If it feels like you’re always unlocking some new level of body annoyance every year, I’m here to share the ultimate cheat codes.

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

The kit comes with ten toenail braces and the materials needed to apply them.

Promising review: "I never realized how curved and not-OK my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product did I realize that I had a major problem that could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H.

Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!

Promising review: "I bought this product to take on our vacation. I am so glad I did. I got burnt on my lower legs and tops of my feet. I thought I had put enough sunscreen on. I didn't. That night, I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on, I had relief. OMG, I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D.S. 

Get it from Amazon for $7.20 (also available in a pack of three). 

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 ey,e 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

"I think the Briotech spray is great. I bought it because I have sensitive skin and it was very irritated and red. When I used this spray, the redness went away and the irritation lessened. It seems to help heal breakouts, too. I like it for any burning or itchy skin problems. I will definitely buy this again." —grace cimilucca

Get it from Amazon for $8.01+ (available in five sizes and up to packs of four).

This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!

Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Base Laboratories is a small biz that offers aftercare solutions for piercings, ingrown hair and more.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has tested this herself and says:  "Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest, and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023, and around May, I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times, so the light bulb went off, and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day, and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic, within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare, and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming, cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. You do have to be patient and consistent, this is NOT an overnight miracle, but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life. I haven't had issues with my piercing since, and no more have grown."

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a pack of two or three and an option with saline gel).

Promising review: "I had no idea I would need the in-shower lotion and foot spray this much! Both are amazing, and their usefulness is immediately noticed during the first use!" —Johnny/Victoria Carn

Promising review: “This stuff works miracles. I have been dealing with a toenail issue for almost 25 years. I’ve been using it for two weeks now, my nail is night and day. Sooooo grateful! Trust it, it will work. Have patience!" —Aiy Gates

Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available with nail files, in a patch version and in packs of two).

Promising review: "I’d yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There’s no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It’s super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don’t need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." —Julie F. 

Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in four styles and in a pack of two). 

The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips.

Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients’ earwax impactions.

Promising review: "Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." —Tea

And don't feel limited to your feet — these pads can also work for warts on other parts of your body like your hands.

Promising review: "I had a hideous wart on one of my left toes that just wouldn't go away. I tried cutting it off and applying a peeling solution on it, but it came back with a vengeance. It was a cause of irritation and embarrassment that I couldn't even wear slides or flip-flops over the summer. Until I found this product. Without even a month of using these medicated pads, the wart is gone! I have no complaints about the adhesion because it was completely intact after 48 hours of putting it on, despite getting it wet a lot ( I shower twice a day). Within a week of using these, the tough top of the wart started to peel off with the medicated pad. I decided to continue using the medicated pad to ensure the roots of the wart go away as well. Now, there are NO traces of the wart at all! I am super happy about this product and recommend it to whoever needs to get rid of an embarrassing wart." —Elaine Corpin

Megababe is a woman-owned small business!

Promising review: “Works amazing. Doesn’t really have an odor and helps keep me dry and from getting rashes under and around my boobs from my bras and bathing suits. This is my second time purchasing this product an it will not be my last. I love that I’ve found this company that has such great practical solutions to many of my feminine issues." —JMJA Family

Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work, so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill

Get a 30-count pack from Amazon for $24.98 (also available in a pack of two 30-count patches or as a 15-count box).

You can grab a pumice stone or foot file on Amazon! 

Promising reviews: "I saw this product on TikTok. My feet were sort of rough and I used it as directed, and after four applications my feet are baby smooth." —Coresa

"Easy to use, incredibly effective, and did not irritate my skin. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have a scent. I have neuropathy in my feet from fibromyalgia and my calluses were deep into the layers of my skin on the side of my foot and the tops of my toes, right above the nails. I wasn’t sure if this product would help but I was willing to give it a chance. After one use, I was able to remove most of the calluses with little pain. I’m incredibly impressed with this product and would buy it again." —Steve Shepherd

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents, in a pack of two and a combo pack with a foot file).

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.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

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

Promising review: "This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" —Mona L Cureton

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a single option or in a pack of four).

Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical about this product actually working at first. I saw this on TikTok and started reading the comments, which were all positive reviews, so I decided to try. Let me just say I no longer have to awkwardly run to the bathroom after my fiancé and I do the dirty. This product works!" —brittany simmons

Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $26.69 (also available as a 10-pack).

Promising review: "I have used the Pilates toe corrector in studio sessions. I looked on Amazon to purchase one to use at home. This product is an economical substitute (no rhinestones!) and it does the job. My aging feet appreciate it!" —Amazon Queen

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 10-count box from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. 

Promising review: "I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok, and I figured I’d give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried multiple things, so I didn’t have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use it 1–2 times a week, but I use it usually every other day, and I use Cerave rough and bumpy lotion after, and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life-changing, and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" —Sidney

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes and scents that also includes unscented). 

This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.

Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately, not that heavy, but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave-in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days, but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. It can leave your hair feeling a little dry, so just use conditioner, and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff, I can confidently recommend this one." —Martin C. 

Promising reviews: "If you're someone who has sensitive skin like me, this product is for you! I highly recommend it. I learned about this product on TikTok and decided to try it out. It's worth the money. The smell is not overbearing, and it reminds you of a refreshing citrusy fruit. I'm very particular about trying skincare products, but this is your go-to. It will have your face feeling refreshed and clean, and there's no white cast." —Elisabeth L. 

"I love this because it’s inexpensive, effective, AND you get two of them in a pack. Will 100% buy again." —Mallory 

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.49+ (also available in packs of three, four and five, as well as with accessories like a bag or a soap holder).

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but I’m so glad that I purchased this. I finally cut my hair short after losing so much hair and thinning. I have a lot of spots where you can see the hair thinning, but this has covered it all. I bought the dark brown, and I put it at the roots. I’ve been so self-conscious for years using this product is helping me so much." —Wendy 

Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in 14 shades and three sizes). 

Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this? I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for weeks.... this stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" —Julia Richardson

Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you; this is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and peeling, I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you’re thinking about buying this… buy it!" —Jocelyn Nackley

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

Read more about how a lack of arch support can aggravate plantar fasciitis at the American Podiatric Medical Association. 

Promising review: "These are comfortable and provide good arch support. They a flannel-like lining on the inside that is very comfy. I have very flat feet and suffer from tendonitis, and I’m on my feet all day. I wore these for a couple of days (I walked 5 miles each day), and I felt like this helped to support my arches, which helped relieve my ankle pain and back pain. I can see myself using this while at home since we don’t wear shoes in the house here, just so I can get some arch supports. Great product. Thank you!" —Taratomo

Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. 

Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I’ve tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" —NaNaKeKe

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three versions and in a pack of two or three). 

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. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And, of course, my shoes begin to rub against parts of my feet, terribly. But I smeared this on, and it was amazing. I did have to reapply a few times a day, in public, but I highly recommend this!! I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a gift set).

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Negesti Kaudo uses this and says: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!"

Promising review: "Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can’t reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." —Paige Chaney

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors and in a waterproof version).

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

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 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. 

The formula is aluminum-free, so it won't stop sweating, but the tapioca powder can help absorb it.

Happy Nuts is a small business specializing in grooming products.

Promising review: "This stuff is 5–10 times better than regular powder! It instantly soothes irritation, deodorizes after a shower, and quiets the chafe after long sessions on the treadmill. I can't recommend it enough! Stop buying/using Gold Bond and other similar powders, and start using this. I'll be buying two more tubes in the near future." —Devin G.

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four scents, including unscented, and packs of two and three).

Promising review: "So glad I thought ahead to buy these before going to Italy. I had new fashionable shoes and low-cut socks, and we did 10 times more walking than I had anticipated. I tried the shoes on for an hour and got a blister. Wore these for 10 days in Europe and had zero issues, total comfort, and left them on for several days through showers. I’ll never travel without these again." —Paul Hinman

Get a variety pack of 12 from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in heel, spot, and toe packs).

Promising reviews: "I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair, and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming than shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month, and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems..." —In the know

"Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." —Megan Harmeyer

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes, as well as in a combo pack that includes a mitt).

Carpe is a small biz that creates sweat protection products for the whole body.

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 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 of 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 Lorenzo

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents and in packs of two or three).
