"Game changer, " "smells AHHH-MAZING," and "a calming drink of water for angry skin" are some of my other favorite quotes from reviewers.

Nivea recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

The high-density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies. 

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Promising review: "I will shout this from the rooftops: This is hands-down the BEST stain remover for clothes! As a mom to a messy, fun-loving 2-year-old boy, I’ve seen my fair share of stubborn stains. From food to dirt, this miracle spray gets everything out. I try to spray it on as soon as the mess happens, and I haven’t had a single stain it couldn’t handle. I recommend it to all my fellow mamas! I even use it on our adult clothes, and it works just as well — with zero skin irritation. Total game-changer!" —Megan Mullis

Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three sizes and multipacks). 

Promising review: "These are awesome. My daughter throws everything in together (🙄), and these color guard sheets have kept her lighter color clothes from getting dingy. I use them when I’m washing something new that’s very colorful with other clothes in the same color family, in case there’s any dye bleed. It’s amazing how well they work. I’ve used two at a time before, depending on how worried I am about colors running. They’ve come out of the wash a very dark gray, showing me what a good job they’ve done. If, after a wash, I have one that picked up little to no color (nothing bled in the wash), I just set it aside to dry and use it the next time I need one. I take them when we travel in case I want to wash more things together than I would at home. It’s a time saver by doing fewer loads and also a money saver if I’m at a laundromat. I only use cold water or the lowest warm water setting when I wash things that might bleed." —MamaBear63

Promising review: "I need to write things down in order to remember them, so I need a weekly calendar that isn't too big or too small. I have tried smaller ones, and the sticky ones work, but I don't have a computer monitor to stick them on. I don't like to spend a lot since it's mostly going to be thrown away. This calendar is perfect so far. It has enough room to write down scheduled stuff, but also to add weekly to-dos or reminders. You can set up the reverse side for more days. The paper is nice and thick enough that what I wrote with a Sharpie S-Gel pen doesn't show through. I like it so much that I got another one. You should be able to get at least 2 years' work if you use both sides of the pages." —L W

Tibet Almond Stick is a small business based in Illinois.

Promising review: "I recently got these Tibetan floor wax sticks, and they're like magic wands for your floors and furniture! Got a scratch? No problem. Just wave one of these sticks over it, and voilà — scratch be gone! It's like having a tiny wizard in your cleaning arsenal. These wax sticks fill in scratches on the floor and furniture like a charm. My floors and furniture look brand new, and I didn't even have to cast a spell. Highly recommend!" —b4komer

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had it for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love this mascara! I’ve used the 'best of the best' designer, super hyped, ultra-popular mascara available, and NOTHING compares to this stuff! I don’t even bother using a lash curler anymore! I buy two at a time, so I always have a spare. (Yes, it’s that good!!) I highly recommend this particular mascara...it goes on effortlessly, it lasts pretty much all day, and the price — I feel like I’m almost stealing it! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —chulaboola

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review — I highly recommend reading it!

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this mascara and says: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."

Southside Plants is a woman-owned small business that was founded in Fort Worth, Texas, by plant-lover Meg Renninger. They create everything from their own potting soil to fertilizer spray.  

Promising reviews: "I love these wipes for my fiddle-leaf fig tree. The wipes are scentless and have a good texture for getting the dust and grime off the leaves of your plants. They’re really convenient, and the packaging is pretty! Highly recommended." —MP

"These are amazing, and they look and feel like they should be more expensive, LOL. There are a ton of wipes, and you could honestly cut them in half and do two plants. They stay wet for a long time, so you could wipe each leaf and it will still be damp. I usually wipe with pest prevention spray every six months or so, but this helps keep them clean in the meantime, and the ingredients are actually good for the leaves. Just get it; you'll love it!" —Luke

Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. Gann

Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall, even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it, and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." —Lynda L.

Promising review: "I don’t know why someone didn’t think of this. I love it when my parents are jealous that they didn’t have something when I was a baby! It’s very convenient when we are traveling and don’t have time or an opportunity to wash bibs! The cost is worth the reward. It protected my little one's clothes and the sizing matches with him and can help as he grows." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this product in a two-pack for my T-shirts because I hate folding and putting laundry away, and thought it would be a more convenient way for me to keep my clothes organized, and wow! When I saw how durable and well-made they were, and how much space they saved, and how easy they were to use, I bought more! They were also a great value for the money, and I was able to just walk into my closet and see all my clothes, so they were all visible as soon as I opened my closet, no more searching through drawers. The next two packs I bought, I even used to hang my hoodies; these things are super durable and sturdy. I highly recommend these little darlings for anyone trying to get organized." —Sissy

Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" —Thia

Promising review: "This ampoule is a lifesaver for sensitive or irritated skin. The texture is watery and lightweight, so it absorbs quickly without leaving any stickiness. It instantly calms redness and adds hydration, making my skin feel soft and refreshed. I love that it’s a simple, clean formula with just centella asiatica—perfect for layering with the rest of my routine. The bottle is generous in size, so it lasts a long time, and the price is fantastic for the quality. A must-have if your skin needs soothing and barrier support." —Tracy

Get it from Amazon for $14.88+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

Promising reviews: "This device is amazing and works excellently and quickly!! I no longer have to get my vacuum out to give the couch a good clean to remove the cat hair. Since they discontinued the Pledge pet hair rollers several years ago...I have been searching for something similar. This device works in the exact same way, but you can empty the hair once it fills up, and you don't have to re-buy. I put off buying one of these because of the price, but finally decided to just get one. I love it!! Used it over every fabric surface I could find! A must-have if you own pets and fabric couches." —Christina Federspiel

"Having two dogs (beagles), there are days when I sit on the couch and get up looking like Bigfoot. Even after we sweep, the dogs roam through the house, determined to undo anything that has been freshly vacuumed. I was kinda skeptical about how well this would work, but it’s honestly amazing! On furniture, this picks up hair better than the plug-in vacuum. We’ve had this for a year and would absolutely buy another one if we needed it!" —Mark B.

Promising reviews: "My sandals were awfully tight on the top of my feet. I tried everything before finally finding this spray. Nothing helped; there was no relief. Then I tried this spray, and it moved heaven and earth, and now my sandals are perfect!" —Swissharpist

"I injured my foot a few months back, and most of my shoes don't fit. I've tried stretchers, hair dryers, wearing several socks — everything. I bought this stuff, and within half an hour, my problems were solved. Try this method first." —Susan Olson

Promising review: "I'm in the process of weaning off vaping and need something to fidget with while I'm working. I've purchased at least five different things now, as each one only seems to take my mind off cravings and keep my focus for less than a minute. First time I opened it, I didn't think it would hold focus as there's not a lot of different movements; however, every time it's in my hand, I've absentmindedly messed around with it for almost 30 minutes every time. Absolutely LOVE this thing and definitely recommend!" —Rose L

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

Promising reviews: "The smell of this is very similar to one of my favorite discontinued scents. It pairs well with Fresh and Cozy from EOS and has an aquatic scent that reminds me of the air around you when you are swimming in a rainstorm. It's great for a clean but sweet everyday fragrance and one that I keep reaching for daily. I plan to buy a backup bottle of this, and for the price, it's worth every penny." —bre

"This is the closest scent I’ve found to Phlur’s discontinued scent Hanami. It’s sooo good. Clean and slightly warm/creamy smelling. Hard to describe, but it’s amazing." —EG

Promising review: "I'm an avid traveler and about a year ago I finally bought my first hardside luggage. I got a gorgeous Samsonite set, which got lots of compliments in airports and hotels. However, I'm a 71-year-old woman, often travel alone, and the clamshell style simply didn't work for me. Whenever I wanted to pop a bag open to grab something, the lid, packed with clothes, was sooo heavy, I couldn't hold it up with one hand while digging with the other.. I had to find an area large enough to allow me to open the bag all the way...laying both halves flat...to retrieve any of the contents. When I checked my bag, it was a few pounds over, and opening it and pulling a few things out was a nightmare in the crowded airport. Couldn't use the luggage stands in the hotel rooms, had to put my bags on the floor or lift them onto the bed in order to open them all the way. I didn't enjoy sitting on the floor digging through my bags, nor do I like putting luggage on the bed after it's been in the belly of a plane and on various shuttles. This Hanke just went with me to Mexico, and it was way, way easier for me to manage!! Nothing I don't like about it, and I'm once again able to lift the lid easily whenever I need to get inside. I love the nice neutral grey-beige color. The handles and the wheels work smoothly and feel like decent quality. I really didn't want to have to buy more luggage, but I'm so glad I did. I started with a larger bag, loved it so much, I just got the carry-on for my trip in January. The carry-on has a compartment in the front for my laptop. Great luggage!" —GlamGalLovesStuff

Get the 20-inch carry-on from Amazon for $149.59 (also available in 16-inch, 24-inch, and 26-inch sizes and seven colors, and with or without a laptop compartment).

It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and more.

Promising review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MC

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49.

Promising review: "I swear by this. Been using it for about a year now, it goes on every day and gets all the redness off my face, when I’m in a hurry I just top it off with a little powder and I’m done but it’s a perfect base layer for any makeup routine if you had a lot of redness like I do." –Andrea

Get it from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "Smells AHHH-MAZING! This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering, so just a light, fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down, and then hung the towel up. The next day, I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning...it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting grime and grease, though. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean, shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles, so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" —Joshua Hornish

Promising review: "We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit several games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and then put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." —bradfieldfamily

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in a notebook size). 

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly, and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

Promising reviews: "This is my go-to soy sauce for sushi and all Japanese dishes. The depth of flavor from aging in oak barrels is obvious, as is the nuances in the flavors, compared to the sauce aged in stainless steel. I always have a bottle in reserve." —CN

"A few years ago, a food blog evaluated soy sauce brands and put this one on top. The usual Kikkoman is fine, but this is better. I gave it a try, and... Well, now Amazon reminds me that I've purchased this product four times already. That says something; it's not like I go through soy sauce that fast. As artisanal products go, this is affordable. It's worth the experiment!" —Esther
