35 Products That Work So Well, I Want You To Try Them
A Bounce wrinkle release spray in a convenient travel-size bottle, because who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for anyone who wants to define their curls without spending a ton of extra time. Just scrunch this through wet hair and then air-dry your way to perfectly wavy strands.
A Pikk-it tool that'll remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Also, cleaning your cleaning appliances is a level of adulthood most never reach in their lifetime. Proud of you.
An extremely visually pleasing foaming drain cleaner — it foams up like a can of forbidden Reddi Whip to blast away blockages and eliminate odors (although please resist the urge to eat it). If you're looking for an even deeper clean, let the foam sit for 30 minutes before rinsing away.
Or a not-for-the-faint-of-stomach FlexiSnake to unclog any of the many drains in your house that are filled with hair. It's also weirdly fun to operate: just place it down the drain, give a spin with the handle, then remove the hairball that was making your shower take 30 minutes to fully drain.
The beloved Hard as Hoof nourishing cream made with beeswax and jojoba oil to condition brittle nails and cuticles (on your fingers AND toes!) and have them looking as shiny and fresh as they did before that gel manicure did its damage. It's designed to sink in quickly (a rare feat in the world of cuticle oils) and it also smells like coconuts. I probably should have led with the coconut part. 🥥 🤤
And Nails Inc.'s Glow and Grow is currently trending for its foolproof, super sheer hint of pink that dries in just 45 seconds. Yes, you read that right, it dries in less than a minute. You can use it as a base coat or apply two or more layers to build up the color, and it's also meant to help strengthen your nails with repeated use. Oh, and the cap doubles as a mini manicure station, which is just plain adorable and practical.
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, because your décolletage also deserves some special skincare attention. It contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while glycerin and aloe add some extra hydration. Some reviewers say they've seen moisturizing results in as little as 10 days. You may be sad you didn't buy this 10 days ago, but now is better than never.
A handy dandy condiment fork, which is one of those "do I need this?? Yes, I extremely do" kinds of purchases. It has a convenient holder that wraps around a jar of olives or pickles (or any other jarred foods), so you always have a fork handy when the snack cravings strike. And we all know reaching down into a pickle jar is one of the top 10 worst sensory experiences.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion — it's one of those iconic skincare holy grails that should be in your bathroom cabinet at all times. The pink calamine sediment at the bottom might make you tempted to shake it up, but resist that temptation!! Instead, place a cotton swab in the jar to scoop up some of the sediment, then apply it to any pimples that have come to the surface. The salicylic acid and sulfur blend will help dry out those breakouts while you get some beauty sleep.
A laundry soap station so you can wave goodbye to lifting that ridiculously heavy value-size detergent bottle every time it's time to wash a new load (which feels like it's every five minutes 😩). This props the bottle up into the perfect position to get every last drop, and the spill-catcher tray means you won't have to deal with any more detergent drips landing on the floor.
A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — they're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface. Many reviewers say they're practically undetectable and adhere much better to the skin than other brands. Plus, your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it!
A pair of handheld scrapers that will make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. It's gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, this won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces.
The TikTok-famous Pink Stuff cleaning paste — which will take your sink, furniture, and tiles from grimy to shiny with the help of a little elbow grease. This will tackle basically any mess that pops up, so be prepared to congratulate yourself for buying it after every kitchen accident or arts and crafts mishap.
The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer) but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract.
An over-the-drain hair catcher to collect all your loose strands in a tidy pile that's super easy to clean up. Reviewers say the silicone material helps keep it in place, and the drain holes are just big enough to let water through — meaning you won't be standing in a puddle of water by the end of your shower.
The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that'll have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 on those busy mornings when you need to look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. It's meant to blend seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles. Btw, it now comes in four shades!!
Conair's The Knot Dr. smoothing dryer brush — a multitasking miracle that combines a paddle-style hairbrush with a blow-dryer. It has two heat settings (and a "cool" option), and you can even snap the brush head off and use it as a normal blow-dryer before you get to styling.
A reusable gel lint roller that's a major upgrade from the traditional sticky rolls that require approximately 10 sheets just to clean one shirt. Just pop open the cover and roll it over any garments that need a good sprucing up, then give it a quick rinse, and it'll be ready to use again!
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray — it's so effective that you'll remain suspiciously calm the next time your tot's chocolate milk makes its way from their sippy cup to the couch cushion. Or when your glass of merlot faces a similar fate. Just spray, blot, rinse, and pour another.
An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great cleanser for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes!
A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds!
A ridiculously helpful eyelash comb that solves one of the biggest beauty dilemmas: what do I do when my mascara clumps?! Put down the makeup wipes — this helpful little comb will remove the excess mascara and separate your lashes at the same time. It's also perfect if eyelash curlers make your lashes look smushed together.
An all-natural oven scrub made with gritty pumice stone, so you can really go to town on that pizza that exploded and left a mess everywhere. It'll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on the racks — because, yes, those need cleaning, too.
Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that's basically like a latte for your face. It uses the power of yerba mate to soothe the delicate skin under your eyes, caffeine to help brighten, and three forms of hyaluronic acid to moisturize. I did not know there were several types of hyaluronic acid, but I would now like to collect all of them like Pokémon.
A nail renewal treatment to help reverse any damage done by fungal infections, so it's essentially time travel in a bottle.

Just apply twice a day for the first week, then once a day until your toes are looking good to go.
A pair of stainless-steel tongue scrapers for anyone who has googled "why does my breath stink so much?! reddit" a few too many times. This has a super convenient dual-handed design, so you can easily reach to the back of your tongue and then pull forward to evict the nastiness that's living there rent-free.
A bottle of hair-building fibers to temporarily fill in bald spots and add some volume to thinning hairs. In the words of this reviewer, "WHAT IN THE HAIR SORCERY IS GOING ON?!" The sorcery in question is the tiny fibers made with follicle-mimicking molecules that grab onto your hair strands and make it look like you took a magical overnight hair growth serum.
Veet's sensitive hair removal gel that's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back!
A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence with 96% snail secretion filtrate to give you a ~glass skin glow~ that'll have you feeling like you dropped money on an expensive facial. Reviewers mention seeing a reduction in dark spots and acne with consistent use, and even people with oily skin find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't clog their pores.
A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that 35,000+ reviewers swear by. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands, while rosemary and coconut oil can help nourish and moisturize the scalp.
A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. One reviewer even said the results are comparable to Crown Affair's $40 hair oil!
A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that's been clogging up your ear. Just apply five to 10 drops to your ear, keep your head tilted for several minutes to let the carbamide peroxide loosen your hardened ear wax, then flush away any remaining wax with warm water in a bulb or syringe.
A piercing bump solution formulated with jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help keep any annoying keloids at bay! It can help shrink bumps and reduce scarring by promoting skin cell turnover and adding an extra dose of moisture.
A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that's a major upgrade from other harsh formulas you may have tried in the past. Some callus-removing products will make the surrounding skin feel dry and irritated, but this one includes a healthy dose of glycerin to help soften and hydrate.
