You don't wanna think about your calluses. But this easy remover will make them a disappearing act in time for sandal season.
1. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil so you don't have to use your precious face cream all over your neck too.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could but larger containers of it." — Kimberly P.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
2. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel you'll wonder how you lived without 'til now because reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I've only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I've bought several eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I've seen using this product." — Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
3. E.l.f. Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I can confirm that it STAYS put on my lashes until I want it gone. (Even the best of waterproof mascaras make me look like a raccoon after a few hours.) Then, it's super easy to remove the "tubes" with a few gentle swipes. I'll be buying this stuff again and as long as they make it.
Here's Emma Lord 's review that convinced me:
"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).
4. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens to easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying strips that never quite fit your teeth and coffee stains.
www.amazon.com
You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens!
Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
5. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, a quick, easy fix for concealing and brightening your under-eye dark circles because you don't wanna have to do a full face every single day. This "invisible" coverage oft gets compared to the $33 Becca version.
www.amazon.com
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It's very pigmented and covers a blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It's extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I'm a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
6. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you're probably at least somewhat aware of by now. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful. (It gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones AND the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar.)
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "If you love vanilla scents with a splash of sweet chocolate and marshmallow, this is it! First time trying, and I'm in love. Long-lasting. Might last longer than the spray. Definitely WILL buy again and again and again." — H.G.
Get it from Amazon for $4.50 (available in two styles).
7. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles for a serious step up from regular brushes. It has regular firm bristles PLUS longer ones that are ten times thinner to *really* get in between teeth and gums, mimicking flossing. Psst, it's also safe for sensitive teeth.
Mouthwatchers is a small business by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans — which are great for targeting stuff often missed with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say about them: " I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. "
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.
8. An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired Cremo Body Wash will help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day.
Promising review:"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
"I love how this body wash smells and how soft it left my skin! I will be buying again :)." — vivian
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
9. A callus-removing gel for professional pedicure results at home if scrubbing, soaking, and filing have failed you. It's sandal season, y'all!
Promising review: "Amazing. Now I know the first pic is gross but that just shows how bad my feet were, scrubbing, pedicures, soaking all just made it worse until I found this cream! I mean it seriously shows In the pics. The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.87.
10. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion with an intoxicating scent and formula that'll soak in and keep you hydrated. Oh, and that scent?! People compare it to brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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
"I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
11. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder can stop shine in its tracks without having to dip into a coffee shop bathroom to touch up your makeup. It walks that fine (perfect) line of blurring and keeping you matte r without making you look dull. 'Tis the season for your skin to come out of its dry cave and it's always a bit tough to find that perfect in-between!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
12. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a TikTok-famous cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking kitchen faucet.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
13. Plus, The Pink Stuff Spray in case you're extremely into the OG cleaning paste and have wondered out loud, "Hm, I wonder what else they make." Well, THIS!
Promising review: "I've tried everything I could think of to get my oven clean, then came across this on Amazon. It smells like green apples to me, which is far better than most cleaning products. The picture was taken during the cleaning process of the inside of the glass door. I'm amazed!" — Star
14. SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. Reviewers especially love the intoxicating scent and sometimes opt out of wearing perfume because the vanilla/salted caramel/pistachio scent is quite strong.
I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash.
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in three sizes).
15. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.)
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can't wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." — Rob
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
16. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a lightweight but SUPER hydrating face serum made to work on all skin types — yep, even sensitive skin. It addresses acne scars, dark spots, and fine lines. Plus! The snail mucin is harvested in an ethically and environmentally friendly way.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn't have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." — Shelby
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
Pair it with the moisturizer for even more impressive results.
17. An 8-in-1 mani in a bottle for a long-lasting flush of color that'll make it seem like you went and got a pro mani. But really, you brushed it on while you caught up on Summer House for a much nicer result than the last time you tried that with a regular polish.
Promising review: "I love this stuff. I wanted the benefits of these ingredients but also wanted a flush of color. This stuff is so pretty. You can see on my thumb how smooth my severely rigid and damaged nail is. It looks so much better. The pointer and middle finger have a press on, but I wanted to show how well it applied on flawed natural nails too, next to a 'perfect' press-on." — Katerina
Get it from Amazon for $5.36.
18. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought this so that I would not have to use energy to scrub my tub and shower. It may not seem like a lot of energy but for somebody who has a chronic illness and is a clean freak, it's a lifesaver!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98.
19. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99.
20. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll remove oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
21. Murdle, Volume 1, a book chock full with so many mystery-themed logic puzzles (100, to be exact) that it should be illegal. And if you're worried about speed running through the book, there are three editions!
www.amazon.com
Check out Volume 2, Volume 3, and even more themed Murdle books!
Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately
Get it from Amazon for $10.25.
22. Affresh dishwasher tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. Turns out, you don't need a new dishwasher, it just needs a proper cleaning.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job so I had the rental company replace it. When Affresh came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila
Get them from Amazon for $8.99.
23. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper will make onion tears and food prep mess a thing of the past! This way, you can actually pull off that Pinterest recipe you've been meaning to make instead of paying Uber Eats $30 for Taco Bell. (Sometimes that's worth it, though.)
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
24. A set of *washable* Flat Socks topark in all your flats and sneakers and fend off foot stank. Listen, you still aren't on the tube sock bandwagon and won't apologize for it. But you don't need people demanding apologies for your stinky shoes.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "What a cool product! I found these on a 'got to have' list off Facebook. I throw shoes out because of the smell rather than wearing them out as I hate wearing socks. Bare feet all the time in shoes is not a winner. These are great at preventing stinky shoes — trim to size and just toss in the washer when needed! I will be buying several additional pairs!" — Amy
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).
25. A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages made with hydrocolloid to not only avoid rubbing existing blisters, but also to help heal them. ESSENTIAL now that's it's walking-outside weather again.
www.amazon.com
Here's what BuzzFeed staffer Emma Lord has to say about them: "As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back."
Promising review:"I got a big heel blister while breaking in some new work boots. It would have been painful to keep wearing the boots with a traditional Band-Aid. These Dr. Frederick's heel bandages work like magic. They are literally like a padded extra layer of skin. Put one on and you can't even feel the blister anymore. Could put the boots back on and go right back to work. And they fit so well, that towards the end of the healing period I forgot and even took a shower with it on and still stuck on fine. Like I say, like an layer of temporary skin." — Kevin Weatherman
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four varieties).
26. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if once the temp rises above 70 you feel like you start POURING sweat, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits before bed and it's made to work for up to seven days.
www.amazon.com
As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!
Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a roll-on).
27. A portable handheld fan that's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of uses for it. I have one and use it year-round whenever I find myself sweating or on the verge of sweating.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action.
Promising review:"This fan works so well, keeps me cool when I'm on the beach or sitting outside in the sun. The battery life is amazing but it takes a while to charge up." — Amanda Clerk
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
28. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense can stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. But really. I have thick thighs and swear by it! Make the transition from winter tights to bare spring legs MUCH easier with this.
Amazon
My former colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! Here's what she has to say:
"I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"
Promising review:"Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my fat thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer lifesaver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe four hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." — Ash
Get it from Amazon for $6.
29. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes.
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 have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
"To drops in your eyes and all day, they look perfectly white and healthy. I would definitely buy these again." — Kelley
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
30. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your home *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal.
www.amazon.com
I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well.
Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16.
31. A SnapPower GuideLight will optimize your regular old outlets instead of a night-light that you have to plug into an outlet that you always have to unplug the coffee grinder or do other tasks.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
SnapPower is a small biz that specializes in unique and innovative lighting products.
Promising review: "I ordered this after seeing it on TikTok. I'm very happy with this product!" — Miss. Harris
"Game changer. When I get up, I don't want to wake everyone up with flipping on lights and all. These provide plenty of walking through the house light. Super easy installation, too." — Monica Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three outlet styles and four colors).
32. A slim cutlery organizer here to prove that, yes! You do have room for all your cutlery in your tiny kitchen drawer! Scoot over, forks. (Yeah yeah yeah, your drawers are *hidden* but they still make such a huge different in your kitchen!)
Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed
I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
33. A set of adjustable mug organizers that'll help you better use your kitchen cabinet space *and* also keep your mugs safer since they fit on top of a mug, creating a setup where you can safely stack a second mug on top instead of googling replacements.
www.amazon.com
Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home.
Promising review: "I use these to organize my coffee mugs and my glasses in smaller cabinets. They not only look nicer, they save space without tilting when you try to stack mugs without support. I also use these to stack ramekins and that is also better now. These are adjustable to fit different sizes. I highly recommend these organizers!" — Amazon Customer
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
34. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this brand! Here is what she has to say about their pieces:
" For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's lin e of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!"
Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters
"I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two).
35. Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it " Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.)
Amazon
You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water.
Check out a TikTok of the Oxo Rapid Brewer in action.
Promising review: "I'm in love with various forms of coffee preparation and I've tried all forms of equipment to make them at home. If asked what I prefer for a quick cappuccino, that's easy. This Oxo Rapid Brewer. I've played with my Aeropress for over two decades, including all the necessary add-ons and doo-dads to get close to what this machine does on the first attempt. Get comfortable with a bag of fresh beans, a quality burr grinder, and friends. Do rounds of blind taste tests. I think you'll agree." — Cynthia
Get it from Amazon for $33.93.
36. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B
Get them from Amazon for $28.98 (also available in a set of two).
37. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They're lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I've received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" — Arsalan sheikh
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five styles and two packs).
38. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid. (It's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation.) Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Briotech spray in action.
Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466

39. An earwax removal kit anyone who seems to get built up goo quite a bit will appreciate. Or anyone who watches earwax removal videos when they can't sleep. ::raises hand::
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Many years ago, I had a pretty severe wax impaction issue. Went to the doctor and got my ear flushed. They recommended this to continue to deal with excess wax. So satisfying to see the wax flush out after using this. These days, my eczema and dry skin had re-surfaced in my ears. So, now I use it to deal with the dry flaky skin in my ears. Put some drops in, let it fizz and bubble, and flush them out. The flakes come out easily — much better than the maddening itchy ears." — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
40. A rectangular lazy Susan made to hold more than the traditional round ones. Here's to grabbing the oat milk from the back of the fridge without having to remove everything from the shelf that just so happens to be in front of said oat milk.

www.amazon.com
Promising review: 'We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!' — Jessica N.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes).
43. A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic cleaning cups to clean out your Keurig's innards once your coffee starts tasting a bit funny.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." — Mads0421

44. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible!
www.amazon.com
It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.
Promising review:"Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt's Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don't feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I'm picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I've had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" — jlgentr3
Get it from Amazon or $13.33.
45. A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of springy light outerwear over it as needed.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising reviews:"I finally bought this dress after seeing it all over TikTok and HOLY SMOKES. I cannot believe how universally [good it looks on people]. It's absolutely stunning!" — Catherine Thriveni
"This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" — Tonya
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors/styles).

Promising review (for pic on the left):"LOVE this product sooooo much! I'm obsessed! I am of mixed race and have very curly frizzy hair naturally. Even with relaxer my hair has always had dry looking frizzy ends. I have tried so many different products but nothing else compares. Best by far!" — Amazon Customer
Promising review (for pic on the right): "I NEEDED to try this product after all the positive hype. It certainly did live up to my expectations. I went from balayage to a medium brown color with my hair. The bottom part of my hair was still very porous from the bleaching. After blow drying my hair where the blonde was it was never smooth. Not anymore! My hair is so smooth and healthy looking. I absolutely love this product and I highly recommend it. It has completely transformed my hair." — Lori
Get it from Amazon for $26.60 (sulfate-, gluten-, alcohol-, and paraben-free).
47. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. This'll make for a VERY easy Saturday afternoon project because you pour it on and just let it SIT.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there." — AmazonBob
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'with all the science and technology in the world we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!'
This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel

50. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer so you'll have space for all the stuff you take from all the delicious food that sometimes makes you feel bad on your travels.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." — Jacqueline

Promising review:"These are amazing, as someone who has pretty severe motion sickness and carries Dramamine with me everywhere this is magnificent. I used these on an overnight cruise in Europe. The sea was particularly choppy that night and was miserable for me even with Dramamine and ginger. These did the trick! They were fairly tight on me (I am plus size) but the relief they gave me was immense." — Jena Freyermouth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53 (available in adult and children's sizes).
52. A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige?
www.amazon.com
It's from a family-run business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review:"After reading the reviews I thought I could at least try it, and holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner!!! I think I have tried every cleaner on the market for pet stains and nothing ever really works on my carpets. Even if I get it off the top, it somehow comes back up. My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100% gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone. Miracle cleaner for sure!" — PLLane
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
53. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to help you watch what you want or take advantage of the movies available online for those budget airlines without TVs in the back of the seats. It'll work on the plane *or* while you wait to board. A three-hour flight without a seat TV should be illegal.
Amazon
Promising review: "I used it on a round trip. It is has a powerful and sturdy clip that will attach to almost anything. I didn't have to attempt to balance it on the food tray or strain my neck. It remained at eye level and never attempted to sway or fall. I'd buy it again. Also I'd consider it as a stocking stuffer for a frequent traveler. This is definitely a thumbs-up!" — Kara

Promising review:"Just returned from a European vacation and this little device worked like a charm! The sound cancellation worked really well on that horribly long 14-hour flight and I could hear the movie perfectly. Just buy it, it's a must have (until airlines convert their stuff to Bluetooth, don't hold your breath)." — Just a Muggle Mom

Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 32 and 40-pack).
56. An exfoliating scrub mitt will help you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it often!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh.
I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." — Kat
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a set of two).
57. A MakeUp Eraser washcloth to easily take off a full face of makeup with mere water. Then if you flip it to the other side you can use it to exfoliate your skin!

Promising review:"I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With Makeup Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz

33 Products You'll Want For Your Embarrassing Problems
A teeth-whitening pen if you want a brighter smile without the irritation of whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades. Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houskaGet a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 (also available individually and in packs of four). A set of Kegel weights to not only help with incontinence but also potentially make sex easier, less painful, and more enjoyable. These are especially great for people who've just given birth, though anyone can benefit from strengthening their pelvic floor muscles. Read more about Kegel exercises at Cleveland review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program, you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth, you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady TauberGet a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.99. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that'll help you wipe away soap scum and residue in your shower in half the time it normally takes you to clean. It's biodegradable, so the scent won't singe your nose hairs and make you gag. Plus, it's safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, granite, stainless steel, marble, brass, and porcelain. Promising review: "I am amazed!!!! I bought this product because of the reviews, and wow!!! I just bought my home, and my water is from a new well, which stained my toilets and I was so embarrassed when anyone would go to a brand new house with a dirty, stained toilet, but this did the job!!!! I have used many products, and this worked perfectly!!! You need to do a bit of scrubbing, but it's all worth it. Extremely happy with the results!!!" —Luis RoqueGet it from Amazon for $19.99. Some acne patches for those days when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. They absorb all the gunk lurking in your whiteheads and create a barrier to prevent you from picking or popping. And they're sheer enough that you can wear them out in public. A Squatty Potty, because a bout of constipation shouldn't leave you down in the ~dumps~. Squatting changes the angle of your anal canal, opening it up so it's easier for things to exit. Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland review: "I have known about this product for years since seeing it on Shark Tank. I know lots of people who use it and always thought to myself, 'I don't have problems, so I don't need it.' Well, a pelvic physical therapist suggested it to me to help with my issue with a large prostate. The results are pretty amazing, not only for the issue I had but for clearing my bowels, which was an issue I didn't think I had a problem with. The best thing is that I used to wait until I couldn't hold it any longer. When using this product, I can go even if I don't feel an urgent urge. I strongly recommend it!" —L HudsonIf you want more Squatty Potty content before making the best purchase of your life, check out our Squatty Potty it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).

I won't go back!" —Cale it from Amazon and Tushy for $129+ (available in nine colors). And don't forget a before-you-go toilet spray to hide any evidence. Even if you're one of those weirdly confident people who can poop in a house full of people without issue, having this in your bathroom for others can calm nervous pooers. Promising review: "New Year's Day 2019 I wake up at my friend's house after a night of partying to the smell of fresh coffee and bacon frying in the kitchen. So I get up and say good morning to everyone, get me some coffee, and think to myself, 'Hey! The entire house smells like bacon. It's probably an opportune time for me to 'drop the kids off at the pool' because no one will notice anything I'm making in the bathroom over what Michelle is making in her kitchen.' Anyway, I look on top of the bowl and there's this stuff. For added protection against embarrassment, I pump a couple of sprays into the bowl and do my stuff. Yup now I totally smell bacon and oranges, but not a whiff of anything else that might cause my friends to ask me if I need to see a doctor or something. So now I keep a bottle with me just in case I'm in one of those situations when I have, you know, a brown dog scratching at the back door, but don't want anyone to know that I'm letting him out." —D. Grieco it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a variety of sizes). A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani.

They can perform a physical exam or imaging scan and deliver a review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! I've been struggling with cotton swabs to fully remove the stones, but couldn't get rid of them, and they would just come back within the week. I received this and investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly posing myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous me." —WrenGet it from Amazon for $9.93+ (available in two colors and a two-pack). A jetted tub cleaner, because who knows when the last time you cleaned it was. (I hate to break it to you, but you're probably chillaxing in dirty water.) This cleanser is made to flush out soap scum, body oils, and those black flakes that gunk up your tub's jets. Promising review: "They don't call this Oh Yuk! for no reason. I previously used Jacuzzi's two-part system, and this worked sooo much better. I was totally embarrassed, not to mention grossed out, at how much funk came out. It was NASTY! It definitely cleans your tub. You will probably have to clean the sides of your tub after it's finished because of how much stuff might come out. I swear I clean my tub on a regular basis, but I was amazed at how much better this worked. Highly recommend!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $18.73.

This non-toxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain so you can sit atop the listening throne you deserve. Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly, the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" —Stephanie RayGet it from Amazon for $11.99. A foot file so your heels are in sandal-ready condition. Rub gently and watch the dead skin and calluses fall like shredded cheese to reveal baby soft heels. Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving, and that has led to deep calluses on the heel of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later, I'm touching baby-smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin. This thing is a miracle-worker, and if I could rate it 10 stars, I would." —Gully176Get it from Amazon for $9.95. A pack of earbud cleaners because you wanna clearly hear your true crime podcast. Squish the flexible square into your AirPods, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality. That photo! That goop! Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each ear bud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product. You don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon CustomerGet 12 from Amazon for $15.99. A TubShroom if your relaxing showers have turned into you standing in a puddle of water for 15 minutes because the drain is This little guy snags the hair you shed before it can collect in the pipes. Promising review: "I have long hair and recently had a baby. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair, then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair, they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamoGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and in packs of two). A tube of antiperspirant hand cream to dry your hands if you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excess sweating), or if you're just nervous! Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his life. It broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set up an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZOGet it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three scents and multi-packs). A collagen-coating hair treatment that's safe for all hair types and will revitalize a dry, damaged, and overprocessed mane overnight. This reparative five-minute hair mask will revive your mane and leave it soft, silky, and smooth. An antifungal tea tree balm for treating basically any somewhat embarrassing skin condition you can think of: athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and even just dry skin. Promising review: "I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere, and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away by how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, calluses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been, and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." —anengstromGet it from Amazon for $36.33. A box of wart-removing pads that you apply like bandages so you can be rid of your extra growth. Be gone, appendage! Promising review: "This stuff works! I've never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to Google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! Eww, embarrassing! So I got the freeze off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the freeze off three times and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus, but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying the strip. By the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles and in larger packs). A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream because you're tired of your mom constantly asking you, "Are you getting enough sleep?" on your weekly FaceTime, even though she should darn well know that your dark circles are hereditary (thnx a lot, Mom!). Promising review: "This is the second review I've done on Amazon. I rarely go out of my way to write a review unless I'm truly amazed by the product. I have terrible sunken-in eyes (due to genetics) that can't really be fixed without fillers (which I'd never do). No matter how much sleep I get, I have bad dark circles, so I decided that I had to invest in an eye cream. I'm so glad I did! I used a cheap drugstore eye cream that really only made it look like I had water under my eyes, and it did nothing else. This eye cream is so hydrating and smooth! It really evens out my skin tone and wakes up my face in the morning! I feel so refreshed and dare I It's boosted my confidence a ton. I'm so happy with this product!" —casie ackermanGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). A grout paint pen to cover up the mortifyingly large amount of dirt and grime that has fallen into the cracks. It works like a regular marker, so even the people who failed art can use it. And it beats actually having to clean! 🙃 Promising review: "I don't hate my old tile as much! My husband and I renovated our ground level into an entertaining area. The tile, on the other hand, was old and just would have cost way too much money to pull up. Needless to say, the area came out amazing. Now I don't hate the tile because the grout was so dirty, and I could not get it clean as much. I highly recommend this product. Now, when I walk downstairs, I don't cringe looking at the floor anymore. I will purchase another pen or two just to go over it later on. I'm not embarrassed by my floors anymore." —LUCYANNGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip widths and a variety of colors). A bottle of dentist-approved mouthwash for helping reduce the severity of your swamp breath, whether it's caused by a medical issue or because you just drank coffee and orange juice. This one's made sans alcohol, so it won't burn when you swish it around your mouth. Promising review: "Why didn't I find it before? It's very embarrassing to admit, but I had very stinky breath. It did smell like s..t and I tried many products that didn't work. Just follow instructions and 'deep throat' gargle for 30 seconds or so for best results. I can say that my breath has improved by 50%, which is a huge huge difference. Morning breath is not as bad. I can talk to people with confidence and that all it counts. Thank you Amazon!!!" —Shopper5Get a pack of two from Amazon for $ You can learn more by reading my colleague's in-depth TheraBreath oral rinse deep dive. A natural shoe deodorizer spray so you don't have to wash your feet the minute you get home to get rid of the funk from your work flats. It's made with essential oils and smells like lemon and eucalyptus so you'll probably want to spray it around the rest of your house, too. Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty, and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer, but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also, so I'm sure I'll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah BrownGet it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three scents). A denture cleaner because, despite brushing your retainer each night, it's somehow coated in some weird white film. These fizzing tablets will blast away odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque from your Invisalign, retainers, dentures, night guards, and more. A box of extra strength Gas-X chewables if you know you should avoid dairy but your Friday night plans include mac 'n' cheese, nachos, and ice cream. Promising review: "Sometimes you eat something that is too rich on an empty stomach and wham — the pain, the bloating, the weird weird noises start. And then if you have this, within minutes, it helps relieve the gas, bloating, and discomfort. Taking this is nothing to be ashamed about; it happens to everyone whether they like to admit it or not." —MusicLoverGet a pack of 72 chewable tablets from Amazon for $14.48. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to banish bad bacteria and improve stinky breath. This way you won't suffer the embarrassment of someone offering you a breath mint. A pack of Schick dermaplaning razors that'll evict any unwanted stray hairs and help you conquer your fear caused by accidentally shaving off half your eyebrow in middle school, thanks to its precision cover. These itty bitty razors are great for stashing in your purse for touch-ups on the go. Promising review: "I'm a hairy gal. Hormonal problems ruled out by my physician; it's just hereditary. My cheeks, neck, forehead, and chin are covered in a fine ever-growing peach fuzz. If I cease shaving, I shall acquire a boat and thus forth be dubbed blonde beard. My mustache is darker and thicker, something I think a lot of women experience. I have been shaving for a while with a men's razor (Gillette Fusion ProGlide for reference) and shaving cream but it just couldn't give me a close enough shave. ENTER SCHICK SILK TOUCH-UP! Holy wow! I've been dry shaving my entire face and some of my neck with these and no irritation, plus it is the closest shave I have gotten. No pulling or scraping like other 'mini razors.' It's quicker than doing what I call a 'dad shave' in the shower, and I can see what I'm shaving because I'm at my makeup table and there's no shaving cream obstructing my view (I don't want to accidentally hack off the hair by my ears or forehead). Plus, I compared this to other (what I call) mini razors and it's twice the size. So very efficient for doing your whole face, easy for detailing those brows. I love this product and hope that they sell it forever. It works on my peach fuzz, mustache, and brows. If I ever get word that they are going to stop making them, I will hoard them all." —Dr. Eleanor AbernathyGet a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94 (or Subscribe & Save for $5.64/month). A clay mask for vacuuming the gunk out of your pores. It may also help reduce the frequency of your breakouts and soften your skin. Promising review: "I bought this as a last hope for cystic acne. I bought raw apple cider vinegar with the mother to mix with the clay powder because I heard that worked best for people experiencing skin problems. My skin has been a rollercoaster for the past five years. But recently, things have gotten really out of control. My self-esteem is the lowest it's been. This mask had been such a lifesaver. I'm not sure words can describe how impressed I am with this healing clay mask. Since my skin has been through hell and I've literally tried everything, it's pretty resilient, so I've been using this mask every night for the last four days. It's not nearly as drying as I thought it would be, so that hasn't been an issue. But the mask has dried up everything, and I have no new breakouts. I was so happy that I cried. If I could give this product a million stars, I would!" —Afton StAmourGet it from Amazon for $ our Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay deep dive and discover more of its many uses. A bottle of dandruff shampoo so you can banish white flakes from your scalp. It's made with ketoconazole 1%, an antifungal ingredient that'll tell your dandruff it's no longer welcome here. Read more about ketoconazole shampoo at Cleveland review: "MIRACLE PRODUCT! If you have a flaky scalp from dandruff, BUY THIS. I was about to go to the dermatologist if this stuff didn't work. Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it." —chrisGet it from Amazon for $15.88. An odor-eliminating spray because you're pretty sure your houseguests think your living room smells like cat pee (you definitely think so!) since your kitty urinates in the same corner. This'll lift stains and odors fast. Plus, each spray releases bacteria that feed on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again. Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem, and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let it dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona miaGet it from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in two scents). A pack of gas-neutralizing pads if your farts smell worse than the dog's (and the dog eats poop!). Each antimicrobial activated charcoal pad traps foul-smelling gas molecules so toxic toots are a thing of the past. Promising review: "My significant other has a butt that wants to violently suffocate everyone. This was originally a gag (pun intended) gift but, when used, it actually worked. Most, if not all, of the smell went away with the particularly terrible poots. We joke that we should get some more." —SunshineGet a pack of five from Amazon for $12.99.

Dentists Are Sharing The Most Horrifying Things They've Witnessed In Someone's Mouth, And It Might Be The Worst Thing I've Ever Read
Earlier this month, I decided to ask dentists and dental hygienists in our very own BuzzFeed Community what turned out to be a pretty graphic question: "What's the most horrifying thing you've seen in someone's mouth or witnessed on the job?" Their answers were gross in an absolutely fascinating way, so, I decided I had to share. You might pull a face at a few of these, but you'll definitely be entertained! So, here are some of people's best answers: Related: 1."Dead bedbugs in a patient's gums." NBC —Anonymous 2."Hairy tongue." —Anonymous, 44, Connecticut, US 3."A teenager whose wisdom teeth were developing so that it was best for her to have them removed by an oral surgeon with IV sedation. She freaked out. She didn't want it done because she was scared of the could easily see over 20 piercings." —Anonymous 4."I'm a dental hygienist and the strangest thing I have found (repeatedly) in people's mouths is pubic hair. You see a little hair sticking out of a person's gums, so you grab a pair of tweezers to pull it out, and it ends up being a long curly pubic hair. 🤢 I have also found a SPROUTED SEED stuffed underneath someone's gums before. 🤣" Warner Bros. —Anonymous, 31, Illinois 5."Periodontist here. I once had a patient who had a massive infection of his wisdom teeth that was starting to come out of his cheek. So what looked like a pimple on his lower right was really the infection starting to drain." HBO / Via "I immediately sent him to a hospital that had an oral surgeon on staff. The tooth was extracted, and he had a drain placed in his face to clear the infection. When your dentist tells you that you have an infection, it doesn't get any better; it only gets worse." —Anonymous, 37, New Jersey Related: 6."I was a dental assistant and took a full-mouth panoramic X-ray of a patient with no teeth. Looked in his mouth and he was right, he had no teeth. Took the X-ray and found he had roots for all his teeth, but they had rotted, and gum tissue had grown up over to cover them. A fascinating extraction surgery followed." —Anonymous 7."Dental hygienist/hygiene educator here with an interesting story and a serious one. The interesting story: A patient lost a front tooth, kept it, cut the root off, attached it to something metal, and then superglued it in — a super creative idea! Unfortunately, superglue is acidic, so it damaged the teeth where he attached his makeshift bridge. But you can't help but admire his outside-the-box thinking." "The serious story: Years ago, I was completing the oral facial (oral cancer) examination on my patient and saw a red patch on the floor of his mouth. I referred him to an ENT, and sure enough, it was cancer, and it needed surgical removal and radiation. It was life-changing for him (though he passed away a few years later) and for me. From then on, I was more confident and took more time completing that exam, and less worried about staying on schedule. Every time thereafter I saw this patient for his cleaning, he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek and thanked me for the extra time he had with his family. Each year, I tell my students this story and tell them how important this exam is to complete, to not worry about the clock, and not to cut it out from their tasks. Worry more about the patient as a whole, and not about if you leave stain behind or a tenacious piece of calculus (tartar). I cried when my patient died, and I tear up every time I teach oral facial exams and think about what he taught me and how grateful he was for me." —Anonymous, 45, New York 8."It wasn't something I saw, exactly, but something I smelled. The patient had cancer, and we could smell it coming from his mouth. No judgment for the bad smell, not his fault, everyone deserves dignity." —Anonymous Related: 9."I'm a dentist. I had a new patient come in with a loose crown. I told him I might be able to just remove the crown after I cleaned it, then recement it back over the tooth. I removed the crown to discover a worm flopping around inside." Dotana / Getty Images "I cleaned out the crown and tooth, recementing it. Then I referred him to his MD for treatment of the worm infestation. I was very careful with my gloves on and face mask, not touching any instruments until they were cleaned and sterilized before they were put away. I nearly lost it." —Anonymous 10."Unfortunately, I am not the only dentist who has had this experience, but fortunately, it has only happened to me once. I had a patient, mid-50s, in whose dentures I found several maggots. Yes, I did leave and go throw up." —Anonymous, 47, Ohio, US 11."Teen patient with a moldy retainer. They never took it out, and there was food and gunk in a layer of slime all over the top of it. And my God, the smell." —Anonymous 12."Many drug users get to a point (and it happens more quickly than you would think) where they unfortunately do not care about oral hygiene. Dental health gets even worse when a person's drug of choice is something like meth. It's always very sad to see and difficult to deal with. Take care of your teeth, kids." —Anonymous, 38 13."Do not smoke after getting your wisdom teeth removed. You do not want a dry socket." —Anonymous Related: 14."I did a lot of free work for underprivileged people and people experiencing homelessness in my city when I was a younger dentist. (Not so much anymore, I miss being able to help, but I'm older now and would get the occasional violent patient.) This wasn't the saddest thing I ever saw, but it was pretty messed up and stuck with me: a child, around 5 or 6, with almost totally decayed teeth. They basically survived off soda, milk, candy, and other junk food." "The only silver lining was that these were baby teeth. I spoke to the mother and did report that the child was being neglected and needed help. This was about 20 years ago; I live in a smallish town, and I know the child ended up living with their grandmother." —Anonymous 15."I don't have any real horror stories, but you'd be surprised how many people don't think about their teeth when it comes to smoking cigarettes! Plenty of smokers worry about their skin prematurely aging, but pay far less mind to oral health. Smokers' breath can get pretty horrific." —Anonymous 16."Maggots." CBS —Anonymous, 48, Seattle, Washington finally: "A guy who had sharpened his incisors and tried to bite the hygienist." —Anonymous, 54 Okay, I know that got pretty gross, but at times, it was touching.

38 Amazon Skincare Items Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A bottle of E.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll feel like a cool drink of water for your face in the morning — refreshing, brightening, and hydrating. Ahhhhh. Infused with a 1% hibiscus complex, hyaluronic acid, and 5% niacinamide, this multitasking serum sinks in fast with a nongreasy finish reviewers are obsessed with. You can use it solo for that fresh-faced glow, layer it under makeup as a hydrating primer, or even mix it into your foundation for extra dew. Promising reviews: "Makes my skin feel like it just took a drink of COLD water. And a nice pearly glow after." –Beverly Hayes"I've been using the e.l.f. Thirst Burst Drops for a few months now, and I'm honestly obsessed. My skin has been feeling way more hydrated, and there's this natural glow that wasn't there before. It's super lightweight—almost like water—and absorbs fast without feeling greasy or sticky.I love that it has 5% niacinamide because it's helped even out some redness I always get around my nose and cheeks. The hibiscus complex gives it that extra boost of brightness, too. I use it before my moisturizer or sometimes mix it in, and my makeup sits beautifully on top. If you want dewy skin without spending a ton, this one's a gem. Definitely staying in my routine." —Makala HubbardPrice: $11.97 A butt acne-clearing lotion because your tushy deserves to be blemish free, too. It's formulated with antibacterial tea tree oil to help soothe inflamed skin and prevent future breakouts. Promising review: "This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." —Billie BPrice: $24.99 A Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric overnight mask to work the night shift so you can wake up looking like you got a facial in your dreams (the kojic acid, vitamin C, and retinol help to tackle dullness while the turmeric and collagen help to soothe and nourish the skin). Reviewers say they wake up to smoother, glowier, more even-toned skin — and the satisfying peel-off in the morning? Just a little treat to wake up to. Promising review: "I'll start by saying I have very oily skin that can break out easily and I used this for five days in a row with no issues! I spread it on with a silicone brush…you only need a very thin layer! It does dry within 10 minutes or so. After the first night I did make sure to move my mouth area as it dried to prevent peeling/lifting around my nose and mouth area before bed. It does tickle your face if this happens LOL. I applied this after my normal nightly routine and feel like it helped my skin absorb all my products better. Since my skin is oily I always wake up feeling greasy from my products and have to wash my face in the morning. After taking the mask off in the morning my face was not nearly as greasy and felt more hydrated and plump. It is SOOOO satisfying to take off!! It reminds me of when you're little and let the Elmer's glue dry on your fingers then peel it off LOL. This is easily going to become part of my routine at least a couple of times a week!" —Missy BarronPrice: $19 A Burt's Bees after-sun lotion (with aloe and coconut oil) for when you have a little too much fun in the sun. It helps to alleviate the burning sensation and reconditions the skin after it's fried. Promising review: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. I took the top photo at 9:30 last night, then the bottom photo 23.5 hours later, and the difference is huge. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —Carolina $14.24 A jar of Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream that'll delight your senses in two ways: 1) the incredibly moisturizing effect on your skin and 2) the iconic scent that's simply out of this world. Specifically it smells like salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla. Promising review: "I love this stuff! Just wanted to try it out to see what the hype was about but I'm in love with the scent, plus it makes my skin super smooth. It's so comfortable to wear all day and reapply, and the smell lasts for a whole day, sometimes even longer! Definitely a great buy." —brandiPrice: $24+ (available in four sizes) A carbonated bubble clay mask so you can draw out impurities from your T-zone and have a bit of fun doing it. Your pals might have foam-o (LOL, get it) after seeing your pics on Insta Stories. But seriously, don't let my silly jokes deter you from giving this mask a go! Promising review: "I loved this! The fizzing effect exfoliated and deep cleaned my face…beyond facial smooth and bright! It felt nice during the treatment. I really sensed DEEP cleaning! I think it will be a nice weekly treat! I highly recommend for the fun experience and the amazing results." —Amy Lynn VolanskyPrice: $9.80 A SeoulCeuticals toner and face mist made with marine minerals, organic aloe, cucumber, and tamarind extract, perfect for that post-cleanse refresh or a midday pick-me-up over makeup. It'll help hydrate, soothe, and perk up tired skin with zero stickiness — just glowy, dewy vibes on demand. Promising review: "I'm in absolute love with this product!! I have really dry sensitive skin and have been on the hunt for literally YEARS trying to look for a hydrating face mist. I've gone through the Mario Badescu mists and tons others that just have not made the cut for me and I've finally found the one! This face mist hydrates my skin to the MAX, not only that but it has also been improving my skin texture! No more tiny bumps! My skin feels super smooth, hydrated and soft and I'm loving it! The best part is I've only been using it for two weeks and even after the first use I saw major changes in my skin. Since this spray does spray on a more specific part of the face, I just spray it all over my face and use my hands to lightly pat the product all over and distribute it all around. I'll definitely be reordering this product in the future!" —Carina RubioPrice: $19.98 A Nivea skin firming body gel loaded with Q10 — a buzzy ingredient that, among other things, can help to improve skin elasticity. This fast-absorbing formula also packs hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to boost hydration and radiance, making it a must-have for anyone looking to treat their body with the same care as their face. There are a ton of before-and-after pics from reviewers who say the product really does work — and fast! Promising review: "First of all, it cools your skin! If you're like me, you put on your moisturizing lotion before bed. However, if you live in the south in the summer, the last thing you want is anything sticky on your skin. My legs in particular get really dry and itchy so I'm always looking for a moisturizer to help. This of course is moisturizing, but it leaves no sticky residue, it firms my skin up on the upper thighs, leaves my shins feeling smooth and rehydrated and it's cooling!! I don't wanna wash it off in the morning it's so nice! I'm buying more! I've never seen this in a drugstore before— I've heard of Nivea, but have never seen this particular moisturizer. I'm buying this for my legs from now on!" —Brieann"I really like the feel of this lotion. It goes on smooth and easy and a little goes a long way. It dries fairly quickly so you don't have to wait long for it to absorb before getting dressed if you're in a rush. Makes my skin feel amazing! I have been using it fairly consistently for a little over two months and think the texture of my skin looks better. The silky feeling it leaves you with is the best part though. Try it!" —Buyer of things and stuffPrice: $13.98 A Jergens Natural Glow self-tanner body lotion that'll give you a believable, buildable tan *and* leave your skin feeling like it just drank a gallon of coconut water (which is actually an ingredient in the formula). This cult-favorite lotion delivers gradual color while hydrating dry skin with antioxidants and collagen. Reviewers love that it smells fresh (read: no weird self-tanner scent) and say it leaves their skin looking smoother and sun-kissed without stepping into actual sun. Promising review: "As someone who has fair skin, especially on my legs, this lotion gives me so much confidence! It gives my skin a beautiful, natural-looking tan! It goes on very evenly with absolutely no orange tones. It has a very pleasant smell, and it's easy to apply. I literally just use my hands to apply it while washing them after, and it works great! People think my tan is natural and I get many compliments!" —Lauren Nelson"This self tanner is the best one I have used. It doesn't turn orange or cause streaks. I have tried more expensive ones that didn't work as well. I am fair skinned and can't tolerate being out in the sun. This self tanner looks natural and is easy to apply." —Kindle CustomerPrice: $10.47 (available in two shades) A vibrating stainless-steel skin spatula for pushing out blackheads and other gunk from your pores — with gross yet extremely satisfying results. Pro-tip: give your face a gentle steam to help loosen up built-up oil before using this for maximum ~facial~ effects. Reviewers say they felt like serums and other products absorbed into the skin better afterward. An EltaMD sunscreen with zinc oxide nearly universally adored (by our readers, celebs, and influencers) because it's lightweight and doesn't cause breakouts. You can safely give this a try even if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin. Promising review: "I wear this every single day, and I love it. It doesn't smell strongly of SPF (which I normally hate). It also doesn't clog my pores and my acne is under control from it now." —TryphenaPrice: $23+ (available in three sizes) A zombie treatment mask to deliver scary good results — by that I mean a smoother and brighter complexion! It does look genuinely terrifying while you have it on, but no fear — you can wash it off in 15 minutes! It's simple to use: just mix the powder and activator and apply. Some reviewers say the scent is a little weird. That's because of the active ingredient called albumin — a protein made of amino acids derived from eggs. It helps moisturize your skin, but it doesn't smell very review: "I'm 39 and a mother of two, and as much as I'd love to get to the spa for treatments, I simply can't. I thought I'd try this product because why not? I've currently used two masks, and my skin is loving them. I've read complaints about the smell and the tightness, but the smell is NOT bad. And if you're expecting something to smell flowery, it could be counterproductive for this type of product. And as for the tightness in the skin, I love it! As soon as you wash it off, your skin feels soft and has more of a smooth texture. I'm sold! Customer for life." —Angel RoyalPrice: $16 for an eight-pack A Derma E Scar Gel that'll help improve the appearance of scars and soothe burns and tattoos. Packed with panthenol, allantoin, and onion bulb extract (don't worry — no weird smell!), this gel soothes and hydrates while helping to visibly smooth out lumpy or bumpy skin. Thousands of reviewers say it really works. Promising review: "I have used this product for three months now and have seen big difference! I used this on a brand new scar I had from a surgery, and try to put it on everyday but definitely not consistent with it yet. With that said, without using it everyday I have already seen redness go down and hope after using it for rest of year the redness will be gone! Highly recommend." —Cheyenne Cararo"This really works! I had a few spots on my face from blisters and one on my leg from hot oil. They have really faded in just a couple of weeks. It does not leave a greasy or sticky feeling on my skin. There is not much of a smell to it either. I will definitely keep a jar on hand and highly recommend." —Shelly BiddlePrice: $22.50 An Aveeno Daily Moisturizing dry body oil mist so you'll look like you've been on vacation in Capri, even if you've barely left your couch. This lightweight, non-greasy mist is powered by oat oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to deeply nourish dry, sensitive skin — minus the heavy, sticky feel. Reviewers say it leaves them feeling silky, not greasy, and smelling subtly fresh. Think of it as lotion's cooler, glowier cousin. Promising review: "I've tried so many lotions and body butters, but my skin never fully absorbed them—until this body oil. It soaks in perfectly, leaves no greasy residue, and keeps my skin soft and glowing all day. This is the only product that truly works for me. It's amazing!" —Aolani Bianca"To say I'm happy with this product is an understatement. Not only does it smell fantastic, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue on you or your clothes. My skin is already noticeably softer after only one use. Will definitely be a new staple for me!" —VictoriaPrice: $9.58 Eos' Shea Better body lotion in a sumptuous vanilla cashmere scent for self-care at its finest. It's impossible not to feel relaxed after slathering some of this on your body post-shower. It's moisturizing without being heavy or greasy — a flawless formula really. A CeraVe Eye Repair Cream to help deliver results you can ~see~ with consistent use — and by that I mean, the reduced appearance of puffiness and eye bags. How does it do it, you might ask?? A blend of moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid, brightening niacinamide, and the three essential ceramides that CeraVe uses in all their products to help boost your skin's barrier. Plus, you can use this gentle formula both day *and* night. Promising review: "I've been using CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream for over a year and still use the original tube I purchased. A little lasts a long time, and I only need a bit to apply to my eye area. Over this time, I've seen a huge noticeable difference in the dark circles and bagginess under my eyes. I apply it to my entire eye area — even on top. I have no adverse reaction, just a little tingling that goes away within a few minutes, and I have fairly sensitive skin. After moisturizing, it's the final step in my skin regimen, and there is actual brightness upon application! I use this at night only so nothing else goes on top of it, and it sits while I sleep and does the job. I realized the trick here is being consistent with it." —mktPrice: $14.44 A TruSkin vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and jojoba oil that'll help brighten dark spots and even your complexion in a ~mellow~ kind of way (you know, because some vitamin C products can sometimes sting). This one promises visible results with no irritation — and *tens of thousands* of reviewers say it truly delivers. An Olay Super Serum body wash so you can come out of the shower feeling like you've already moisturized — thanks to five key ingredients in the formula: niacinamide, BHA, collagen peptide, vitamin E, and shea butter. Reviewers say it smells luxurious (with notes of coconut, vanilla, and fresh florals), has a rich lather, and actually works well as a cleanser with some added benefits like helping to smooth dry patches and bumpy spots. Promising review: "I recently tried the Olay Serum Body Wash, and it's become my new favorite! This body wash is incredibly creamy, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It lathers beautifully and has a luxurious texture that makes every shower feel like a spa experience. I've also started using it for shaving my legs, and it's a game-changer—glides smoothly and prevents irritation. Five stars for this amazing product!" —Amazon Obsessed"I am obsessed with this body wash! I've had a hard time finding a body wash that works well and smells good all in one. This one is smooth, silky, and super hydrating. My skin feels soft right out of the shower and I don't get that tight dry feeling afterwards. Plus it smells so good like clean, subtle luxury! I've officially upgraded my shower game and I'm really happy to find a body wash that has it all!" —RebeccaPrice: $12.97 (available in three styles) Biodance's Bio-Collagen hydrogel mask for a self-care treat that lasts more than, say, 15 minutes. In fact, you're supposed to leave it overnight to really let the ingredients sink in and work their magic (although three hours is enough if you're in a pinch). The mask goes on like an opaque jelly and becomes transparent over time. You'll wake up to a plumper, brighter, and more hydrated complexion — thanks to collagen extract, niacinamide, and a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid that's meant to penetrate the skin more effectively. A Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant to unclog pores and brighten your complexion in a non-abrasive way. Reviewers saw results within *days* — and folks with sensitive skin say it's actually gentle enough for them. There's a reason this product is a consistent crowd fave. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum that, like the name suggests, applies like a serum, so it's everything regular sunscreen is NOT: weightless, noncomedogenic, nongreasy, and doesn't leave a white cast on skin. To summarize, this is the sunscreen for sunscreen haters. An Energizer Body Wash by Naturium so you can start your morning off on a high note — it cools on contact and has a zesty citrus scent to help you wake up in the shower. But the best part about this cleanser? It's formulated with mandelic acid and fermented sugar cane that help fight body odor so you'll smell fresh for longer throughout the day. Promising review: "Love love love. I unfortunately am someone who sweats a lot and always smells musty. I could take a shower and bathe everything and my armpits would still smell as soon as I got out. I typically put on deodorant several times a day to control the odors. However, since I have been using this body wash I no longer have these issues! I put on a natural deodorant one time a day and no longer still smell bad after getting out of the shower. This has been a game changer for me and is worth every penny. It does have a 'cooling' sensation to it so I do not recommend accidentally letting it get into your no-go zones because it will feel like a menthol rub for several minutes afterwards. 10/10 do not recommend that part. But I do recommend the soap itself!" —JOHANNA ARMSTRONG"I absolutely love this body wash! I bought the energizer variety/scent. It has a nice, mild smell, which is great for someone like me who is sensitive to scents. It leaves skin soft and clean-feeling. Best of all, I've noticed a huge difference in odor control. I smell better all day, even after a workout, than I ever have in my life! Really grateful I found this soap." —MonicaPrice: $15.99 Medicube's "Zero Pore" dual-textured toner pads formulated with AHA lactic acid and BHA salicylic acid for banishing excess oil and refining the appearance of your pores in a few swift wipes. One reviewer said this product was the key to achieving the coveted "glass skin" look, while many others said these pads didn't irritate their sensitive skin. A Medix 5.5 body lotion formulated with retinol (and raise your hand if you didn't know that retinol body products existed in general 🙋♀️) — an active ingredient that helps to resurface your skin and give it a plumper, smoother appearance. It also contains ferulic acid — an antioxidant that helps target sun damage — and vitamin E, which works to absorb and trap moisture into your skin. Who knew body lotion could work so hard? A pack of Peach Slices hydrocolloid nose patches that'll work through the night to absorb oil and dirt (that can lead to blackheads) from your pores while you sleep, probably dreaming of having low-maintenance skin. And when you wake up, get ready to be blown away by all the gunk that's been sucked out. A Gold Bond firming cream so you can give your neck and chest some much-needed pampering, because let's be real, our faces normally get all the attention (justice for necks!!). This nourishing yet non-greasy formula is designed to help improve the appearance of your skin's texture and elasticity. Many reviewers say it really does work as advertised (and they brought *receipts*). Anua's Heartleaf cleansing oil for effortlessly removing waterproof makeup and SPF while also clearing out your pores. The oil emulsifies into a milky texture when it comes into contact with water and easily rinses off. Many reviewers say they saw actual blackheads come out in the cleansing process. Like, wow. And Anua's Heartleaf Quercetinol Cleansing Foam with 0.5% BHA to complete your double cleanse routine so not a trace of mascara remains. It'll gently exfoliate without causing any irritation — thanks to the key ingredient heartleaf, which can help calm your skin. Bonus: it has a subtle, spa-like scent and a soft, silky texture that'll make washing your face feel like a treat. A Briotech spray that essentially does everything the popular Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray can do — reducing redness and rashes, calming eczema and psoriasis, and fighting acne-causing bacteria — for way less $$. That's all because of a magic ingredient called hypochlorous acid — which is naturally produced in our bodies by white blood cells, as part of the body's immune system to fight off infections and pathogens. Yep, so that explains its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Clean Skin Club's disposable face towels, if you suspect your regular face towels may be responsible for some irritation and breakouts. By switching to these soft and absorbent viscose ones, you won't have to worry about bacteria lingering on washcloths or staining your "good towels" with makeup. Reviewers say they're super sturdy and can even be rinsed and reused for other purposes, such as wiping down the sink. A First Aid Beauty body scrub for anyone struggling with keratosis pilaris, aka strawberry skin. It combines a chemical exfoliator (glycolic and lactic acids) with a physical exfoliator (pumice beads) for double the scrubbing power to help tackle any rough bumps and clogged pores. Promising review: "I usually do not write reviews, but I have to give credit when it's absolutely due. Recently, on my chest, I started getting the bumpy skin; I couldn't figure out what caused this; it looked like clogged pores. I tried doing a peel off mask, exfoliating with different products; picking at it (DON'T); nothing was working. After the FIRST use of this product, my chest and arms were sooo smooth and visibly clear. I couldn't believe how simple it was to get rid of a BIG insecurity. I mean, this was preventing me from wearing certain shirts. After the second use nearly a week later, it's completely gone. THAT SIMPLE. 😭😭😭 Buy it now!!!!!" —Serena ledayPrice: $12+ (available in two sizes) A pack of pimple patches that are basically tiny hydrocolloid bandages, which will absorb pesky zits, minimize their appearance, and help them heal faster. In my experience, these work best overnight on a clean face, but you can also wear them during the day if needed. Promising review: "I've tried different kinds of pimple patches, but this is the best overall. This is a bit pricy compared to other products, but it's worth it. I use this before bed when the pimple shows white pus. The next morning, it is absorbed in the patch and leaves the face clean. This is very effective when you use it at the right time." —Steve KPrice: $12.99 for a 36-pack An ~ink-redible~ octopus-shaped scrub stick so you can easily draw out blackheads and whiteheads. It's formulated with black mud, which helps to remove excess sebum and clean out your pores. It may look like a novelty product, but it's actually a little skincare powerhouse. Promising reviews: "I've literally suffered with blackheads covering my nose my entire life. They only went away if I got sunburnt, but nothing else worked. I just accepted my nose would forever be spotted. This octopus thing actually works, y'all! I have a spot-free nose for the first time in 32 years, and I've only used this thing twice. You can actually see the funk lifting out of your pores! I didn't believe it until I saw it. I plan to continue using every other day as instructed and will definitely be buying this again and again and again." —Mandy"I was truly surprised by how excellent this product worked after my first use. I can't see any blackheads on my nose, which was covered in them. I never expected to find a product that would work so well for blackhead removal that didn't involve something having to pull them out of my face. I also have issues that preclude me from getting a facial so I haven't been able to properly clean out all my blackheads in quite a long time. But it doesn't matter now because I have this product and it took care of it so well. It's small but mighty and will now be part of my regular skin care routine." —DeePrice: $12.50 A nothing-short-of-miraculous Bio-Oil reviewers swear by for helping scars and stretch marks fade faster. It's also just a great moisturizer for everyday use. It contains both vitamin A and E, which work together to help boost collagen, promote cell turnover, reduce the appearance of scars, and moisturize. I mean, this is the kind of versatile product I would want with me on a desert island. Promising review: "I ordered this oil to help [with] scars and stretch marks on my legs, and WHAT THE HECK?! It worked within two weeks! I had stretch marks on my thighs, which are now completely gone! I have a bunch of scars and dark spots on my legs, and they vanished! I put on the product just before bed, and it works like magic! It also smells amazing, and it's great for sensitive skin!" —MariaPrice: $6.99+ (available in three sizes) A Kojic acid soap bar formulated with vitamin C, retinol, and collagen to help balance your skin tone and correct dark spots. It also has hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, and olive oil, so it won't feel drying. It may look like just any bar of soap, but I assure you, it is not! Promising review: "I was asked by my daughter and husband on two separate occasions if I was wearing makeup (it was like after 11 p.m. and I was in my for bed). That's how smooth and even this soap has made my face look. I lather on my face (completely until my face looks it has a white mask on) with the bar itself and let it sit for about 2–3 minutes before I wash off with cool water. Just my routine." —S. ClemonsPrice: $14.99 for two A tube of Good Molecules Yerba Mate Eye Gel that, in addition to the main antioxidant-rich ingredient, is also formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to hydrate and reduce puffiness. Although we know nothing beats a good night's sleep, this product comes pretty darn close to helping you appear awake and ready for the day at 7 a.m. A pair of exfoliating mitts for thoroughly scrubbing away dead skin — you can literally see the bits roll off as you use it. Gross but satisfying. But the even more satisfying part is how baby soft your skin will feel afterward. Promising review: "I am genuinely astonished. These work so well. I have tried everything — prescription creams, lotions, other exfoliating gloves, sand, sugar, salt, specialty scrubs, and acids designed to exfoliate; you name it, I've tried it. Nothing has ever worked until now. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and many of us with this condition have skin that does not slough and exfoliate the way it should. It contributes to keratosis pilaris, ingrowns, and generally dry, flaky skin. My skin is so smooth and velvety soft for the first time ever. I can't stop petting my shoulders, arms, and elbows. Soft as a baby's tushy! Buy these. They're miraculous." —MavenofMusicPrice: $15.99 for two A bottle of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum to help your skin achieve that dewy, well-rested look. With *five types* of hyaluronic acid, this no-frills fan favorite helps to deeply hydrate several layers of your skin, while vitamin B5 helps boost moisture retention for a smoother, plumper complexion. Reviewers say it gives them a healthy, hydrated glow — without a hefty price tag. Promising review: "I've tried my fair share of hyaluronic acid, and this one has got to be in my top three. I absolutely love how moisturizing it is and the way it leaves your skin! You will 100% notice a difference immediately after use but with consistency, use twice a day after cleansing your face and before adding your moisturizer, your skin will look brand new and people will notice! So very happy that I discovered this brand! My skin glows radiantly after I apply this and it pairs well with my moisturizer." —JoliePrice: $9.90 How it feels when you find a skincare product that *works*:
