36 Products For Body Issues You Wish Would Go Away
A cult-favorite foot file that'll grind away at calluses and have your heels and toes looking silky smooth and ready to slip into your go-to sandals. There are many foot files out there, but thousands of reviewers say this one works like a charm. Lumify Eye Drops — a redness-reducing solution made with brimonidine tartrate to whiten and brighten your eyes for up to 8 hours, if that's something you're looking to do. They're a bit more expensive than traditional eye drops, but tons of reviewers swear by them, with many saying they work reliably well. A hemorrhoid cream made with lidocaine so you can get some numbing relief when the back door is in need of a little TLC. It'll also help constrict blood vessels to ease swelling while coating your skin with a hydrating, protective barrier. Also, I'm extremely delighted to tell you there are no before-and-after pics on Amazon for this one!! A piercing bump solution formulated with jojoba, grape seed, and rose to potentially keep any annoying keloids at bay! It can help shrink bumps and reduce scarring by promoting skin cell turnover and adding an extra dose of moisture. Compound W One Step Pads designed to remove plantar warts with ease, and also have reviewer photos that will inspire and traumatize you in equal measure. The medicated pads are packed with salicylic acid to help break down the wart, and you can replace them every 48 hours for best results for up to 12 weeks. A cervical neck "pillow" with a super catchy slogan: "10 minutes a day, keep neck pain away!" It features six massage nodes to help relieve pressure in your neck, and a U-shaped curvature to help support and align your spine. An alcohol-free Therabreath oral rinse because that seasonal post-nasal drip is causing some serious dry mouth issues, which is, in turn, leading to bad breath. It's truly a vicious cycle. Thankfully, this is designed to work for a whopping 12 hours — so you can basically be protected from stanky breath for 24 hours if used twice a day! Reviewers love this formula since it doesn't burn on contact and actually lasts throughout the day. A stainless-steel tongue cleaner so you can scrape away all the nastiness in your mouth that's been giving you a case of morning breath. The two-handled design makes this super easy too maneuver, and reviewers say it works way better than plastic scrapers. A deodorizer shoe spray made with peppermint and eucalyptus oils that's safe enough to spray directly on your feet so you can tackle those odors from the source. It's designed to dry super quickly, so you can spray it and put your shoes on right away. A migraine relief cap you'll love so much you might just Google, "Can I marry an inanimate object?" You can throw it in the freezer or microwave for both hot and cold treatments, and you can also wear it as a sleep mask so you can enjoy some sweet overnight relief. Or WellPatch migraine/headache patches — they stick directly to your forehead to help provide some soothing comfort when you feel a headache coming on, or if you just need a little refresh on a super long day. You don't even need to keep these in the freezer — just remove them from the pouch and stick them on! A Lume acidified body wash that's designed to help control odor for a whopping 24 hours! That $3.75 shower gel you've been loyal to since high school simply can't do that. It's also formulated with mandelic acid to help brighten hyperpigmentation with continued use. And yes, it's safe to use on sensitive areas! And the wildly popular Lume whole-body deodorant cream reviewers swear by for staying fresh in grueling temperatures. Though it won't stop the sweat, it will keep your pits, underboobs, belly button, and more odor free for up to 72 hours — that's a full three days of ~stank~ protection! A pack of SweatBlock wipes — this might be the most aptly-named product ever; they truly block the sweat. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days. A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original blister bandages for all my fellow blister-prone people who refuse to let their sensitive feet stop them from rocking new shoes on vacation. These are designed to be water-resistant, stay in place all day, and provide extra padding to help relieve pain. Undersummers anti-chafing shorts to protect your thighs from friction when you wear your fave dresses and skirts — because nothing ruins a perfect summer day like realizing your thighs are gonna pay the price. And don't worry, these are super stretchy and moisture-wicking, so you won't have to sacrifice comfort to keep the chafe at bay. Or! An all-over anti-chafe balm for anyone who is not actually about that hike life but still lets their super-active friends convince them to tag along. You can swipe this on your thighs, ankles, feet, neck, armpits, or anywhere else that needs some extra protection from the friction that's threatening to ruin your serene afternoon. A bottle of Happy Nuts Comfort Cream — an aluminum-free lotion-to-powder formula that's designed to keep the ~downstairs area~ dry, comfy, and stank-free. If your... um ...🌎 globes 🌎 are susceptible to chafing in warm weather, you might want to keep a few bottles in stock. Or Carpe's Groin Powder that's not only silky smooth but also absorbs sweat thanks to the corn starch base. While it's specifically designed to be safe to use on the groin, some reviewers have had success using it in skin folds and other sweaty areas. Oh, and the delightful white jasmine scent is a welcome bonus. A box of gas relief pills for when Taco Bell night turns into "why do I do this to myself?!" night. This is the maximum strength version, meaning it'll get to work fast to relieve the rumbles and aches that are threatening to ruin your entire night. And some anti-diarrhea medication — you'll need on those days where your brain goes, "I know ice cream gives me diarrhea, but will it give me diarrhea today???" The answer is always yes, so go ahead and have these on standby. CeraVe's Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser so you can banish the acne that's popping up like sunflowers all over your body now that warmer weather is finally here. Reviewers have had luck using it on face and body acne, with many saying it reduces rough skin, bumps, and pimples with consistent use. A pack of highly absorbent sweat liners — now your fave hat won't be drenched at the end of your afternoon walk. Just peel off the adhesive backing, place it inside your hat above the rim, then rest assured that your eyes are protected from sweat and your hat is protected from nasty odors. And seamless bra liners you'll wonder how you ever got by without. Simply place them in your bra and let the moisture-wicking fabric do its magic while keeping you extra comfy. Or "Fresh Breasts" lotion — a quick-drying cream that dries down to a powder that'll help mop up all the excess sweat and moisture that's threatening to put a damper — emphasis on the damp — on the hike you were looking forward to all week. It'll also provide some anti-chafe protection so you can comfortably rock those jean shorts that have been calling to you for weeks now. The super popular Bug Bite Thing, which uses the simple power of suction to alleviate the post-bite itching and swelling from the adorable but vicious bumblebee that attacked you while you were distracted by an equally cute butterfly that landed on a sunflower (I think they may have been working together). It works on everything from mosquito bites to wasp stings, so you'll probably want this in your pocket any time you leave the house this summer. A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that's been clogging up your ear. Just apply five to 10 drops to your ear, keep your head tilted for several minutes to let the carbamide peroxide loosen your hardened earwax, then flush away any remaining wax with warm water in a bulb or syringe. A wildly popular anti-dandruff shampoo — it uses ketoconazole 1% to help fight dandruff and relieve itchy scalps. Several of the 76,000 rave reviews mention seeing a reduction in scalp flakiness when consistently used at least twice a week.

A pack of thin and discreet incontinence pads to provide some absorbent protection on the days when your bladder has a mind of its own. It's made with ~FreshSense~ fabric to lock in any odors and keep wetness from leaking through. A sinus rinse bottle, because your nostrils could be the setting for Osmosis Jones 2 with all the annoying allergens that are taking up residence in there. The squeeze bottle design lets you control the flow and pressure of the water, meaning the days of awkwardly tipping your head with a traditional Neti Pot are over. Imagine coming home and rinsing away all the gunk in your nose after a day at the botanical garden. Heaven. And a saline nasal gel to help relieve any discomfort caused by the dust mites and pollen that are ignoring the "do not enter" sign and trespassing in your nostrils. The aloe will help soothe dry nasal passages, and it can also reduce irritation caused by chronic sinusitis that might flare up due to all the *flings hands around wildly* in the air. A nail renewal formula that'll reverse any damage done by fungal infections, so it's essentially time travel in a bottle. The formula includes lactic acid, propylene glycol, and urea to help thicken, soothe, and reduce discoloration on your nails. Just apply twice a day for the first week, then once a day until your toes are looking good to go. And a toenail brace to easily straighten and fix any ingrown nails — because those bad boys hurt. Plus, sandal season is in full swing, so it's time to let your nails shine in the spotlight! All you have to do is clean and file the affected nail, adhere the brace with the included adhesive, and you may start to see results within a week. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that can help tackle body and foot odor, and may even help clear up some rashes and body acne thanks to tea tree oil's antibacterial properties. It's also packed with peppermint oil, which is the ultimate perk-you-up-in-the-morning scent when the coffee just isn't cutting it. A pack of cold sore patches to help speed up the healing process by keeping the area moist and protected. They're made with a no-touch applicator so you can easily adhere it without making contact with the sore, and reviewers say the clear design makes them fairly discreet (you can even apply makeup over it!).
