50 Products That Provide Legit Results (And Have The Photos To Prove It)
1. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating LilyAna's eye cream that'll halt all annoying comments about how tired you look. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake). Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. 2. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all. This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stains on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreatment before shampooing, and most often, the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say 'gone'…I mean, GONE! And that's with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I'd buy it again is such an understatement. I can't be without it!!" — Angela Raab Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 3. A compact 4-in-1 suede and leather brush that'll get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home! This 4-in-1 brush features rubber bristles to gently and effectively remove dirt, a thin welt brush for narrow crevices, a rounded welt brush, and a nylon/metal bristled brush for maximum strength on those extra tough stains. Promising reviews:"This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even the ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." — TRW " This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it in the same direction until the stains wore off." — Lissette Castillo Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four styles). 4. An antifungal tea tree balm to help treat things like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, or even just dry skin. Essentially, if you've got an itchy skin condition, this is something you *need* in your bathroom cabinet. This wonder balm truly is wonder ful! Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy, like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well, but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie Get it from Amazon for $36.32. 5. And Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that's stacked with effective ingredients like aloe, mint, and (of course) tea tree to help with those common skin irritations and rashes you haven't been able to escape since using the wrong laundry detergent one time. Reviewers say that it smells great too, thanks to the coconut, olive, and jojoba oils! Learn more about the many uses of tea tree oil at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using. Love the fresh smell. Also helped an eczema breakout." — KJeanine ATL "This is my favorite body wash ever! I was dealing with some serious postpartum BO, and this saved me! Results from first use!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 6. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because it's easier, cheaper, and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes *cough* Crest Whitestrips *cough*. With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done. Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school, but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker], so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant about getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are, but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of two or four). 7. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff (and their latest Squeezy cleaning sponge!) for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls. Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in two sizes) 8. Plus The Miracle Multi-Purpose Cleaner from the same brand! This cleaning gem *literally* has parents (of pets and humans) in awe of how powerful and versatile this spray's cleaning is. It will tackle the grease and oil stains on the kitchen counter, dirty paw prints on the windows, and grime on your shower wall. Talk about multi-purpose. Promising reviews:"The best cleaning product I own now. Removed soap scum, gunk, and hard water stains. A much less offensive smell than Clorox cleaners and honestly does a MUCH better job. I will be buying more products from this brand asap." — J. Rabalais "This product is my go-to for cleaning my kitchen, bathroom, kids' toys; you name it! My hubby and I have five kids at home, and you can imagine how icky our kitchen table gets between meals. This spray cleaner works great, is a much safer alternative to use around our toddler, and smells great! I've used quite a few of this brand's other products and they're all keepers so far. Definitely a fan!" — Julie Auler Get it from Amazon for $4.86+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 9. Stila's One-Step color-correcting facial serum that ingeniously blends vitamins, minerals, and color theory to help even your skin tone. All three work together to help reduce redness (that's the green), reduce dark purple under-eye circles (that's peach!), and give your skin an energized glow (that's lavender!). The reviewer above used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn! Promising review:"I think this is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it to anyone who fights facial redness. I sometimes wear it alone, but under cream foundation and light powder it works even better. I was totally amazed at how much it evened out my skin tone! And honestly I didn't think it could be done." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in three shades). 10. A pack of light-dimming LED covers for those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye. LightDims is a small biz based in Las Vegas. Promising review:"I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured, what the heck. They came quickly, and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." — Kindle Customer Get them from Amazon for $1.49. 11. Cult-favorite Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, a scrumptiously hydrating body cream that also provides temporary skin tightening thanks to its caffeine-infused formula. Plus, reviewers say that the salted caramel and vanilla scent smells DIVINE. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). 12. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe off your makeup using *only* water! (Yes, you read that right.) The gentle fabric also has a microfiber blend specifically designed to clear gunk from your pores. If that's not brag-worthy magic, I don't know what is. It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here. Promising reviews:"Soft and easy to use. Been using this product for years, and hasn't failed me. Bought another for a friend to save them money from buying makeup wipes. Great on sensitive skin!" — Liz "This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part, and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes, and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry, and it's perfect. I've been using it for over six months now, and it hasn't failed me at all; it's worth the money!!" — Sharmin Rahman Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 17 colors). 13. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away. Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just spray, walk away for a few minutes, and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D. Get it from Amazon for $11.14. 14. A fabric defuzzer to remove all those unwanted fuzzies, lint, and pilling from furniture and clothing. To use this easy tool, simply glide it over the area you want to fix! This gadget is battery-operated and requires two AA batteries, which you can grab here! Promising review:"This fabric shaver is fantastic. I got tired of my fleece hoodie developing fuzz balls under the sleeves, near the pockets, and around other 'rub' spots. I bought another highly rated one on Amazon, but it failed to work after just three hoodies...I got this one, and the results have been consistently impressive. to cut fuzzies even after about a month of use. Waaaaay better than the first one. It's easy to use, easy to empty, and it's easy on my wallet. I would highly recommend it." — Dennis Honse 15. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo that'll clean the sponges that touch your face every day! I shudder at the thought of these going unclean for months, but this shampoo will cleanse your brushes and blending sponges so easily, the long timespans of dirty makeup tools will be long gone. It can extend the life of your applicators *and* save you from irritated skin. Promising review:" Best, most affordable brush and sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything, even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." — Lily Get it from Amazon for $6.96 (available in two sizes). 16. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder because it's a non-aerosol, travel-friendly dry shampoo that'll give you the illusion of clean, ungreasy hair in a matter of seconds. Keep this in your bag for when you're in need of a luscious locks pick-me-up. Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" — Melanie Havert Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in six shades, including transparent!). 17. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dander, hair, and terrifying buildup out of those bristles. Do you see that difference!? *Immediately adds to cart* The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean. Promising review:"When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why; it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 18. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help treat *and* prevent painful razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. The annoying worry about irritating sensitive areas is about to go POOF! Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can't prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I have never had a product work better. Shaving 'down there' has given me many in-grown hairs over [the] years. As soon as you feel a bump starting, put this on once, and you will never have to worry again!" — Amazon Customer "Until I started using Tend Skin, I had been a 60-year victim of razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hair. After using the product for a week bumps, burns, and ingrown hairs disappeared from my face. A fabulous product, I just ordered my third bottle." — Jon Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while! These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:" I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle, and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." — Christine Doan Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99. 20. A fungal nail renewal treatment to help with brittle, thick, or discolored toenails that you've been side-eyeing for way too long. Reviewers have seen the appearance of their nails improve in as little as two days — so get on it *now*! Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone, and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 21. Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil that hydrates skin and gently relieves the pain of our mistakes. Because as much as we try to remember, sometimes we forget to put on or reapply our sunscreen! Should we have to suffer with tender, sunburnt skin? Absolutely not. Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching! Promising review: "I've been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica, I had it, and trust me when I tell you, it's saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun, you can use this, and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized. It will not hurt, and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." — Kenneth Get it from Amazon for $10. 22. Mielle rosemary-mint hair-strengthening oil, a constant sell-out after going viral on TikTok! It's a biotin-infused hair-strengthening oil that helps smooth split ends, moisturize dry scalps, and deeply nourish 3A–4C hair. In other need to try it ASAP! Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I will be buying this product forever and ever. I rarely get obsessed with a beauty/hair product, but this one really takes the cake. After having a pretty stressful 2022, I started to experience a lot of shedding. I naturally have a lot of thick hair, so I'm used to some natural shedding, but this was another level. I also experience buildup on my scalp, especially in the winter months. Within one bottle of using this, I noticed a HUGE difference. Not just from the way my hair felt but also because the buildup and dry spots on my scalp were no longer present. This also doesn't make my hair feel greasy or heavy, which some products can do!" — BMDS416 Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 23. OR a sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll moisturize your scalp and help promote hair growth! Maybe it's magic, or maybe it's ingredients like biotin, keratin, and zinc that are known to work wonders for hair. As Chandler Bing would say: do you SEE that before and after!? Reviewers with all types of hair (from fine 1a to long 3c and 4c hair) say this shampoo works wonders. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I don't love the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents). 24. A toilet bowl ring remover, a lightly abrasive pumice stone that effectively cleans the porcelain throne — no harsh chemicals needed and no damage done. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done. Promising review:"I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. I tried it this morning, and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring, and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 25. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.) Promising review:"I bought this after reading one of those BuzzFeed lists of like '27 products reviewers swear by' or whatever. The reviews and before/after pics had me curious but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years, and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains, but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle, you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294 Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and in several pack options). 26. A jade roller and gua sha set because it's a simple, easy-to-use beauty tool to add to your routine. The muscle-relaxing, fine line-reducing rose quartz is something that you can use while watching TV, reading, or after your nighttime routine. This particular set from Baimei comes with both a jade roller and a gua sha. When used correctly, both are great for depuffing your face and having a soothing at-home facial massage. Many reviewers suggest throwing it in the fridge 10 minutes before you plan to use it for an extra refreshing and relaxing effect! Promising reviews:"The roller is nice quality, it feels sturdy, and it doesn't squeak when you use it. I enjoy the smaller roller end for my eye area. It does help moisturizers and serums spread on better and soak in faster. The gua sha tool is also great. I can tell it's good quality and won't snap in half. I have been using it on the knots in my neck actually, giving myself a massage and putting pressure on the knots." — Laura "Helps with oilier serums and feels amazing if you have sinus pressure!" — JSides Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three stones). And to learn the history, helpful tips, and see video demonstrations on how to use the gua sha stone, check out BuzzFeed's Gua Sha History and Overview for details. 27. A liquid tartar remover which is basically just mouthwash for dogs. It's especially great for dogs who won't let a toothbrush near them. Simply add a bit to their water bowl and replenish when needed! Promising review:"I have four dogs. My biggest dog has the worst bad breath. I've tried treats and other things, but nothing else has worked. Looking at alternatives, I came across dog mouthwash. The idea of drinking mouthwash is weird, but be my guest to teach your dog to swish and spit out. I've also bought Nylabone toys for my dogs and know they make great products. I've been using this mouthwash for all four of the dogs, and I have to say there has been quite an improvement in their breath and tarter buildup on their teeth. I put two capfuls in about 32 ounces of water, and the dogs gulp it down; they seem to enjoy the taste as well. So about two months in, I have a little less than a 1/2 bottle to go, and the dogs' breath is much better, especially my big dog." — DH Get it from Amazon for $10.59 (available in three sizes, three textures, and for dogs or dogs/cats). 28. A pair of stainless steel tongue scrapers that'll literally scrape the bad breath at least help get rid of it. This will leave your tongue looking and feeling fresh so no wincing comes your way. They even come with their own convenient little case. Btw, this comes from small biz Mouthology! Promising review:"I recently purchased this tongue scraper, and I must say, it has made a significant difference in my oral hygiene routine. The scraper is easy to use and efficient in removing any buildup on my tongue. I have noticed that my breath stays fresher for longer, and my tongue feels cleaner throughout the day. The scraper is also easy to clean and store, making it a convenient addition to my daily routine. Overall, I highly recommend using a tongue scraper, and this one in particular is a great choice." — Kelsey Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles, two colors, and multipacks). 30. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help eliminate rough, dead skin in *minutes*. Many reviewers say it only took as long as two to three to see results! After applying this gel, simply scrub with a foot file, and your heels will feel brand new. Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available with a foot file and gloves). 31. OR Demora's foot exfoliation mask to peel away dead skin, calluses, and buildup for baby-smooth skin. Sign. Me. Up. Simply slide these foot mask "socks" onto your feet and leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak in and work its magic. You should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with incredibly softer feet in two weeks!). Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let's be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " — Alma Elias Get two pairs from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five scents). 32. A Color-Wow anti-humidity spray because it creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture and prevents frizziness. It lasts — wait for it — up to 72 hours (!!) or through two to three shampoos. Honestly, you'll wish you bought it years ago, because there's nothing more obnoxious than when you spend hours doing your 'do only for it to be ruined as soon as you step outside! Promising reviews:"I fell in love after the first use, not just for curly/thick hair! I have very fine, thin hair that has lots of new growth/flyaways and split ends. Unlike others, I used this spray on dry hair, just spritzed a bit, and used the flat iron... 95% of flyaways were gone, and my hair had a nice shine. This stuff is truly magic for my type of hair!" — Rebecca Beyard "I decided to give it a try [and] was not disappointed! I straighten my type C curls often, but the frizz from living in the southern United States is real, and if the weather is not perfect, it doesn't last in the humidity. This product solved all of that. After washing with soothing shampoo and conditioner, applying leave-in, and then spraying [this] on hair, my shark dryer had no issue with drying my hair into a smooth, silky shine. I don't know that it has ever been straighter than when using this spray, and... [the results] lasted. A long time. Like for at least six days. I have never been able to go that long between washes, and only because the frizz was too much to deal with. This product is a miracle to use on my curly hair! Will definitely buy again." — Amie Howard Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes as well in extra strength and curly hair versions). 33. A pack of Bissel Stomp 'N Go stain-removing pads reviewers say really do live up to their name. These pads remove gross pet-related stains, and according to reviews, they work on coffee stains, blood, dirt (new and old), and even red wine. All you have to do is place 'em over the stain and stomp — done! Promising review:"Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" — MKELady Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $25.99. 34. A cooktop-cleaning kit to get your electric stovetop looking like new again... because FYI, it doesn't have to look like it's barely survived a food fight and a stain vs. rust war that's been going on for years. It comes with everything you need, including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool. Promising review:"Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi-cleaners, which never seemed to do much. Then, a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said, it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." — B. Swartwood Get it from Amazon for $11.48+. 35. A hydrocolloid nose patch if pimple-picking is an obnoxious habit you'd like to stop asap (it's hard, I get it😩). This is the bigger, nose-shaped version of the best-selling Mighty Patch and it'll cover your entire nose to banish *multiple* pesky zits, dirt, and oil in one fell swoop. Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" — IHateCleaning Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. You can also shop the original Mighty Patch pimple patches from Amazon for $11.97. 36. A piercing bump solution because those annoying keloids have got to go! This can slowly help reduce the size, hardness, and redness of the keloid around your piercing. After all, your new jewelry should be the star of the show, not the bump! This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient, as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan C. Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks). 37. Bread Beauty Supply Elastic Bounce Cream to get the spring back in your curls and the super soft feel that comes with it. This cream helps restore even the driest, frizziest hair back to its healthiest state. You won't be able to stop looking in the mirror! Sephora, Sephora Bread Beauty Supply is a Black woman-owned small business that creates amazing haircare specifically for those with curl types 3a–4c. Promising review:"This curl cream is really it. I have tried different ones before, but I feel like this one leaves my hair bouncy and moisturized. I really like the smell, too — it's so sweet, it makes me want to eat it, hehe. I like that a little goes a long way, and the packaging is a really great size, so it would last a long time." — Sephora Customer Get it from Sephora for $16+ (available in two sizes). 38. A set of bed bands that'll keep your fitted sheets secure so you aren't constantly tucking them back in over and over (and over) again. Place them under your mattress and use the suspender-like clasps to keep your sheets in place until it's time to wash 'em. Promising review:"I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 39. A shampoo scalp massager because what's the point of washing your hair if you aren't truly getting to the roots?! The soft, thick bristles cleanse and exfoliate your scalp and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp. Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Promising review:"This little brush is amazing. I have struggled with flakes for a while and have tried various products and techniques to eliminate it- even SCRUBBING my head with a scratchy bristle brush pre-shower-all to no avail. THIS SHAMPOO BRUSH DID THE TRICK IN ONE WASH. I would brush, shampoo, condition, blow dry, and would see the flakes over my entire head immediately. After using this brush ONCE, I saw maybe two flakes TOTAL. I changed nothing else. Same shampoo and conditioner, same product, and brushes to dry and style. I used this massage brush both for the shampoo and for the conditioner. I worked it from front to back instead of in a circular motion to avoid tangling my long hair. As an added bonus, it feels amazing. Very relaxing and luxurious. Much nicer than fingertips or nails. Overall, I really can't think of a scenario when this WOULDN'T be a good purchas e." — Full of Sunshine Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 40. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting K-Beauty face masks, a.k.a. the Skin1004 zombie masks known for minimizing pores and hydrating your skin at fancy spa-level — but in way less time and at a much cheaper price. They feature top-tier ingredients like albumin (which is found in egg whites), soothing aloe vera extract, and hydrating Centella Asiatica extract. Reviewers are clearly obsessed, as they have over 5,400 5-star reviews. Learn more about the skincare benefits of Centella Asiatica Extract from the Clevland Clinic. Promising review:"I thought I would give this face mask a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose? Immediate results! I couldn't believe it! My pores were small; my face was in a good I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" — Judi Bragg Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $17.65. 41. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray that kills the toxic mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about terrifyingly good results. Promising review:"I bought this RMR-86 spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get a 32-ounce bottle on Amazon for $15.99 (available in five sizes/packs). 42. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces. To get incredible results like the reviewer's door below, all you have to do is wet and swipe. Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason! Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker, and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house, and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenally on the whites of shoes that look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" — TShepp Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 43. TruSkin Naturals vitamin C serum, an easy and cruelty-free way to give your skin everything it needs to be brighter and softer. This TikTok-viral serum also has a blend of hyaluronic acid, so not only can it help dramatically fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, but it'll help treat and prevent acne in the first place. Promising review:"This product saved my skin. I seldom write reviews, but I just had to review this product. I've been struggling with acne for YEARS. I have very acne-prone skin. I get a new pimple almost every day, and it seemed like there was never a time I didn't have a pimple on my face. Acne leaves super dark blemishes/scars on my face. I've tried all different types of moisturizers and cleansers. Nothing worked. However, I bought this serum on a whim. OMGGGG. Guys. Literally, my face stopped flaring within three days. I was PIMPLE-FREE FOR MORE THAN 48 hours (a new record). Exactly two months later, the blemishes have faded DRASTICALLY, and I have no active breakouts. This hasn't happened in years. I truly and honestly think it is due to this product. If you are hesitant, don't be, BUY IT! It has also helped my under-eye bags (use one drop for both under-eyes; pat gently with fingers.)" — Brandon Get a 2-ounce bottle from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes). 44. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner to remove the ~yucky~ stuff that's been sitting in your tub a little too long. If you've got one of these luxe home additions, this jetted tub cleaner will extract all that doesn't belong and get it back to its old, like-new self in no time. I mean, just look at those gross (yet satisfying?) results! It only takes 15 minutes to clean — just run the water, pour it in, and turn the jets on! Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. Promising review:"This stuff is great! We just bought a house, and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now, our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" — Becky Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 45. An ear washer bottle, a quick and easy at-home solution to cleaning those very important things used to hear sounds. This spray cleaner helps remove ear wax build-up, blockages, and impaction so that you no longer have to wake up with clogged ears — you're missing the chirping birds! The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Using it is simple: Fill the bottle with your preferred ear-cleaning solution, attach the disposable tip, and then spray the cleaner into your ear. This will loosen up wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear! Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients' earwax impactions. Promising review:"Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 46. A set of skin-tone shaded reusable waterproof silicone Nippies reviewers say can handle even the hottest, sweatiest of days. This way, you can wear your fave backless dress or halter top without annoying bra straps in the way. Warm weather outfits are about to get next-level. Nippies is a Los Angeles-based small biz founded in 2002. Promising review: "I don't know how I've lived so long without these, and I never want to be without them again. A summer necessity. They do what they say they'll do and magically stay on. I honestly don't know how it works, and I don't care. They're the best. I'm a G cup, and while they don't offer much in terms of support (didn't expect them to), the slightly rubbery outer finish gives them some traction against the inside of whatever you're wearing, so if you're wearing something fitted, your boobs stay in place longer. Huge fan." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $26.50 (available in three sizes, two styles, and five shades). 47. ORRR a breathable, sweat-proof boob tape kit complete with a roll of the tape, four satin boob petals (to protect the nips), AND a pair of silicone pasties perfect for those very particular tops and dresses there's never a right bra for. Bonus points for the test patch that's included, so you can be sure that the tape doesn't irritate your skin! This stuff has a strong hold, so don't rip this stuff off! Use oil to completely saturate it so it soaks through the adhesive and begins to loosen. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy; they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." — MelBee Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 48. A vegan O.P.I. nail-strengthening polish if your nails are constantly chipping, peeling, splitting, and could literally break with a snap of your fingers. This formula (which comes in clear or tinted shades!) is a low-maintenance way to strengthen weak nails. It can be used solo but works great as a base coat, too! Promising review:"I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." — Stephen Bell Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in clear and eight colors). 49. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads — medicated, waterproof bandages that will help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin. Thousands of reviewers say they've received amazing results, and many after just one use! Promising review:"This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! I bought the invisible strips, and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" — Audrey N. Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29. 50. A set of drill brushes for those who are finally ready to clean out all of the grout in tiles, stoves, countertops, grills, and even gutters. Attach it to your drill and be prepared to have your eyes pop out like a Looney Tune once you see the results! OK, so the drill is NOT included. This is just a set of three brushes that attach to your drill, or check out this one you might wanna buy. Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass, that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." — Mary in Nebraska Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors).

"Being a 50-year-old with thinning lips and smoker's lines, this is the BEST moisturizer with a lovely tint I've found!" 1. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream so you look vibrant and well-rested. Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and have dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). 2. A splurge-worthy and dermatologist-recommended Elta MD SPF 41 tinted sunscreen for folks with sensitive skin. Sun protection is important at any age (UV damage can speed up your skin's aging process), and this one will tick all your boxes: not greasy, free of fragrance, non-comedogenic, free of oil, and free of parabens. Promising review: "Finally a sunscreen that doesn't make my face itch all day! Sure wish they would bring the price down. Love how it blends in and is soft and moisturizing. I'm 59 and this goes on smooth and doesn't ball up under my makeup." — Melony Phillips Ralph Get it from Amazon for $43+ (available in two shades). 3. A teeth-whitening pen that'll be a heck of a lot quicker (and taste a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades. Promising review:"I've had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used professional solution in a tray but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I'm proud to smile!" — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.79. 4. A versatile, creamy, and beautifully blendable multi-stick because it leaves behind natural-looking color on your cheeks, lips, and lids without sinking into your skin's creases. Promising review: "The quality and ease of use. It goes on like silk and stays on all day. It is hydrating and so natural looking, especially on my mature skin." — Deborah M. Get it from Amazon and Ilia for $34 (available in 12 shades). 5. An eyebrow henna kit if your brow hairs have lightened over the years and you're ready to reintroduce brows you can actually see to the world. This semi-permanent tint lasts up to six weeks. Oh! And it means you won't suffer through a lifetime of poorly tattooed brows. A win-win! Promising review:"I am 50 years old and I do have eyebrows but I've noticed they have become translucent and sparse over time. Here's what's so wonderful about this product: It darkens the little fine blonder hairs and the ones that are smaller and translucent — they all get more color and it makes my eyebrows look fuller now and also it leaves a light brown shade underneath on the skin — which does a wonderful job at making everything blend. And it looks more natural. It was not hard to use the product but I found it a little bit easier to mix with my eyebrow brush rather than the spoon, and I used a very little bit in the little container they give you. I put it on my eyebrows just like I would normal eyebrow makeup and let it dry, and then did it again and washed it off with soap and water. I then followed up with one more application and a few other little spots and now it looks really great. The key to using it for me was 'easy does it' and taking my time in the beginning. Very very happy and will definitely order it again :-)! And it is most certainly much cheaper than getting it done at the salon." — Sherry Get it from Amazon for $12.10+ (available in 29 shades). 6. Or a lower-stakes NYX tinted brow gel so you can groom, tint, and set your brows in one fell swoop. And it won't flake or make your brows look crunchy! Promising review:"Wow, I am surprised! I finally have eyebrows again. This looks so natural. My eyebrows have begun to thin. I'm in my 50s, and I look washed out with no brows. This is so easy to use and doesn't rub off. Glad I tried this before going to one of the pricier brands." — LB Get it from Amazon for $8.25+ (available in five shades). 7. Or a clear eyebrow gel to hold each hair in place while also blending seamlessly with gray hair. Promising review:"I am 65, and my eyebrows are becoming sparse. Besides the challenge of finding an acceptable brow color in silver/gray, I have discovered that my eyebrows have become rather wild. I was hoping this product would keep them in place. It did. It's colorless, so there was no problem there. The product works. That's all I hope for. Good choice." — MJM Get it from Amazon for $6.97. 8. A moisturizing hair treatment for a quick burst of hydration. In just eight seconds — eight! — it starts working to leave your mane feeling silkier, softer, and smoother after washing. Promising review:"I am 66 years old. I have fine thinning hair. Followed instructions. Blew dry my hair. How awesome was it? My hair now feels regular in thickness, holds a curl, and actually has body. I wish for a lifetime supply. Will use this from now on." — Mortimer Brewster Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 9. A Revlon hot air brush that'll help you go from wet, tangled, frizzy hair to a shiny, salon-worthy blowout in minutes. The brush has special vents allowing airflow so hair dries faster. Plus, it's quicker than using a dryer and then a flat iron or curling iron, which equals less heat damage. Promising review:"The minute I got done styling, I was so happy with the results. I recommend your hair be almost dry or dry for the best styling results. You can dry your hair when it's completely wet, but I have super fine, colored, 59-year-old hair, and when mine is almost dry or air-dried, I get the fullest, most beautiful shine that I barely have to apply hair spray after. Occasionally, I use a little mousse prior to drying, but it's not needed. I highly recommend giving this brush dryer a hair is so grows fast, and it feels so great and soft and full!" — Kelly Howards Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in three styles). If you've tried barrel-shaped hot air brushes before without success and have tighter curls or coils, you may want to try the paddle brush version, which reviewers with 3A–4C hair swear by. 10. A cuticle oil because too many gel manis have destroyed your nails. Sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba soften the cuticle and strengthen your claws so you'll be proud to show them off. Promising review:"I was skeptical that this would do anything for my fragile nails. Four months later I'm stunned that my nails are not chipping and peeling like they used to, and even the ridges are diminishing. When I look at the quarter-inch or so of growth from the nail bed that has occurred since I started using this product, I see nice smooth healthy nails. I can't wait to see what they look like several months from now when the entire nail has had a chance to grow out. I apply the oil all around the nail including under the tips of the nails before I go to bed most nights and massage it in while I watch the evening news. It is good to know nice nails are not a thing of the past even though I'm over 50 years old." — All His 247 Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 11. Glossier Ultralip, a nourishing lipstick if you want a hydrating wash of color that doesn't make your lips feel dry as a desert. It's made with hyaluronic acid, a moisture magnet, and applies like a creamy balm. Glossier Promising review:"This product does everything Glossier says. Goes on easily, moisturizing but not oily, sticky, or greasy. No lip liner needed (unheard of at my age, 59). Beautiful buildable color. I am a G10 and bought Ember, and it is perfect." — Susanne Get it from Glossier and Sephora for $20 (available in 11 shades). 12. A multi-use skincare oil so you can say bye-bye to uneven skin, stretch marks, and acne scars. It helps your body retain moisture (see ya later, dry skin!) and absorbs into the skin fast so you won't feel greasy. Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen! Promising review:"Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day — in the morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends, who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to notice the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.12. 13. A powerful snail repair cream to brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, and add plumpness. Snail mucin extract is a popular ingredient in K-beauty products and is rich in hyaluronic acid (hydrates) and glycolic acid (stimulates collagen production). Promising review: "I'm 55 years old, and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy, and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is great. I had questions when I first received the product and got a follow-up response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" — sbakey Get it from Amazon for $20. 14. A NYX buttery gloss for rich, creamy, high-shine color that doesn't feel sticky. Promising review: "I like the buttery feel, and that this Butter Gloss lasts longer than other regular lip gloss and is more moisturizing than other glosses. I still use a nourishing rosehip lip oil beneath it for added moisture. I am 50 and my lips are thinner, more wrinkled, and dryer than my younger lips. Overall, this providesa more moisturizing and longer lasting gloss than other lip 'glosses. ' "UPDATE: I've now bought a second tube of this butter gloss. I often have dry, chapped lips, and this product works great for that as well as looking beautiful and makes my lips look more plump as well! Being a 50-year-old with thinning lips and smoker's lines, this is the BEST moisturizer with a lovely tint I've found! My lips look 20 years younger!" — elemental em Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in 34 shades). 15. A collagen-coating hair treatment that'll revitalize a mane that's dry, damaged, and overprocessed. Waking up with frizz-free hair? Umm, yes please! Promising review:"This product has a light but really lovely scent. I absolutely love it! My almost waist-length hair was seriously damaged by my last hairstylist. I've tried everything to make my hair shinier and more manageable, with less frizz. I've been through countless deep conditioning treatments with little results...'til I found CER 100! I'm in my early 50s so I have far from 'virgin' hair. If mine looks this great, that says a lot! My only wish? That it came in a bigger tube/bottle!" — C. Fordham Get it from Amazon for $7.71. Read our review of Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for." 16. A splurge-worthy bottle of Olaplex No. 3 because it's not messing around. It'll revive your dry, damaged, colored hair like no other. As someone who spends four-plus hours bleaching my hair every six to eight weeks, I can 100% vouch for this miracle in a bottle. Promising review: "For the price of this small bottle, I had very high expectations, and it truly delivered! This is not a hair conditioner. As it says on the bottle, it is a 'hair bonder.' I am 55 years old, and I dye my gray Asian hair every 3–4 weeks. This makes my hair very frizzy and dry-looking no matter how much I condition. After using this twice — I washed my hair first, towel dried it, applied Olaplex, left it on for 10–15 minutes each time, did a quick rinse, towel dried it, and then blow-dried it — the result is just amazing! No more frizz and fly-away hair. That was two days ago and still looks good." — SusannaF Get it from Amazon for $30. 17. A Schick Silk dermaplaning razor if you've found more stray hairs on your face as you've aged. This handy mini blade is great for trimming eyebrows, as well as removing unwanted facial hair, especially if you find handling tweezers tricky. Promising review:"Just used this amazing little razor on my face for the first time, and I am obsessed! I am 58 years old and battle the peach fuzz, especially on my lips and chin. This was super easy and effective! The exfoliation alone is fantastic! Grab some of these for your beauty arsenal!" — Cisami Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. 18. A lightweight primer so you can apply your makeup to a smooth, even surface and have it stay all day. It's made with green tea extract and collagen to protect and moisturize the skin. Promising review:"I won! This primer not only has a pleasant, light, and delicate smell, but it actually works very well too. I have a really oily T-zone and really dry aging skin everywhere else. Somehow, this primer seemed to do whatever my skin needed to keep the makeup in place. I live in a very humid, sub-tropical climate, so finding a primer that holds up in nearly 100% humidity is amazing! I had two events to attend two nights in a row, and they both lasted too My makeup looked as good at the end of the night as it looked when I first put it on and set it that morning. It also made my skin feel so soft. I've been wearing it most of the time without adding any makeup, and it really improves the look of my 64-year-old skin. Try it. I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I have been." — DammitJan Get it from Amazon for $17. 19. An eye primer to ensure your flawless smokey eye isn't ruined by your chronically oily eyelids on a night out. Promising review:"I feel so stupid...I'm 65 years old and have always been annoyed by the fact that by mid-afternoon, my upper lids would be oily, shiny, and sporting a stripe from my eyeliner. I didn't think there was a cure. Then stumbled upon the idea of using a primer/foundation designed for the eyelids. What? How BRILLIANT!! Who would have thought? I dipped my toe into the water and purchased one tube of the Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Primer. I don't use eye shadow on my lids, but I do use it as a liner on my lower lashes. (I add water to compressed eye shadow and put it on my skin with a sponge-end pencil thing). This stuff ROCKS!! At the end of a hot Texas day, my lids are still as fresh and dry as they were at 6 a.m. And it only takes a pinhead-sized drop to cover one entire lid from lashes to eyebrow, with enough left to cover the lower lid area as well. It's creamy but dries very quickly. Awesome! The only thing that keeps this product from being 100% perfect is that it has a chemical smell when you first put it a few minutes, the smell is gone, and my eye makeup looks impeccable for 12+ hours. Obviously, I highly recommend this product. They've found a lifetime customer with me." — ShortieTX Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 20. An acne patch for those days when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil are gentle on the skin while still drawing out fluids and pus from your pimple. Promising review:"These are the best. I'm 65 years old and still experience frequent breakouts. Pop on one of these and your zit heals in half the time. The package has several different sizes so you can use really small ones for average pimples or on small places like the tip of your nose. It also comes with big ones for those zits that look like a light in the middle of your forehead. They're practically invisible so you can wear them during the day." — Terry L. Burgess Get 40 round patches from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in XL square patches). 21. A cruelty-free vitamin C serum that'll give your skin a much-needed pick-me-up. Just listen to the 97,000+ people who gave it a 5-star review: This stuff brightens, softens, and dramatically fades hyperpigmentation. Promising review:"This serum is just as amazing as everyone says it is. I am 67 years old, and I have light melasma on both of my cheekbones. I have done *everything* to get rid of it (microdermabrasion, other serums, Clarisonic exfoliation, and on and on ad nauseam). I wear SPF 50–70 on my face 365 days a year, and I've done that for decades. I also drink a lot of water. It looked as good as it was going to get. Now, my skin looks even better, and the melasma has never been lighter. Overall, my skin tone just looks very even and smooth. Every morning, when I look in the mirror at my face, I marvel at how smooth it looks for my age. This is such a terrific product. I just finished my first bottle, and I'm on to my second one!" — Rabid Reader Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes). 22. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara because you're tired of mascaras that don't live up to their promises. This one won't let you down — I promise! It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day. Consider your expectations exceeded! Promising review:"I am 68 years old and have been using makeup for 52 of those years. I have tried many mascaras over the years, from inexpensive to very expensive. I cannot say that I have ever been really happy with the results. I had reached the point where I thought that, it does not matter the cost, they are pretty much all the same. This changed my mind. I put on two coats and it made my lashes look so thick. If I did not know better, I would think that I had on false eyelashes. I used baby shampoo, as I always do, and I always lather with the baby shampoo twice to remove the mascara, and it came off easily. I will look no more for a new mascara. I cannot imagine a mascara better than this." — Piaget Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 23. A dandruff shampoo if you'd really like to banish white flakes from your scalp ASAP. It's made with ketoconazole 1%, an antifungal ingredient that'll tell your dandruff it's no longer welcome here. Read more about ketoconazole shampoo at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"This is without a doubt the best dandruff shampoo ever. I am 50 years old and have had a very bad dry scalp and dry skin on my face and ears all my life. I have tried everything on this side of the moon without any success until now. This stuff truly works and is amazing. I literally put it on my face, and even on my ears, where I've always had problems with dry skin, and after even the first use, I saw amazing results — no more itching, no more flaking. I can actually wear a black shirt now with confidence; no flakes to worry about. I truly highly recommend this product. Where was it when I was a teenager and had to endure many embarrassing moments? Thank you so so much for this shampoo. It's worth every last penny!" — stacy Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 24. A winged eyeliner stamp so you can achieve matching cat eyes in seconds. Just stamp the wings and use the liner pen on the other end to connect it to your inner corner. That's eyeliner done for the day! Promising review: "I am a 50-year-old woman who is ridiculous about trying out new makeup trends. I have been wearing my eyeliner winged since my teen years, and although I have gotten pretty good at applying my wings, I always seem to have one thicker than the other or at an odd angle, most likely due to my eyes not being perfectly even. So when I saw a review of this product, I thought, what the heck, I will try it. Well, ladies (and guys who wear liner), this winged liner set is one of the best purchases I have ever made in the cosmetic world. It is so simple, and I can't believe how quickly I was able to give myself absolutely flawless wings! If eyes could every penny." — Molly A. Frank Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes). 25. Embryolisse, a cult-favorite French moisturizing cream to hydrate, protect, soothe, and nourish your skin. (It's been with you after all these years, so give it the pampering it deserves.) Makeup artists also use it as a primer, so consider this a 2-for-1 value purchase. Promising review: "So far, I am loving this lotion. I put it on every morning under my makeup, and it leaves my face perfectly moisturized all day long. I also noticed I use less foundation because it's so moisturizing. I don't believe there is any miracle moisturizer that will ever get rid of our crow's-feet, laugh lines, neck sagging, etc., but this moisturizer helps reduce the look of these problems as long as they're not deep surface. I'm 68 years old and never was someone who was a 'sun worshipper' and, fortunately, stopped smoking in 1980 after smoking for 15 years. Those two things do a lot of damage to your skin, so to all young women reading this who are doing these two things, take it from me: If you want to retain healthy, youthful skin, stop these too-harmful habits. Use sunscreen when you are in the sun, and use moisturizer now. Embryolisse seems to be a good place to start!" — Janet Cahill Get it from Amazon for $17. 26. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks that'll truly terrify you, first because you'll look like a zombie once you've applied it, and second because it's so darn effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Promising review:"At 60 years old I have tried SO MANY short of surgery to lift and tighten my face. Around the age of 57, my pores became larger and larger. I tried product after product and spent hundreds trying to find that fountain of youth. There is nothing like going into a store with salespeople younger than my grandchildren telling me what I'm doing 'wrong' with my skincare regimen. They had never seen a wrinkle in their lives. I thought I would give this face mask a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose? Immediate results! I couldn't believe it! My pores were small; my face was in a good I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" — Judi Bragg Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $24.99. 27. A beloved tightening cream because the 34,000+ reviewers who rated it 5 stars is all the proof you need. It's infused with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to firm, smooth, and add shimmer to the skin. Plus the vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio scent is better than any perfume out there. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in a larger size). 28. A pair of exfoliating mitts if you're ready to shout, "Oh, gross!" the next time you shower. They're made of a viscose fiber that buffs away beads of dead skin (you'll literally be able to see them) to reveal buttery, baby-soft skin underneath — and probably make you feel like a lizard shedding its skin. Promising review: "This is by far the cheapest and most effective product I've ever used!! I'm 54 and don't take the best care of my skin 😖 Even if I used a brand new razor, I couldn't get a close shave, and even after lotion, my skin was still rough! First use, not so much. Two days later, second use, and ugh, tons of dead skin came off!! Shaving was a dream!! Forget body dry brushes and gooey scrubs. This is the magic!" — Melissa Vizzaccaro Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (also available individually). 29. A set of flexible curling rods so you don't have to spend three hours in the morning curling your hair. Use them on wet or dry hair and then sleep on 'em. The result: perfect heatless curls. Promising review:"I love these rollers. My hair is very thin and the hot rollers and dryer that I have been using further destroyed my hair. These rollers are easy to use. I put a little water on each section, roll, and usually wait two hours. My curls are great, and stay all day. I am 70 years old." — The Sutherlands Get 42 rods from Amazon for $9.95. 30. A Maybelline concealer to mask dark circles and reduce under-eye puffiness (because what is sleep?). This may be what feels like the millionth Monday you've woken up wishing it was still the weekend, but at least you'll look fresh, well-rested, and ready to take on the day. Promising review:"Best under eye concealer ever. I am 67 years old and have tried them alI. I wouldn't go out without applying this concealer. It blends nicely with my foundation and has never caked. The sponge applicator is soft and makes application quick and easy. I will continue to use this product and hope, like many products I've used over the years, that it doesn't get discontinued." — Morty Get it from Amazon for $7.89+ (available in 18 shades). Check out my colleague's Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer review and learn why it's her favorite. 31. A scalp massager for not only treating yourself to a relaxing scalp massage but also for getting that blood flowing to your head (which may help stimulate hair growth) while simultaneously breaking down buildup like hairspray and dry shampoo that's making your hair oily and difficult to style. Promising review:"I notice a difference in using this for about a month, twice a week. I am 58 and have had thinning hair for a very long time, this brush seems to be thickening the spots where I have hair, I see why so many people are very happy with it." — J. G. Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 32. A pack of bamboo oil-blotting sheets that'll soak up the shine from your forehead so your face doesn't look like an oil slick come 3 p.m. Promising review:"At 68 years old, I am making my first purchase of 'oil blotting' papers. I must say I was skeptical. But, I was quite pleasantly surprised that the 'papers' do remove the oil that causes the shine. Admittedly, I handle things awkwardly (probably using more 'papers' than necessary). However, the product does work. And work well." — John R. Spencer Get a pack of 100 sheets from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in three styles and multipacks). 33. A crème-to-powder waterproof eyeshadow stick because a stay-all-day eyeshadow that won't fade or crease isn't too much to ask for. One end is the eyeshadow stick, and the other is a built-in smudger, so you don't need any brushes to achieve your eye look. Plus, the formula is made with nourishing vitamin E and vitamin C. Promising review: "I'm 52, with crepey eyelids, and they itch and water if a smidge of eye product gets in them. Powder shadow is a complete no-go! Just bought two of these, and I am so happy! After years of not wearing shadows, I am back in the game! It goes on creamy exactly where you put it. The smudger works beautifully and it stayed put all day with no creasing, no watery or itchiness. Didn't use any primer, just on clean, moisturized skin. Thank you! I will definitely be getting more colors!" — Tania Nicholson Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in so many shades). 34. A weightless vegan squalane oil if you haven't yet added this magical oil to your skincare routine. It's similar to the skin's own oil, and works to help prevent moisture loss so your skin stays supple. You can also expect it to help soften textured skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and fade discoloration. Promising review:"It absorbs well and helps with my super dry skin. I have dry skin. I'm in my early 50s." — Amazon Customer SF Bay Area Get it from Amazon for $34. 35. A super soft MakeUp Eraser so you don't feel like you're removing stuck-on foundation with sandpaper. This is designed to work with just water! Taylor Miller / BuzzFeed Promising review:"I'm impressed. The Makeup Eraser removes my makeup easily and completely. I wear waterproof mascara, water-resistant foundation, and fairly heavy eyeshadow and brow powder. I was tired of using up cotton pads and remover liquid to get my makeup off at the end of the day — it was time-consuming, expensive, and not always effective. This cloth and some warm water solves the problem. I'm 60 years old and I try not to subject my skin to undue pulling and stretching. The Makeup Eraser requires only a gentle circular motion, and maybe a little extra wiping right at the eyelash edge. My face comes out makeup free and gently exfoliated, ready for moisturizer. What a great product!" — A. Hawley Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in seven colors). Read my colleague's MakeUp Eraser review as well as our deep dive into the best makeup remover (the MakeUp Eraser won as our mid-price pick).

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Over-50 club members, these are for you. 1. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream that'll halt all annoying comments about how tired you look. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake). Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. Get it from Amazon for $10.49. 2. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a gentle, lightweight, hydrating face serum designed for *all* skin types — even those with sensitive skin!

Reviewers say it's the most magical beauty product around! Promising review: "I wish I could give this product a 10. I am 63 years old and have been using this for a month. Within days of using this, I noticed that my skin tone was more even, and my age spots were lighter. Every few days after that I noticed other major improvements. There is no way I can scientifically measure the percentage of improvement in each area, but this is my best guess based on what I am seeing in the mirror… - forehead wrinkles and wrinkles on the side of my eyes 100% reduction. They are GONE. - under eye bags 40% tighter - under eye wrinkles 70% improvement - parentheses lines around my mouth have a softened appearance - lip wrinkles and sagging eyelids, not seeing much change - jawline 70% lifted - neck 50% tighter - chest 40% softer appearance - age spots 30% lighter - skin tone MUCH more even and balanced - pores appear smaller - my skin feels much firmer and lifted I recommended this to a friend who is my age and noticed drastic improvement around her eyes in just two weeks. I also recommended it to my 26-year-old niece with acne scars. Within four days, her scars began to lighten and were less noticeable." — Don Garrett Get it from Amazon for $20. 3. Or K-Beauty's SeoulCeuticals Snail Repair Cream if you already have a serum in your routine that you love, but still want to reap the benefits of snail mucin. This non-comedogenic moisturizer contains 97.5% snail mucin filtrate as well as vitamin E, organic aloe, AND shea butter. It's practically a recipe for better skin. SeoulCeuticals is a small business! Promising review: "I'm 55 years old, and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy, and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is great. I had questions when I first received the product and got a follow-up response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" — sbakey Get it from Amazon for $20. 4. Laneige's overnight lip mask, a number one bestseller for very good, well-earned reasons! After a night with this on, you'll wake up to moisturized, hydrated lips that are softer than ever. Promising reviews:"I've bought several of these. It's popular with the teen crowd, so I am an outlier. At 51, I use this at night around my lips. Really softens the pinched look that can come with age. I like the scent, too! A little teeny, but I'll take it." — EJF Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six scents). 5. A cult-favorite tightening cream from Sol de Janeiro, a scrumptiously hydrating body cream that also provides temporary skin tightening thanks to its caffeine-infused formula. Plus, reviewers say that the salted caramel and vanilla scent smells DIVINE. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24. 6. A Revlon hot air brush because the results this baby provides are the definition of magical. It'll turn your wet and tangled hair into a salon-level blowout. Trust me, it'll make ALL the difference when you're blow-drying your hair, have just showered and have to rush to work, or are just having a bad hair day. It works for all hair types, too! The brush has special vents that allow air to flow so hair dries faster. Plus, it's quicker than using a dryer and then a flat iron or curling iron, which equals less heat damage. Reviewers with everything from thin and short to wavy and fine to thick and curly hair love this One-Step Brush and say it works great for their hair types! Promising reviews:" I am 70 years old and have struggled with curly/frizzy hair all my life…until I bought this dryer. It straightens, smooths, gives volume to my hair, and makes styling a breeze! Highly recommend." — Loretta "The minute I got done styling, I was so happy with the results. I recommend your hair be almost dry or dry for the best styling results. You can dry your hair when it's completely wet, but I have super fine, colored, 59-year-old hair, and when mine is almost dry or air-dried, I get the fullest, most beautiful shine that I barely have to apply hair spray after. Occasionally, I use a little mousse prior to drying, but it's not needed. I highly recommend giving this brush dryer a hair is so grows fast, and it feels so great and soft and full!" — Kelly Howards "I'm a 53-year-old NON-girlie-girl who hates styling my hair. I have very fine hair cut into a 'lob' that almost touches my clavicle [and] I could NEVER achieve that voluminous salon blowout look that sold me on this hairstyle in the first place!! That is until this impulse buy entered the scene. I bought it on a whim, and I'm SO glad I did!! I can blow dry and style my hair with ONE TOOL and I look like I just stepped out of the salon!! It only takes me about 15 minutes from start to finish! I can NOT say enough good things about this!!!" — cowboy Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in multiple colors and styles). 7. A cruelty-free Essence lengthening mascara to get dramatically long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. This bestseller has over 158,000 five-star reviews! Promising review:"I am 68 years old and have been using makeup for 52 of those years. I have tried many mascaras over those years, from inexpensive to very expensive. I cannot say that I have ever been really happy with the results. I had reached the point where I thought that it does not matter the cost; they are pretty much all the same. This changed my mind. I put on two coats and it made my lashes look so thick. If I did not know better, I would think that I had on false eyelashes. I used baby shampoo, as I always do, and I always lather with the baby shampoo twice to remove the mascara, and it came off easily. I will look no more for a new mascara. I cannot imagine a mascara better than this." — Piaget Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 8. A crème-to-powder waterproof eyeshadow stick that won't crease! It comes in bold mattes AND shimmering neutrals, making applying eye makeup the easiest part of your routine. Just glide, blend, and go! It even has a built-in smudger and a formula made with nourishing vitamin E and vitamin C. Promising review: "I'm 52, with crepey eyelids, and they itch and water if a smidge of eye product gets in them. Powder shadow is a complete no-go! I just bought two of these, and I am so happy! After years of not wearing shadow, I am back in the game! It goes on creamy exactly where you put it. The smudger works beautifully and it stayed put all day with no creasing, no watery or itchiness. Didn't use any primer, just on clean, moisturized skin. Thank you! I will definitely be getting more colors!" — Tania Nicholson Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in 46 shades). 9. A vegan nail-strengthening polish if your nails are constantly chipping, peeling, splitting, and could literally break with a snap of your fingers. This formula (which comes in clear or tinted shades!) is a low-maintenance way to strengthen weak nails. It can be used solo but works great as a base coat, too! Promising review:"I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." — Stephen Bell Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in clear and eight colors). 10. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks for minimizing pores and hydrating your skin at fancy spa-level, but in way less time and at a much cheaper price. Reviewers are clearly obsessed, as they have over 5,400 5-star reviews. Promising review:"At 60 years old I have tried SO MANY short of surgery to lift and tighten my face. Around the age of 57, my pores became larger and larger. I tried product after product and spent hundreds trying to find that fountain of youth. There is nothing like going into a store with salespeople younger than my grandchildren telling me what I'm doing 'wrong' with my skincare regime. They had never seen a wrinkle in their lives. I thought I would give this face mask a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose? Immediate results! I couldn't believe it! My pores were small; my face was in a good I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" — Judi Bragg Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $20.30. 11. A Laura Geller color-correcting powder foundation for quick and easy coverage. It's perfect for daily use as it's a lightweight, light-coverage formula you'll forget you're even wearing. Promising review: "I've been wanting to try this for a long time, and I'm sooo glad I finally purchased the medium shade. It covers everything perfectly without even looking like I'm wearing any foundation at all. I'm 64, and my skin is combination oily/normal. This is the best product I have ever used, including Lancome, Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, and Clinique. Doesn't go into wrinkles and stays flawless all day." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in nine shades). 12. A Omnilux red light face mask for spa-level treatment right at home, any time you want!

Visible LED devices only treat pimples, and results vary depending on the person: read more about how to use them at the American Academy of Dermatology. Promising review: "The Omnilux Contour Face Mask is making a difference on my bright red cheeks and upper neck. I'm 75 and thought there was no hope to have normal-looking skin. I've been using the mask for 35 days, and there is an improvement. The redness has softened, and no more burning. It's truly a miracle. I am loving my skin again." — Janice R. Get it from Omnilux for $395. 13. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to treat *and* prevent painful razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. The annoying worry about irritating sensitive areas is about to go POOF! Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can't prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I have never had a product work better. Shaving 'down there' has given me many in-grown hairs over my 52 years. As soon as you feel a bump starting, put this on once, and you will never have to worry again!" — Amazon Customer "Until I started using Tend Skin, I had been a 60-year victim of razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hair. After using the product for a week bumps, burns and ingrown hairs disappeared from my face. A fabulous product, I just ordered my third bottle." — Jon "Age 60 still with oily skin. Now getting obnoxious little chin hairs that AREN'T BLONDE like the rest of them... They look like little blackheads until they poke out enough for me to tweeze them. They also get red and look like pimples in the process. This stuff is great! The salicylic acid in it is mild, no stinging. It slightly exfoliates but more importantly, takes away 100% of the redness. Although I still use my Buf Puff daily for facial exfoliation, this stuff also makes a great toner/astringent. Very pleased." — Middle aged nerd Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). 14. Maybelline Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush for pretty, natural-looking color. It's a super "low maintenance" beauty product, according to reviewers, and can be used on your cheeks, lips, and even as an eyeshadow. Each shade is a soft, buildable color with a dewy finish. The blush is also oil-free (yay!) and lightweight, so you'll have no problem wearing it all day long. Promising reviews:"This sheer gel blush takes me back to the '60s love child era. I bought Nude Burn. It's not greasy, not cakey, blends easily, color is very natural. Start with a light application and build the color up to your desired feeling and sheer, this is the perfect cheek color for me. BTW, I'm 72 this year, and I still love looking fresh and pretty!" — Chrissy "Took a chance, and I love it! I really wasn't sure what color to get but have been very happy with this one. First time using cream blush, but it's easy. You can layer it to make it as dark as you want. I was worried about how it would do on 50+ skin and have been pleasantly surprised. It gives me a nice glow." — ACK Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in six shades). 15. OR a pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors since unwanted peach fuzz can make for uneven makeup application, and who the heck wants to deal with that? This set comes with a handy pack of three, making it easy to remove unwanted facial hair and dead skin cells and shape those brows if you want to as well. Step away from the painful tweezers! Promising review: "Just used this amazing little razor on my face for the first time, and I am [obsessed]! I am 58 years old and battle the peach fuzz especially on my lip and was super easy and effective! The exfoliation alone is fantastic! Grab some of these for your beauty arsenal!" — Cisami Get a three-count from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine). 16. Tree of Life retinol serum — an easy, hyaluronic acid-infused solution to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. This serum has earned nearly 19,000 5-star reviews (!!) filled with people sharing their ✨ magical✨ results. The reviewer pics above were taken just over one month apart without makeup on. Promising review: "Ah. Maze. Ing! I bought this on a whim during a flash sale... After only three weeks of using this product, the lip lines are gone, the frown lines reduced by at least 50%, and my neck skin looks like a neck again! My skin is dewy, soft and healthy again. I can't wait to see what the next three weeks bring! And at this price I'm going to start using it on my hands and chest. My skin looks and feels great! This 56-year-old beach girl with decades in the sun and saltwater couldn't be happier. More youthful skin and $500 back in my pocket? What's not to like? Try it! Of course, skin type is a major factor in success. But my skin is VERY sensitive and not only has it shown improvement, I have not experienced any reddening or burning. Hope it works just as well for you!" — S. M. Spizzirri Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 17. And a pack of face wipes with retinol that removes makeup, cleanses your face, and is a small and easy way to make the collagen-producing ingredient a part of *every* step in your nighttime routine. Amazon Promising reviews: "Very gentle, cleansing, and toning for 55-year-old skin! I love these facial wipes. I think my skin looks and feels more firm. I am very happy with these and will continue to buy them." — Katrina M. "I think I might be the only 51-year-old with acne, and these wipes really get rid of my zits fast. I love the smell, not overpowering or anything, barely there." — Shirley Get a two-pack (100 wipes total) for $13.99. 18. An anti-humidity spray since there's nothing more obnoxious than when you spend hours doing your 'do only for it to be ruined as soon as you step outside. This spray creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture and prevents frizziness. It lasts up to 72 hours (!!) or through two to three shampoos. Honestly, you'll wish you bought it years ago! Promising review:"I don't usually try all the latest hair things because my hair is very fine and it doesn't like product. But, I received it as a sample, and I can't believe how nice it made my hair and how long it lasted. I have to wash every single day, or my hair would be limp and lifeless. You could tell if I didn't wash my hair for one day. This miracle stuff makes it so that I don't have to wash my hair for a good three days at least and it still looks fresh. It also lasts between washes, so I only have to use it every other wash or sometimes not for three or four. I can't live without this now that I found it. It took me till my 50s to find this amazing product. I sure coulda used this in my 20s!" — B.S. Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). FYI, reviewers with kinky/coily hair suggest the extra strength version! 19. A splurge-worthy and dermatologist-recommended Elta MD tinted sunscreen because sun protection is a must at any age, but especially for those with sensitive skin. Though this tinted version only comes in one shade, the lightweight formula that provides SPF 41 coverage WHILE working as a foundation has made it a best seller. It's also not greasy, free of fragrance, non-comedogenic, free of oil, and free of parabens. Promising review: "Finally a sunscreen that doesn't make my face itch all day! Sure wish they would bring the price down. Love how it blends in and is soft and moisturizing. I'm 59 and this goes on smooth and doesn't ball up under my makeup." — Melony Phillips Get it from Amazon for $35.20. 20. Or EltaMD *clear* sunscreen that's somehow perfect for those with oily skin, mature skin, acne-prone skin, AND sensitive skin. So, if you check all of those boxes you're about to be in heaven. It's got over 31,000 5-star reviews singing it's praises! Promising review: "Protects me from sun makes my skin feel great. My dermatologist recommended it, she said this was great for protection from the harmful rays of the sun and as a moisturizer for my foundation. I wear it every day and I am frequently complimented on my complexion — that makes this 78-year-old feel special. I credit EltaMD!" — Judith Get it from Amazon for $44. 21. A peel-off lip stain, the lip stain that ~glides~ on a holographic blue and peels off to unveil a gorgeous, long-lasting lip stain! According to reviewers, it can withstand any eating and drinking you do throughout the day, too. At this point, it's not a want but a need! Wonderskin is a woman-owned small business! Promising review: "Y'ALL. I am 50-something years old and have tried every 'long wear' and 'stain' there is, from department store robbery level to 'bitten' or whatever the vampire lip stain Revlon had out a while back. At my age, I longed for a lip color that didn't leave my telltale wrinkled lip impression on a glass. But alas, all of the long-wear formulas were disappointing, dull, and, most of all, DRY. I was skeptical, but I have spent way more on crappy lip potions that I won't use but apparently keep to torture myself about my wasteful spending. The purple was shocking, and the first time I used it, I sprayed and peeled pretty quickly, lest I end up with 1978 Donna Summer disco-era hologram lips that I definitely could not pull off in my office. And to my amazement, that stuff STAYED ON. Not dry, not seeping into cracks, not sticky, not weird tasting, not staining my teeth. Just like a 'bitten lip' — a slightly tinted natural color was there. The longer you let it sit, the darker it gets. After a FEW glasses of wine, pasta drizzled with a really good olive oil, salad, and dessert, there's STILL some color! Stayed on through smooches, too." — Kelly K. Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 32 shades). 22. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder because it's a non-aerosol, travel-friendly dry shampoo that'll give you the ~illusion~ of clean, ungreasy hair in a matter of seconds — and what's more magical than that? Keep this in your bag for when you're in need of a luscious locks pick-me-up. Promising reviews: " I love this product. I have never gotten the hang of the dry shampoo spray but this works like a charm! ...I am 50 years old and I love it!" — Carolyn "I'm in my sixties [and] my hair is fine but not thin. I get it highlighted, so I try not to wash it but a couple of times a week. I've tried many dry shampoo sprays, including some high-end brands, and I hated them all. I love this product. It works great for my hair even after a run, and my head sweats a lot. I let my hair dry and use this the next morning, and it will hold the product for a couple of days. Best I've found, and I'm sticking with it." — Theresa M. Sullivan Get it from Amazon for $18. 23. A teeth-whitening pen that's easier and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes. Paying tons of $$$ at the dentist and dealing with whitening strips that never stay on properly are *not* our only options, folks! With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done. Promising review:"I've had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice on the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I'm proud to smile!" — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A splurge-worthy bottle of Olaplex No. 3 for a salon-like hair treatment right at home. It's specifically made to repair damaged hair and restore your gorgeous locks. Promising review: "For the price of this small bottle, I had very high expectations, and it truly delivered! This is not a hair conditioner. As it says on the bottle, it is a 'hair bonder.' I am 55 years old, and I dye my gray Asian hair every 3–4 weeks. This makes my hair very frizzy and dry-looking no matter how much I condition. After using this twice — I washed my hair first, towel dried it, applied Olaplex, left it on for 10–15 minutes each time, did a quick rinse, towel dried it, and then blow-dried it —, the result is just amazing! No more frizz and fly-away hair. That was two days ago and still looks good." — SusannaF Get it from Amazon for $30. 25. OR a more affordable collagen-coating hair treatment because it's something reviewers refer to as "magic in a bottle." Say goodbye to frizz and grease after just 10 minutes (yep, 10!) with this in your hair! Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed Promising review:"This product has a light but really lovely scent. I absolutely love it! My almost waist-length hair was seriously damaged by my last hairstylist. I've tried everything to make my hair shinier and more manageable, with less frizz. I've been through countless deep conditioning treatments with little results...'til I found CER 100! I'm in my early fifties, so I have hair that is far from 'virgin.' If mine looks this great, that says a lot! My only wish? That it came in a bigger tube/bottle!" — C. Fordham Get it from Amazon for $8.40. Read our review of Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for." 26. A reusable Revlon volcanic face roller that'll absorb shine in seconds *without* messing up your makeup — how awesome is that? Simply roll it over any oily or greasy areas of your face and watch it work its magic. Promising review:"I thought no possible way this thing could work so I was pleasantly surprised when it did. I have very oily skin, and I'm 60-something. It has been the bane of my existence since my teenage years. Just roll it around your face slowly and the oil is stopped up. I used it over and over for a week before I washed it, but it was still going strong. I only washed it because it was probably bacteria-laden by then. Don't need old cake powder anymore. Just go for a roll. The plastic case could stand to be a little sturdier, though." — karen johnson Get it from Amazon for $8.84. 27. Sunday Riley night oil because it does the hard work while you sleep! And I know we'll all happily take an effective product that needs minimal effort. This retinol, chamomile, and avocado-infused oil plumps your skin, reduces redness and fine lines and makes your skin feel as soft as a baby's bottom. Amazon Promising review: "I have fair, dry, sensitive skin along with pustular rosacea. I am VERY careful with everything I put on my skin, hair, and face. I have my day routine and products locked in — but I was struggling to find products for my nighttime routine. I just turned 50 and have been struggling with how to use and which retinol to use with my rosacea. I read some great reviews about this, and although I was a little skeptical due to the color and the fragrance (two things my skin does not normally like), I decided to give it a shot. I feel like my skin smiles and thanks me when I apply this! In the colder, drier months, I apply a moisturizer on top of the oil after I have given it a little time to absorb. My skin has NEVER looked or felt this good. Bright, glowy, smooth, and the fine lines and wrinkles are looking smoother and softer. And NOT a single ROSACEA outbreak. Of course, I wish that this was a little more financially friendly, but a little goes a long way, and I am so happy with this product that I know I will be purchasing it over and over." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $55. 28. A set of 24-karat gold collagen under-eye gels that'll help rid you of dark circles and puffiness within 20 minutes, thanks to ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid. Apply a pair while making dinner, reading a book, meditating, or just watching TV. They'll feel so hydrating! Promising reviews:"I love this product. I'm 53 years old and wake up daily with puffy eyes and dark circles. I apply them, and 20 minutes later, they are gone!! I definitely recommend this product." — Amazon Customer "These are by far the best eye patches I've used, and I have added them to my subscriptions so I never miss a day. I'm 64 years old and, due to multiple major life stressors over the last three years, have gone from looking 20 years younger than my age to looking every minute of my years. I've tried everything and have spent a small fortune trying to look less haggard and puffy. These patches are amazing. The box says you'll see a difference in a few days, and I really did. There are no wrinkles under my eyes, and it lasts through the workday rather than the 10 minutes I've seen with some other patches. Put them in the fridge, they feel extra good!" — Amazon Customer Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $12.25 (also available in three other sets). 29. A shampoo scalp massager because what's the point of washing your hair if you aren't truly getting to the roots?! Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted. The soft, thick bristles cleanse and exfoliate your scalp and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Promising reviews:"I notice a difference in using this for about a month, twice a week. I am 58 and have had thinning hair for a very long time; this brush seems to be thickening the spots where I have hair; I see why so many people are very happy with it." —J.G. "As I've gotten older (62), my scalp has gotten itchy, so I thought I'd give this a try. Used it twice and already feel a difference. It makes my scalp tingle and just feels good. I just scrub with shampoo in my hair for about a minute. It's easy to hold and washes off nicely." — Cindylou Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in three colors). 30. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help eliminate rough, dead skin in *minutes*. Many reviewers say it only took as long as two to three to see results! After applying this gel, simply scrub with a foot file and your heels will feel brand new. Promising review:"I take very good care of my 67-year-old feet. Always have cause I am a distance walker and biker. Yet summer sandal weather in Texas had them looking and feeling less than baby-pink and soft. For me, it only took only 3 minutes on the heels and ball of foot, with a bit on the outside edge of the big toe. But WOW, this really worked. In 10 minutes total, I am soft and super smooth and good to go!" — C. brown Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 31. A set of flexible curling rods to save tons of time in the morning because you won't need to wake up at the crack of dawn to curl your hair. These will give you bouncy curls without the heat damage and work on both wet and dry hair! Promising review:"I love these rollers. My hair is very thin, and the hot rollers and dryer that I have been using have further destroyed my hair. These rollers are easy to use. I put a little water on each section, roll, and usually wait two hours. My curls are great and stay all day. I am 70 years old." — The Sutherlands Get 42 rods from Amazon for $13.99. 32. Cult-favorite Embryolisse, a French moisturizing cream specifically created to hydrate, protect, soothe, and nourish your skin. Many professional makeup artists use it as a primer as well, so you're really getting a great 2-for-1 deal here! 👏🏾 Promising review: "AMAZING for this 70-year-old. With a counter of serums, lotions, and potions, I have found the ONE! Not only does it moisturize, but it smells divine!! I apply vitamin C and multi-peptide serum s then this cream. PERFECT also as a primer under my tinted sunscreen, which I use for foundation." — MRW Get it from Amazon for $17. 33. A hydrating E.l.f. CC cream for anyone looking for an ~airbrushed~ makeup look. It'll be like walking around with a filter on, except you're helping and protecting your skin, too! It's made with hyaluronic acid to provide hydration and peptides and niacinamide to help balance your complexion. Promising review: "I'm blown away and excited to find a foundation that is equal if not better in quality AND 3x cheaper than my favorite CC cream. I am 63 years old with fair skin (Irish heritage) with freckles, redness and age spots. This Camo Cream is a full-coverage foundation, which I love and need in order to smooth out my complexion. It's not heavy, and a little goes a long way. I will definitely be ordering this again." — Lisa Germano Get it from Amazon for $11.93+ (available in 28 shades). 34. A magical lip balm to take your lips from rough and tough to soft and smooth! The shea butter formula hydrates and moisturizes your lips *and* is long-lasting, too. Yes, this has SPF 25, but don't depend on it for full sun protection! Learn more about why you need SPF 30 minimum from these AAD Guidelines. Promising reviews:" Nothing has healed my chapped lips like this balm …it is AMAZING. I'm a 72-year-old woman, and I've tried a lot of lip therapies. This is the best!!" — Sharon " Works extremely well on my chapped and dry lips. Best product I've ever used, and I'm 70 years old! Application is designed perfectly so the application of the meds are distributed where and exactly in the correct area. LOVE this stuff." — Jetson 49 Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors). 35. A "flossing toothbrush" that reviewers with sensitive teeth find ~extremely~ helpful in a sea of tough-bristled options. It's designed with two types of bristles: flossing bristles that are 10 times thinner for really getting into the grooves between your teeth and regular firm bristles that are designed to last longer than the nylon bristles in most common toothbrushes. Also, you get to show off at the dentist there's that. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Promising review: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the flossing-like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every four days, brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh, and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a real dentist!" — BenK Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 36. A flat top foundation brush to make blending a ~seamless~ task thanks to its soft (yet firm!) bristles and easy-to-hold thicker handle. Reviewers say it works great for both powder *and* liquid foundations and that it doesn't absorb tons of product like beauty sponges do. Promising review: "I am 55 years old and have applied foundation with my fingertips, or more recently makeup sponges, for my entire lifespan of wearing makeup. I've been unhappy with sponges lately as I feel I wipe more off with a sponge than stays on my face. The foundation also did not seem evenly distributed. I decided to try a foundation brush. I am beyond happy with this purchase. The bristles are extremely soft, and the brush head is very dense. I also feel I use less foundation product. As soon as I begin applying, my face looks transformed. I love how my complexion looks flawless with foundation, evenly distributed. I truly feel like a different person. I just cleaned the brush for the first time, and the brush cleaned up very well and returned to its original look and shape. I just purchased a second one so that I always have one cleaned and ready for use." — Linda Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
