If You Hate Getting Ripped Off, Check Out These 39 Things That Reviewers Swear By

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 · Thousands of reviewers insist that these stellar products are worth every penny. 1. Peach Slices nose pore patches offering an overnight solution to blackheads, clogged pores, and oily skin. Just wash your face, exfoliate, and pop one on before bed. The hydrocolloid bandage will soak up gunk from your pores without drying your skin. 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. 2. A Pink Princess philodendron, a once-rare and still-extremely-coveted variegation in the houseplant community. What was once an impossible find is now yours — somehow for under $30. These lil' princesses like warm, humid rooms in bright, indirect sunlight. Water regularly to keep soil moist and remember to spritz its leaves! Promising review: " BEAUTIFUL Pink Princess. Wow! Is all I can say about this plant. The leaves were beautifully variegated with pink and green. The roots were super healthy. I would buy this again and again. I can't recommend Costa Farms enough to buy this plant from. These plants aren't cheap if you buy them online, either. It was SO worth it." — Tara H. Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 3. A set of extra soft cooling "hotel" bedsheets with so many 5-star reviews (almost 250,000!), you'd think they were capable of permanently curing insomnia. No promises, but some people are saying they never want to get out of bed. Promising reviews:"I never write reviews, but I am the snob of all snobs when it comes to soft sheets, and these make me not want to get out of bed. Nine months pregnant and with complete insomnia, but these sheets make me not want to get out of bed ever. I just can't believe the prize. Seems like good quality. I'm in bed heaven!" — Samantha "Feel like expensive high-end hotel sheets. I normally use flannel sheets year-round because it's the only material I like but these are my new favorite. Very soft and cooling. Fit our bed perfectly. I purchased both for our bed and our spare room and have only gotten compliments from guests. Great sheets without the huge sticker price." — Anna Get them from Amazon for $37.97+ (available in 15 sizes and 40 colors). 4. And a set of wildly popular"hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. Plus, they're breathable and cooling, so you won't overheat while wrapped in all those blankets. Promising reviews:"These had great reviews, but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." — Marissa Urey Get a set of two from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in three sizes). 5. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's " Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5 Get it from Amazon for $7+ (also available in five other shades). 6. Also from E.l.f., their Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. No one likes having to scrub their eyes raw trying to get off waterproof makeup. :( Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this mascara and says: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 7. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll prevent both under- *and* over-watering, which I believe are the top two killers of plants. When you water your houseplants, the crystals retain the moisture and release it as the soil dries. Amazon, This works for both indoor and outdoor plants. Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." — Pattijwr Get it from Amazon for $11.42. 8. A pair of deodorizing pouches hungry for all your worst smells. Stuff the pair in your shoes, throw 'em in a gym bag, or hang them in the closet and let them gobble up any hint of odor. Amazon Promising review:"I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes! So I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. Mini Moso was the answer. I honestly couldn't believe it. A few days after placing them in my prized-off shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that's pushing things, but I've got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!" — Erin Get a pair from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger pack sizes). 9. Topicals High Roller, a roll-on tonic to soothe irritated skin after a rough altercation with a razor. Just use the serum like a deodorant stick to tackle ingrown hairs and bumps on your face, armpits, and bikini area. Amazon, Salicylic acid tackles razor bumps, glycolic acid exfoliates and works to smooth skin, and zinc soothes to help reduce the appearance of skin irritation. Topicals is a WOC-founded small business started by Claudia Teng and Olamide Olowe. Promising review: "I am blown away! I've used this product for a couple days now on both my legs and bikini area, and it has eliminated any red bumps and drastically reduced my sensitivity. It's so easy to use — just roll it on! I also rub it in a bit with my hands just to cover a little more. I have noticed that even rubbing my legs against the grain isn't as painful as it used to be. I will absolutely continue to use and recommend this product to everyone!!" — MelissaKW82 Get it from Amazon for $26. 10. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and feel too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. Amazon, Promising review:"For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." — MER Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack). 11. Dr. Scholl's self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint to treat your tired, achey feet before you put them back to work. The length of Target's toy aisle isn't going to walk itself! Read more about how epsom salts can help with muscle pain at Cleveland Clinic. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has this to say about them:"I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 12. A pack of carborundum sponges — YES, the stuff they make bulletproof vest plates out of — because tough jobs require tough solutions. Just dip one of these in water and start scouring — the nano-particles will get to work scraping off stubborn stains in your kitchen, garage, or outdoors. The high-density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies. Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." — Hoarder Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in two sponge thicknesses). 13. An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners. While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual. Promising reviews: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer "I wish I had taken a photo of my results, but I was so excited that I forgot. Anyone who says it doesn't work just isn't doing it right. Super even color. Not orange. I LOVE IT. 10/5 stars!" — Meg Get it from Amazon for $6.74+ (available in 10 styles). 14. An 18k gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical! Promising review: " When I initially bought it, I was nervous that the brass color wasn't going to match with my coach bag, but once it arrived, it was perfect; it looks almost like the real one and doesn't feel cheap at all, I'm very happy with my purchase, and I'd 100% recommend this to someone looking for an alternative to the Coach cherry charm!" — Veronica G. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 15. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash offering an affordable solution to your dependence on that beloved (but pricey) fragrance. Thanks to the notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber, shower time has never smelled better. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves this body lotion: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying, and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising reviews:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II "Perfection!!! Seriously PERFECTION!!! I just jumped in the shower as soon as I got it. Let me just add it to subscription." — Quiihw25 Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other scents). 16. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable, they're also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles). 17. A Kerasal fungal nail renewal formula to revitalize your tootsies by thickening nails and reducing discoloration. Feel free to plan to wear open-toed shoes next week — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days. To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switch to applying once per day at night. 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. Even below the quick. 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 $19.51 (also available with nail file). 18. A retro mushroom table lamp previously only seen in your wildest Architectural Digest dreams. Guests will ask you if you scored it at an auction; we'll let you decide how honest you wanna be (JK). Promising review: "I was so excited to turn this lamp on that I placed it on my couch instead of making room on my shelves. The lightweight lamp is funky, and the fun pop of orange adds character to my living room. It's always a cozy night in with this lamp. A great find to start your lamp collection or add to your existing one." — dana Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in four colors). 19. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. 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 $12.99. 20. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors that will make quick work of peach fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. They're designed with micro-guards, which means you don't have to worry about nicking yourself, even if you don't have the steadiest hand. Now, you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. Amazon This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it! Promising review:"These products have been a fantastic find for me. They're exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin, easy to handle, and they hardly leave any marks. Whenever I forget a touch-up on my eyebrows before heading to work, I always have them in my emergency bag, ready for a quick fix. They work effortlessly without needing additional oils or creams. It's truly the perfect solution for busy individuals on the go." — nikita khandheria Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.99. 21. Ohora semi-cured nail strips offering a professional-looking manicure, even if your past at-home attempts yielded less-than-stellar results. Apply them like stickers, seal them under a UV lamp, and you're done! These waterproof strips will look and feel like a gel manicure and last up to two weeks. Their unique shape means hair *won't* catch on the edges for at least a week of wear — unlike other brands. 😒 😒 😒 Promising review: "Love these nails! The picture is them after a week (still going strong)! I put them on for my honeymoon. I've been in the ocean for hours, and they are not showing any wear. They took maybe 15 minutes to apply — I did use a gel top coat and I think that helped keep them from chipping this long. Will be buying more!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $13.50 (available in 16 colors). 22. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically any surface — it works on everything from marble and wood to rubber boots and car steering wheels. Wasting time scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see. Promising review:"Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We've since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We'll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." — Nancy F. Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 23. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel in case you've always wanted to not only drink the energizing tea, but also wear it. This cult-fave can help quickly minimize eye puffiness and swelling using its combination of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Finally, your eyes can look and feel as refreshed as you do after a bottle of White Label. Good Molecules is a small business that sells fun beauty products. 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. 24. And a Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. Bonus: They just released two new shades, so people with darker complexions can finally try it! Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 25. A bead-filled weighted eye mask that offers gentle pressure while blocking light. It's helped over 4,000 happy reviewers get decent shut-eye. The lack of strap makes this perfect for side sleepers. And it's machine washable! Nodpod is a small business that sells sleep aid products. Promising review:"This eye mask is so soft, perfectly weighted, and works great at keeping the sunlight out. As a side sleeper, this works perfectly. Love the color." — Ali Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in six colors). 26. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a perfect first step in your double cleansing routine. It dissolves makeup, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin. Gross but intriguing: Reviewers say that they could actually see the gunk leaving their skin. The heartleaf extract soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand recommends you follow this up with a foaming cleanser! 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 two to three 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. 27. An antibacterial cat and dog toothpaste that freshens breath and removes plaque. I know, I know — brushing a pet's teeth is a drag, but can you imagine not brushing your teeth for a week, let alone for your whole life? Fido is counting on you to keep their chompers shiny. It uses an enzyme system to break down plaque and leave your dog's breath smelling almost tolerable. Promising review:"I write this for Pabu, a shih tzu. The vanilla mint flavor disappeared for a long time and Pabu would refuse all other flavors. This arrived yesterday and he went right for the first link. Happy breath and dental care again. Woo-hoo!" — Mikah Get it from Amazon for $11.52 (available in three flavors). 28. A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream with beeswax and glycerin to give you the baby soft hands you haven't seen since you were, well, a baby. Promising review:"Loved how it healed my dry and cracked fingers. Works quickly! This cream is wonderful — my fingers would not heal without it. Found it years ago and continue to use it when needed. I also bought the body cream which I like very much. Works great on dry skin!! Highly recommend both!" — Happy at 77 Get it from Amazon for $9.05. 29. A sleek handheld steamer for turning wrinkly balls of fabric back into the pristine garments they were before you left them in the bottom of your closet. It heats up in just 20 seconds (!!!), so you can freshen up outfits right before you step out the door. And you really can't beat the price for how effective it is. Promising review: "This handheld steamer is amazing! I have never had a good experience with steamers before because they would either leak or take too long to steam. With this particular one, I am able to steam my clothes super fast; it's very convenient if I'm in a time crunch. I really appreciate how it heats up so fast, and it takes very little time to steam my clothes because it works so well. I like how small it is, so I'm able to take it anywhere. I encourage anyone who's looking for a good steamer to give this one a try!" — Brenda Get it from Amazon for $28.96. 30. Silver cleaning wipes because the last thing you need is a set of dirty silverware ~tarnishing~ your reputation. These ammonia-free wipes offer long-lasting shine, protect items from scratching, and are soooo much easier to use than polishing pastes. I've used these and can confirm they work super fast! Promising review:"It is very uncommon for me to write a review but this product is amazing. My family's silverware had not been polished in the 15 years since I married my husband. The only time I ever polished anything before it was messy and smelly and took forever. Therefore I didn't have any interest in polishing something that we weren't using. I decided to try these wipes because the price was reasonable. They are easy to use and do a wonderful job! The silverware looks silver! I used four wipes to polish a service of eight, and it took me about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this product!" — Kehrli Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $9.55. 31. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin. Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). 32. Lumify eye drops you may assume have magical properties because reviewers swear this formula reduces redness in just *one* minute — and then goes the extra mile by keeping eyes brighter for an additional eight hours. No one needs to know about your latest all-nighter... See it in action of TikTok. Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Promising review:"I'm one to be a really unhappy camper when my eyes are red from allergies, poor sleep, makeup irritation, or crying (I'm a crier). I've used allergy drops for years, but nothing compares to this product. Seriously! My eyes can be really red and tired looking, and after about 60 seconds and one drop, my eyes are TOTALLY clear. It looks almost like a photo editor to brighten/whiten eyes. I've ordered two more bottles to keep in my purse and office. LOVE LOVE LOVE." — hollybd Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 33. A bottle of Bio-Clean, a hard water stain remover that obviously works, because it looks like they haven't considered their marketing or packaging since the '80s; the results do all the talking! Made with biodegradable ingredients, this solution cuts through stains, rust, and weird spots caused by mineral build-up. Picture this: opaque shower doors, soap-scummy bathtubs, stained tiles, and cloudy-looking pool floors, all suddenly glistening and shining like new. Reviewers say you still need to scrub, so arm yourself with a rigid sponge or the drill brush to speed things up. Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning. Picture 2: After cleaning glass, before cleaning tile floor. Picture 3: After cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" — Laura "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock, lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff." — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.77. 34. An interlocking tool that lets you maintain your locs at home. It allows you to get closer to the scalp without painful pulling or snagging and automatically adjusts to fit your loc size so you can extend the time between trips to the salon. Promising review: " I went from paying $165 and up per retightening to no longer having maintenance costs. If you have locs this is a must, even if it's only used between appointments to freshen up your edges. It comes in a nice case and pouch, so between those two, I have not lost the tiny item yet. For me, this literally never happens because most small items I own are lost before I blink. Virtually pain-free compared to the sisterlock tool — because of its smooth coating, it glides easily through your locs. It is large enough to hold comfortably for hours because I am slow, and the instructions are easy to understand. I have small to medium sister locks and could not be happier with the new freedom I have." — Kiara Hepburn Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 35. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees. Promising review:"These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." — Nikita Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $11.53 (also available in multipacks). 36. A nail concealer you can count on as a solid solution in between manicures. It strengthens nails with its blend of biotin and keratin while providing a hint of pink. It's basically a low-maintenance manicure in a bottle for under $5. Pretty much a must-buy for nails exhausted by too many gel treatments. Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out and I saw this brand had something similar. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." — reviewer22 "Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." — Andi Get it from Amazon for $4.48. 37. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 80,000 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling healthier and fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows. You can read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic — plus, according to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil comparable to Rogaine in helping with hair growth. Promising reviews: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.33. 38. A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this $5 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, and cotton candy. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $4.43 (also available in a chocolatey scent). 39. A dog paw-cleaning device to keep Spot's feet squeaky clean, because you can't exactly put hand sanitizer on a dog. (Seriously, do not do that.) Fill the tube up with soapy water and let the soft bristles scrub away the day's walk. And, OK, wow: Over 40,000 people awarded this thing 5 stars for its convenience and efficiency. Promising review:"Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously, the best purchase I have made!" — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).
