31 Personal Care Products That According To Reviewers Begin Delivering Results 'Immediately'
1. Lumify Eye Drops to help reduce redness 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! This will really come in handy now that allergy season is ramping up, so you'll want it in your purse alongside tissues. 🤧 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:"The standout feature of the Lumify drops comes down to the rapid redness relief. I notice a significant reduction in redness almost immediately and it seems to last for awhile as opposed to wearing off quickly. I think it's worth noting that Lumify primarily focuses on redness relief as opposed to dry-eye relief. I often to use other drops alongside these for additional lubrication. That might be too fussy for some people but I love the Lumify drops so much for redness that I find it worth it." — Beth Get it from Amazon for $11.93 2. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula which uses high-frequency vibrations to help unclog pores and exfoliate your skin. After each cleaning cycle, your face will be readily prepped to absorb skincare products and makeup better, leaving you with a more even complexion! It's getting warm out, so this tool will be a lifesaver in your routine at helping remove all that excess sebum that seems to seep out of the pores on your nose whenever you're outside for more than an hour. Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean! See it in action on TikTok here. 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 reviews:" Soooooo satisfying to use and see all the nasties that come out of my pores! My nose and forehead look WAY better after I'm done using this. Smoother, clearer skin, here we are!" — Shelly " Made a difference right away! I bought this for my daughter that has acne and rough bumpy skin. After the first use, we both noticed a difference. Works well and easy to use." — Kari Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 3. A splurge-worthy enzyme peel powder that transforms into a foamy lather packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and exfoliating green tea enzymes for a gentle, but effective clean. You can use it as a daily exfoliator without worrying about stripping or drying out your skin, instead showing off a naturally-radiant glow! Amazon Promising review:"I started using this amazing product because I was given a sample, and the first time I tried it, I knew it was something extra special. I could see a difference IMMEDIATELY (not kidding), and now I am a devout believer. This enzyme peel is the closest thing to getting an actual peel without the pain and the healing time — and cost — that's required. I now use it 2–3 times a week. It really does have instant results. I sometimes even go without makeup now. And I am 58 years old. That's impressive! Thanks Amore Pacific!" — Katharine Pope Get it from Amazon for $68. 4. A bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo created with a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your hair. Plus, since it's a clarifying shampoo, it also gets rid of product buildup on your scalp when you use it! Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"My hair has been thinning lately, when I took a shower there would be so much hair in the drain, and I have been watching thinning spots my hairline was actually receding... I washed my hair immediately the day I got it in the mail. And the first thing that floored me there was NO hair in the bottum of the tub or in my drain after I washed my hair. It has now been about two weeks, I've used it like three or four times, and I have NEW HAIR SPROUTING in my thinning spots. My hairline filling in. I don't even know what else to say but that this stuff is a miracle. Nothing less. And there is either none, or close to no hair loss when I wash my hair and brush it. It's almost ridiculous. I tell you, anyone who is on the fence as to whether they should try this shampoo, you should! My hair feels fuller and smells unbelievably fabulous... I will NEVER stop using this shampoo." — Cynthia Bowman Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three scents, and a two-pack). 5. Plus Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil that's infused with biotin and a blend of jojoba, rosemary, and mint oils to help nourish and moisturize the scalp and skin — which can also help your hair when it comes to strength and growth! Tend to your tresses (the ones on your head *and* your brows) with the TLC they deserve, and you might just end up feeling like Ga-Linda every time you *toss toss*! 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: " I have just started to use this product and have seen a visible difference in my hair. It immediately became softer and shined almost right after one or two uses. I am really thrilled with the results. I would need to use it a few more times to determine whether it prevents hair loss and hair breakage. However, I already love the results. The dropper is a great bonus to easily apply it on the scalp. I just massage it into my scalp and it absorbs nicely... It is a hair care game changer." — Elle "I have been using this ~2x a week and have seen pretty good results to be honest. I will put the oil on my scalp, massage product in for five minutes and leave it in for an hour. After an hour, I will rinse it out by shampooing twice like normal. My scalp used to be suuuuper itchy because it would get dry and I noticed immediately from the first use that this product helped with that. I wasn't expecting that because I was just using to take better care of my hair so that was a plus. Additionally my hair is super shiny and feels healthier overall." — marisa Get it from Amazon for $9.97 6. A Baebody snail mucin sheet mask, which boasts a combination of moisturizing snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera to help hydrate your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It's just perfect for anyone who struggles with a dry, parched complexion looking for a new addition to their skincare routine that'll deliver a glassy glow! Promising review: " I absolutely love this product and noticed a difference in my skin almost immediately. I am 56 and have always taken great care of my skin, but have a couple of age spots that reappear when I get sun and some slight wrinkles. I have been using this morning and night and seriously the spots have really faded and the small lines around my mouth are almost gone. Love that you can put this on in the morning and easy to apply makeup over top of it without any peeling. Will definitely purchase again!" — Katherine Get a pack of six from Amazon for $6.88. 7. A tattoo aftercare salve designed with a cruelty-free and vegan formula that helps soothe and protect skin to keep your previous "canvas" looking as good as new. Getting tattoos touched up can be expensive and difficult (especially if your artist has relocated), so definitely try out this balm to make your years-old ink look like you just left the shop! College buddies Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor founded Mad Rabbit after realizing there was a gap in the market for all-natural products used to heal, protect, and enhance the appearance of tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. 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:"I absolutely love this! Only time will tell if it will continue to maintain the color of my ink, but there was an immediate difference after I applied this the first time. I got my tattoo back in November and would like for it to stay dark and defined for as long as possible. I hadn't even realized the black had faded at all, but Mad Rabbit restored it to perfect jet black immediately..." — Katie Morin Get it from Amazon for $16.30+ (available in two scents). 8. The cult-favorite Laneige lip sleeping mask that transforms dry, chapped lips overnight. A hydrating blend of coconut oil, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter helps soften lips, but there's also a glossy finish in case you ever want to wear it out! It's earned over 37,000 5-star ratings from customers, too. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer uses this product, and here's what she has to say:"I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime, too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings, too!" Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, balms, Vaseline even, and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honest, the first time I used this product, I literally saw instant results overnight! I know it can be on a little pricey side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of, PLEASE buy this product; it's HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!" — Abdullah S. Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five colors/scents). 9. The Stila One-Step Color-Correcting Facial Serum, which is designed to help you color-correct and brighten your complexion by combatting redness and dark spots with the combination of color theory and a nourishing blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The reviewer below used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn, but it would also work well for correcting dark circles that pop up after a late night waiting in queue for concert tickets. 😮💨 Promising reviews:" I swear it's magic. My face literally clears all redness immediately. It's like a mousse consistency. You don't need to use much to get the desired look. Definitely worth the money!!" — Leka "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 colors). 10. A hydrating lip-plumping gloss duo featuring a ginger-infused plumping gloss to deliver expensive-looking volume to your pout by day, and a secondary, minty overnight mask so your lips can be nourished and softened after a full day of giving '90s no-makeup makeup look perfection. No fillers necessary! Promising review: "I loved this set — it gave me a good plump to my lips and they look so shiny afterwards. It immediately starts working and I would say it gives me more plump than other plumping products like the Too Faced lip gloss." — Enerel Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 11. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that warms up and transforms into an effective removal oil formulated with pearl barley and vitamin E to hydrate and nourish your skin during cleaning. There's nothing more satisfying than melting away your latest GRWM makeup experiment with a gentle if it did take hours to create. 🥲 Amazon, Juno & Co. is a small business based in California specializing in sustainable, yet effective skincare. Promising review:"Extremely effective while also being very gentle. The scent is a heavenly citrus. The consistency is perfect, and a little goes a long way. Apply to dry face, and it immediately goes to work dissolving dirt and makeup. I remove it using a soft washcloth. I used to use Clinique Take The Day Off, but Juno blows that one away and at a half the price." — LagunaBeachGal Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 12. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream — a tinted moisturizer created with SPF 42 and PA+++ to offer substantial protection from harmful UV rays along with buildable, lightweight coverage. If you'd prefer to *not* wear foundation all the time, this product offers a hydrating alternative (thanks, hyaluronic acid) to your skincare and makeup routine! FYI — PA stands for "Protection Grade of UVA", which is a four-level rating system commonly used in Asia-based products. PA+++ designates that this product is designed to offer high level of protection against UVA rays, which are the cause for darkening skin, rather than burning it. Unfortunately, the shade range is not very broad, so if you're looking for another option in this price range, check out E.l.f's Camo CC Cream! Promising reviews: "This product surprised me immediately in the best way. I have been searching for a complexion product as someone who's just starting to wear makeup in my 30s, I have dry patches and skin that gets super oily so it's challenging finding things that work and look beautiful. This immediately blurred my skin, evened out my redness, was not sticky, felt SOOO comforting and was a perfect color match. It wore perfectly at the first 6-hour wear test I did. For the price and quality, this is the only complexion product I want or need. It made me feel so beautiful and made my difficult sensitive skin happy." — Reese Lauren "I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this BB cream. I don't like wearing heavy makeup in the summer, but I also have rosacea, so I want something that feels lightweight but covers enough redness. This covered ALL of it, and it feels like I barely have anything on!! I just have this BB cream and some pressed powder on [pictured above, right]. I'm in the shade Warm Beige, and it's a perfect match. ALSO SPF 40?! Love, love, love, I'm about to buy a second bottle just to have!" — Mika Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (available in seven shades). 13. A super cute set of six silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout and can lead to great results like improved bladder control and, yup, more pleasurable sex. Sure, you can do Kegels on your own, but the additional weight will help strengthen your muscles so you can actually trust a sneeze without wetting your pants. The silicone material means these Kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water. Promising review:"I've had the Intimate Rose Kegel Exercise Weights for about two weeks now. So far so good. As a 46 y/o mom of 3 (2 C-section, 1 VBAC) who's had a hysterectomy and a hernia repair I am having some real issues with urinary incontinence. I absolutely dread sneezing, cannot do strenuous exercise, and am constantly rushing to the bathroom... I started out with weight #2 and have already moved up to weight #3 which is still presenting a challenge. I can honestly say that the changes have been pretty immediate. I sneezed the other day and DID NOT have to change my underwear!! :) I know my problem is not completely fixed yet, but I do I find that I have better control over the urge to urinate and don't have to run to the bathroom as often. It's working and I couldn't be happier! I have high hopes that it will continue to get better and that I'll soon be able to happily trip down any hallway I choose." — Margo Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 14. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution. Color-balancing in makeup is truly nothing short of practical if it can disappear dark circles and under-eye bags! Because of the color-balancing, each of the shade options is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the light rose would be best for fairer skin and the dark mocha hue would work for deeper skin tones. Promising review: "I have to start by saying I don't have severe eye bags. I do however have slight purple under eyes that can occasionally look tired. This gives me an immediate refreshed and awakened look. It's also moisturizing and delicate around the eye area. For me, I use it before makeup. It can be used without it as well." — Autumn Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in three shades). 15. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for all skin types to help purge excess oily sebum, makeup, and blackheads from your pores. Some reviewers even use it as part of a double-cleansing method, which means washing their face with this (an oil-based cleanser) first, and then following up with a water-based cleanser for a skincare regimen that's influencer-worthy. BTW, even reviewers with acne-prone skin love this product and say it doesn't cause breakouts after use! Promising reviews: "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 "I had been using a cleansing balm prior to purchasing this oil, but after using this product I cancelled my subscription for the balm. This heartleaf cleanser is AMAZING. I massage it into my face for a few mins and immediately noticed all the little whiteheads or things clogged in my pores being cleaned out (could visibly see them on my hands, I know kind of gross but also kind of satisfying). This will likely be a staple in my routine! I feel so fresh afterwards like a reset for my face, especially after using my second step water-based cleanser. (Skin type is oily, sensitive/rosacea.)" — Alexis Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 16. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle designed to single-handedly (literally) irrigate built-up ear wax from your canals in a similar fashion that a doctor would in an office! Fill the bottle with an ear cleaning solution, apply one of the included disposable tips, place it in your ear, and squeeze the trigger to deliver some much-needed relief. Do you hear that? ...Well, after a thorough cleaning, you can! Included in the kit is the washer bottle and three disposable tips. You can fill the bottle with your preferred ear cleaning solution, and the combination of the solution and targeted application will help loosen up ear wax, so it just falls right out! Doctor Easy is a small business by a doctor who wanted to create better methods for treating patients' impacted earwax issues. Promising reviews:"I was scared to try this at first but after a week of sudden severe hearing loss in my left ear I couldn't take it anymore and ordered this. Used as directed, and it wasn't painful at all and actually felt great! After a few flushes the earwax that had been obstructing my hearing came right out and I could immediately hear clearly again. Never using Q-tips again!" — Monica "I've been dealing with impacted earwax for the last several months where I would get occasional deafness when I woke up. I've tried different drops, squeeze bulbs, other spray things and curettes and I just couldn't quite get the wax out... We filled the bottle with one part vinegar and nine parts warm warm water like it suggested. After about 10 sprays, this chunk of earwax came out immediately as well as other stuff that was lining my ear canal! I was shocked at how fast that happened! It was probably the size of the eraser at the end of a pencil. He used it on my other ear and again, after only a few sprays another chunk came out!!! It was such a relief! I highly recommend this product because it's easy, fast and effective!!!!" — Grace N. Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 17. Or a bottle of earwax removal drops if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use microfoaming carbamide peroxide solution begins working in seconds to loosen up hardened earwax, so you can flush it away and enjoy massive relief. BTW to properly irrigate your ear after using these drops, you'll need either a classic bulb syringe or this fancier, quad-stream syringe designed specifically for wax removal. Promising review:"I have chronic ear wax issues, and I am impressed with Debrox Drops. I applied the drops (6-8 drops in one ear, laid down for 15 minutes to let it work, then repeated on the other ear) and immediately felt a sense of relief from the bubbling effect in my ear canals. I noticed some improvement after using the drops, although I didn't remove all of the wax, and I will repeat the application and follow through with removing the earwax, as described in the instructions... Debrox Drops do a competent job of loosening the wax for easier removal, and I am grateful." — Talia P. Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 18. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller — it's an infinitely washable volcanic stone roller ball that soaks up excess oil and delivers an instant matte finish in seconds, leaving your makeup intact. Miss Baltimore Crabs in Hairspray is a straight-up villain for saying "Oh! Shiny." to her daughter, but this product *does* work so well, you'll break out into "You Can't Stop The Beat!" (Get it?) Plus, you won't have to search around for trash cans to toss your blotting papers *or* take up precious handbag space carrying setting powder and a brush everywhere with you! Promising review:"So I was a bit skeptical when purchasing this. However I did read the reviews and decided to give it a chance. I have combination skin so some days I'm very oily and some days I'm dry... So I bought this and used it right away and Boom! I was impressed on how it immediately swept up the oil offy face! It was like a sponge just sucking up everything! I followed the instructions on how to wash it and leave it to dry (which takes a long time) however it did the trick again and literally sucked up the oil off my face. I am very pleased I bought this and would highly recommend for persons with oily skin." — Tara Evans Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 19. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that effortlessly aids in the removal of cracks and dead skin from your soles and heels. It also boasts glycerin for softening and hydrating the skin afterward. With this in your arsenal, you'll be ready to embrace sandal and flip-flop season arms wide open! To use this, simply presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended to use this product in tandem with a foot file afterward to make sure no gel residue or dead skin remains! Promising review:"Wow, I am utterly shocked. I have severely dry, cracked, callused feet which I am embarrassed about. I used this product one time and I immediately saw an immense difference. The callus melted away onto the grater. I will recommend this product and purchase again." — MattEO Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents and in packs of two). 20. A pair of teeth-whitening pens to help remove years (!!!) of staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day! Coffee, red wine, chocolate, and other things that stain your teeth no longer have to be your nemesis after adding this pen to your routine — you'll wish you started using this years ago! Each pen can be used up to 20 times. Promising reviews:"These absolutely work. You can tell the difference immediately. Purchase these if you want to have access to whiter teeth after your meals and dark drinks... great for on the go!" — "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). 21. A set of ingrown-hair pads for exfoliating your underarms, legs, or bikini area after shaving with a blend of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, witch hazel, and aloe.

And these pads are vegan, silicone-, alcohol-, sulfate-, paraben-, and fragrance-free, as well as compostable! Promising reviews: "I love these! I have recently been having some issues with razor burn and have been trying to find something that works and this is it. I shaved and used one immediately after and noticed the next day that there was no visible razor burn." — katelyn "I bought these on a limb because I was so tired of my arm pits itching after I shave. Bought these, used as directed, and immediately my arm pits felt better and NO LONGER ITCH after I shave. Just had a Brazilian done and applied these down there as well. Works great! Very pleased and ordering more today as I am almost out. Going on vacation next week and taking these with me." — mandi Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $20+ (also available in a set of 60 and three-pack). 22. A sensitive skin-friendly CeraVe body wash to gently exfoliate your skin with salicylic acid and follow it up with a hydrating blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. If you've been noticing "strawberry skin" or simply feel like your loofah is too harsh, but your current body wash is too mild — split the difference and elevate your skincare routine with this product that does double duty. Read more about how gentle exfoliation and moisturization can help with keratosis pilaris at Cleveland Clinic. Reviewers frequently pair it with CeraVe's SA moisturizing cream! Promising reviews: "First night, it immediately killed my back acne and the scars from previous breakouts are definitely fading. This is my third night of using it in the shower and I skin already feels baby soft. It has no scent and doesn't lather too much so it doesn't dry the skin out." — Laura J. "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can't beat this price for the results either." — Ashley Steigerwald Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 23. A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment, which uses hydrocolloid to practically disappear your pus-filled blemishes and pimples while simultaneously keeping you from picking and popping.

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these pimple patches! They are a game-changer when it comes to treating breakouts. The patches stick well to my skin and are virtually invisible, so I can wear them during the day without feeling self-conscious. They work quickly to reduce the size and redness of pimples, often overnight, and help prevent me from picking at my skin. The patches are gentle, don't irritate my skin, and are super easy to remove. I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin since I started using them, and they've become a staple in my skincare routine. If you're dealing with breakouts, I highly recommend these pimple patches—they're effective, discreet, and really help speed up the healing process!" — Ellie Stuart "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. 24.

I use this faithfully now, and I wore my regular toes out in public for the first time in years. 1000% recommend. I wish I could post the results but I do not feel comfortable posting how disgusting my toes looked before I bought this product haha." — Tina Allen "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+ (available with or without a nail file). 25.

Promising reviews: "I'm done buying cheap curling irons. This is lightweight yet handles my thick, below shoulder length hair. I got the large one and it makes styling my hair, go quickly. The built in cooling fans help set the curls immediately. Great quality and heats up quickly. Study cord swivels." — Kim R "When I tell you I am BLOWN AWAY!!! I went from pin-straight hair to this [pictured above] in — I'm not even kidding — 10 MINUTES! I have fine hair but SOOOO MUCH of it; every hairstylist says I have a crap ton of hair, and it usually takes me 45 minutes to curl my entire head! and this TOOK 10!!! Definitely worth every penny!! Also, it is AMAZING AT STRAIGHTENING! 😍😍" — Chesney Grace Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in four styles). 27. A powerhouse trio of serums: retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, which work together to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brighten, smooth, hydrate, *and* plump your skin for a glowing complexion. Make sure to follow the guidelines from the brand on how to use these three products together for best results! Promising reviews: "This is the BEST product I've ever used. I started a week ago and I could see a difference in my skin immediately. I've had dark circles and sunken in under eyes and this has already plumped them up and the dark circles are already almost gone. I do however use Roc Retinol Corexxion Eye Cream in addition to the tree of life serums... But aside from that, my skin has improved 100%. I wish I would've taken a before pic… 10 out of 10 for me and I'll be ordering a lifetime supply. ☺️🙌🏽" — Amazon Customer "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" — Caitlin Get the pack of three from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other sets). 28. 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. TBH, you could keep one of these in your desk drawer at work, so you can get a really fresh clean after enjoying your favorite kale salad. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, 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. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses these, and here's her take:"I personally bought a few months ago this and love it! 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. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular." Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 29. Annnnnd 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. It'll even help return your tongue to its natural color even if your favorite candies and beverages have an electric blue they taste so good! They even come with their own convenient little case. Read more about tongue scraping at Cleveland Clinic. Mouthology is a small business creating personal care products. Promising reviews:" I saw immediate results after one use. My tongue feels lighter lol. I have the weakest gag reflex on earth and I am amazed at how much can come off a tongue you thought was clean. This is my new go-to. 100000 stars!" — D Watlington "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 four different styles). 30. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula to help put a stop to excessive sweating for anyone constantly drenched, no matter the occasion. Each application works for up to seven sweat-free days, so when you finally decide it's time to tackle cleaning out your garage this summer, you won't be completely soaked thirty minutes into organizing! 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 reviews:"This stuff is the BEES KNEES. The CATS PAJAMAS. I've had sweaty armpits for my whole life. Doesn't matter if I'm hot or not. They just never shut off. I was used to having sweat marks on my shirts every day of my life. Totally accepted it... I decided to put [these wipes] to a test. The results were IMMEDIATE. I still remember my first day with dry pits — UNBELIEVABLE. I've now been dry for a couple of years and have spread the Sweat Block gospel for all who will listen. All that do receive the same experience as mine. THANK YOU SB!" — Jake "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 sports 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 20 and 30). 31. O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream because dry skin doesn't just go away because the weather changes, and if you work with your hands, probably never. This restorative cream helps transform and soothe dry, cracked skin with a protective moisture layer that delivers hydrating relief. Promising reviews:"My started to crack badly due to constantly washing my hands. So when I got this I didn't think it would work. As soon as I put a small amount, my skin immediately absorbed the cream!" — Jakie "My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions and paint on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the the product. I've tried it and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands and my fingertips are well on the way toward this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony and money." — Desert D Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.49 (available in two sizes and multipacks). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

A super cute set of six silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout and can lead to great results like improved bladder control and, yup, more pleasurable sex. The silicone material means these kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water. 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 [anyone] 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 mad dashes to the rest room 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.

It's truly a must if you've been looking for a solution to brittle toenails and other visible fungal damage that may be preventing you from confidently wearing open-toed shoes. 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+ (available with or without a nail file). 3. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for all skin types to help purge excess oily sebum, makeup, and blackheads from your pores. Some reviewers even use it as part of a double-cleansing method, which means washing their face with this (an oil-based cleanser) first, and then following up with a water-based cleanser for a skincare regimen that's influencer-worthy. BTW, even reviewers with acne-prone skin love this product and say it doesn't cause breakouts after use! Promising reviews: "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 "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!

Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it but nothing has worked.

And these pads are vegan, silicone-, alcohol-, sulfate-, paraben-, and fragrance-free, as well as compostable! Promising reviews: "Works fast with consistency! I applied morning and night making sure to dry 100% before putting on clothes! I'm so happy with my results so far! I've been using it only for four days and my bumps / ingrowns have shrunk and faded! No new ingrowns since I've started! (Also using it with the KP Bump Eraser.) If you've been looking for something that works fast, give this a try — I think you'll be satisfied!!!" — Abby H "So for the past few years anytime I shaved my legs, I would end up with really itchy red bumps all over. They would itch so bad, I would scratch and would start to scar. ...I use [these] right after shaving and then the day after and I have not had itchy irritated legs since! I have tried so many things over the years and this is the only product that has worked so far. I can finally shave and have smooth legs!" — Haley Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $20+ (also available in a set of 60 and three-pack). 6.

A bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo created with a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your hair. Plus, since it's a clarifying shampoo, it also gets rid of product buildup on your scalp when you use it! Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After 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!" — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three scents, and a two-pack). 9.

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 review: "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 Get it from Amazon for $9.97 10. A pair of teeth-whitening pens to help remove years (!!!) of staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day! Coffee, red wine, chocolate, and other things that stain your teeth no longer have to be your nemesis after adding this pen to your routine — you'll wish you started using this years ago! Each pen can be used up to 20 times. 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). 11. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine! 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 $28+ (available in two sizes). 12. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle designed to single-handedly (literally) irrigate built-up ear wax from your canals in a similar fashion that a doctor would in an office! Fill the bottle with an ear cleaning solution, apply one of the included disposable tips, place it in your ear, and squeeze the trigger to deliver some much-needed relief. Do you hear that? ...Well, after a thorough cleaning, you can! Included in the kit is the washer bottle and three disposable tips. You can fill the bottle with your preferred ear cleaning solution, and the combination of the solution and targeted application will help loosen up ear wax, so it just falls right out! Doctor Easy is a small business by a doctor who wanted to create better methods for treating patients' impacted earwax issues. 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. 13. Or a bottle of earwax removal drops if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use microfoaming carbamide peroxide solution begins working in seconds to loosen up hardened earwax, so you can flush it away and enjoy massive relief. BTW to properly irrigate your ear after using these drops, you'll need either a classic bulb syringe or this fancier, quad-stream syringe designed specifically for wax removal. 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. 14. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a top-rated, highly-concentrated serum made up of 96.3% snail secretion for a lightweight formula that helps hydrate and restore dry, dull skin, leaving you with a glowing complexion. Whoever thought about adopting a snail's skincare "secret" might actually be a genius. Promising review: " Skincare game changer. I started using this two years ago, and this product has transformed my skin completely! I have dull, dry skin and this helps hydrate and makes my complexion look healthy and hydrated. I use this under my moisturizer day and night." — Nhi Luu Get it from Amazon for $19.20. 15. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, which is under $10 *and* has a massive cult following. This gel is practically witchcraft for how well it minimizes swelling and puffiness. This skincare favorite will seriously have you covered after late nights at the office, meeting deadlines before the end of the quarter! 😩 Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 16. And Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution. Color-balancing in makeup is truly nothing short of practical if it can disappear dark circles and under-eye bags! Because of the color-balancing, each of the shade options is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the light rose would be best for fairer skin and the dark mocha hue would work for deeper skin tones. 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 three shades). 17. A popular Eos body lotion beloved by reviewers for its lightweight formula, boasting a blend of skin-loving oils and moisturizing shea butter that leaves your skin silky smooth. Plus, it comes in an assortment of smells so delectable, there's no wonder it's constantly on Amazon's "Trending Best Sellers" list! Trust me, you'll be obsessed *and* moisturized! The most popular scent is their vanilla cashmere, which boasts notes of whipped vanilla, musk, and caramel. Other scents include "coconut waters" (notes of creamy coconut hibiscus) and "fresh and dewy" (a light blend of musk and cassis). Promising review:"Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." — Jaquelin g. Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in four scents). 18. A hydrating lip-plumping gloss duo featuring a ginger-infused plumping gloss to deliver expensive-looking volume to your pout by day, and a secondary, minty overnight mask so your lips can be nourished and softened after a full day of giving '90s no-makeup makeup look perfection.

To use this, simply presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended to use this product in tandem with a foot file afterward to make sure no gel residue or dead skin remains! 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 1 million 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 scents and in packs of two). 20. Lumify Eye Drops to help reduce redness 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 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 21. Some dual-sided large shower wipes designed with soothing aloe, chamomile, and vitamin E if you want to wipe down and wash up in the airport restroom after stepping off a 14-hour flight before *finally* starting your much-needed vacay. One side is soft and smooth, while the other has "funk beads" to help with scrubbing and exfoliating to make sure dirt, sweat, and odors don't linger! These wipes are alcohol-, phthalate-, paraben-, and sulfate-free! They also come individually wrapped, so you can keep one in a backpack, gym bag, or purse! BTW — these are from the same creators of the popular SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes! Promising reviews: "I use these wipes every time after playing a round of golf and they are excellent at what they do. Takes the sweat, dirt, sunscreen, mosquitoes repellent and anything else off my body and makes [me] feel fresh again whenever I can't go home to shower. I don't have to worry if I look grimy in the office or anywhere I'm heading after." — Mr. Turyman "Second purchase and I love bringing these camping! It has an exfoliating side, so I feel clean after using it and pleased to see how much dirt it picks up after a weekend in the woods!" — Rachel Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $9.99. 22. A pack of medicated, waterproof wart-removing pads to help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin if freezing hasn't been giving you the results you want. Over 35,000 customers have rated these five stars for their jaw-dropping results (some after just one application)! 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). 23. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula which uses high-frequency vibrations to help unclog pores and exfoliate your skin. After each cleaning cycle, your face will be readily prepped to absorb skincare products and makeup better, leaving you with a more even complexion! ✨ Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean! See it in action on TikTok here. 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:"After using this product I have noticed a clarity of my skin that I did not have before. My makeup glides on. People have told me skin looks glowy." — Valerie Santos Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 24. A bottle of Bio-Oil that helps fade scars, stretch marks, dark spots, and acne marks. You'll be oh-so-grateful to have a bottle of this magical product on hand to help minimize post-surgery scars once you've finally recovered from tearing your ACL playing corporate kickball! Its moisturizing, multipurpose formula features rosemary, chamomile, and lavender oils, along with vitamins A and E, for a skin-soothing all-over oil. Promising reviews:"This is the first Amazon review I've ever written. I've been using this oil for less than a week and I've noticed SIGNIFICANT improvement in the quality of my skin. I've had deep stretch marks for over 10 years now as a result of puberty and have tried everything to improve their appearance. Nothing had worked until this! After only a few days of use, my old white stretch marks are looking less noticeable. I've also had dark spots on my thighs as a result of ingrowns and razor burn for years as well and those are fading with incredible speed. I will definitely be purchasing this again!" — Torie "My daughter got bit by a dog over the summer and we tried EVERYTHING to help with her scars. The day after we started using Bio-Oil the redness started to disappear. Now after only three weeks, some of the minor scars are gone and the more major scars are visually reducing day by day!" — Hvej Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $11.12+ (also available in 6.7 oz. and 4.2 oz.). 25. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash to gently exfoliate your skin and help eliminate KP bumps (also known as "strawberry skin"). Plus, its formula boasts a blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which are great for keeping your skin hydrated and looking its best! 26. Plus, an acne-clearing lotion created especially for your bum that features an anti-bacterial and moisturizing formula with tea tree oil to help reduce breakouts. Time to add more thongs to your underwear drawer and show off that rear! Read more about how tea tree oil can help with acne from Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"This product works, but takes time! I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! if you are willing to wait for the results then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time) the acne does come back! So I would use for awhile after skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 27. A powerhouse trio of serums: retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, which work together to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brighten, smooth, hydrate, *and* plump your skin for a glowing complexion. Make sure to follow the guidelines from the brand on how to use these three products together for best results! Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" — Caitlin Get the pack of three from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other sets). 28. An assorted set of precision tweezers that allow you to touch up and groom your brows by hand or quickly remove pesky chin hairs at home, on the go, or even as one reviewer did: in the carpool lane! The set includes four styles of tweezers, each of which is designed for grabbing different types of hair and expert-level shaping. Each set includes a pair of pointed tip, slant tip, flat tip, and angle tip tweezers, an eyebrow razor, curved eyebrow scissors, a dual-ended spoolie brush, and a carrying case. Promising review: "I bought this kit because the pair of tweezers I had couldn't get a single hair anymore. This set is SO amazing, I'm really glad I purchased it!! I tweezed my eyebrows, any hairs on my upper lip, and chin all in a quarter of the time it would've taken me with my old tweezers and each pair had a separate use which made everything so much easier. My eyebrows looked horrible before and now I'm finally so happy with them. My only complaint is that the razor and spoolie don't fit in the actual bag with the tweezers and scissors so it's a bit difficult to take them with me if needed." — unicornfountain Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (available in four colors). 29. A nail strengthening cream to help condition cuticles and promote nail growth with a nourishing combination of urea, shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and other moisturizing and reparative ingredients. With consistent use, you'll be showing off your IG-worthy manicures in no time! 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 time 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 it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two scents).

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 · In reviewers, we trust. 1. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now it's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: you're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff. Promising review:" This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." — rose b. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 2. Lumify Eye Drops, which are *so* beloved on TikTok they've been selling left and right on Amazon! Reviewers adore them because they reduce redness in their eyes nearly instantly — an absolute must-have if you haven't been getting much sleep thanks to your all-too-busy schedule. 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. Promising reviews:"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 "My eyes are always red. Visine didn't work. But Lumify is the real deal. I highly recommend it!" — Melody Hefner Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 3. Breathe Right nasal strips your partner will thank the heavens for, especially if you're as tired as Post Malone's tattoos say he is. These handy strips increase nasal airflow to help prevent snoring and relieve congestion. Promising reviews:"This product is a true gem. I'm eight months pregnant, and due to the baby pressing on my diaphragm, I've begun to snore terribly. My poor husband is a light sleeper, so I needed to figure something out. I started applying this at night, and he says he doesn't hear a peep out of me! If you have trouble sleeping or snoring, this is something you need." — Raevyn "I'll never buy another knockoff brand again. These are the real deal. My girlfriend loves them too." — Michael S. Di Tizio Get a box of 26 strips from Amazon for $10.79. 4. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers that'll save you when a big ol' pimple pops up the night before the date you've been excited about all week (and you SHOULD be — it's with that cute guy from the coffee shop you've been daydreaming about asking out for months!). BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis is a fan. "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and 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. For more deets, check out my full Mighty Patch review!" Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more! Promising review:"These babies are the real deal. The peel-and-stick concept is easy to use, AND they work—pimples vanish overnight! They're absolutely the perfect spot treatment and replaced my old method, which was less effective and more messy. These small but mighty babies are pretty discrete, too. I've worn them to work before. For me, these are definitely a beauty staple I can't be without!" — HBCarabo Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $11.97. 5. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel you'll absolutely want to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew. Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "This right here is the real deal! You can see immediate results! It firms and moisturizes my eye lids! A must-have!" — Nancy A. Borkowski Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 6. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment only asks for a mere five minutes of your time and transforms hair from drab to fab — yes, seriously, only 300 seconds will do the trick! Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire "This is the real deal, y'all. I left it in for two hours -- it smells amazing! -- and rinsed and styled to the softest, bounciest, most beautiful hair I've ever had! Five stars!!" — Caroline Get it from Amazon for $7.78. And check out our full Elizavecca CER-100 collagen protein treatment review. 7. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from The Fairly OddParents, and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites. You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. Promising review:"This product is the real deal. My teeth are super white after just a few uses. I'm so happy with this product and I recommend it to anyone who wants whiter teeth. 5-stars, absolutely." — Kari Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95. 8. A TikTok-famous Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask that'll work harder than Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey mining diamonds. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream. Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. Promising review: "These masks are the real deal! Such an improvement in hydration in the skin! I was skeptical of the hype on social media but definitely worth it!!! Recommend wearing for about an hour before sleep to bond it to your face, and then wear overnight." — Lauren D. Get a set of four from Amazon for $19. 9. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eye shadow primer to keep your carefully blended eyeshadow in place — you can *thank me later* when you get back from a night out with the girls (complete with the inevitable sweating and wear 'n' tear that goes with parading through a bunch of bars) when your makeup is still flawlessly in place. Promising review:"This eye primer is the real deal! Easy to apply — a tiny bit goes a long way! No creasing or oiliness all day long. My eyeshadow and liner lasts from 6 a.m.–10 p.m., even in heat and humidity. I have sensitive skin, which does not bother my eyelids. I have looked at other brands of eye primer but will stick with this one because it works so well!" — Delila Angulo Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 10. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo — it's benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!! The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. Promising review: "I use vivid semi-permanent hair color, and the only way to make it last is to wash it less. But I have naturally oily hair, and usually, after just one day of not washing it, my hair is a dirty-looking mess. I tried different dry shampoos, and they always did next to nothing for my hair. They either left it looking white/gray, or my natural hair oils came right through in a couple of hours. This stuff is the real deal! No messy aerosol spraying, no white cast. I literally tapped it in my roots generously and flipped my head upside down to finger-comb it through and fluff it. My hair is dry and looks great, no shininess or weird cast. The texture is a little stiff-like, but even after sleeping with it in my hair, it absorbed extra oils and fluffed right up after a quick brush through my hair. I'm a dry shampoo convert! Highly recommend for the oily hair people!!" — snowingstars Get it from Amazon for $18. 11. A bottle of Biotin shampoo that'll help you nourish your hair into locks worthy of a Disney Princess. (They truly do have the most gorgeous hair, don't they?) It's packed with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils that are said to help hair grow and prevent dandruff. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"This product is legit! It saved my hair! I was stressed and was experiencing hair loss... I changed jobs, but the damage was done. I came upon this product last March and, after reading reviews, decided to give it a shot. My hair was softer after the first wash! After I went through the first bottle and noticed increased volume, I reordered and got the conditioner as well. Game changer! I receive so many compliments on my hair. I had new baby hairs along my temples where the loss had been noticeable! This is the real deal. The shampoo is very thick, so I add water to my hands and get really sudsy, saturate the hair roots, leave on for a few minutes, give myself a little scalp massage, and rinse!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 12. Plus a BestLand Hair Finishing Stick to help you win the war you've been waging against those stubborn baby hairs that seem to stick out every which way. Arm yourself with this helpful tool and banish them once and for all! Promising review:"I used it for both my shorter new hairs that go crazy on top of my head and for my daughter's curly flyaways around her face. We live in the humid south, and this has worked MARVELOUSLY! It's the real deal, and definitely worth the purchase!" — Real User Get it from Amazon for $5.77+ (available in four styles). 13. A waxing kit complete with everything you'll need to freshen yourself up without dropping lots of dollars at a salon — we're talkin' a hard wax warmer, pre-wax and post-wax oil, and four bags of hard wax beads for various areas. Pain might be beauty, so it shouldn't *also* have to be expensive! Just a note, when you use hard wax you don't need to use waxing strips! Promising review: "I have been using THIS BRAND of wax beads for about two years, and this stuff is THE REAL DEAL!! I typically combine Beach Legs Hard Wax Beads with the Coarse Hair removal, which makes for me the PERFECT combination! I've tried other brands and ended up tossing them. KoluaWax has done a really good job! Medium heat to melt, even spreading even on lower heat. When used correctly with the Pre Wax Cleanser Prep spray, wax doesn't stick to my skin nearly as badly. I even use their warmer to ensure it heats up exactly as it should! Thinner strips on dehydrated skin will always be harder, but I've followed their instructions and LOVE my results! I literally order one of each bag every two weeks! I'm NOT a professional waxer! I appreciate being able to save money by doing this myself at home at my own convenience!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors). 14. Bruise cream — a must-have for my fellow clumsy souls who are forever covered in blue/green blobby bruises. How did they get there? It couldn't POSSIBLY be the bedframe you keep walking into when you get up to pee at 3 a.m.! This magical formula will help heal 'em quickly so you can move onto the next mystery. Promising review:"Took a major whack on the back of one hand and assumed I would be looking at the aftermath for months. Discovered the Miracle Plus Arnica Bruise Cream while scouting Amazon for any remedies. I applied the cream twice daily, and the bruise disappeared in one week. Couldn't believe it. Also applied on the back of the other hand that had some recent dermatologist damage, and it has restored health to that area as well. This product is the real deal and I couldn't be more pleased with the results." — enzo550m Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in cream or gel and multi-packs). 15. Self-Tanner that'll transform you into a bronzed beauty when you simply don't have the time to tan yourself for hours at the beach. This delightful mousse will get the job done in only an hour! Promising reviews: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer "Holy moly! This is the real deal! I was nervous because it was so cheap, but it's so natural looking and easy to apply." — SE Get it from Amazon for $9.09+ (available in 11 styles). 16. SweatBlock wipes that'll become your saving grace if you're running around so much, you're constantly dripping in sweat. These babies are prescription strength and designed to take on hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating. These wipes did NOT come to play! Amazon, This stuff is VERY strong, so if you have sensitive skin, consider doing a spot test before going all-in. Promising review: "Wow, this actually works exactly as described. I suffer from sweaty armpits and have had to turn to tech tees, as anything cotton, and I sweat through in five minutes. Not anymore! Wipe this stuff in your pits at night; by morning, you are good to go for the week! It does feel like your armpits just got pepper sprayed after applying, but that's a small price to pay to be able to wear normal clothes again. The burning goes away after a bit. I will continue to buy this product; it's the real deal." — tony mungo Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99. 17. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator to add to your shopping list even if you *don't* have a pet — it's a must-have for potty training parents with kiddos who are still having accidents left and right throughout the house. Angry Orange is a small business! Promising review:"This is the real deal! I have never seen any other product that comes close to covering the scent of urine. Most just add a fragrance to the underlying smell of urine but this one actually does so well that my guests think it is a fragrance from a spray or candle. It is very pleasing to smell and does wonders. Definitely a strong smell of citrus but it will cut anything bad smelling." — Maria Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in three sizes). 18. A Dawn Platinum Powerwash dish spray that will become your right-hand man in the kitchen from here on out — it comes in various delectable scents and works wonders on caked-on food and grease. All you have to do is spritz, let it sit, then rinse it off! Reviewers are obsessed with it — it has over 89,000 5-star reviews. (WOW!!!) I use this stuff constantly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes cleaning burnt bits and pieces much easier. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! I recently swapped from the "fresh" scent to the "apple" one, and wow, it smells delicious. It also works great for removing stains on clothes (I've seen it remove coffee from a white tee with my very own eyes). Promising reviews:"This makes it so easy to keep my sink clear of dishes. I use it constantly throughout the day. Every time I use a dish, I give it a quick spray, wash it, rinse it, and put it in a dish drainer. It is wonderful. I wish it was a little cheaper as I'm constantly using it; other than that, I love it." — Linda W. "Innovation in dish soap. This is the real deal." — Carl Get a pack of four Amazon for $16.88 (available in four scents). 19. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a miniature tool you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you're elbows deep in soapy dishes and discover the water is *not* draining. Please note how hard I'm trying not to make a Super Mario Bros. plumbing joke right now. Promising reviews:"Y'all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I've been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had and it didn't do diddly squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this one and it just arrived… it completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slow and within a minute, I had the water running so quick and smooth again. I got the small one and it's the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." — JNeen "We had been searching for a small sink plunger, and this little guy is the real deal! It's small and easy to store under your sink. The suction is pretty strong and does one heck of a job!" — perla Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 20. A Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner Kit that'll help you revive your fave pair of kicks instead of having to break in a new pair — there's no love like the kind you have for the perfect, comfortable shoes you've been living in for the last year. It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! You can use it on the laces, too. The kit comes with a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "This stuff is the real deal. I cleaned three pairs of shoes and one pair of work boots with ease; what a difference! A little bit goes a long way, great product for the price!" — Mr. Anderson Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes). 21. Plus a shoe stretch spray I bet Cinderella's step sisters wish they had to help get those glass slippers on their too-big tootsies! OK, maybe it doesn't work on glass, but it will help stretch out leather, suede, nubuck, and canvas shoes to your perfect size. My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Here's what she has to say about it: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead, I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much, but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! "The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later) and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. "After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes, and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Dr. Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!" Promising review:"This shoe stretch spray is the real deal. All my snug fits easily give way with a few spritzes of this wonder. Try it." — Lily Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 22. A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle featuring a *genius* design with a metal straw inside but a silicone straw on top for drinking comfort that seamlessly locks in place so you'll never find yourself drenched after tipping it a bit too far. It'll also keep your drinks cold for 24 hours, so even if it takes you ALL day to hit your water quota, it'll still be as refreshing as when you first poured it. I recently tried one of these bottles for the first time and I am SOLD. I adore my Stanley cup, but it's not the *best* option for the gym (unless you're planning to do some bicep curls with it). The locking lid really does work! I can twist it, toss it into a tote bag, and move on with my life, knowing it won't spill. I fill it with ice before bed, and when I head out to the gym in the morning, it's still cold! This bottle is also BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer' s go-to, "It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!" Promising review: "I am so obsessed with this thing. I get an arm workout from how heavy it is. I drink way more water when I use it, and the leakproof straw is the real deal. I left it in a hot car for 6 hours, and the water was still cold. I bought them for my whole family; they are the only water bottles we use now." — Pen Name Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 18 colors). 23. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. You might want to warn your pals to shield their eyes — this beauty is going to be DAZZLING in the sunlight at brunch. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this brand! She owns a bunch of their pieces and wears 'em daily (like this ring). Promising reviews: "I bought this bracelet to wear with my watch! It looks like the real deal! Sparkling, feel like I'm wearing diamonds! Easy to put on and take off!" — Lauren Carroll "I ordered this to match my Swarovski necklace, and it was beautiful. Hard to open clasp at first, but the size was perfect." — Cassity Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 24. A solid walnut cutting board that'll work overtime as a piece of decor in your kitchen and the best place to chop all of your veggies. Who knows? If it does a great job, you might want to make it Employee of the Month and promote it to charcuterie board! Virginia Boys Kitchen is a small business! Promising review:"This cutting board is the real deal. We used it to slice a 20 lbs turkey. It is a beautiful board and worth the money." — Lea Velez Get it from Amazon for $65+ (available in two styles and five sizes). 25. A car cup holder extender that's probably what inspired The Rembrandts to sing "I'll Be There For You" (sorry, Phoebe). It's super adjustable and grips flawlessly to the cup or bottle you pop into it — no spills or thrills the next time you stop short at a red light. Swigzy is a small business that specializes in drinkware and accessories. Promising review: "This is the real deal! Don't buy the cheap plastic look-alikes. This expands to lock the holder in so so no wobbling when you put your container in. Fits 36 oz thermos, very happy." — Pamela m slater Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two styles). 26. Waterproof wireless earbuds you'll happily take on as your new workout buddy (no sweat-related problems, here!) and adore for how their digital display will let you know *precisely* how much battery is left. Oh, and did I mention they're PINK?! Glinda is screaming somewhere over the rainbow. Promising reviews: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin "These are my first wireless earbuds and they are grand slam! They are amazing and a real-deal product." — Anton Ulasovich Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in eight colors). 27. A portable steamer that'll become your most trusted travel companion — it'll provide you with 15 endless minutes of wrinkle-removing steam, which should be more than enough to spruce up the chic shirt you packed for dinner (aka threw quickly into your suitcase at the last minute). Promising review:"The real deal! Couldn't believe how well this worked. Super small and portable but powerful. I wish I had taken a picture of the dress I steamed. I was blown away by how well this steamer worked!" — Lauren D. Get it from Amazon for $21.24 (available in two colors). 28. A TheraICE Migraine Relief Cap for anyone who constantly finds themselves with a pounding headache — the gel inside can be heated or chilled and will mold to your head to 1. help you relax and 2. soothe your pain. TheraICE is a small business! Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"Don't be fooled by other brands. This is the real deal all around. It's cold and comfortable for those nagging, uncomfortable migraines. Give it a try, you will love it." — Patricia Villarruel Get it from Amazon for $21.96+ (available in five styles). 29. Pillow-like slides you're definitely going to want afoot (literally) for all of your summer escapades — they're lighter than air, waterproof, and have a thick sole you'll find more supportive than your best friend after a bad breakup. Promising reviews: "Feels like you're walking on a cloud. I've had these for two years and they still feel the same as when I got them. The color is identical to the picture on your screen and they feel like heaven. The price can't be beat." — The Unordinary Mom "These are the real deal. Many similar-looking sandals are much less thick and comfortable when they arrive. These are as advertised. Very comfortable." — Patrick Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes 4–15 and men's sizes 3–16 and 16 colors). 31. And high-waisted leggings that'll earn a spot in your wardrobe and your heart the second you put 'em on — they have over 68K 5-star reviews (wowza!) praising them for how soft, stretchy, and comfy they are. What are you waiting for? ADD TO CART! Promising review: " I didn't think I would love these as much as everyone else. And when they arrived, they felt way too soft to be a quality product. I have now worn and washed them twice; they are the real deal. SUPER comfortable and I would love to order more. Great for working out or just wearing to run errands and around the house. They are lovely, and the sizing seems right (I am 5'7" and normally wear a 4/27 in jeans, and I ordered a small). Gimme all the colors!" — LMCurrie Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in one size and one plus size, two lengths, with or without pockets, and 23 styles).

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 · Including a callus-removing gel and a snail mucin serum. 1. 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. 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." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93. 2. 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. 3. 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). 4. 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). 5. 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. 6. 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). 7. 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 $19.99. 8. A tattoo aftercare salve — it uses the power of shea butter, beeswax, and sweet almond oil to revive both monochrome and colorful ink. It adds immediate shine and vibrancy to your tattoos, and you'll see long-lasting results when used over time. Here's what fellow BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower had to say: "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... 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 started by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after noticing a gap in the market for all-natural tattoo care products. The duo pitched their tattoo aftercare balm in season 12 of Shark Tank. Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in two scents). 9. 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 sweep away food and residue. Is TeethTok a thing? Well, you're about to make it one. Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. 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 (also available as a four-pack). 10. And a stainless-steel tongue cleaner so you can scrape away all the nastiness in your mouth that's been giving you a case of morning breath. The two-handled design makes this super easy too maneuver, and reviewers say it works way better than plastic scrapers. Just place it toward the back of your tongue, scrape forward three to four times, and rinse! Promising review:"I just got home and saw that my package has arrived, I've been waiting for it all week! I brushed, flossed, and then scraped. I am so AMAZED with the results! I couldn't believe everything that was rolling off my tongue, I've been using a toothbrush lately and I hated it. It made me gag and sometimes bleed, it just didn't get the job done. With this scraper I was able to go further back then I usually do with a tooth brush and it's painless! I love this product, I recommend it to anyone!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $8.47 (also available in a pack of two and 12). 11. 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 was skeptical to try 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 felt and adjusted. 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 (available in two sizes and various packs). 12. 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 20s 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 affective. 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. 13. 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). 14. A toenail brace that'll easily straighten and fix any ingrown nails — because those bad boys hurt. The kit comes with ten toenail braces and the materials needed to apply them. Promising review:"I never realized how curved and not-OK my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product did I realize that I had a major problem that could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" — Jamie H. Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99. 15. And a bottle of CND Essentials nail and cuticle oil to have your hands (and toes!) looking as shiny and flawless as they do when you leave the salon, except without the outrageous salon prices. The blend of jojoba and sweet almond oil provides hydration and softness, while the vitamin E and rice bran oil can add a healthy-looking shine. Each day, work the oil into your nails and cuticles and they will begin to grow and strengthen, so you don't have to worry about weak nails anymore! Check it out in action on TikTok here! Promising review:"I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month, religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" — Diana Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 16. Or! A nail concealer, which is basically a multitasking marvel. It strengthens nails thanks to its blend of biotin and keratin, and it also provides a sheer hint of pink color that works great on its own or as a fast-dry top coat. It's basically a manicure in a bottle — which is an absolute STEAL at under $5. Just be sure to tip yourself when you're done. Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out, and I saw this brand had a [lookalike} for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." — reviewer22 "Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." — Andi Get it from Amazon for $6.40. 17. 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). 18. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that 34,000+ reviewers swear by. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands, while rosemary and coconut oil are known to nourish and moisturize the scalp. 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 three sizes). 19. 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 $14.79 (also available in a bundle with the matching conditioner). 20. 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). 21. 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: "I started taking medication that dried my skin, including severely drying my lips to the point that my lips were peeling and cracked. I bought this lip repair balm based on the reviews, and after the first night, I started noticing my lips healing! I apply the lip repair to my lips every night, and it keeps my lips moist throughout the night. I just ordered my second order! Highly recommend!" — Delia K. Get it from Amazon for $8.46 (also available in a two-pack). 22. 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. 23.

No, really — retinoids are known to help promote skin cell turnover, revealing a brighter complexion and helping to clear out the gunk that causes clogged pores and acne. Promising reviews:"After a month and a half of using this product, I don't have a single active breakout on my face. This is the first time in over a year! My only regret is that I wish I would have found this sooner to save my skin from scarring." — Ashley L. "This stuff actually works. I work in a spa, and I've tried dozens of different products that cost five times the price to try to clear up my acne-prone skin and NOTHING has worked as well as Differin gel. One of my esthetician coworkers recommended it to me, and dang if she wasn't right. It will dry out your skin pretty badly, so make sure you have and use a good moisturizer, but my skin cleared up in less than two weeks, and I'm still amazed." — Rin Wisell Get it from Amazon for $13.10+ (available in four sizes and two bottle styles). 24. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller, which was one of the first beauty products to go viral on TikTok — and for good reason! It mops up excess oil in just a few swipes (without disturbing your makeup)! It's way less wasteful and easier to carry around than a pack of oil blotting sheets — just pop out the stone roller to give a quick wash before reusing! Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $8.42. 25. Compound W One Step Pads designed to remove plantar warts with ease, and also have reviewer photos that will inspire and traumatize you in equal measure. The medicated pads are packed with salicylic acid to help break down the wart, and you can replace them every 48 hours for best results for up to 12 weeks. Promising review:"I had a stubborn wart that I had tried to get rid of for years. I was about to give up and go to a doctor when I discovered these. I put them on before bed and on the last two days kept them on all day. Today I was filing the wart down (which I did every day with this treatment) and I noticed a crack at the bottom. **Warning! Kinda gross** I was able to pull out the entire wart! I was left with a circular wound on my finger and I was left holding the wart! I'm so shocked and amazed since it's only been four days! I 100% would recommend this to everyone." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $5.40 (available in two styles and larger packs). 26. 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 two formulas and a pack of two). 27. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help you finally say goodbye to razor bumps and ingrown hairs. The formula includes topical aspirin, which can help reduce inflammation caused by ingrown hairs and irritation from hair removal. Shaving is annoying enough as it is — nobody needs a painful reminder afterward. To use, simply put a few drops on a cotton ball and apply to the affected area. It can be used to minimize already-existed razor bumps, and can also be used after hair removal to prevent bumps and ingrown hairs. Promising review:"This works so amazingly well, I wish I knew about this product sooner and this is going to be something I will always have around. I only use it around my bikini area, but it takes care of any razor bumps I've had and works quickly. It does sting a little if you have a little cut, but for me the stinging doesn't last long and isn't unbearable by any means. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a solution to razor bumps." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes). 28. A sleek and ultra-portable facial shaver that'll remove the pesky peach fuzz that's stopping your foundation from seamlessly gliding on. It's also great for tackling that one stubborn chin hair that even the best tweezers can't seem to tackle. It's become a must-have gadget for more than 98,000 reviewers. Promising review:"I had very annoying, thick chin and upper-lip hair. I used Nair Facial Cream which didn't really work well, I plucked, and I used a small 'personal' electric razor which left stubble. None of them gave satisfactory results. I purchased this to give it a I was amazed at how great it worked. No more stubble, no more annoying plucking, my skin is smooth and was not irritated. If you are bothered with facial hair, buy this, you won't be disappointed." — Red Ryder Get it from Amazon for $16.18+ (available in six colors). 29. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and tumeric — 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). 30. SkinSmart's Facial Cleanser Spray designed to help reduce the bacteria that causes acne and breakouts in just a few spritzes.

I will definitely buy it again." — Angelina F. " Does the EXACT same as Tower28 for a fraction of the price! I love it; my face feels refreshed. Highly recommend, no shade to Tower28, they are great, but this is cheaper and if you're on a budget, use this alternative! Great for after work, the gym, or existing in these hot summer months. If you have sensitive skin, it's gentle." — Paul R. Get it from Amazon for $17.46. 31. A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence with 96% snail secretion filtrate, which can help with dryness and damaged skin.

After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it's hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I've been using it morning and night." — Yasmin Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 33.

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).
