy roots that remind you that hair wash day was like the day before yesterday. Tap this on, and it'll revive your locks until you actually wash your hair. This is TSA-friendly which makes it great for traveling and on-the-go touch ups. BTW, this is cruelty-free! It's suitable for all hair types, too. Get a look at how it's used on TikTok. Promising review: "I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I've tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly along my part and easily skip a shampoo without being self-conscious or having an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." — Dino Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in multipacks). 4. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel because now that it's starting to be sandal season, you want to get rid of all that dead skin building up on your heels. Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and in packs of two). 5. And a foot file to go the extra mile and transform those feet from looking as dry as the Sahara Desert to feeling as smooth as a baby's bottom! Promising review:"BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn't matter if I wear socks all the time I always get dry heals. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually, it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I've never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." — Mickenzie Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 6. Mighty Patches made with hydrocolloid to suck out all the gunk and reveal a smoother and less noticeable pimple overnight. You can literally SEE how well these work, and they'll be super handy for covering up that volcano of a pimple that popped up at the worst possible time. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review:"These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C. Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 7. And a pack of cold sore healing patches *also* made with hydrocolloid to cover up that annoying thing near your lip and help reduce pain, scabbing, and blistering. This is a sure way to hit that cold sore with an NSYNC bye 👋🏼 bye 👋🏼 bye! Promising review:"I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." — Jessica Hill Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $39.98 (also available as a pack of 15). 8. A teeth-whitening pen for when you're noticing that your pearly whites aren't looking so... pearly and white. No need to bother with annoying whitening strips because with consistent daily use, you won't be able to help but smile at these easy-to-achieve results. 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 on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 9. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" because we all brush our teeth every day, but flossing... that's another story. Thankfully, these tiny bristles do the flossing for you, getting all that plaque that builds up in between your teeth! Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what my colleague Emma Lord has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack). 10. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion so you can do suns out buns out with no worrying or second guessing. This tea tree oil formula can help soothe and prevent future breakouts. Your bum will be so glad you bought this just in time for spring and summer! Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Cleveland Clinic. Apply this gentle treatment 3–4 times a day or 4–6 times if the situation is more serious. Promising review:"I've used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is the skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available as a two-pack). 11. Wart-removing pads that'll help get rid of those pesky warts under your skin that just seem to never. go. away. These are concentrated with salicylic acid to remove them in no time! Promising review:"I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" — K Pic Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three styles). 12. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap, which has gone viral on TikTok as a lifesaver for anyone struggling with dark spots. Whether it's your face or your armpits, you'll notice a visible difference and feel moisturized thanks to its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and vitamin E! Promising reviews:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." — Michaella Leyein Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in larger multipacks). 13. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant meant for tackling those "chicken skin" spots on the body (aka keratosis pilaris). The glycolic acid and lactic acid help buff away dead skin, and soon enough, you'll be saying "bye-bye, bumps" and "hello, smooth skin!" Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have had the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now, which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes and in packs of two). 14. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo so you can finally get rid of those itchy, dry flakes once and for all. This is made with 1% ketoconazole, which gets to the ~root~ of the dandruff and makes sure that your scalp will look nice and clear, just how you want it! This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b – 4c curls mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C. Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 15. A pair of charcoal shoe deodorizers because you're starting to realize that your shoes are smelling like... well... stinky feet. These bamboo charcoal packs absorb odors and moisture, so you can stop that foot stank in its tracks! You can reuse them for up to two years! Set them out in the sun for an hour to re-activate the charcoal. Promising review:"I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes!!! So, I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. This was the answer. I honestly couldn't believe it. A few days after placing them in my prised-off shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that's pushing things, but I've got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!!!" — Erin Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.95 (available in larger packs). 16. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle that'll flush out all that gunk you didn't even realize was building up in your ears. Whether you think the results are satisfying or gross, this truly does the job. This is super easy to use and gets so much more than any Q-tip ever could (and btw, you shouldn't use Q-tips in your ears anyway)! 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 with no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea Get it from Amazon for $31.95. 17. A tube of antiperspirant hand cream specifically meant for those who deal with excessive hand sweating (aka hyperhidrosis). Gone are the days of clammy, sweaty hands with this non-greasy lotion. Now you won't have to ~sweat it~ anytime someone goes in for a handshake! Amazon Read more about the use of antiperspirants to manage symptoms of hyperhidrosis at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working AMAZING." — HECTOR LORENZO Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two scents and in multipacks). 18. A bottle of Bio-Oil with vitamin E and chamomile oil to help reduce the appearance of annoying acne scars or stretch marks. This can help boost collagen production and rubs on soooo smooth. If I don't convince you, then maybe the 39,000+ 5-star reviews will. Bio-Oil Promising review:"AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put BioOil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation. BioOil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." — Amazon Customer Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $11.12. 19. A bottle of signature Fur Oil to ward off ingrown hairs and soften and moisturize the skin around your pubic area. Reviewers say this works wonders and doesn't leave them feeling greasy down there. Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know "Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes). 20. A top-rated, alcohol-free oral rinse you'll want to use after you brush and floss if you really want to hit the nail on the head and get rid of bad breath. This is your ticket to minty fresh breath! Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. I've found that gargling and using the TheraBreath throat spray in addition to rinsing with this have greatly improved my breath. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint). 21. And a stainless-steel tongue scraper that will simultaneously get all that gunk off your tongue AND help eliminate the cause of bad breath. If you love satisfyingly gross results, you'll definitely want to add this to your oral hygiene routine! Promising review:"I never realized how much gunk was on my tongue in the mornings. Pretty disgusting actually. My mouth feels extra clean after using this. Great quality stainless steel. To sanitize it, I just dip it in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. The only thing others may have an issue with is storage as it doesn't come with a case or anything. Simple solution, though. I put up a small hook next to my toothpaste and toothbrush and hang it on that." — Alexis T. Get it from Amazon for $7.95. 22. A set of seamless bra liners because your body does, in fact, produce sweat under your boobs, of all places. Curse you, sweat gods! This cotton and bamboo strap is moisture-wicking and also provides an extra layer of comfort. Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." — Niko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in several color combos). 23. A piercing bump solution for anyone who wants to get rid of that little "accessory," aka the keloid that gets in the way of them fully enjoying their newest piercing. This will help reduce its size and let the piercing actually heal how it should. This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in a two-pack). 24. A L'Oreal root-concealing spray to make it look like you didn't put off your hair appointment for the third time! This is super easy to use, lasts until your next shampoo, and SO many reviewers say it blends great and looks natural. Promising review:"This product is terrific for hiding the pesky gray hairs that start to emerge 1–2 weeks after coloring my hair. I have dark hair, and a lot of gray around my forehead and temple areas, so any gray hairs are beyond obvious. Once they start to peek out, I use this product and I can last another couple of weeks before coloring." — Carissa K Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 11 colors and in packs of two or three). 25. Or a root touchup powder if you're looking for something that is travel-friendly (aerosol-free) and easy to pack for on-the-go touchups. The built-in puff allows for precise application, so you can fix those roots that are growing a little too fast for your liking. Check it out in action on TikTok here! Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer "LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." — Catie B. Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors). 26. An internet-famous foot peel mask, which will probably make you feel like a snake shedding its skin, but oh boy, will this do the trick for getting all that dead skin off your feet. Leave this on for an hour, and in the following days, you'll see dead skin fall right off. Promising review:"My poor feet have been extremely neglected ever since I was pregnant two years ago. This was the first time I really ever had very rough, hard heels and 'old' looking feet; they were so bad that I didn't even want to have a pedicure or wear sandals. Anyway, these foot peels were super easy to use and boy are they effective. It was the fourth day that my feet began to peel — very strange! Totally painless. The new skin coming through was very soft, like new. I would totally recommend. My sister and mother have requested their boxes." — Ally CHR Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three scents and a three-pack and four-pack). 27. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution because nothing is more annoying than feeling that day one smoothness right after shaving, and then day two rolls around with razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Apply this right after shaving to help prevent future razor bumps as well as combat the hairs that seem to never give you a break. Promising review: " After many years of razor burn on my face/neck, I finally broke down and bought this per a friend's recommendation. I have sensitive skin and had given up hope that anything could help. This totally changed my outlook on shaving. My neck especially would be the worst. I dab it on immediately after I rinse and dry, post-shave. It does burn a bit but that goes away pretty quickly. Totally worth it to not have razor burn/bumps anymore. I only apply it once after shaving even though the directions recommend repeat applications the following day. Go ahead and purchase, you won't be disappointed!" — bill nye Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 28. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream that really is THAT GIRL when it comes to improving your skin's elasticity, texture, and firmness. It's got salicylic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells and glycerin and aloe for ultra hydration. There's no doubt that you'll be turning heads (and necks) when you start using this stuff on your décolletage. Promising review: "This neck cream has seriously outperformed my high-priced neck creams. Gold Bond proves that great products don't always come at a high price. I was very skeptical that this neck cream would really perform as I've tried numerous creams over the years with no results. The immediate effect has been absolutely incredible for me. It's very rich, and well, it's just miraculous how much it has improved the appearance of my saggy, crepey neck. The smell is light. I will definitely purchase again." — LostinSouthBama Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in a two-pack). 29. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula if you want a fast way to get all those blackheads without poking and prodding your face, only to leave you with red marks all over your face. This uses high-frequency vibrations to unclog your pores and will have you feeling like you got a facial right at home! See it in action on TikTok! My colleague Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!" Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors).

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · It's true — there's a fix for those ingrown hairs, fungal nails, and sweaty pits. 1. A fungal nail renewal treatment because there is indeed a solution to that funky toenail that's been bothering you. It targets fungal nail damage and may help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness you wish would disappear. 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 $13.33. 2. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to help liven up your tired eyes with a lightweight formula that delivers excellent coverage in just a few swipes. If you wanna minimize the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, look no further! 👀 The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 3. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if sweaty pits are ruining your day, every single day. Give your armpits a swipe before bed, wash them in the morning, and you could potentially enjoy up to seven days of bliss with less sweat. Each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 4. Or some aluminum-free deodorant wipes so you don't feel the need to hole up inside just to avoid the chance of stinky pits. These will help keep odors at bay and leave you with a fresh coconut scent! Amazon Promising review:"I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin, or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." — Vicky Reyes Get a pack of 30 wipes from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in multipacks). 5. A vegan ingrown hair oil that can help relieve the painful redness and irritation — you know, the stuff you'd like to pretend doesn't exist. It contains skin-softening jojoba seed oil and anti-inflammatory tea tree oil so you can kiss razor burn and ingrown hairs goodbye. Bushbalm Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas. Promising review:" I've bought this product numerous times and it never fails. I have no more ingrowns and it also helps so much with irritation after shaving!" — Pris Get it from Amazon or Bushbalm for $26. 6. Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, which is a biotin-infused formula to help strengthen hair, smooth split ends, and hydrate dry scalps. It promotes growth at the root and is perf for 3A–4C hair types. Oh, and reviewers swear by it for eyebrows, too! According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard I hardly write reviews.. but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week.. just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this.. hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.36 7. I Dew Care dry shampoo powder — it'll help revive limp, greasy hair and add some much-needed volume. It's a hypoallergenic powder that absorbs oil, sweat, and dirt so locks stay fresh longer! BTW, this is cruelty-free! It's suitable for all hair types, too. Get a look at how it's used on TikTok. Promising review: "I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I've tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly along my part and easily skip a shampoo without being self-conscious or having an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." — Dino Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in multipacks). 8. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel if you desire downright mesmerizing results in a matter of minutes. The best part? You won't have to pay for a very unpleasant visit to the nail salon. Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles and in packs of two). 9. And a foot file so you can finish the job and swap crusty feet for baby-soft ones. All you have to do is rub this file back and forth on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off! Promising review:"BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn't matter if I wear socks all the time I always get dry heals. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually, it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I've never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." — Mickenzie Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 10. A genuinely ~wonder~ful balm for resolving just about any persistent skin condition you've been praying would just vanish on its own. Whether it's ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, or plain old dry skin, this stuff may be the solution you've been searching for. Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie Get it from Amazon for $36.32. 11. A pack of cold sore healing patches made with hydrocolloid that'll jumpstart the healing process. These ultra-thin patches are hardly noticeable and can help with pain relief, scabbing, and blistering. See ya never, cold sores!! Promising review:"I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." — Jessica Hill Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $27.96 (also available as a pack of 15). 12. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen to help banish stubborn stains from wine, coffee, and tea that you've tried literally everything else on. It's painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored! 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 on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 13. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" when you wanna remove those annoying food particles stuck between your teeth. These not-so-ordinary brushes have multilayer bristles that act as strong pieces of floss to get in there REAL good. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what my colleague Emma Lord has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack). 14. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil if you love results you can *actually* see. This stuff removes all traces of makeup and sucks sebum from your pores so that your skin is visibly clearer and smoother. If clogged pores are your main complaint, this stuff is for you! 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 review: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you've been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." — A Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 15. A facial hair trimmer for anyone who is done enduring the slow agony of tweezers. Now you can remove unwanted hair so it's like it never existed at all! If you're someone who prefers no facial hair, this electric trimmer will get the job done quickly and painlessly. Promising review: "I am beside myself with this purchase!! I bought it hoping it would at least somewhat work, as so many don't. This is absolutely perfection! It works well, it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire, and most WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple of days later and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" — Sandy E'Bell Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in four styles). 16. Or these tiny dermaplaning razors that'll help eliminate stray hairs or peach fuzz *and* reduce the chances of missing a spot. They leave your skin feeling silky-smooth, which allows for smooth, seamless makeup application! Promising review:"Amazing!! So easy to use. My skin is soooooo smooth after. I love the cap you can place on it when doing your eyebrows so you protect your eyelashes. I mainly use it for eyebrows and upper lip. I wish I would have bought these sooner!!!" — Colleen Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in packs of nine). 17. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion because your bum needs some lovin' too! This formula is rich in tea tree oil to help soothe and prevent future breakouts. Trust me, your cheeks will thank you. 18. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and can help draw the gunk out of annoying zits that won't leave you alone. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking. Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review:"These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C. Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a 72-pack). 19. And some overnight hydrocolloid nose patches so you can win the battle against excess oil, irritating pimples, and enlarged pores. You'll get immense satisfaction from peeling off the patch to reveal all the stuff that was clinging to your skin. Promising review: "I use these nose patches on my actual nose, my forehead, and my chin because I have very oily skin, and WHEW do they draw out the gross gunk in my pores. My skin feels AMAZING after I use them!!" — Lillie Blanton Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98. 20. Wart-removing pads you can use on those pesky warts you've been struggling with. Apply the medicated pads like bandages and they'll help shrink it. Replace every 48 hours until the growth goes POOF! Promising review:"I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" — K Pic Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7+ (available in three styles). 21. Sulfate-free Biotin shampoo made with botanical extracts to help thicken and hydrate your hair if that's your preference. It also clarifies and removes product buildup! If you're not a fan of taking supplements and hoping it'll fix thinning hair, try this! Talk to your doctor before using this product if you're experiencing hair loss. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get the value size bottle from Amazon for $32.95 (available in four sizes and as a two-pack). 22.

With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!). 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 $19.99+ (available in five scents). 23. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap with truly magical results that'll leave your jaw on the floor. It uses hyaluronic acid, shea butter, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and soothe skin while minimizing dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes. Promising reviews:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring.

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 Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 25. Or an earwax removal kit made with carbamide peroxide to help draw out stubborn wax. The results may make ya queasy, but you'll think twice about sticking cotton swabs in your ear again! Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 26. Seamless bra liners because even though it's a perfectly normal bodily function, it's also perfectly normal to wish it would go away FOREVER. These are made from a soft cotton and bamboo blend to help absorb moisture and prevent discomfort from painful underwire. Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" — Niko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and six color combos). 27. Or some 'bust dust' anti-boob-sweat powder so your bra stays dry regardless of how unbelievably extra the sun is being. This talc-fee powder contains lavender and chamomile for a soothing, sprayable solution you'll keep comin' back to. Ulta Megababe is a woman-owned small business! Promising review: 'Lifesaver! I wear a very full D cup and this saves me during the summer months. Needless to say, the Florida heat is unrelenting and I cannot live without this Bust Dust. It definitely does the trick to keep my bra dry!' — wenb Get it from Ulta or Megababe for $16, or from Amazon for $15.97. 28. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller that'll minimize the unwelcome shiny, oily layer that suddenly appears after doing your makeup. This magical tool will absorb it with just a few swipes. No extra powder required! It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again! Promising review:"I was shocked! This actually works. It takes the oil away without distributing the makeup. Game changer for me. I don't know why I didn't know about this sooner." — Lesa A. Get it from Amazon for $9.22. 29. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to leave you with the smooth, healthy skin you've always dreamed of. No more dry patches or bumps killing your mood! Reviewers with keratosis pilaris and other similar skin textures swear by it. Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have had the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now, which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in four sizes and in packs of two). 30. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula if you wish you could experience that post-facial glow a lil' more often without actually paying for a pricey facial — problem solved! This tool can help unclog pores via high-frequency vibrations. Each cycle lasts for five minutes before it automatically turns off. Bonus: Your skincare products will be better absorbed after using it! See it in action on TikTok! My colleague Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!" Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 31. Bio-Oil — it has such a long list of benefits, you'll never run out of uses for it! It can help even your skin tone, fade stretch marks, and reduce the appearance of acne scars. It absorbs super quickly so it won't feel heavy or greasy, either. Promising review:"What kind of sorcery is this? I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for weeks.... this stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson Get it from Amazon for $11.12 (also available in a 24-pack). 32. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel because removing unwanted hair doesn't have to be the most tedious task in the world. This hydrating cream gently removes hair and helps reduce the chance of painful ingrowns. Apply evenly, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove it with the spatula, then rinse. It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a two-pack). 33. A blackhead scrub stick that can help with excess sebum and other impurities that might be clogging your precious pores. After cleansing, rub it on your face to exfoliate *and* eliminate stubborn blackheads and whiteheads! This thing works so well, you'll soon forget blackheads were even a thing. Psst! TikTokers love this thing! Promising review: " Years of stubborn whiteheads and blackheads gone after a few uses! I wish I had bought this sooner! I've been struggling with deep whiteheads and blackheads on my chin and nose for years. I get monthly facials with microdermabrasion and it barely helps. After about a week's worth of use out of this, they are finally coming to the surface and can be extracted!" — Allie Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 34. An exfoliating scrub mitt for ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing other annoying probs, like bumps and ingrown hairs. Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a two-pack). 35. Stila's One-Step Color-Correcting Facial Serum, which may help even your skin tone and brighten your complexion by combining a heavenly blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with color theory. (Peach negates purple dark circles, green negates splotchy redness, etc.) Bye-bye, redness and dark spots!! 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 $34.20 (available in four shades). 36. Lumify Eye Drops because redness and irritation are, in fact, not a fact of life if you don't want 'em to be. Reviewers praise this TikTok-famous product for its ability to *instantly* reduce redness and provide dry eye relief. (It's the #1 dry eye relief product on Amazon for a reason!) Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.37 37. Silicone Kegel weights if you're ready to take charge of your health down there. It's great for Kegel newbies and can help with incontinence, especially if you've given birth recently. It's also ideal for anyone who wants more enjoyable *and* less painful sex. Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor. Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 38. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo to help keep your hair free of those bothersome flakes you want so badly to be free of. Apply it to wet hair, lather it up real nice, then rinse thoroughly. This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b – 4c curls mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C. Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 39. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash made with aloe, mint, and tea tree soap for lessening those common skin irritations that won't quit like rashes, acne, and dry or cracked skin. It also smells absolutely wonderful on account of the coconut, olive, and jojoba oils! Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising reviews:"I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it's made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" — Blackburn's "I wanted to wait to review after two weeks of use. I've noticed that my usual BO at the end of the day is now nonexistent. My back and chest acne have cleared up. I haven't gotten any ingrown hairs or experienced any re-growth itching on my bikini line. This thing is magic in a bottle and I wished I had found it sooner!" — xXSUXx Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 40. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair that'll help repair the dry, cracked, and/or chapped lips you've been dealing with. If you're already familiar with the brand's famous Working Hands cream, you know it's the real deal. Why not give your pout the same royal treatment while you sleep? Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams Get it from Amazon for $10.56 (also available as a two-pack). 41. A pack of coconut-scented nail strengthening cream so you can repair short, brittle nails that continue existing despite your best efforts. This cream is rich in calcium, jojoba oil, and vitamins to help strengthen nails, condition cuticles, and promote growth. Promising review:"My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several times a day and after two months, my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.88. 42. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to help conquer stale breath and leave your mouth with a fresh, clean feeling. No one will be offering you an unsolicited stick of gum anytime soon! Promising review:"This product works!! High-quality material, well made, easy to clean, corrosion resistant, at least in my experience. I can tell this will last a long time. And, it works!!!! Got rid of a coating on my tongue that other tongue scrapers and the tongue cleaners on toothbrushes did nothing for!! Noticed it got a lot off the first use!!! My tongue looks healthy, and my throat feels better. Once a thicker layer starts on the tongue due to postnasal drip there's nothing else that got rid of it. It's easy to hold and doesn't gag me at all. It comes with a travel case, which I love because I don't want anything that goes in my mouth loose in a bag." — Saffire Dragon Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 43. And for good measure, an alcohol-free oral rinse, which can assist in the fight against bad breath for 24 hours and doesn't have a super strong taste that lingers. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse! Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night. Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint). And if you need more convincing, check out our in-depth review of TheraBreath oral rinse!
