40 Personal Care Products Reviewers Love So Much, They Just Had To Spread The Word
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. They've told their friends, families, partners, clients, and anyone else who would they even took the time to write a review to tell you. 1. A pack of SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula to help put a stop to excessive sweating for anyone constantly drenched, no matter the weather or activity. Just wipe your underarms, let the solution dry overnight, and then wash up per usual! Each application helps keep you protected for up to seven sweat-free days. As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months! Promising review:"I'm a 20-year-old girl and come from a family of very heavy sweaters... As soon as I tried on the dress that the bride picked out for us, I knew my sweat stains would look horrendous. That was when I to find a way to stop sweating so much. "Clinical Strength" antiperspirants/deodorants were not working as well as I hoped. I was wearing sanitary pads in my shirts for work so I wouldn't ruin my blouses! Thankfully, I found a mention about Sweatblock in a blog and looked it up. At first, I was tentative because sweating is a natural process and it couldn't be safe to stop it. But Sweatblock only stops sweat in the areas you apply it, and it is only temporary. It is basically just a very concentrated antiperspirant... I told everyone in my family about it because we all share the same 'sweat genes' and every family photo is ridden with sweat stains! My oldest brother makes jokes now because it's not uncommon for me to say something and finish the sentence with, "but that was before Sweatblock, now I don't have that problem at all!" It is exciting to say that I now have a LOT more colors in my wardrobe as well as different materials and *gasp* long sleeve shirts that aren't hoodies! It's a cliche, I know, but Sweatblock really has had a major influence on my confidence and everyday comfort. I suggest it to absolutely everyone that sweats [a lot]" — Jacey Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes). 2. A protective cuticle conditioner that boasts a non-greasy formula featuring moisturizing shea and cocoa butter, vitamin E, goji berry, and other organic ingredients that are deeply absorbed by the skin, like lotion. You can even use it on your nails for additional strengthening and shine, so your manicure always looks fresh (even if it's been a while)! Promising review: "I love this product! I tell everyone about it. Fast results and a little goes a long way. The scent is very light and not really noticeable. Leaves skin looking (and feeling) soft and moisturized. I like to apply around cuticles with a small brush." — aria Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and two packs). 3. Lumify Eye Drops to help reduce redness and provide dry eye relief in record time. It didn't climb its way to being a number one seller for no reason — according to reviewers, you see results in just minutes! 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 reviews:"Hands down the best redness reducer out there. It works quickly and keeps redness away. I even use it with contacts and have sensitive eyes — some reassurance if anyone reading does, too. I tell everyone about this stuff. Don't want people to think that you're high? Get this. Want to enhance the look of your eye makeup? Get this." — Lindsey "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 created with panthenol and allantoin, which help promote the production of new skin cells and keep your skin moisturized for a speedier wound-healing and scar-fading process. Reviewers even say it works on older scars, so adding this to your medicine cabinet is a no-brainer! Promising reviews:" I've tried many different scar gels and creams but this gel sets them apart! First off, my facial scar (injury, penny size, darkened skin) was two weeks old, and within just one month, my scar is barely noticeable! Yes, I applied the gel three times a day, including overnight. So patience and consistency are key to getting results! Now for the product: it smells great for daily use, it's light and goes on clear, it dries within a few minutes. The amount of gel in the container is AMAZING. I've recommended it to a few friends already. Good luck!" — Frugal "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 that comes with everything you need to start doing your own hair removal from the comfort of your home! It includes a variety of wax beads for different body areas and the warmer is designed with an adjustable knob and digital display for precision heating.

The wax is easy to use, and the warmer has different temperatures to help get the wax to the perfect temp for everyone who uses it." — Arianna seals "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 five styles and also with six packs of wax beads). 6. Plus, a nose-hair wax kit if tweezing your nostrils has a permanent place in your top five painful grooming processes. This wax kit takes two minutes of setting and one determined pull to keep your lower nostrils hair-free for up to a month! The kit includes 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 15 paper cups. Note: The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out harmful debris. But of course, it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as removing nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs. Read more about it at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"Works well and does as advertised. Have recommended it to friends already. Great product." — Dustyn " I bought this for my son, but then everyone in the family used it, and it's legit! I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with dark nose hair. It gets just the right amount off without getting too deep into your nose. It's important to keep some hair to keep allergens out. In all honestly, it doesn't hurt. Be sure to follow the instructions and don't hesitate when doing the final pull. This will definitely be a repurchase!!" — LovetoShop Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 7. And Veet's sensitive hair removal gel — a hydrating cream that helps remove short, stubborn hairs that your razor never seems to fully get. It applies like lotion, sits on the skin for 5–10 minutes while it works its magic, and then you remove it with the included spatula or a damp cloth and rinse! It's so easy, no wonder it's earned over 47,000 5-star ratings on Amazon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 follow it up with this dermatologist-approved vegan ingrown hair treatment oil created with antioxidant-rich ingredients, including hydrating jojoba oil, soothing grapeseed oil, and more. This popular post-shave oil flies off the (virtual) shelves because of how well it has helped users reduce the appearance and irritation of ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and redness after waxing or shaving. Bushbalm Read more about tea tree oil at Mayo Clinic. Bushbalm is a small business with a focus on skincare for everyone and all skin types that are created with naturally derived ingredients.

Can't keep this from my girls!!" — Marisol G. " 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 Bushbalm for $26. 9. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, which is made with salicylic acid for exfoliating, and glycerin and aloe to make sure your refreshed skin stays hydrated throughout the day. After a few applications, you may start seeing improvement in the elasticity and texture of your skin, as well as a glowy, smoother complexion! Promising review: "I saw this on a YouTube channel of a woman in her 50's. She showed how well it worked for her and a friend... The cream goes on light, absorbs well and tightens the skin without drying or leaving a scent. I use it in the morning and after my evening shower (on dry skin). I also use it on small areas around my face and have noticed a difference when I turn my head and look in the mirror — there seems to be less of a loose look, and that makes a huge difference (in pictures, for sure). I recommend this product and have even told my mom about it. For the price, it really does a better job than some of the high-end products on the market. Buy it now!" — MShea Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). 10. And Gold Bond's face and body lotion designed for moisturizing, plumping, and firming skin on the rest of your body that seems more prone to fine lines and wrinkles — reviewers say it's spectacular for improving the look of crepey skin! It's formulated with omega fatty acids to help promote elasticity in your skin, soothe irritation, and of course, keep the largest organ of your body supple and hydrated! Promising reviews: " This purchase is my second purchase, but this time for my 75-year-old mother. I loved this and have told anyone who will listen about it. This lotion is actually fully scent-free and really does an amazing job in helping with the crepey-looking skin on my arms and neck. I would try lotion after lotion and coconut oil, too, and they didn't help, but this stuff is sorcery. Thank you Gold Bond!" — AmazonWendi "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 $11.97+ (available in three sizes). 11. A piercing bump solution for anyone who has experienced keloids, bumps, and scars with their piercings. This will help reduce their appearance, shrink bumps, promote skin cell turnover, and even deliver some partial relief if you can't get an appointment with your doc ASAP. Of course, this is not an overnight miracle product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I had never dealt with a bump on my piercing before, but after swapping my nose stud for a hoop while on vacation, I developed a nasty bump that I was extremely embarrassed about. Thankfully, I found this solution and received it the next day. Let me tell you… this stuff works fast! I noticed a difference after just one day of use, and with continued application, my piercing bump is completely gone. I'm so relieved and grateful for this product! I've already recommended it to friends because it truly was a lifesaver. Highly recommend!" — Pieweekend Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in multipacks). 12.

I've noticed that my usual BO at the end of the day is now nonexistent. My back and chest acne have cleared up.

This thing is magic in a bottle, and I wished I had found it sooner!" — xXSUXx Get it from Amazon for $14.49 (also available in a two-pack). 13.

Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with acne from Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"Wow! As an endurance athlete in the Midwest climate, my sensitive skin breaks out pretty badly every summer... I've had this seasonal breakout/ inflammation since I was in middle school and it's left a lot of scarring as well. I'm 30 years [old and] I finally found a product that works!!! I've already told several friends and family about this clearing lotion — it's the real deal! And since I've been using it for the past month, I have had ZERO breakouts, clear skin, and the appearance of my scars has dramatically decreased; I couldn't be happier! I use it in the morning before the gym, after my morning shower, and before bed every day... Works like a charm, zero smell, and NO stains on sheets/ towels/ clothing like prescription products!" — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a two-pack). 14. Bruise cream for anyone prone to bumping into chairs, stumbling, or accidentally hitting yourself — whoops! This moisturizing cream is formulated with arnica and vitamin K, which can help reduce the appearance of discoloration, swelling, or bruises and speed up the healing process. Arnica is often used to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds — read more about it on Mount Sinai. BTW — the brand suggests applying the product to your bruise as soon as possible, but some reviewers say it still works well on old bruises. Promising review:"Excellent product. I used this product for bruising following laser surgery for varicose veins. My doctor recommended this product to me, and after a week, I could see that the bruising was slowly disappearing... I told my daughter about this product, and she now uses it on my granddaughter who is always bumping her knees while at play or gymnastics." — Miss Millie "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 stuntman 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 and a two-pack). 15.

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 "I pair my Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist with this and I get so many compliments. I have gotten my sister, mom, friends, and coworkers hooked. Even my husband steals a bit to lather on from time to time. I apply it at night after I shower and can still smell it in the morning. It is a little pricey but so worth it and leaves me so soft whenever I use it." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub). 16. Or a retinol body lotion featuring skin-loving ingredients like vitamins A and E, shea butter, green tea, and aloe vera to help keep your skin moisturized and hydrated while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even sun damage! Promising reviews:"Love this lotion. As I age, my skin gets dryer, thinner, and crepey and this lotion has helped in all of these areas. I use it on my arms, legs, neck, and chest. I have told so many people about this, and I highly recommend this lotion." — Deanie Grisham "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 17. A "flossing" toothbrush with several layers of soft bristles to reach between teeth, under the gums, and deep into hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get.

Just FYI, this toothbrush is not a substitute for flossing, and if you have any concerns about using this make sure to talk to your dentist! Mouthwatchers is a dentist-founded small business that specializes in creating toothbrushes to help patients get a truly deep clean. 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 reviews: "I didn't think that a toothbrush could impress me, but it really has. I can't stop myself from telling people about it. I don't think I can use another brand of toothbrush again!" — Amazon Customer "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. 18. A pair of stainless-steel tongue scrapers that'll help eradicate bad breath and bacteria buildup and enhance your tastebuds to make your mouth feel better than ever.

Mouthology is a small business creating personal care products. Promising reviews:"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 "I'm really conscious of having good oral hygiene. My daughter bought two of these, one for herself and one for her husband. She raved about them and then told me to buy some... I've used a plastic one forever, and they work okay. But these stainless steel ones are fantastic. They're obviously going to be way more durable. But they also clean much, much better. ...They're [also] wider, so they cover scraping a larger portion of my tongue. They're super easy to clean too. I highly recommend these. They'll last forever." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in four different styles). 19. A pair of teeth-whitening pens for removing years (!!!) of plaque and staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day!

Promising reviews:" I've been getting A LOT of compliments on my teeth lately and I tell people about this product. I like how it doesn't break the bank like other expensive versions but still gives phenomenal results. Will be purchasing again." — brian "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 two times a day, but for now, I'm just using it once 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 at how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." — Adam Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.98. 20.

You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more. Promising reviews:"This is my third box. They clean my Invisalign really nicely. They always have a fresh taste as before I had to brush my Invisalign. They really last a long time. I also bought my friend a box too." — K-G 🐿️ "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 or 240). 21.

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 up 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. I told my friends all about them! ...I would definitely recommend it 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 Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 22.

Put them on as soon as you start feeling one. It seems to keep the cold sores from becoming enormous, AND they COVER THEM! No more wondering if people can tell (they can't, I asked); no more fighting between wanting to touch it to see how big it is and knowing you shouldn't — you can, but you don't have to because it's not going anywhere.

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 "...Looked, smelled, and felt like shampoo. I began using it daily, following the instructions of leaving it in for a couple of minutes before rinsing it out. I was about [halfway] through the bottle used when I really began noticing a difference in the mirror. The roots of my hair on my scalp weren't as visible, it looked fuller. I told a coworker and they tried it too. I was about done with the bottle when my wife commented on my hair looking fuller as well.

I went to a dermatologist who told me my scalp problem was called seborrheic dermatitis. ...The dermatologist prescribed me a shampoo with 2% ketoconazole. It was expensive and I used it up after a summer or so. Since then, I tried buying animal 1% ketoconsazole shampoos, then I found this. It's great. It's not 2% but I don't have to pay for a doctor visit or a prescription medication, either. So then I told my brother, who had the same issues. I told a bunch of people, and everyone kept thinking, gee, I need to try tea tree charcoal salicylate blah blah blah, no, all you need is a ketoconazole shampoo to control a fungus.

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 it again.

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.
