If You Want Your Brain Tickled In The Best Way Possible, Check Out These 48 Products With Satisfying Results
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Some of these before-after-after images are truly making me believe in miracles. 1. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 2. The Pink Stuff, aka the Swiss Army knife of cleaning products because it can do it all. You can literally scrub your house from top to bottom with this jar of miracle paste and make everything ✨ sparkle ✨ once again. You got dirty grout? Gone. Grease? Good riddance. The caked-on gunk at the bottom of your cast-iron pan that seems impossible to get rid of? Buh-bye!!! Promising reviews:"I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don't even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." — Hailey Peters " This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CLR wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 3. A Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream that helps renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula can help keep them hydrated and strong. Promising review:"Achieved holy grail status. My entire life I have had very weak nails that split. Regular manicures aren't helpful, neither are supplements or a healthy diet. No underlying health issues to contribute to this. I bought this a month ago on a recommendation. I'm pretty amazed that within three days I saw a significant improvement with the cuticles and my nails have been getting stronger ever since. For the first time ever my nails look healthy and strong and I can wear polish and still see benefits. Some of the reviews talk about a weird cherry smell but I think I have a reformulated one that smells light and pleasant, like shea butter. I have since bought two for the office and one for my car. GAME CHANGER!" — R. Weber Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 4. And a nail renewal formula so you can treat that poor, discolored toe that you stubbed on the side of your bed (but obviously it was the bed's fault, duh, not yours). You'll start to see reduced discoloration and improved texture in as little as two days — don't believe me? Then trust these reviewers! This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve their appearance, *and* reduce discoloration and thickness, leaving you with some dramatic results. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available with a nail file). 5. A wire-free bra with a drawstring in the middle that'll give your boobs a push and allow you to adjust the tightness. Can a regular push-up bra do that? I think NOT. Promising review: "I usually go to Victoria's Secret for their bombshell bra, pay way too much, and deal with being uncomfortable from having to layer a sports bra over it to keep my boobs in place. But I am a huge fan of this bra. The fit is great, comfy wide band and adjustable. I can wear it every day all day, and I will forget it's there every time because of how soft it is. I don't have to keep fluffing it up." — Shadow witch Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 32A–40C and nine colors). 6. Tonymoly's octopus-shaped scrub stick to help remove whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips. Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" — Diane Delfino Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 7. A stain and odor eliminator because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of saying, "Bad dog!" you'll be shouting, "Amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that — gone. Check out why this TikToker loves this stuff here. Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I'm potty training a puppy and it's not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I'm writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I'm buying more the second I'm done with this review. I love it." — lexi Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 8. An earwax removal kit so next time someone whispers in your ear, you won't have to scream "HUH???" This will soften and loosen earwax for easy cleaning so you'll be able to hear everything loud and clear. Check out the customer review pics to see serious *chunks* removed from their ears! Promising review:"My right ear has been plugged up for months. I squirted warm water in there, peroxide, tried various ear scraper tools, then just gave up. A month or so later, I saw this product at a local CVS, and gave it a try. Laid on couch with several drops in my ear for a half hour. I could hear weird fizzing noises. Then I flushed warm water in my ear with the included soft bulb syringe, and out came the culprit. Had to have been deep in there." — fixitforgood Get it from Amazon for $8.97. 9. A stainless-steel skin spatula that scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! Promising review:"I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller Get it from Amazon for $15.78+ (available in three colors). 10. And a stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue. It'll remove that weird taste from your mouth and odor-causing bacteria, so the next time someone offers you a stick of gum, you'll know it's NOT because you have bad breath. is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. Promising review:"I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn't see much results, so I didn't stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which is a good thing in this case;-). An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" — Lyra18 Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in multipacks). 11. An impressive peanut butter knife that had to have been designed by a genius. It'll get out all the PB from the sides, bottom, and crevices so you can enjoy every. last. drop. #PBloversunite! Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items when grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* " Here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES after scraping the bottom of a big ol' peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously, if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife. "*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." — CW Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 12. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes thanks to its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part: The formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it gives the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5, AND it has over 248,000 5-star ratings! Promising review:"I rarely post reviews. To actually type out something positive or negative just isn't my thing unless something is epic. Well, this product is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! My 12-year-old daughter asked me for this because all of her friends were using it. For $5, I thought, I'll try one for myself because the reviews were great. I mean WOWZER! I waited until I had worn it all day through a workday. I put this mascara on over 12 hours ago. It glided on so easy and smooth, like none of the mascaras I've ever used, and boom! Thick and volume lashes with no clumps. I don't look like spider legs are growing either. I will say that it's flaked a bit this afternoon, but seriously, it hit the 12-hour mark with no problems whatsoever." — Ryan Davis Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors and as a pack of three). And check out our full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review for more details. 13. A bottle of Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle because your kids and pets have been dragging dirt inside your home for way too long, and it's finally time to clean it. This formula will tackle any messes and spills, leaving your carpet as good as new. This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners. Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in biodegradable cleaning products. Promising review: "Worth every penny. I've bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I'd give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I'll never use another cleaner." — Wendy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents). 14. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens that can help remove years of staining and only take 30 seconds to apply! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers. Promising review:"I have bought so many products to whiten my teeth, and none worked as well nor were as reasonably priced as this pen. Two days into using this pen twice a day, I could see a significant difference. This took out stains from coffee, tea, and wine and even removed the discoloration from previously smoking. I wish I found this product sooner! One thing I noticed was that this doesn't cause any teeth sensitivity. I am super impressed and will continue to use this for years to come." — Alicia Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 15. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it with vinegar and water, heat it up, and wipe down the inside once all the steam runs out (which takes around seven minutes). There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama! Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 16. A brush kit that you attach to a drill. A DRILL. If you don't want to scrub the heck out of your mildew-infested tub (aka an unwarranted workout sesh), just attach it to the head and let the tool do it for ya — all you need to do is move it around! Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying! The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon! Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla. It specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." — Jason B. Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles). 17. A Korean exfoliating mitt to buff all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok! Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available as a pair). 18. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 147,000 5-star reviews (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it "the best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out! Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed Promising review:" If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three styles). 19. A descaling solution so you can finally rid your coffee machine or espresso maker of limescale and mineral buildup without scrubbing. It'll extend the life of your machine *and* make your cup o' joe taste better. Promising review:"I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." — Lenore Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 20. And a set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to cleanse your machine of old coffee grinds and residue. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run. It can help extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh! Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95. 21. A jar of super moisturizing O'Keeffe's hand cream that may be the savior for your extremely dry, cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer (unscented and non-greasy!) that will actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour. For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime. Promising review:"I didn't think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn't disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it'll last a while! We'll most certainly be repeat customers!" — HSmomma Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in two sizes and also in a pack of two or 12). 22. A bestselling pack of Mighty Patches to tackle pesky pimples head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus, they help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them (so they can actually heal faster)! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more! Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." — nekojita Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 23. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches because the grime and excess oil in your nose are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98. 24. A medicated dog shampoo that could help your poor doggo who's been dealing with dry, flaky, and oily skin. Plus, it can give them a healthier-looking coat! Happy dog = happy you. It's paraben-, dye-, and soap-free! Promising review:"Naturally, because of the ingredients, it has a strong smell. However, it does seem to leave my dog's skin feeling dry and provides good relief for her poor itchy skin. My dog Molly is a 9-pound mini dachshund whose little chest makes contact with the grass all the time so her skin gets itchy and irritated. I've been bathing her regularly with this shampoo and it is giving her some relief. No more greasy, flaky skin. Her skin and fur is now dry and soft." — Climbyourarms Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in three sizes). 25. A cooktop cleaning kit to take you one step closer to having the kitchen you've always dreamed about. Now you can chef it up all day long without having to worry about a messed-up stove! The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new." — Christi Get it from Amazon for $13.98. 26. Or a gas range cleaning spray that'll make cleaning your stovetop easy-peasy, no-more- grease -y. All you have to do is spray and wipe to make your stove look good as new! Promising review: "This stuff really works on grease! I was skeptical about purchasing this product because nothing seemed to clean my greasy stovetop. A friend recommended that I try this brand and when I saw the chance to get a two-pack, I thought it would be a value. Once I used this for the first time, I am never going back to wiping down my stovetop the same way again." — Kindle Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98. 27. A popular anti-dandruff shampoo to help get rid of those stubborn flakes that refuse to leave your scalp. The antifungal formula helps eliminate the very *source* of dandruff (begone 🤺) so you won't have to deal with the flaking and itching anymore! Promising review:"This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad, I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." — Moo Moo Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 28. Base Labs keloid minimizer that helps reduce and heal those pesky lil' (or, in some cases, big) bumps that decided to grow in with your new piercing. Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this two to three times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results. 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 forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this 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 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!" — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks). 29. A deshedding glove so you can groom your fuzzy BFF without them fussing, because they'll probably enjoy it! BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing: " The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. "We got Rockie when he was 5, and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.97. 30. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, a body scrub for exfoliating dry and rough bumps, especially those caused by keratosis pilaris (aka "strawberry" or "chicken" skin). It also helps decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for all types of skin! Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once in a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes). 32. A jewelry cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics ~shine bright like a diamond~. Save yourself a trip to the cleaner, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen and brush the solution on. Lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new! Promising review:"This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" — KFray Get it from Amazon for $9.48. 33. Some arnica bruise cream if you're clumsy by nature (guilty!) and get bruises ALL the time, even in your sleep. This will calm bumps, swelling, and discoloration, so you'll be grateful to have it around the next time you take a trip to the pantry (and inevitably bump into the corner). Promising review:"I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (it doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stuntman told me I should use arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" — J. Yount Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 34. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo to thoroughly remove all concealer, foundation, highlighter, or blush from your brushes instead of just running them through water. It washes out makeup fast without using any harsh chemicals — perfect if you have sensitive skin. Use it with a silicone brush-cleaning mat for the ultimate cleanse! This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" — Ryan Brooks Get it from Amazon for $6. 35. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act! 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:"I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 36. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes because as much as you want to be a plant parent, your green kiddos are struggling — even though you *swear* you're feeding and watering them enough. I don't know what kind of sorcery was put into these tiny spikes, but what I *do* know is that they can revive the saddest, limpest plants, hence the name ~Miracle-Gro~. Stick these into the soil, and they'll fertilize it for up to two months! Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. Promising review:"I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." — victoria Get a two-pack of 48 spikes from Amazon for $11.49, and get a version for orchids here. 37. An ink remover if your kid (or you) stained your fave shirt that you thought was done for. Just rub this formula into the ruined area and let it sit for up to 12 hours. Then you can just toss it into the washing machine with all your other laundry! Plus, this bad boy also works wonders for blood, wine, grass, and other stains. For permanent marker specifically, reviewers say it does take some time and scrubbing, but they were able to get most if not all of the stain out with persistence! Promising review:"Imagine large blobs of permanent blue Sharpie on a white football uniform. Now imagine that the ink had sat on the garment for over a week before the uniform was washed and dried by a mom completely unaware of the ink blobs. This product took out 95%+ of the ink and was easy to use. Now said kiddo does not look like the only one with a spotted jersey. A+ result." — Baby B's Mom Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three sizes and multipacks). 38. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment because your windshield wipers do absolutely nothing when it starts to torrentially downpour. This'll repel rain, sleet, and snow from your windows so you can actually see while you drive. Stay safe out there! Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging! Promising review:"I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." — Alison J. Gong Get two bottles from Amazon for $9.62. 39. A value-size bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll be your savior if you've noticed your hair thinning. The keratin, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and — of course — biotin formula helps nourish your scalp so your locks can grow in thicker than ever. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in skincare and haircare made from naturally derived ingredients. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not crazy about the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it in a value size from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three scents and also in smaller sizes). 40. A fabric defuzzer because those darn pills *ugh* refuse to come off of your clothes no matter how many times you go over them with a lint roller. This nifty thing will safely remove all the fuzz, lint, and pills so you can wear your fave sweater out again. Promising review:"TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." — Ruth Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors and two styles: battery-powered or rechargeable). 41. A two-pack of kojic acid dark spot remover soap that helps restore moisture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and leaves your skin glowing. Its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric formula can be applied anywhere on your body — including your bikini area! Promising review:"My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We're delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." — Bathusi Lobaka Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a set of three, four, or five). 42. A foot file to scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin. Promising reviews:"Okay, so I'm still in shock how well this worked and gave me soft beautiful heels again! I've had dry, cracked 'teeth' on my heels since eight years ago from being a server at two restaurants…and I'm like WHY DIDN'T I discover this sooner?! It had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to wear sandals in public because they just looked so gross. Then one day I realized that I should probably try SOMETHING because they were getting so bad that the 'teeth' would scratch my leg at night when my foot swiped my leg and it hurt haha so I saw this Rikans file for $10 and after some research decided to give it a shot. I honestly think thought it would take at least 10 sessions before I'd see any improvement but NO! This tool just grated my teeth away in ONE session." — benjamin kim Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 43. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel so you can soften the hard skin to easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice stone or rasp to scrub away. 🧽 Promising review:"This has been a lifesaver. I bought this and a pedicure kit. Had I known how well this would work I would have just purchased this. I had no idea this existed. I have been living in pain for years due to a callus on my foot that comes and goes after a lit of work. This stuff melts the skin away. I am amazed and wish I found it sooner." — Samantha Sims Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 44. AND! A Dermora foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the mask on for about an hour, and within 6–11 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right? Promising review: "My feet were definitely in need of some attention. I didn't have high expectations, but was super impressed by the results. It was a weird process as my skin began to peel off over a two week span of time. It was definitely hard to keep from using lotion as it worked its magic because my feet were itchy, but it was worth the discomfort in the end. My feet are baby soft! I will not hesitate to purchase this again when my feet need some love." — Kimi Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five scents). 45. A pack of FryAway Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder for disposing of grease without the fear of burning yourself or clogging your pipes. Just sprinkle and stir the powder into hot oil and watch it coagulate, then safely dump it in the trash. FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy! Promising review:"Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." — Ryan O. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes). 46. A pet hair scraper to help rid your home of hair that your fuzzy friend leaves everywhere. Just run it over any fabric surface to get the most satisfying fur removal ever! Promising review:"My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time; the tool is small), my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum, and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find, and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 47. Easy-to-use retainer cleaner tablets if you've sniffed your retainers lately and been like "woof." 😳 Just drop a tablet into a cup of water and let the retainer soak for about 15 minutes to remove all odor-causing bacteria and stains. Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." — Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81 (also available in a 60- or 240- pack). 48. A pumice stone to scrub off the scum that's chilling in your toilet bowl — the stuff that, no matter how hard you scrub with bleach, never comes off. This scouring stick removes mineral deposits, limescale, rust, and other stains in a matter of minutes *without* damaging your porcelain. These pumice stones can also be used to clean other surfaces, like ceramic tile, concrete, and porcelain, around your home! Promising review:"I can't even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed by the toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can't even drink it, so it stains everything it touches. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend it to anyone I know!" — MorganeC. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.56.

46 Skincare Products That Are 100% Worth The Investment
1. A moisturizing TirTir milk toner if your skin needs a little hydration boost before moisturizing or putting on makeup. It's formulated with chamomile, which reduces redness and irritation, and rice bran extracts to help even skin tone and enhance brightness. Psst…It's also alcohol-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin. Promising reviews: "For a toner, this is SO hydrating and just heavenly. It's perfect for makeup prep as it has just a tad of tackiness right after applying. Goes on under my serums and moisturizer perfectly and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. I saw it recommended by a YouTuber and tried it and it's now a daily use for me, which is rare because I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and I'm very picky about skincare. I can't recommend this enough, truly." — Amazon Customer "One of my favorite finds from watching TikTok videos. Definitely worth the hype. Feels amazing on the skin. I keep it in the fridge!!" — VickyT Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes and a lighter version). 2. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 3. Etude House's Soonjung 2x Barrier Intense Cream, because K-beauty for the win, duh, and with good reason! If you're a victim of dry skin, suffer no longer because this TikTok-fave magical cream will strengthen your skin's barrier to better retain moisture! Wave goodbye to your dry, irritated skin and hello to your smooth, hydrated face. Promising review:"My skin is supple, soft, and feels great. This product is lightweight and clean with no fragrance. I love this moisturizer and hope Etude House never stops making it." — S. Benni Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a set with toner and cleanser). 4. A Tonymoly octopus-shaped scrub stick that removes whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips. Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last a while because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" — Diane Delfino Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 5. Mixsoon Bean Essence, yet another K-beauty staple reviewers love because it exfoliates and hydrates their skin at the same time — that's pretty darn tootin' marvelous. The fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate formula helps to remove dead skin cells, deeply hydrate, and revitalize your skin tone. Promising reviews: " I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: It works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" — Losa "I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." — MissKayMae Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in two sizes). 6. LivaClean Superstar pimple patches that are so cute, you might not even be that mad at the next pimple you get since you'll have an excuse to put one of these bad boys on. They look just like Starface patches but for a fraction of the price — and reviewers say these work way better for shrinking blemishes and helping them heal! Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that's SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they're SO expensive and don't work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it's adorable.' 10/10 from me :)" — evalyn evoke "Works great, just like the other top brands. For a fraction of the price!!" — Madia Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four designs/shapes as well as a six-pack). 7. Or cult-fave Mighty Patches to tackle those pesky pimples head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus, they help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them (so they can actually heal faster)! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more! Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." — nekojita Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 8. Plus, nose pore patches that remove the grime and excess oil in your nose that are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $6.99. 9. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm if your face always feels icky even after you've cleansed and removed makeup. Not only will this magical balm (formulated with pearl barley and vitamin E) remove a full face of makeup, but it's also designed to leave ZERO residue or oiliness. On top of that (as if things couldn't get any better), it helps brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. You can stop buying the harsh and drying disposable wipes now! Promising review:"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 10. A Saem hydrating eye stick that uses ingredients like Icelandic glacial water, moss and seaweed extracts, and niacinamide to address dark circles, lines, and puffiness — all without oils. If you feel like *nothing* gets rid of those all-nighter eye bags, this might just be your savior. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to help better reduce puffiness! It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. Promising review:"I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." — HeartsUnfold Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other styles and in multipacks). 11. And! A LilyAna Naturals eye cream to help reduce dark circles and fine lines using all-natural and vegan ingredients. Reviewers praise the results at this low price and compare it to *much* pricier brands. So if you've been staying up well past your bedtime for the past week bingeing your fave TV show (and it shows around your eyes), this miracle cream will come to your rescue. Promising review:"Seriously, try this eye cream! Holy grail status. I don't think I've ever left a review on Amazon before. This eye cream is THAT good. I was a makeup artist for years. I've been using an eye cream daily since I was 19 (over a decade), so have tried lots of brands, and this stuff is phenomenal! It's now become my go-to cream for my face, eyes, neck, AND décolletage. My skin veers toward dry and I haven't found a face cream I like as much as this that isn't $75, so I just use it all over. The jar is big enough for that and a little goes a LONG way. Use this cream twice a day for the eyes — in the morning under the eye and before bed under the eye and also on the eye lid up to the brow bone — and you will fall in love, too." — L.R. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). 12. A shea sugar scrub here to make your skin silky smooth and smell scrumdiddlyumptious. The sugar, which is a natural exfoliant, will scrub away dead skin, and the AHA will help brighten and tone your skin! Check out a TikTok of it in action. Promising review: " You simply will NOT believe how smooth and soft your skin is after just one use. Right out of the shower, your skin is transformed to near perfection! I'm still in awe! With regular use, your skin becomes clear and all those dark spots and 'strawberry legs' disappear. I've tried dozens of body scrubs and this one is hands down the best. TIP: Make sure your skin is slightly damp, NOT WET. If your skin is too wet, the exfoliating crystals melt without doing much. On damp skin, you can feel the crystals working their miracles. This is actually a good thing because you can customize the strength/harshness of the scrub to the sensitivity of your skin!" — LadyLoLinda Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in 30 scents). 13. A Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap to restore moisture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and leaves your skin glowing. Its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric formula can be applied anywhere on your body — including your bikini area! Promising review:"My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We're delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." — BATHUSI LOBAKA Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a set of three, four, or five). 14. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow, aka a godsend for your pores. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, watermelon extract, and cactus water, this toner not only locks in moisture and helps minimize the appearance of pores and wrinkles but also exfoliates and decongests your skin with PHA and BHAs! True to its name, it'll also leave you with a gorgeous dewy glow. ✨ Amazon Promising review:"I am in love with this toner. It has given me the most perfect glow. I love applying makeup over it because it makes my skin look so flawless and pore-free! It is definitely worth the price!!" — Fatima Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes). 15. A First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser that exfoliates dry and rough bumps, especially those caused by keratosis pilaris (aka "strawberry" or "chicken" skin). This scrub can also help decongest pores and remove dead flakes. It's vegan and cruelty-free and safe for all types of skin! Promising review:"Holy grail for KP arms and strawberry legs. I have tried EVERYTHING on my KP in the last 30 years, and nothing has ever worked this well and this easily. I use it two or three times a week in the shower and finish with a light moisturizer when I get out. And that's all it took to completely change my skin to silky smooth! I would pay $100 for a tube of this — it would be worth it to me. Total holy grail status." — Houston Mommy Get it from Amazon for $10.20+ (available in three sizes). 16. A bottle of Tower 28 SOS Spray to rejuvenate and refresh your face throughout the day (with or without makeup) whenever your skin starts to feel a little irritated and starts screaming SOS. Keep it in your gym bag to give yourself a lil' refresh after a workout or in your purse after a long day out in the sun! Hypochlorous acid (which, fun fact, is found naturally in our body's white blood cells) is both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to help soothe your beautiful skin. Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients and are also vegan and cruelty-free. Promising review: "What is this magic in a bottle??? LIFESAVER!!! I wish I found this product sooner; it really made a difference with pimples, redness, and pores!! Will repurchase forever." — mariavel Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or direct from Tower 28 for $12+ (available in three sizes). 17. Or SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray, beloved by so many reviewers because it's just like the Tower 28 SOS spray, only way cheaper *and* double the size! It targets acne-causing bacteria without drying out your skin and helps soothe any redness or irritation — all you have to do is spray it on your face when you need an instant refresh! Check out a TikTok of it in action! Promising review:"I have ordered this twice now. If my skin is breaking out I just spray this on after washing my face and let it air dry. It is nonirritating and nondrying. It has a light chlorine smell to me. I can use both morning and night with no irritation. After a few days of this, my skin started clearing up! I put some in a travel spray bottle and take it when I'm flying. My skin always feels dirty on planes, and I spray it on a few times on travel days to freshen my face and hopefully kill some bacteria. It sprays over makeup with no issues." — SaraSmile11 Get it from Amazon for $17.46. 18. Bio-Oil — it uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act! Promising reviews:"Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I've been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it's made such a difference! It's basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." — sarah_baerah Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in two sizes). 19. Elizavecca's Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that exfoliates your skin and removes blackheads for the ultimate spa experience. After applying it, wait five minutes for bubbles to form, remove the foam, and let the charcoal sit briefly before washing it off — fun and purifying! Promising review:"I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle, but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it, after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning my skin glowed. Def will be buying more." — Alice D. Get it from Amazon for $9.80. 20. A Revlon Volcanic Face Roller to soak up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers! Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." — Jennifer Helseth Get it from Amazon for $7.80. 21. A stainless-steel skin spatula that scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! Promising review:"I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 22. Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream to help smooth and tighten skin with its caffeine and guaraná extract formula. Reviewers rave about how it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks (if that's something you're looking to address — but remember you look fab 🎶 just the way you are 🎶)! Plus, it has a pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla that just made my mouth water. Caffeine is an antioxidant that can brighten skin complexion and temporarily reduce stretch marks and the appearance of cellulite if that's something you want to do. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic! Promising review:"Y'all. This stuff smells like heaven. Somehow this scent is appropriate for summer and winter at the same time. It absorbs quickly with no sticky feelings afterward. The one thing that might deter some people from buying it is that there is a shimmer to it. Once I've used it on my hands, I notice that in sunlight, my skin has a bit of a glimmer. I personally love this and can't wait to use this lotion during the summer. I think it's 100% worth the high price tag. When I can summon up the will to spend the money, I'll be buying the body wash, spray, and full-sized lotion as well; currently, the mini lotion stays in my purse." — Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes). 23. The Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a cult-favorite for good reason: It soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness, and it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! Don't worry, no snails were harmed in its making (so Gary, you're safe). Promising reviews: "I'm in my 40s and have spent SO much money on skincare in the past few years and have finally found my holy grail. It felt moisturizing (I live in a hot tropical climate and most true moisturizers leave my face looking oily), cleared up my nose breakouts, evened out texture, kept oil under control, and even made my blackheads WAY less prominent. It has a gooey, almost sticky consistency that spreads very smoothly over the face and dries to nothing. I use it before applying my retinoid at night and add a layer after. In the morning, I use it before sunscreen (Australian Gold) and don't need to wear makeup anymore! Believe the hype!" — kaya "I saw this a couple of times on TikTok and decided, for the price it was definitely worth a try. Oh my gosh, do I wish I tried it sooner! I'm in my late 30's so I have a few lines and some texture. This has helped moisturize and even out my skin so much, and my face feels heavenly! My skin is pretty sensitive and I absolutely cannot stand when something smells bad, I haven't had any problems with this product at all. Just a warning to people that are allergic to shellfish, be careful with this product because you could have a reaction." — Mandy Bompiani Get it from Amazon for $18.70. 24. And the Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer if you want to look and feel positively radiant. This wonder product locks in moisture to plump, hydrate, and soothe parched skin. Check out a TikTok of the snail mucin moisturizer in action. Promising review:"If you're like me and have oily/combo skin that is also sensitive and prone to acne, this is an excellent product worth its price. Very little goes a long way since the slimy texture glides right over the skin. It does not leave any sticky residue, on the contrary, it is absorbed into the skin very quickly. It also keeps the skin moisturized but does not trap oil, in fact, I find my skin to be less oily after a few days of using it!" — Madeline Get it from Amazon for $20.49. 25. A CeraVe hydrating cleanser that gently cleanses skin of all types *without* stripping away your natural moisture. It's formulated with three ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help your skin stay hydrated! Reviewers with eczema and sensitive skin say that it doesn't irritate them AT. ALL. Watch someone test it out on TikTok! Promising reviews:"Doesn't dry my skin out at all! I can totally feel a difference in how my skin feels when I use this compared to other washes. I have super sensitive, eczema-ridden skin, and my eczema is especially flared up around my eyes, and this doesn't burn them or irritate them at all! I also struggle with acne, and this has helped me with that as well! I wish I would've found this sooner!"— Bridget Z. Get it from Amazon for $12.37+ (available in three sizes). 26. Pure NanoSteamer to open up your pores instead of taking a scorching hot shower to do so. It also triples as a towel warmer and humidifier — the perfect spa night 3-in-1. Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful if performing extractions on yourself as these can injure your skin if not used properly. Promising review:" After having seen my esthetician for a few months, I asked her for a facial steamer she'd recommend for home use. She suggested this one and I have been using it nightly since receiving it. It is VERY user-friendly and certainly is making my skin look healthy and therefore, makeup looks better when I go out for the evening, etc. I highly recommend this product and as I use it with a towel over my head in order to keep the steam more focused on my face, it's a complete joy and immensely relaxing." — Antonia O. Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors). 27. Bawdy butt sheet masks that leave your cheeks feeling moisturized and skin looking plump. They'll help tone and contour your booty with some plant-based collagen so your full body can get a self-care treatment. Hey, your bum deserves some TLC too! Amazon Promising review: "I love this! I put it on for about 10 to 15 minutes, and I can honestly say that I felt so much more hydrated, and I noticed some corrections in my skin tone. I'm going to buy more. I'm also very white, so you can see imperfections more easily if I'm not tan, and this helped a lot." — AM_Mama89 Get the "Bite It" mask from Amazon for $10.99 and find more versions here. 28. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm if you crave that "post-shower feeling" and ✨ glow ✨. This K-beauty product deserves a spot in your arsenal ASAP because it combines the power of lip balm, eye cream, primer, and MORE — what?! Its salmon complex and collagen formula helps reduce fine lines and can keep your skin hydrated for 48 hours. OK, fine, I've convinced myself to buy one. Promising reviews: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly this stick is life changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" — Kristy "I have heard about the great Korean beauty products. I have mouth lines that I don't like. I thought I'd give this product a try. It definitely plumps up my skin which helps decrease the appearance of my lip lines. It gives my normally dry skin a dewy finish. I really enjoy wearing it at bedtime. I'm going to be trying other items from this line. Cool product, there's a reason it took TikTok by storm." — nicky Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six styles) 29. Differin Retinoid gel that has the strength of a prescription med but is OTC. It'll infiltrate your pores and work from the inside to help prevent new acne from forming. Just apply a thin layer on needed areas once a day and let it work its magic. This gel has over 58,000 5-star ratings, and rightfully so! Promising review:" Has completely transformed my skin. I used to get hormonal acne every single month, I still get it now but far less often and severely. Differin has really made a big difference on my quality of life. I have sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple of times a week and always over a light layer of lotion. When I first started using it, my acne did get worse for about a month, and then magically one day, my skin looked amazing. It's worth a try for sure!" — Britt Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in four sizes). 30. The Ordinary's Oil Control Serum, a magical product for most of your skincare woes. Blackheads, whiteheads, acne, and dark spots — this serum can tackle it all. It's enriched with water-based minerals and vitamins that'll target congested pores, regulate excess sebum, and leave your skin looking radiant. Sephora Note: If you use vitamin C as part of your skincare routine, this should be used at an alternate time as the niacinamide in this can interact and make pure-form vitamin C less effective. Promising review:"My skin looks so much better compared to when I wasn't using it. I saw people using this on TikTok and bought it, and it has been one of the best purchase I've ever done." — yenach0 Get it from Sephora for $6+ (available in two sizes). 31. Seraphic Skincare's microdermabrasion mitt that buffs away all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok! Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available as a pair). 33. O'Keeffe's hand cream that just may be the savior for your extremely dry, cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer (unscented and non-greasy!) that'll actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour. For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime. Promising review:"I didn't think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn't disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it'll last a while! We'll most certainly be repeat customers!" — HSmomma Get it from Amazon for $9.78 (available in two sizes and also in a pack of two or 12). 34. A viral deep collagen overnight mask — if you've been looking for the ultimate glass skin hack, this is it. The mask goes on white, and once your face has absorbed all the collagen, it turns transparent. Leave it on while you relax for a few hours or even overnight as you sleep, and your face will be super hydrated, firm, and glowy afterward. Promising review: "I got influenced by TikTok and I'm pleased to say the hype is legit. I sleep in this mask and the next day my skin is so glowy and plump. That said, I have a small face and it takes a few hours for it to fully absorb and adhere. It's a good value for the price, and I would recommend sleeping in this. Wonderfully moisturizing and leaves my skin so bouncy and soft. Once it does fully absorb, I can sleep with my head on a pillow and it doesn't budge" — Kate Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in three other styles). 35. An Esarora ice roller that targets puffy areas on your face and soothes inflamed skin, headaches, and even sore muscles! Even if you don't need it, you can use it for a refreshing massage. Just keep it in the freezer, and it'll be ready to go whenever your face could use a little pampering. Promising review:"I went to a high-end spa that used one of these on my face. It felt so good so I ran home and found this on Amazon. This tool is the best. I use it for a thigh issue that needs to be iced frequently. It's so easy – no bags of ice? Just use the freezer roller! I use it for headaches and on my face to feel good! I can't say enough good things about this product — everyone should have one! My boyfriend loves it too!" — Rula Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors). 36.

Check out a TikTok of the matcha stick in action. Cocokind is a San Francisco-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in botanical-forward skincare with an emphasis on both physical and mental health. Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." — alizza d. Get it from Amazon for $8.99 or direct from Cocokind for $9. 37. A vegan under-eye brightener that helps reduce dark circles and balance bluish tones using hyaluronic acid and shea butter, which also nourish and hydrate your skin. So if you've been staying up well past your bedtime for the past week (and it shows around your eyes), this miracle cream will come to your rescue. This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush. Promising review:"I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I've spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I'm very pleased with this product!" — Lafinrsm Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four tones). 38. Or Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel if your eyes feel like they're sewn shut because of how puffy and swollen they get. This tube is packed with caffeine and hyaluronic acid to wake up your peepers and minimize all that swelling! Promising review:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 39. A bottle of Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant that can help remove dead skin, shrink and unclog pores, and smooth wrinkles. So many reviewers have raved about it also clearing acne and reducing breakouts. Talk about benefits on top of benefits! Promising reviews: " This!!!! This is my new holy grail product. I decided to switch up my skincare routine and did research on BHAs and this product because I had seen everyone talking about it. I have very very dry, acne-prone skin that also had tons of blackheads on my chin and nose and little bumps (I don't even know what they were) on my cheeks. I have been using this for around a week and a half and I've noticed such a huge difference. The bumps on my cheeks are gone, and the blackheads I had spent years trying to pop or pick out or use pore strips are basically gone. I have no idea how it worked so fast and I am so amazed. I told everyone to buy this and it's worth it 100%. I am amazed by this. It also does not dry out my skin like I expected it to." — Cameron Stussie "I don't know what sorcery this is, or what kind of magic is included, but I can tell you this has changed my skin. I am late 50s with oily skin. I have never taken care of my skin, but I bought this after reading a review and HOLY COW. This is the REAL DEAL." — cynthia williamson Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). 40. La Roche-Posay purifying foaming cleanser, perfect for normal to oily skin types because it removes excess oils and impurities while maintaining your skin's natural protective barrier and pH. Your face has met its perfect match. Promising review:"I have found the HOLY GRAIL of face wash for sensitive skin. This product cuts through a full face of makeup with just one pump and lather. Leaves my skin smooth and soft. I have had less acne since using this for a month or so. This entire bottle has lasted me for three months (one pump per day)." — Kat Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes). 41. A Laneige lip mask that nourishes and hydrates your lips overnight with its moisturizing berry fruit, shea butter, coconut oil, and murumuru seed formula. Your lips will look so supple, Angelina Jolie herself might get a little jealous. Sephora Promising review: " I have been dealing with dry, cracked, flaky lips for quite a few years now. I have tried so many different lip treatments, hoping for some relief. This has been THE GAME CHANGER! It is the best lip treatment, hands down. I noticed an improvement right away, but after a month or so of using this, my lips have been completely healed. It's amazing. I so wish I had found this sooner." — ladyweldon Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $24 (available in six flavors). 42. Acure Brightening Facial Scrub — it's a lil' different from competitors because this one actually keeps its grittiness. You can really *feel* it exfoliating your skin without being too harsh. With its sea kelp and French green clay formula, it'll leave your face as soft and smooth as velvet. Check out a TikToker using this scrub! Promising review: "It's a pleasant, gritty scrub that doesn't hurt my face with salt or anything that feels like sandpaper. It's moisturizing, exfoliating and lovely. I follow up with my skin oil, serums and moisturizer. My makeup goes on like butter. I'll buy this again." — JB30 Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 43. Joesoef's pharmaceutical-grade anti-acne sulfur soap that's definitely not your typical Dove soap bar. Those who deal with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and clogged pores swear by because it does an A+ job at clearing their skin and relieving tenderness. Amazon Check it out on TikTok! Joesoef Skin Care is a small business that specializes in anti-acne skincare products. Promising review:"I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." — Sandy G Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in multipacks). 44. A skin solution you can use literally anywhere you routinely remove hair, whether that be your 'pits or down there. 🤫 Use it right after shaving or waxing to get rid of bumps, ingrown hairs, and rashes. Promising review:"I was very surprised by how well this product works. I've been using it once a day every day for the past month and it really has made a difference. Exfoliating wasn't enough for my skin and I don't like to sit there pulling out my ingrown hairs. It smells like alcohol but I was very surprised by how it leaves my skin. It does not dry it out, leaves it moisturized and my ingrowns have been reducing." — Krystle Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 45. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion because it'll leave your skin smelling absolutely delightful and feeling smooth and silky. It's lightweight yet long-lasting so your skin stays hydrated all. day. long. BTW, if you're a fan of Philosophy's Warm Cashmere or Bath & Body Works' Vanilla Bean Noel line — but not the prices — this Eos lotion smells veryyy similar! The Eos Vanilla Cashmere scent contains fragrance notes of whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher is a huge fan: "The Eos Vanilla Cashmere lotion is one of those beauty products that I always buy two at a time because I can not live without it. I'm a gourmand girl, and this literally smells like a warm cupcake. The texture is really creamy, it absorbs into my skin easily, and I don't have to worry about grease marks transferring to my clothes." Promising reviews: " Almost identical to Philosophy's Warm Cashmere! Love it and layers well with your perfume." — Ayomidele "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in three other scents and multipacks). 46. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant that activates with water to release papain and salicylic acid to help reduce fine lines, fight acne, shrink pores, and brighten your complexion. The colloidal oatmeal in this formula calms skin and reduces the appearance of redness and irritation — um, YES, PLEASE. Sephora Promising review: "Visible results. Wow this is an excellent cleanser/exfoliator. I hadn't used a powder formula before, so wasn't sure what to expect. It's amazing! It really works to take all the impurities out of your skin yet leaves your face very soft and smooth. I've seen a visible improvement after using. 10/10." — bettK Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $19+ (available in three sizes and a refill pack).

34 Beauty Products That Not Only Understood The Assignment, But Aced It
1. A pore-clearing cleansing oil to magically eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate into a double cleansing routine! It's also hypoallergenic (since we already have *enough* trouble with allergy season) and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Check it out in this TikTok. Promising reviews:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser, and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2-3 minutes, I could visibly see my white/black heads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing as I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 2. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens — you'll see the difference almost immediately. They're minty fresh and help whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃 Promising review:"Exceptionally easy to use even for lazy people like me. I saw good gradual results despite only using once daily — very happy as I cannot tolerate trays and hate strips!" — belle rouge Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.36 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page to get this price; also available in a single pack and four pack). 3. A cult-fave Weleda Skin Food cream, which works as both a moisturizer and a makeup primer. Infused with chamomile, pansy, and rosemary, this'll have you prepped and primed for a full face of glam in no time. Amazon Promising review:"Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Body Cream exceeded my expectations and left my hands and arms feeling very well fed! My skin quickly absorbs the cream and feels so much smoother and softer. I've tried lots and lots of creams and lotions. This is one of the best." — Longtime Texan Get it from Amazon for $17.72 (also available as a three-pack). 4. A Revlon hot air brush that'll save you more than double the time it takes you to style your hair with a traditional blowdryer and round brush. This magical tool will give you soft, smooth waves with just a few passes! Promising review:"I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years and I couldn't be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blow outs! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" — ERJ Get it from Amazon for $33.49+ (available in seven styles). 5. Retinol body lotion to enhance your already beautiful skin. It's overflowing with powerful ingredients like vitamins A and E, ferulic acid, shea butter, and green tea to help diminish the look of deep wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, crepey skin, and even sun damage — all while giving your collagen production a *major* boost to help with firming. Promising review:"I have had light to moderate eczema my entire life. On top of that, I turn 60 next year. As a sun baby of Cali during my teens and twenties, I have a lot of sun-damaged skin, including crepe paper skin. I started using this product every morning on my arms and legs. After about six weeks, as long as I use it daily, it has DRAMATICALLY reduced (by 85%) the crepe paper skin. One of the big issues with eczema is your skin does not retain moisture, thus the constant itchy feeling. This product has 90% reduced [my eczema] and as time goes on, my skin is healing and getting much better at holding the moisture." — Bobby Ford Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in packs of two; also available in other styles). 6. A splurge-worthy Dae Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream, which is about to become your most used product for all your hairstyling needs. It'll help smooth your hair for a sleek, slick-back 'do, define your curls, *and* work some pre-blowout prepping magic to give your hair some extra ✨shine✨. And don't worry about getting that icky greasy feeling the next day — many reviewers say all they need is a spritz of dry shampoo, and they're ready to go! Check out a TikTok of the Dae styling cream in action. Dae is a small business that specializes in haircare and styling products. Promising review:"This is the second time I've bought this product. It might seem pricey, but honestly, it's not. I used it every day for my slicked-back ponytail, and it lasted me a long, long time. It smells amazing. It holds really well without making your hair feel crusty or greasy. It actually feels natural and soft." — Pedro ramos Get it from Amazon for $30 (also available as a set). 7. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp so that the nemesis of your makeup routine is no longer such a hard step. Say goodbye to wasting all your cotton balls (and all those extra minutes you could've used making your coffee) on failed attempts at a flawless eyeliner flick. This stamp will do it for you! One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. Promising review:"Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" — Elizabeth Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 8. A waterless dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without worrying about having to shake out the residue of your usual powder or spray dry shampoos. Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton Get it from Amazon for $9.62. 9. A popular exfoliant foot peel — you apply the two bootie-shaped masks on your feet for an hour, wash your feet, and then, over the next five to seven days, enjoy the disgustingly satisfying experience of watching all of your dead skin fall away to reveal baby-soft feet. Reviewers swear by this for calluses and rough, cracked skin! Promising review:"I'll be honest, it took myself four months to talk myself into using these after TikTok convinced me to buy them. The results were amazing and all of my dead skin is gone! On day six after a shower, I gave my feet a little extra scrubbing and they are softer than they have been after any $100 pedicure." — Asha Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents). 10. Mighty Patch's super popular pack of pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for picking at those pimples! Oh, and they have over 127,000 5-star ratings. (If you listen closely, you can hear my mind exploding.) Promising review:" These patches truly exceeded my expectations. They are affordable, easy to use, painless and effective. I use them primarily for cystic acne along my jawline and they are successfully drawing out most of the pimples after one to three nights. I press on the patch at the end of my evening skincare routine and wear it overnight (although the patches are so small and inconspicuous, I could comfortably wear them out in public during the day as well). The patch stays put on my face all night while I sleep and move around. When I remove the patch, it pulls off the head of the pimple without me ever having to touch the area or get the oils/dirt from my hands on the breakout. It does not hurt or tug at your skin at all. Really deep or large pi mples sometimes take a couple nights before they are completely 'drained.'

Very appealing scent ;)" — Claire "I never buy expensive beauty products for myself. This is the one exception. I got a little sample tub of it as a freebie, and I fell in love with it. It smells absolutely incredible, and the scent lasts for hours. Not only is it extremely moisturizing, but it's fast absorbing, which is perfect for someone like me who works with her hands all day. Plus, you don't have to use a ton of it at a time, so the tubs last a long time!

This product exceeded my expectations since it not only moisturized my hands but promoted healing. I am very satisfied with this product." — john koch "At first I wasn't sure I'd like this product because it is so greasy; I even heard it referred to as 'the new Vaseline.' My doctor recommended it for my cracking cuticles and fingers. I discovered that I was using too much, my mistake; I was applying it like regular hand lotion/cream. Once I learned a little goes a long way, I love it!! I keep the jar beside my bed and rub a small dab on my hands before turning off the light so it has all night to soak in. My hands are now crack-free and soft even though it is the middle of winter with extremely frigid weather." — Mooselady Get it from Amazon for $18.37. 14.

Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished.

I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 16. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence that works so effectively it's got some reviewers wondering what kind of witchcraft is in it.

It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 56,000 5-star ratings! Check it out in this TikTok. And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed! I've personally been using this for months now, and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying, "gimme gimme gimme!!" Promising review:"I've always been a fan of COSRX so I was expecting a good product but DANG this one exceeded expectations! I have very sensitive, dry skin with an occasionally oily t-zone. Absorbs SO well into the skin and calmed down my irritated, flared-up skin almost right away, within like two days. I get a lot of hormonal breakouts and this didn't aggravate them, if anything it helped! I'm noticing much fewer breakouts. Consistency is slimy at first, but once you massage it in it gives the softest hydrating feel to the skin. I'm on the snail slime skincare train now lol." — Toni Get it from Amazon for $18.13. 17. A Korean exfoliating mitt you can use in the bath or shower to achieve that ~buttery soft~ skin. It helps you gently lather off dead skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris. The best part? You can get specific about the exfoliation pressure since it's on your own hand! Promising review:"This by far exceeded my expectations and I had some high ones!! I used to use a towel to get dead skin off, but this was a whole other level. Within seconds of using it, SO MUCH dead skin came off — I was in shock!! I feel so clean, soft, and my skin looks so much brighter!! Make sure you soak in warm water before using for about 10-15 minutes! This was amazing I highly recommend!!" — Sarah Najib Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available individually or as a pair). 18.

Promising review:"I am in love with this ice roller. I knew I would like it and that it would help with my obnoxious puffy eyes, but I didn't realize how much I NEEDED it! It is now part of my self -care and skincare routine. It is so calming and soothing. I look forward to coming home so I can relax after a long day just running this over my face and eyes. It exceeded my expectations on helping with my puffy eyes. Excellent product!" — Leah C Matthews Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (clip the 15% off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in nine colors). 19.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say:"Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 100,000 positive reviews and now I will never look back!! It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time." Promising review: "Mascaras always make the same my short, straight lashes have never looked thicker or longer! And I don't have to bother with false lashes.

It blends beautifully, and it might just shock you with how much length and volume it can give, *without* the icky clumpiness! Check out a TikTok of the mascara in action. Promising review:"I am a mascara snob and have tried probably hundreds of different brands. Just as I find one that works, they change the formula. I had tried using two different mascaras at the same time. One to act as a primer and lengthen and one to build and add volume. THIS one does both and easily. The wand is great, and the formula doesn't flake or smudge even when you sweat. I have also fallen asleep in it and it was still great in the morning. It acts like a tubing type mascara so I washes off easily in the shower or with cleanser. My new favorite!!" — Konda Berry Get it from Amazon for $8.32 (available in seven colors). 22. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm, aka one of the new beauty products TikTok is particularly obsessing over — and for good reason.

No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" — Kristy Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in seven styles). 23. A bottle of Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, which is made with a super lightweight, non-greasy formula that doubles as a heat protectant and basically transforms your hair into silk, all while giving it waterproof powers.

I have used the scrub only twice and I have hardly needed to use lip balm which I used to apply essentially all day long." — Rockinpoodle13 Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and in multipacks). 26. And E.l.f.'s new sheer tint, hyaluronic acid-infused moisturizing "Squeeze Me" lip balm boosted with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and goji berry to give you an an ever so sheer tint and that perfect juicy pout. Just don't tell Laneige, she might get a little jealous. 👀 Plus, you could get all five for like, the same price as ONE from Laneige. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries." Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors). 27.

Just a few weeks ago my nails were brittle and peeling, I always had my nails done and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you're thinking about buying this… buy it!" — Jocelyn Nackley Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 28. A popular pack of Skin1004 pore tightening and lifting masks, which should basically be considered skin sorcery with the way it's surprised reviewers with its immediate results. These fast-acting masks are made with albumin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica extract to hydrate and lift your skin, tighten enlarged pores, clear small breakouts, and give you that "just came fresh from the spa" glow. To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!). But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin. Promising reviews:"Exceeded my expectations. I have dry skin and slightly larger pores, but I tried this mostly to help with texture. It does have a slight smell like everyone says, but it's honestly not unbearable and I don't even notice it after a couple of minutes. It starts to dry pretty fast and gets really tight, which makes a couple of parts of my face itch a bit. However, once I wash it off my skin is fine and as someone with rosacea, I'm still genuinely surprised that it doesn't cause my face to get red AT ALL. It has actually improved my skin texture and the pores on my cheeks and nose genuinely look less prominent." — April Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (also available in a two pack and three set pack). 29. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler to enhance that gorgeous pout of yours with its volumizing ~tingly~ formula.

Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action. Promising review: "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in three tints). 30. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges — your Beauty Blender might have just met its match. 👀 It gives you pro-level blending and works for foundation, BB cream, powder, *and* concealer (wet or dry!). Sheesh, this sponge makes me feel like a slacker. Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." — chris Get a set of five from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five color packs). 31.

I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this! Now it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.59+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two). 32. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer that has over 27,000 5-star reviews — and rightfully so! It's infused with squalane for hydration and has a velvety texture that glides easily over the skin for a poreless effect while providing the ultimate grip on your makeup. This might just have you looking like Barbie herself. Promising review:"Highly recommend. Learned about it as several influencers used it on TikTok. Tried it, and it's my favorite. Better than all the expensive brands I had tried before. Smooth application and does an excellent job! Excellent." — Binnyx1 Get it from Amazon for $10. 33. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment infused with collagen, ceramides, and protein extracts to help repair your hair if it is damaged, over-processed, or has just spent too much time with that flat iron.

It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I'm going to buy a lot more of this product. I've been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." — Eline Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.71. 34. A CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, which is infused with a peptide complex to support skin elasticity.

Promising review: " Exceeded expectations. Very happy with this! This is an amazing night cream and it's a really great value. Before this I tried Aveeno'a so-called "ultra calming" night cream, which actually made my face sting. This one doesn't irritate my sensitive skin nor does it make me break out. It feels kinda rich but absorbs really well and feels light once its absorbed. After using for a few weeks, it's made my skin smoother and less red." — bluebird55 Get it from Amazon for $16.47.

If You're Overwhelmed By All The Skincare Options Out There, Here Are 25 Top-Rated Options
1. A pore-clearing cleansing oil to magically eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate into a double cleansing routine! It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising reviews:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser, and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2-3 minutes, I could visibly see my white/black heads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing as I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 2. And a lightweight Cosrx mild gel cleanser, which works *perfectly* as the second step in a double cleansing routine! Its relatively low pH helps balance and protect your skin from acne-causing irritants without stripping it and making it feel bone-dry afterward. It's also enriched with tea tree oil and BHA to help keep your skin nice and smooth. All Cosrx products are dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Promising reviews:" Especially if you're looking for glass skin, you can definitely go for this product. I really loved it. Really comfortable to use regularly. It clears all the dirt off and makes my skin feel fresh and glowy. Really value for the money. Just go for it." — Dheeraj "After hours of exhaustive research on Korean gentle cleansers, I finally decided upon a cleanser. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my face! I have sensitive, combination, and very volatile skin, so if I ever make it unhappy, it definitely lets me know. This cleanser is light enough that it doesn't feel thick or cloying, it has a very subtle smell (which I love), and the ph of the cleanser is so low that the only thing I am worried about for my face anymore is the ph of the water I am splashing on my face. It hasn't caused any bad breakouts or negative reactions like drying or tightness of skin but it can certainly handle itself in the department of a full face cleanser. This has caused me to look forward to trying more Cosrx products!" — Haley Hart Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 3. A hydrating Cosrx snail mucin repairing essence because it'll soothe and rejuvenate your skin so effectively, it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 56,000 5-star ratings! And tell Gary not to worry!

I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after see how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying "gimme gimme gimme!!". Promising review:"OBSSESSED!! Purchasing for the rest of my life. If you haven't been using snail mucin literally what are you doing! game changer for keeping the skin hydrated! The proper way to use this is put on your toner and while your sin is still wet apply this over it and let it dry then go in with the rest of your routine. It's changed my skin so quickly and has made it really hydrated, brighter, and bouncy — definitely has been helping with my "glass skin" complex. Love love love it!" — calico Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 4. Mighty Patch's super popular pack of pimple patches to evict those pesky pimples that have no business invading your face. These are coated with hydrocolloid to protect and heal the blemish more effectively — you officially have no excuses for picking at those pimples! Oh, and they have over 127,000 5-star ratings. (If you listen closely, you can hear my mind exploding.) Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Ciera Velarde says:"I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these one right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and is practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!" Promising review:"I am a 40-something woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them and they work for her. I have very fair skin and she is much darker and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." — K. Dahl Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a 72-pack). 5. CeraVe Retinol Serum — if you're just starting to explore the world of retinoids, this is a great option to start with! This gentle yet effective serum uses *encapsulated* retinol to help reduce scars and pores without flaking or redness. Plus, many reviewers rave about how they like it better than more expensive alternatives! And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. Promising review:"I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." — C. Munsterman Get it from Amazon for $18.68. 6. Or a gentle LilyAna Naturals retinol cream that this reviewer (an esthetician of over 13 years) has deemed "The BEST hidden gem!!"

Promising review:"The older I get- the drier my skin seems to get. I read about this brand from a blog I follow. So I checked the reviews - and decided to try it. To say that I am blown away would be an understatement! I simply cannot express how pleased I am after literally just three uses. Normally, my skin is so dry that nothing seems to help, but this. THIS! It makes my skin feel great, and it even looks great! It's not greasy, but it moisturizes. The texture feels like whipped velvet!! It is so luxurious and feels amazing on my skin. My skin feels hydrated and normal. I feel like shouting from the rooftops how amazing this stuff is! The eye cream is just as good and a little goes a very long way. I am sold! This product is superior!!" — Shanon L. Edwards Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes). 7.

The lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily use under makeup or on its own. If you're looking for a reliable eye cream that delivers visible results, this product is a great choice for achieving a refreshed and rejuvenated look." — Chandan Get it from Amazon for $14.44. 9. And a pack of Grace and Stella under-eye masks — say hello to the next staple in your skincare routine. They're infused with retinol, which is known to help increase skin cell production and help with elasticity. If you're looking to help your under-eyes with dryness, puffiness, and dark circles, this will be your new best friend (especially during the colder months!). Promising review:"These are a must have for the morning. I've tried a million different brands and these are the best. They are thicker than most and best if you pop them in the freezer for a couple of minutes before applying. They definitely help with swelling and bags." — TR Get 48 pairs from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three styles and three pack sizes). 10. A bottle of widely popular Bio-Oil with vitamins A and E, chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to help fade scars and stretch marks while helping your skin retain moisture and achieve a more even tone. One reviewer even compares this stuff to sorcery. Promising reviews:"Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I used the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few-years-old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it's hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I've been using it morning and night." — Yasmin Rodriguez " It works magic. I've had three babies. After my second I had awful stretch marks because I didn't give my skin the care it deserved during my first two pregnancies. I'm not kidding; this was the best choice I've made. It completely made my stretch marks from my first two pregnancies almost completely unnoticeable. My skin looks so healthy. I highly recommend this product; it's a game-changer. I can't give this product the full credit for that, but I do believe it's helped! Lastly, I have wicked sensitive and very dry skin. This gentle product is AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.26. 11. A TikTok viral overnight collagen mask, which has taken over my entire FYP for weeks — and now I see why! Give your skin a big ole' drink of water with this probiotic-packed mask, which starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask, and as the hours go by, it gradually turns clear, signaling that it's working its magic on your skin. It'll not only strengthen your skin's barrier and improve elasticity, but it'll also refine the appearance of large pores and help smooth out fine lines. Many reviewers also say it's surprisingly comfortable to sleep in! Check out a TikTok of this mask in action. Promising review: "Oh…my god….🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight , woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? Put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like a had fillers. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks. <3" — Kichi Get a four-pack from Amazon for $14.25+ (also available in a 16-count). 12. A popular pack of Skin1004 pore tightening and lifting masks that has surprised reviewers with its immediate results. These fast-acting masks are made with albumin, aloe vera, and centella asiatica extract to hydrate and lift your skin, tighten enlarged pores, clear small breakouts, and give you that "just came fresh from the spa" glow. To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!). But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin. Promising reviews:"After years of trying different products on my sensitive, acne-prone, red, rough skin, I saw this mask and all of the positive reviews and thought 'what the hell, I'll give it a go.' Even after the first application, I was really impressed with the results. My rough skin is smoother, I have no additional breakouts and when I do wear makeup it actually blends into my skin. It also helps the deep wrinkles on my neck. I even got a compliment on my skin the other day — this NEVER happens. I use the mask twice per week. I'm on month two and I recommend it to anyone with problem skin. My only caution is that is smells kind of funky (who cares) and it's a little hard to remove. I only apply the mask when I'm going to shower and wash my hair. It's zombie life for me here on out!" — Charlie B Get it from Amazon for $18.50 (also available in a two-pack and in a variety three-pack). 13. A vegan and cruelty-free lip scrub because your lips need some lovin' too! This nourishing lil' tub uses the combined powers of coconut, sugar, avocado oil, and jojoba oil to nourish and soften your lips while exfoliating dead skin and reinforcing your skin's barrier. Get ready to achieve the luscious pout of your dreams. 😍 Promising review:"This was my first time using a lip scrub. The results were phenomenal. My lips have always been dry and gray-ish in appearance because of eczema. I rubbed the product into my skin for about three minutes and then rinsed it off with warm water. The results were lips that were soft, smooth and pink. I really wish that I had taken before and after pictures. Really pleased with the results. Adding this lip scrub to my skin care regimen." — Stella Bellafontay Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and in multipacks). 14. And a cult-fave Laneige lip mask with vitamin C, coconut oil, shea butter, and antioxidants, it nourishes and protects your lips while giving them a supple, glossy finish. It's truly a splurge-worthy staple you'll probably love as much as the reviewer who called it "absolute magic." BTW, some people use it as a daily lip balm or lip protectant over their lipstick too! Laneige is an Asian-owned brand that has been in the beauty game for years. (Seriously, since the 90s!) The luxury brand prides itself on being affordable too, and has many fan favorite products because of it. Promising reviews: " I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger on this for the coat, but when you have seasonally dry lip irritation you can't escape, you get desperate. I finally decided to splurge, glad I did! A little goes a long way so should last a good while, and never had a quicker turnaround on fixing dry lips. My kids are now asking for it, definitely worth the splurge." — Michelle Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six scents). 15. A Seoul Ceuticals Snail Repair Cream because it's got organic green tea and vitamins that brighten dull skin and help fade discoloration.

(So no need to worry about clogged pores!) Promising review: "When I apply this product to my skin, it feels different from a regular moisturizer—almost like a refreshing burst of vitamins. It has a refreshing, cool sensation that lifts my mood. Even with just a small amount, the cream's moisture seems to absorb well into my skin." — Orion Park Get it from Amazon for $20. 16. A Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant, which has salicylic acid that penetrates your pores to help catch breakout before they reach the surface. And bonus! Its green tea leaf extract quickly calms redness and soothes skin sensitivity. Promising review: "I have seriously annoying skin. I have bad sunspots, freckles, redness, you name it. I hate the sun and my skin does, too. I even had some lovely melasma 'stache going. I've been using this stuff every couple of nights and also derma-planing and my skin looks so much better! Even my coworkers have noticed! It's super gentle, too, so it's really easy to use." — Kristina Escobedo Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). 17. EOS Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion so silky, it might just give more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. It provides lightweight, long-lasting moisture *and* its delicious scent has notes of whipped vanilla and caramel. No wonder TikTok is going *feral* over this. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo "Better than TikTok said! OMRyan Gosling, this is an amazing lotion!!! Run, don't walk, and buy this lotion! The name is vanilla cashmere and that is exactly what this is! Love love love!" — DeeDra Billings Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 18. Or a Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream that has such a heavenly scent, it might just make you ditch your perfume altogether. Enriched with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil, this miraculous little jar of cream will help tighten *and* smooth your skin like nobody's business. Check in out in this TikTok. Promising reviews: 'This smells super amazing! Not usually one to splurge on a little canister for a somewhat expensive price, but this is worth it! Will be buying big canister next time! Very appealing scent ;)" — Claire "I never buy expensive beauty products for myself. This is the one exception. I got a little sample tub of it as a freebie, and I fell in love with it. It smells absolutely incredible, and the scent lasts for hours. Not only is it extremely moisturizing, but it's fast absorbing, which is perfect for someone like me who works with her hands all day. Plus, you don't have to use a ton of it at a time, so the tubs last a long time! This stuff is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and I couldn't recommend it more!" — Starr Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes). 19. A deeply hydrating and plumping Laboratoires Embryolisse daily moisturizer — truly a magical, multi-purpose cream in a bottle. It's enriched with soybeans and aloe vera to soothe and moisturize, as well as beeswax and shea butter that protect and nourish the skin. Plus, reviewers rave about how smooth of a canvas it provides as a makeup primer! See it in action in this TikTok. Promising review: "My glass skin secret! This face cream has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. It's lightweight yet incredibly hydrating, making it perfect for all skin types. As a makeup primer, it creates a smooth canvas for foundation application and helps in extending its wear time. Makes my skin look like glass, supple, and super youthful. I can't recommend it enough and can't live without!" — Yahaira Perez Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in two sizes). 20. An affordable prescription-strength Differin retinoid gel, aka the strongest thing you can purchase without a prescription. This miraculous (yet affordable) gel helps reveal a new skin layer and dives deep into your pores to clear breakouts before they can out." Say sayonara to those painful zits. 👋 Promising reviews:"Look I don't know what kind of magical potion is in this little bottle but I've used it approximately four times in the past week and my skin is GLOWING. My pores are suddenly nonexistent and my blackheads have shrunk. This stuff is amazing. Also it's really moisturizing and not as irritating as other retinoids I have used in the past. The bottle is smaller than I was expecting but it is worth every penny. Great stuff. 11/10." — Demi "This stuff actually works. I work in a spa and I've tried dozens of different products that cost five times the price to try to clear up my acn- prone skin and NOTHING has worked as well as Differin gel. One of my esthetician coworkers recommended it to me and dang if she wasn't right. It will dry out your skin pretty badly so make sure you have and use a good moisturizer but my skin cleared up in less than two weeks and I'm still amazed." — Rin Wisell Get it from Amazon for $13.10+ (available in four sizes). 21. An alcohol-free Thayers facial toner with a witch hazel and aloe vera formula that might just make your skin texture squeal with joy. This unique formula works to reduce the look of pores, balance oily skin, and maintain the skin's moisture barrier. It's seriously like giving your skin a tall glass of water. Amazon Promising review:"I've been hearing the rave about this skincare product so decided to try it out since the price is low. This is a great all-natural toner without alcohol and harsh ingredients. Very gentle on my sensitive and acne-prone skin. I use this everyday as a final cleansing step to remove any dirt or makeup left, and add some fast-acting hydration before night cream. I can immediately feel my skin moisturized and soft after patting this generously on my face. This worked like magic! Immediately calmed down my skin and restored skin balance. The fragrance is a bit too much but it brings a nice smell." — Colin L. Zollars Get it from Amazon for $8.16+ (available in six scents). 22. Or a bottle of I'm From goami rice toner that reviewers with dry skin say is hydration in a bottle. Its vegetable-originated extracts will leave your skin looking supple, smooth, and glowy without any heavy or sticky residue. This toner is vegan and cruelty-free. Promising review: "I love this toner! I've finished the whole bottle. It's light and moisturizing. I can definitely tell the difference, my skin is smoother and plump. I love it cause I have both oily and dry skin and it makes my skin normal again! Best of all it doesn't burn or irritate my skin, if anything it calms it down. Will definitely be buying again." — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes). 23. A radiance-boosting vitamin C serum, which many reviewers over 50 have raved about for giving them a smoother and happier complexion after just a few days of use. This multitasking serum is infused with ferulic acid to increase plumpness as well as vitamin E to help smooth the appearance of fine lines. Basically, it's the ultimate glow-up your skin deserves. 24. Cult-fave, multi-talented Mario Badescu Facial Spray — the perfect "pick-me-up" in a bottle. Spray it on your face to help rejuvenate and clarify your skin, refresh your makeup, or if you just need a little spritz of rosy mist. You can even use it on your hair for some quick moisture (with a delightful scent!). mariobadescu / Via Promising review:"I enjoy the refreshing, cooling sensation this gives when sprayed on the face; it gives a boost of hydration before my moisturizer, and also works well as a setting spray. But the best benefit I've gotten is from spraying it in my hair! My limp, thin, baby-fine hair has never looked better or felt stronger." — Laura B Check out this BuzzFeeder's Mario Badescu Facial Spray deep dive for more info! Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in five sizes and in packs of two). 25.

This genius mix of primer, moisturizer, *and* sunscreen is all the prep you'll need (whether you're going for a cute makeup look or it's a bare-faced kind of day!) Amazon, Promising review:"I've gone through several sunscreens to wear with make-up and this has been the best for me. I'm a simple girl. I apply this with vitamin C cream, let it absorb then apply my It Cosmetics CC cream. It acts like a primer for me, and my CC glides nicely over it, no pilling, no heavy or cakey feeling. It's def lightweight but provides great protection." — Emily Haynes

These 49 Products Deliver *Such* Satisfying Results, You'll Wanna See Them In Action For Yourself
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · I don't know about you, but an itch in my brain has just been scratched after seeing the results from this anti-dandruff shampoo. 1. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 2. The Pink Stuff, aka the Swiss Army knife of cleaning products because it can do it all. You can literally scrub your house from top to bottom with this jar of miracle paste and make everything ✨ sparkle ✨ once again. You got dirty grout? Gone. Grease? Good riddance. The caked-on gunk at the bottom of your cast-iron pan that seems impossible to get rid of? Buh-bye!!! Promising reviews:"I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don't even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." — Hailey Peters " This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CLR wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 3. A nail renewal formula so you can treat that poor, discolored toe that you stubbed on the side of your bed (but obviously it was the bed's fault, duh, not yours). You'll start to see reduced discoloration and improved texture in as little as two days — don't believe me? Then trust these reviewers! This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve their appearance, *and* reduce discoloration and thickness, leaving you with some dramatic results. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $13.33+ (also available with a nail file). 4. A wire-free bra with a drawstring in the middle that'll give your boobs a push and allow you to adjust the tightness. Can a regular push-up bra do that? I think NOT. Promising review: "I usually go to Victoria's Secret for their bombshell bra, pay way too much, and deal with being uncomfortable from having to layer a sports bra over it to keep my boobs in place. But I am a huge fan of this bra. The fit is great, comfy wide band and adjustable. I can wear it every day all day, and I will forget it's there every time because of how soft it is. I don't have to keep fluffing it up." — Shadow witch Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 32A–40C and 10 colors). 5. Tonymoly's octopus-shaped scrub stick to help remove whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips. Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" — Diane Delfino Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 6. A stain and odor eliminator because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of saying, "Bad dog!" you'll be shouting, "Amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that — gone. Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I'm potty training a puppy and it's not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I'm writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I'm buying more the second I'm done with this review. I love it." — lexi Get it from Amazon for $19.31. 7. An earwax removal kit so next time someone whispers in your ear, you won't have to scream "HUH???" This will soften and loosen earwax for easy cleaning so you'll be able to hear everything loud and clear. Check out the customer review pics to see serious *chunks* removed from their ears! Promising review:"My right ear has been plugged up for months. I squirted warm water in there, peroxide, tried various ear scraper tools, then just gave up. A month or so later, I saw this product at a local CVS, and gave it a try. Laid on couch with several drops in my ear for a half hour. I could hear weird fizzing noises. Then I flushed warm water in my ear with the included soft bulb syringe, and out came the culprit. Had to have been deep in there." — fixitforgood Get it from Amazon for $8.12. 8. A stainless-steel skin spatula that scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! Promising review:"I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 9. And a stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue. It'll remove that weird taste from your mouth and odor-causing bacteria, so the next time someone offers you a stick of gum, you'll know it's NOT because you have bad breath. is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. Promising review:"I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn't see much results, so I didn't stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which is a good thing in this case;-). An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" — Lyra18 Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in multipacks). 10. An impressive peanut butter knife that had to have been designed by a genius. It'll get out all the PB from the sides, bottom, and crevices so you can enjoy every. last. drop. #PBloversunite! Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items when grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* " Here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES after scraping the bottom of a big ol' peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously, if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife. "*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." — CW Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 11. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes thanks to its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part: The formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it gives the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5, AND it has over 248,000 5-star ratings! Promising review:"I rarely post reviews. To actually type out something positive or negative just isn't my thing unless something is epic. Well, this product is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! My 12-year-old daughter asked me for this because all of her friends were using it. For $5, I thought, I'll try one for myself because the reviews were great. I mean WOWZER! I waited until I had worn it all day through a workday. I put this mascara on over 12 hours ago. It glided on so easy and smooth, like none of the mascaras I've ever used, and boom! Thick and volume lashes with no clumps. I don't look like spider legs are growing either. I will say that it's flaked a bit this afternoon, but seriously, it hit the 12-hour mark with no problems whatsoever." — Ryan Davis Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors). And check out our full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review for more details. 12. A carpet cleaner that'll remove everything from fabric surfaces, whether that be your tiny oopsies or your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. Promising review:"It's a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it's like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I've become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." — L. Logan Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and various packs). 13. And a bottle of Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle because your kids and pets have been dragging dirt inside your home for way too long, and it's finally time to clean it. This formula will tackle any messes and spills, leaving your carpet as good as new. This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners. Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in biodegradable cleaning products. Promising review: "Worth every penny. I've bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I'd give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I'll never use another cleaner." — Wendy Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents). 14. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens that can help remove years of staining and only take 30 seconds to apply! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers. Promising review:"I have bought so many products to whiten my teeth, and none worked as well nor were as reasonably priced as this pen. Two days into using this pen twice a day, I could see a significant difference. This took out stains from coffee, tea, and wine and even removed the discoloration from previously smoking. I wish I found this product sooner! One thing I noticed was that this doesn't cause any teeth sensitivity. I am super impressed and will continue to use this for years to come." — Alicia Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 15. An overnight tank cleaner because honestly, when's the last time you thought to clean the back of your toilet? I'm guessing it's been a *while* (or never), so you probably don't know what's festering in there. Just toss some of this powder into the tank, and it'll clean it for you. Promising review:"According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo [above] you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." — Nicole Get it from Amazon for $7.07 (also available in a multipack). 16. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it with vinegar and water, heat it up, and wipe down the inside once all the steam runs out (which takes around seven minutes). There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama! Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). 17. A brush kit that you attach to a drill. A DRILL. If you don't want to scrub the heck out of your mildew-infested tub (aka an unwarranted workout sesh), just attach it to the head and let the tool do it for ya — all you need to do is move it around! Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying! The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon! Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla. It specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." — Jason B. Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles). 18. A Korean exfoliating mitt to buff all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok! Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a pair). 19. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 137,000 5-star reviews (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it "the best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out! Promising review:" If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three styles). 20. A descaling solution so you can finally rid your coffee machine or espresso maker of limescale and mineral buildup without scrubbing. It'll extend the life of your machine *and* make your cup o' joe taste better. Promising review:"I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." — Lenore Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 21. Or a set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to cleanse your machine of old coffee grinds and residue. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run. It can help extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh! Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95. 22. A jar of super moisturizing O'Keeffe's hand cream that may be the savior for your extremely dry, cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer (unscented and non-greasy!) that will actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour. For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime. Promising review:"I didn't think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn't disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it'll last a while! We'll most certainly be repeat customers!" — HSmomma Get it from Amazon for $9.09 (also available in a pack of two or 12). 23. A bestselling pack of Mighty Patches to tackle pesky pimples head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus, they help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them (so they can actually heal faster)! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more! Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." — nekojita Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 24. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches because the grime and excess oil in your nose are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98. 25. A medicated dog shampoo that could help your poor doggo who's been dealing with dry, flaky, and oily skin. Plus, it can give them a healthier-looking coat! Happy dog = happy you. It's paraben-, dye-, and soap-free! Promising review:"Naturally, because of the ingredients, it has a strong smell. However, it does seem to leave my dog's skin feeling dry and provides good relief for her poor itchy skin. My dog Molly is a 9-pound mini dachshund whose little chest makes contact with the grass all the time so her skin gets itchy and irritated. I've been bathing her regularly with this shampoo and it is giving her some relief. No more greasy, flaky skin. Her skin and fur is now dry and soft." — Climbyourarms Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes). 26. A cooktop cleaning kit to take you one step closer to having the kitchen you've always dreamed about. Now you can chef it up all day long without having to worry about a messed-up stove! The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new." — Christi Get it from Amazon for $11.48. 27. Or a gas range cleaning spray that'll make cleaning your stovetop easy-peasy, no-more- grease -y. All you have to do is spray and wipe to make your stove look good as new! Promising review: "This stuff really works on grease! I was skeptical about purchasing this product because nothing seemed to clean my greasy stovetop. A friend recommended that I try this brand and when I saw the chance to get a two-pack, I thought it would be a value. Once I used this for the first time, I am never going back to wiping down my stovetop the same way again." — Kindle Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98. 28. A popular anti-dandruff shampoo to help get rid of those stubborn flakes that refuse to leave your scalp. The antifungal formula helps eliminate the very *source* of dandruff (begone 🤺) so you won't have to deal with the flaking and itching anymore! Promising review:"This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad, I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." — Moo Moo Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 29. Base Labs keloid minimizer that helps reduce and heal those pesky lil' (or, in some cases, big) bumps that decided to grow in with your new piercing. Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this two to three times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results. 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 forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this 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 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!" — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks). 30. A deshedding glove so you can groom your fuzzy BFF without them fussing, because they'll probably enjoy it! BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing: " The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. "We got Rockie when he was 5, and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 31. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, a body scrub for exfoliating dry and rough bumps, especially those caused by keratosis pilaris (aka "strawberry" or "chicken" skin). It also helps decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for all types of skin! Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once in a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in four sizes). 32. A bestselling (and surprisingly inexpensive) argan oil hair mask because your locks deserve to look shinier and feel healthier. It'll revive and strengthen your weak, damaged hair — a "miracle in a jar," according to a reviewer who saw incredible results after just one use! Reviewers with hair ranging from 2a all the way to 4c love this product! Promising review:"My hair is very thin and curly. The ends are damaged from heat and color, causing my hair to look even more unruly. I do oil treatments once a week and only wash my hair two to three times a week, but NOTHING has made my hair feel like this product does. There is an immediate difference as soon as this product touches my hair. It leaves my hair feeling so silky, even after I rinse it out and dry my hair." — Melissa Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 33. A jewelry cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics ~shine bright like a diamond~. Save yourself a trip to the cleaner, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen and brush the solution on. Lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new! Promising review:"This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" — KFray Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in multipacks). 34. Some arnica bruise cream if you're clumsy by nature (guilty!) and get bruises ALL the time, even in your sleep. This will calm bumps, swelling, and discoloration, so you'll be grateful to have it around the next time you take a trip to the pantry (and inevitably bump into the corner). Promising review:"I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (it doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stuntman told me I should use arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" — J. Yount Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 35. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo to thoroughly remove all concealer, foundation, highlighter, or blush from your brushes instead of just running them through water. It washes out makeup fast without using any harsh chemicals — perfect if you have sensitive skin. Use it with a silicone brush-cleaning mat for the ultimate cleanse! This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" — Ryan Brooks Get it from Amazon for $6.96. 36. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act! 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:"I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 37. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes because as much as you want to be a plant parent, your green kiddos are struggling — even though you *swear* you're feeding and watering them enough. I don't know what kind of sorcery was put into these tiny spikes, but what I *do* know is that they can revive the saddest, limpest plants, hence the name ~Miracle-Gro~. Stick these into the soil, and they'll fertilize it for up to two months! Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. Promising review:"I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." — victoria Get a two-pack of 48 spikes from Amazon for $13.99, and get a version for orchids here. 38. An ink remover if your kid (or you) stained your fave shirt that you thought was done for. Just rub this formula into the ruined area and let it sit for up to 12 hours. Then you can just toss it into the washing machine with all your other laundry! Plus, this bad boy also works wonders for blood, wine, grass, and other stains. For permanent marker specifically, reviewers say it does take some time and scrubbing, but they were able to get most if not all of the stain out with persistence! Promising review:"Imagine large blobs of permanent blue Sharpie on a white football uniform. Now imagine that the ink had sat on the garment for over a week before the uniform was washed and dried by a mom completely unaware of the ink blobs. This product took out 95%+ of the ink and was easy to use. Now said kiddo does not look like the only one with a spotted jersey. A+ result." — Baby B's Mom Get it from Amazon for $11.38+ (available in three sizes and multipacks). 39. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment because your windshield wipers do absolutely nothing when it starts to torrentially downpour. This'll repel rain, sleet, and snow from your windows so you can actually see while you drive. Stay safe out there! Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging! Promising review:"I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." — Alison J. Gong Get two bottles from Amazon for $9.99. 40. A value-size bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll be your savior if you've noticed your hair thinning. The keratin, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and — of course — biotin formula helps nourish your scalp so your locks can grow in thicker than ever. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in skincare and haircare made from naturally derived ingredients. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not crazy about the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it in a value size from Amazon for $32.95 (also available in smaller sizes). 41. A fabric defuzzer because those darn pills *ugh* refuse to come off of your clothes no matter how many times you go over them with a lint roller. This nifty thing will safely remove all the fuzz, lint, and pills so you can wear your fave sweater out again. Promising review:"TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." — Ruth Get it from Amazon for $12.60+ (available in six colors and two styles: battery-powered or rechargeable). 42. A two-pack of kojic acid dark spot remover soap that helps restore moisture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and leaves your skin glowing. Its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric formula can be applied anywhere on your body — including your bikini area! Promising review:"My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We're delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." — Bathusi Lobaka Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a set of three, four, or five). 43. A foot file to scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin. Promising reviews:"Okay, so I'm still in shock how well this worked and gave me soft beautiful heels again! I've had dry, cracked 'teeth' on my heels since eight years ago from being a server at two restaurants…and I'm like WHY DIDN'T I discover this sooner?! It had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to wear sandals in public because they just looked so gross. Then one day I realized that I should probably try SOMETHING because they were getting so bad that the 'teeth' would scratch my leg at night when my foot swiped my leg and it hurt haha so I saw this Rikans file for $10 and after some research decided to give it a shot. I honestly think thought it would take at least 10 sessions before I'd see any improvement but NO! This tool just grated my teeth away in ONE session." — benjamin kim Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 44. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel so you can soften the hard skin to easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice stone or rasp to scrub away. 🧽 Promising review:"This has been a lifesaver. I bought this and a pedicure kit. Had I known how well this would work I would have just purchased this. I had no idea this existed. I have been living in pain for years due to a callus on my foot that comes and goes after a lit of work. This stuff melts the skin away. I am amazed and wish I found it sooner." — Samantha Sims Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 45. AND! A Dermora foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the mask on for about an hour, and within 6–11 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right? Promising review: "My feet were definitely in need of some attention. I didn't have high expectations, but was super impressed by the results. It was a weird process as my skin began to peel off over a two week span of time. It was definitely hard to keep from using lotion as it worked its magic because my feet were itchy, but it was worth the discomfort in the end. My feet are baby soft! I will not hesitate to purchase this again when my feet need some love." — Kimi Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight scents and two sizes). 46. A pack of FryAway Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder for disposing of grease without the fear of burning yourself or clogging your pipes. Just sprinkle and stir the powder into hot oil and watch it coagulate, then safely dump it in the trash. FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy! Promising review:"Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." — Ryan O. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes). 47. A pet hair scraper to help rid your home of hair that your fuzzy friend leaves everywhere. Just run it over any fabric surface to get the most satisfying fur removal ever! Promising review:"My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time; the tool is small), my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum, and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find, and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 48. Easy-to-use retainer cleaner tablets if you've sniffed your retainers lately and been like "woof." 😳 Just drop a tablet into a cup of water and let the retainer soak for about 15 minutes to remove all odor-causing bacteria and stains. Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." — Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81. 49. A pumice stone to scrub off the scum that's chilling in your toilet bowl — the stuff that, no matter how hard you scrub with bleach, never comes off. This scouring stick removes mineral deposits, limescale, rust, and other stains in a matter of minutes *without* damaging your porcelain. These pumice stones can also be used to clean other surfaces, like ceramic tile, concrete, and porcelain, around your home! Promising review:"I can't even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed by the toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can't even drink it, so it stains everything it touches. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend it to anyone I know!" — MorganeC. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.30.
