Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen! Promising reviews: "This actually works!! I struggle with hyperpigmentation. Bruises, bug bites, and scrapes all leave marks on my skin, but this product helps them fade away! I’ve been using this product since high school, and while it takes time to work, this product definitely has an effect over time!" —Lana "I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve ordered this 😭 MY HOLY GRAIL!!!! It REALLY helps with stretch marks. It’s so moisturizing that it makes my skin smile. My stretch marks faded as soon as I started using this. After my first baby, my stretch marks were very noticeable, but I swear that when I started using this, they almost disappeared. Well, they’re still there, of course; it’s not some magic eraser, but it definitely helped them look less noticeable by taking away the purple and pink in them. I’m pregnant with my second baby and I have used this since even before I found out cause I will continue to use this every day on my skin. My belly is super moisturized and I haven’t had a single stretch mark. I’m seven months pregnant and this is working great so far! HIGHLY recommend." —Alexcia Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "I get migraines almost daily and this little stick has been a lifesaver for years now. I make sure I never run out and have it on subscribe and save for a reason. I roll it on my temples, neck, and shoulders, and within minutes, the pain is gone or significantly reduced. For something that has no side effects and fits in your bag, it is incredibly effective. I honestly don’t know how I functioned before finding this. The scent is strong, peppermint-forward, and you will definitely notice it. Personally, I love it, but if you are sensitive to strong smells, just be aware going in. My only wish is that the bottle were bigger. For how much I rely on it, I go through them faster than I would like. That is truly my only complaint, and it says a lot that the biggest downside is just wanting more of it. If you deal with frequent headaches or migraines, this is worth every penny. It has been a part of my daily routine for years, and that is not changing anytime soon." —Ilya G Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (also available in a three-pack). Read our full Migrastil Migraine Stick review to learn more. Read more about migraine treatments at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "This is by far the best thing that has helped me with migraines. I have been getting terrible, terrible migraines for YEARS, and no amount of medicine or anything has ever helped. A friend recommended this product and, I kid you not, I have never slept more peacefully. I am a hot sleeper, especially when I get migraines, it's like heat x10, but I put this in the freezer (in the bag as instructed) and when I took it out it was freezing, which was perfect for me. I usually struggle so much due to heat, light, and noise, but this blocked all that. It slightly muffled any noises around me, completely blacked my vision, and cooled me down as well. I can not recommend this product enough. Whoever created this, you’re a genius." —Juliette Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five colors and two sizes). Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Let's be real, we spend A LOT of time on the toilet. As a matter of fact, I'm on the toilet right now as I leave this review! Nestled beneath my legs on the porcelain throne is, in fact, this very item. There it rests, like a peasant on all fours, and I, its mighty king. This product has changed my life, no longer do my abdomens strain to drop kibble for my toilet to eat, with this amazing device- it slips and slides its way out, so much so that my rugged and chiseled six pack of old is now a sizeable keg. Imagine if you will, 10,000 fairies, living within your bum, just guiding the little turd down their path with no help from you. THIS is the feeling you get anytime you pop a squat. This is Hermes of your rectum! The Santa Claus of your poop shoot! Magically guiding the children to the pool. This amazing product makes me wish I had two toilets in my bathroom so my loved one and I could sit side by side, holding hands as we release our waste in the bliss and euphoria it creates. 5 out of 5, only because 6 out of five chocolate stars were not allowed. Get yours today!" —THE HUG DEALER Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and two-packs). This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and application tools. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks. Promising review: "I have had ingrown toenail surgery three times!!! All times were extremely painful and expensive. When I had surgery, my Dr. placed a metal brace that was curved across my nail, but instead of being just glued to the top of my nail, it was tucked underneath my nail. So basically, a piece of metal was wrapped over my nail to stop my toenail from curving. After having this surgery twice, when my ingrown nail returned, I searched for alternative methods as I grew tired of surgery and bills. I found this and gave it a try. IT'S A MIRACLE! It worked!!!! I couldn't believe it. It isn't an overnight miracle solution. It actually took as long as it did with the metal brace method, but it was less painful and less obvious. I will say the first day of use, I could instantly feel relief in my nail from pinching." —CaliHills Promising review: "I went to doctors for this weird rash that appeared after I popped what I thought was an ingrown hair or pimple on my breast, and then it ended up spreading all over my chest and abdomen. One day, I shaved my underarms and got all of these extremely itchy red bumps all up and down my arms along with it. My mom mentioned that the little red bumps looked like folliculitis (she's had it before), but the ones on my abdomen, chest, and legs were almost scab-like and burned and itched so badly I couldn’t wear a shirt or bra. The doctor told me that it wouldn’t go away for about 6-8 weeks, and there was no antibiotic he could prescribe to clear it or provide relief. I purchased this item because I had run out of hope and seen the great reviews. After the first day of application, I kid you not, the itching was less severe, and the red bumps and scabby areas were noticeably smaller. It’s been two weeks since using this product and the scarring, red bumps, and scabs are almost completely gone. Something that should’ve taken two months to heal diminished in two weeks. I’ve been provided with relief and healing from embarrassing scarring. This balm is truly incredible! I would recommend it to anyone. It literally saved my sanity, and it’s all natural, which is even better. It is completely worth the price." —Amazon Customer 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 "I've been using these drops for a little over a year now, and let me just tell you it's because they WORK! I have had NO IRRITATION, with almost immediate results! The formula has a really soothing, moisturizing effect on my eyes within about a minute of the application of 1 to 2 drops in each eye. The cooling sensation takes effect, and then ANY redness is completely gone! The formula has a really great light feel to it, very similar to water that is gentle on even the most sensitive eyes! The product IS a bit pricey, but the results speak for themselves! My eyes don't look tired and stressed even after a long 12- to 15-hour day!" —Tony W. Promising review: "At 60 years old, I have tried SO MANY products...anything short of surgery to lift and tighten my face. Around the age of 57, my pores became larger and larger. I tried product after product and spent hundreds trying to find that fountain of youth. There is nothing like going into a store with salespeople younger than my grandchildren telling me what I'm doing 'wrong' with my skincare regimen. They had never seen a wrinkle in their lives. I thought I would give this face mask a shot. I mean, what did I have to lose? Immediate results! I couldn't believe it! My pores were small; my face was different... and in a good way. Lol. I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" —Judi Bragg Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $12.99. Promising review: "I'm in my early thirties and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! I've been struggling to fully remove the stones with cotton swabs, but I couldn't get rid of them, and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG...best 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 condition...trust me." —Wren Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two colors and a combo pack). 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 got 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, and 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 N. 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. A 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-fiving 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 and three). 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 popped 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 my 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 15-pack from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in packs of 30 and 60). 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 the instructions and gargle for about 30 seconds for the 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's all that counts. Thank you, Amazon!!!" —Shopper5 Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.77 (available in two scents and also in a pack of six). Intrigued? You can learn more by reading our in-depth TheraBreath oral rinse deep-dive. Promising reviews: "Literally the only toothpaste I use now. I cannot go back after using this. It makes my mouth feel so clean, without that spicy/burning sensation you get from other toothpastes. I have some moderate to major dental issues, specifically 'dead' teeth. It is what it is. I've been working to get it fixed, but my breathing isn't the best because of this issue. This toothpaste not only soothes tooth pain, but it also keeps my breath fresh for at least 4-5 hours! Amazing toothpaste, cannot wait to try more from this brand." —Jade C. "Please buy this. If you're reading this because you've tried everything, regular dental visits, consistent brushing and flossing, good oral hygiene, and yet you still find yourself constantly chewing gum or using breath sprays just to feel confident talking to people, then you need to try this toothpaste along with the mouthwash. I've struggled with bad breath despite taking good care of my teeth, and it was frustrating, always wondering if my breath smelled okay. Since using these products, my confidence has improved tremendously. I feel much more comfortable talking with my team, meeting new people, and, honestly, it has even improved intimacy with my spouse because I no longer worry about my breath. I wasn't planning on writing a review, but I know how discouraging and embarrassing this struggle can be. If you're dealing with the same issue, give it a try. For me, it was absolutely worth it." —Mel c. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.55+ (available in four formulas). Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have a hard skin problem on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is no longer rock-solid. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn’t matter if I wear socks all the time; I always get dry heels. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually, it takes me at least 15–20 minutes to achieve a soft heel. Enter this; it took me five minutes tops. I’ve never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than a professional pedicure. Seriously, so happy I found this." —Mickenzie Promising review: "I am so extremely oily. Have been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school, and I am still dealing with it in my mid-30s. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life-changing for me!" —Wow Read our Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer review (#4 on the list)! Promising review: "Holy grail concealer – a must-have in every makeup bag! I’ve tried countless concealers over the years, but the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser in shade 120 has truly earned a permanent spot in my routine. The formula is lightweight yet provides impressive coverage — perfect for hiding dark circles, redness, and even blemishes without ever looking cakey or settling into fine lines. The built-in sponge applicator makes it incredibly easy to apply and blend, even when I’m in a rush. I also love that it's a multi-use product — I use it to brighten under my eyes, highlight my T-zone, and clean up around my brows. It layers beautifully with foundation and powder, and lasts surprisingly well throughout the day. Bonus points for the added goji berry and haloxyl, which give it a slight skincare benefit. My under-eye area actually looks smoother and more awake after using it regularly. If you're looking for an affordable, dependable concealer that delivers high-end results, this is it. Highly recommend — especially if you're dealing with dark circles or just want a quick pick-me-up!" —Jody Boles Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 24 shades). Promising reviews: "I love this product! Whenever I have a pimple that is ready to burst (whitehead), I put one of these stickers on for a day, and BOOM, it flattens and sucks up all that yucky junk. It feels really comfortable and can be barely noticeable if you have a small pimple that needs to be removed. There were times when I wore these to school. Great product!" —Jenny "These are my favorite pimple patches. I've been using them for years and they always work amazingly. I've tried other brands as well, but I always end up coming back for these. I think they're absolutely worth it, especially for the price. I also have extremely sensitive skin, and these have never bothered my skin; they also get out super deep under the skin, like pimples. Sometimes it takes two nights of wearing them to get out the deep ones, but it always comes out." —Kayla Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $6.78 (available in other pack sizes). Promising review: "I had to take some time out of my day to sit down and tell you about this lotion because, holy moly. I have NEVER gone through a full bottle of lotion before. But this stuff??? Magic in a freaking bottle! I have been using this over the course of two years and I'm absolutely in love. It keeps my skin truly moisturized and doesn't leave an oily residue like most lotions. It really absorbs into my skin. I originally got this to help with my stretch marks from carrying my son, but one day I used it as a face moisturizer because I was out of my face cream, and I have been using only this since then. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't clog my pores, it doesn't make my face ungodly greasy. This stuff is literally a game changer for my skin!" —Chrystal W. Promising reviews: "I’m kind of obsessed with this stuff, I use it for everything. I particularly like it in the summer when I’ve been sweating and hot. If I spray this on my skin, I do not break out." —Mrs. Mom "I absolutely love this stuff! I break out so badly on my chest and back, especially in the summer when I have been sweating. This stuff has been a game changer for me. I spray it on anytime I have been sweating and every morning when I get up. I have noticed a huge improvement in my skin, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in four sizes and in one-, two-, and four-packs). Promising review: "Miracle worker! I've been battling acne-looking bumps on my arms, legs, and back since puberty, a decade ago. It was so bad that people used to ask what bit me whenever they saw my skin. Summers were the worst because there'd be bumps all over me. I was self-conscious about wearing summer clothes and swimsuits as a teenager and young adult, which girls are usually self-conscious about anyway. It sucked. Doctors said it was hormonal and would go away as I got older, which it hasn't yet. But now, I have found something that works. This stuff really does. If you follow the directions on the bottle and use it twice a week, your KP will go away. I'm not self-conscious about my skin anymore! After using this in the shower (I use it on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and using a lightweight, aroma-free lotion, my skin has absolutely cleared up in almost no time at all! If anything, I only wish the bottle were bigger or held more of the scrub. Because of how large an area is affected by me, I go through the bottle so quickly, and it's a little pricey to be buying every three weeks. If you're in the same boat as me, use it on your arms and legs for shorts and tank tops. Once swimsuit season is here, start using it on your back." —Haley Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes, three scents, unscented, and a set). Promising reviews: "This deodorant is amazing! I struggle with excessive sweating and often get patches on my underarms of my clothes, which causes me a lot of anxiety. This completely eliminates sweat patches after a few days of use, and reduces them dramatically on the first day! This is a total game changer for me — most products I’ve used for this outcome have caused me a lot of itching and pain in my underarms, but I don’t feel that at all, and it smells great too! Would recommend 10000%" —Mrs S "Dove Clinical Protection Deodorant has been a game changer for me. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, finding a deodorant that can keep up with me has always been a challenge. But Dove Clinical Protection has exceeded my expectations. Dove’s formula is also gentle on my skin and doesn’t cause irritation. The application is smooth, and I appreciate that it doesn’t leave any residue on my clothes. The subtle, pleasant fragrance is an added bonus, giving me a fresh feeling all day long." —MJ Get it from Amazon for $9.79+ (available in five scents, five sizes, and in multipacks). Promising reviews: "I'm absolutely in love with Lume Deodorant! I've tried every all-natural and clinical-strength deodorant over the years, but none has come close to the odor-fighting power of Lume. Lume truly lives up to its claims. It prevents odor all day long, even during intense workouts or hikes on hot summer days. I no longer have to worry about embarrassing smells. I have sensitive skin, and Lume has never irritated me. I appreciate that Lume uses natural ingredients and is free of aluminum, parabens, and phthalates. There are many pleasant scents to choose from, so you can find one that suits your preference." —L.A. Kuserk "This brand (all formats) is the best deodorant on the market. I'm so glad they brought back a vanilla scent. This really does prevent odor on all your parts. My sneakers used to have to stay outside on the porch until I started using Lume on my feet; now, there's no smell at all. I recommend this brand to people all the time. 6/5 stars!" —Ginger Redshoes Get a two-pack from Amazon for $23.15+ (available in 10 scents, including unscented, and in three-packs). Promising review: "Let me just say — Gas-X saved not only my stomach, but also my social life. Before this little miracle, I was basically a human balloon animal. Every meal felt like I was auditioning for a hot air balloon festival. One tablet later… silence. Sweet, sweet silence. No more awkward squeaks in yoga class, no more side-eye glances at family dinners, and no more blaming the dog (he’s very relieved, too). Gas-X works fast, is easy to take, and honestly should come with a cape because it’s a true hero. If you’ve got bubbles brewing, this is the peace treaty your gut (and everyone around you) desperately needs. 5 stars. Would buy again. My stomach and my reputation thank me." —Drea3132 I've always struggled with oily build-up on my scalp (genetics, I guess), but nothing has worked as well for me as this stuff! I usually use it every couple of weeks when I notice the build-up has started to get pretty bad. I simply use it in place of my normal shampoo, lathering it up and letting it sit for roughly 3–5 minutes before rinsing. One wash is all it takes to leave my hair super soft. I definitely recommend this as a clarifying shampoo for anyone with scalp issues! Promising review: "Excellent product. Has helped with my dandruff tremendously. Been using this for years now." —Jason V. "This stuff genuinely works. As someone who has suffered with seborrheic dermatitis for many, many painstaking years, this is the first shampoo I've used that has instantly removed the flakes from my scalp. Just from one use, letting it sit on my hair for maybe 5 or 6 minutes, then gently scrubbing my scalp with a pick, after my wash, the flakes had lifted visibly in my hair, and the few remaining flakes on my scalp lifted so easily just from regular combing. Zero irritation, no redness, no tingling, no pain. Wow. I can honestly say this may be the first time in 28 years that my scalp has felt 100% clean after washing due to stubborn seborrheic dermatitis. 100/10, this stuff works. Well worth the money, will be a lifetime buyer." —LB Get it from Amazon for $7.77 (also available in two- and four-packs). Promising review: "I had to review this product right away after dislodging two HUGE balls of wax from my son’s ears. We used the drops three times over the course of two days, and right after the third application, we decided to try flushing the ear out with the bulb. I used warm water and gave a few really good squirts, and lo and behold — a huge ball of wax popped out! I couldn’t believe my eyes, and I couldn’t believe how much wax was in his ears!! The other ear had an even bigger ball of wax. It was sooooo gross, but so satisfying to see it cleared out. He joked that he feels lighter. I hardly ever leave reviews, but I feel passionate about Debrox! I will preach of its powers to all that will listen!" —Rollsy All you need to do is gently brush the gel onto your teeth (after brushing and flossing!) and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Repeat this morning and night for a week to get the best results. Promising reviews: "Throw your expensive Crest Whitestrips away! Being the son of a dental hygienist, clean, bright white teeth have always been important to me. Though I had my reservations about the whitening pen, it certainly didn't disappoint and works far better than the Whitestrips I've been using for the last several years, not to mention it's a much better deal for your money. I'm a total coffee connoisseur, which has always made having a bright white smile all the more challenging, but the Pen is giving me the upper hand." —Franknsd "We like these better than Crest Whitestrips and for a fraction of the price! The Crest Whitestrips make my teeth way too sensitive. These work JUST AS WELL and no tooth sensitivity." —Travis Sheveland Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in two- and four-packs). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine, and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager and squeeze the bottle, because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson." Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about this product, but now that I’m in my 30s, I definitely am prone to a headache after wine, and I was hoping to avoid that. I tried this out a couple of times now, and I can say I feel much better in the morning. I had a girlfriend try it, and she felt the same way! Besides the fact that you have to put stuff in your drink when you’re out, which can feel kind of weird, I would highly recommend it for people who love wine but hate the headaches!!" —Meghan Eileen "These drops changed my life. I used to turn bright red and blotchy with one sip of wine. Now I can drink two full glasses without any problems! I also use them with other alcohols, like cocktails. Doesn't work quite as well, and I have to use more drops, but it definitely helps. Life changer. All my friends now buy it too!" —Penelope Hsu Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in multipacks). Check out a TikTok of the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray in action. Promising review: "Wow! Finally, a product that actually works!! My hair is coarse and gets extra frizzy in the hot, humid summer weather. I was resorting to pulling my hair back all summer until I found this product! It makes my hair soft, silky, and sleek. No frizz. Not heavy. It doesn’t really have a scent, which u prefer. The only thing is to make sure you pay attention to the directions. This product requires heat to make it work. You must blow-dry your hair right after application. Once you follow the instructions, voila, the best hair you’ve ever had!" —Andrea N Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).
