BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-09-09 05:03

1. A pack of healing patches for that cold sore that popped up out of left field. These help relieve pain, reduce blistering, *and* prevent scabbing. Plus, they're infused with hydrocolloid gel to speed up your skin's healing process, so you'll be photo-ready before you know it!

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

2. Nivea's lightweight toning gel that's packed with Q10 to help plump, firm, and moisturize skin around your thighs, butt, and stomach. It quickly absorbs into your skin and feels cooling, so applying it will feel luxurious and not cause you to stick to your bed sheets post-application.

www.amazon.com

The brand 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

Get it from Amazon for $16.65.

3. A manual flossing toothbrush with regular and longer, thinner bristles designed to reach under the gum line for a deep clean. It can help remove stubborn food particles, like lettuce, popcorn, and sesame seeds, to leave your pearly whites for good after a solid brushing.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "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."

Promising review: "I absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long, like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush, and this blows it out of the water. Don’t hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" —Amy

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99.

4. A fungal nail renewal treatment that works to reduce discoloration and thickness while also hydrating and exfoliating brittle-looking nails so they look (and feel) healthier overall. Reviewers say it's not an instant fix, but with consistent use, it does deliver noticeable results. Just apply it with the built-in applicator twice a day for a first week, then once daily after that — and let the ~glow-up~ begin.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot 

Get it from Amazon for $26.97+ (also available with a nail file).

5. A pair of Nippies because they've got the perks of a bra without the uncomfortableness of one. They're designed to be reusable, nonslip, and provide some lift. People will be floored (and jealous) that you're not dealing with straps digging into your skin. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison

6. An ear-washing bottle to finally rid yourself of that wax buildup that a Q-tip is not gonna get out. Just fill the bottle with an ear-cleaning solution, twist on a disposable tip, and squirt the solution into your ear. Reviewers said it was comfortable to use and even improved their hearing!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Talk to your ENT to see if this is right for you before using.

Doctor Easy is a small biz 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: "This product is awesome and completely exceeded my expectations! We have been struggling with excessive ear wax build-up with my 4-year-old son and we tried everything else and he would cry and scream if we did anything to his ear. It took two tries but we got all the impacted earwax out. The first time I used water and apple cider vinegar and the second time just warm water. Both methods worked equally well. I tried it myself and it feels a little weird but doesn't hurt. My son doesn't mind doing it and watched TV the whole time. Would definitely recommend this product for young children!" —Alix H.

Get it from Amazon for $31.95 (Psst — Here's a bottle of ear drops from the same brand!).

7. A Dermora exfoliant foot peel if you have cracked heals, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your feet. So just slip on these booties for an hour and watch your feet shed within the next 6—11 days. You'll be GAGGED at how much skin comes off, but you'll be equally satisfied with your baby smooth feet.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This foot peel is THE TRUTH and got my feet right and smooth as butter! I’ve never done a foot peel in my life and so I had a lot of hard skin under my foot to get rid of. I followed the instructions on the box, and decided to put on the foot peel on right before bed. You can feel the peel tingling and working while you have it on your feet so I felt relief. It took about three days after I did the peel to see the results starting. Do not get discouraged if you see peeling only at the toes. That’s just the start of it...cause the next day I felt the mid of my foot arch bubble after my bath and a whole piece of skin was peeling. This peel did its job and some more! It has my feet feeling baby smooth and gave me a feeling of being in a salon without the polish. It felt good to pamper myself. This is my go-to from now on, when I want a good smooth foot AFTER a pedicure (because a pumice stone can’t do what this peel can)!" —Shopinista

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents). 

8. And a foot file that has been dubbed the "cheese grater" for your feet, thanks to its heavy-duty stainless steel design that shaves off calluses like it's on a mission. One use and you'll be staring at your baby-soft soles with heart eyes. 😍

www.amazon.com

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 a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this; it took me five minutes tops. I’ve never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously, so happy I found this." —Mickenzie

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

9. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads with concentrated salicylic acid to help get rid of plantar warts fast. The one-step pads last for 48 hours, so you can put them on and forget about your wart until it needs a new pad!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed...It felt like I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it and on a whim tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.24.

10. A jar of ~Wonder~ Balm for those body problems that can pop up like jock itch, athlete's foot, or your classic dry, itchy skin. The formula is packed with 10% tea tree oil, so it'll provide powerful yet gentle relief to the problems affecting your overall comfort.

Promising review: "I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I’ve seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They’ve prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I’ve even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I’m talking itchy, like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I’d do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well, but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can’t seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I’m so glad I did." —Jackie

Get it from Amazon for $36.32.

11. A stainless-steel tongue scraper because your teeth may not be the reason your breath stinks... it could be your tongue. 😳 This little gadget can help freshen your breath in SECONDS and turn the white, grey, or yellow tint on your tongue *back* to pink. You may notice your S.O. wincing less when you say, "Hhhhi, hhhhow are you?"

www.amazon.com

Dr. Tung's is a small biz that makes breath-improving dental products.

Promising review: "I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I'd tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in packs).

12. A collagen-coating hair treatment to nourish your damaged hair from hot styling tools or over-processing from harsh treatments like bleach. The blend of collagen and ceramides will help your hair feel smoother, stronger, and shinier in a matter of five minutes. 

www.amazon.com

According to reviewers, this mask works on fine haircurly hair, and type 4 hair.

Promising review: "Can't say enough good things about this product! I was going to wait until I got paid to buy the Olaplex Professional 4-in-1 Moisture Mask (for $70+), but then, after seeing all the good reviews, I decided to try this, and I am so glad I did! I think this actually works even better, and for $8, you really can't go wrong. I have no idea what sorcery is going on in Korea, but they really know what they are doing. My hair is pretty damaged and my biggest issue is it getting tangled and breaking in the shower. Even after the first use, I noticed my hair being softer and smoother and the broken ends being less noticeable. I'd say that nothing else I've tried has made my hair look this good, and after using it for a week, the results are even more noticeable. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a good hair mask!" —Katie

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

13. A facial hair trimmer if your nose or ear hair is overgrown and you want to *painlessly* remove it. The duel-edge spinning blades with a protective cover will quickly trim hairs without nicking you in the process. Plus, it's waterproof, so it's easy to clean!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can also use this to remove excess hair around your eyebrows and beard. 

Promising review: "I got this for my nose hairs. I was really worried it would pull or pinch my hair, causing pain and watery eyes, but to my surprise, it didn’t pull or pinch at all. It is easy to use and does a good job." —Jamie

Promising review: "Once I hit my thirties, I noticed more little nose and ear hairs that need to be dealt with — UGH. This product is PERFECT for dealing with them. Works great, and because of how it's designed, there's no risk of cutting yourself. I also like the weight of this trimmer — it is sturdy and doesn't feel cheaply made." —Patrick F

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).

14. Or, a nose hair wax kit so you can rip your nasal jungle out at the root and leave you wondering why you ever settled for tweezers in the first place. It comes with enough wax and applicators to tackle multiple nose hair invasions (and even ear ones too). Just melt, dip, stick it in your nostril like a brave soldier, and yank when the time's right. You'll probably feel like you can smell colors after this, tbh.

www.amazon.com

The kit includes 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 15 paper cups.

The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out any harmful debris. But of course it's your body and if you want to wax your nose hairs you're more than welcome to — just be careful as plucking nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs.

Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

15. A bott of Bio-Oil that can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars and even skin tone and hyperpigmentation, thanks to its blend of oils and vitamins. Reviewers say that it's the best oil on the market because they noticed visible improvements, it sinks into the skin without any sticky feeling, and a little goes a long way (aka, you won't fly through the bottle)

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used, it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I’ve been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it’s made such a difference! It’s basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." —sarah_baerah

Get a bottle from Amazon for $11.12 (available in three sizes).

16. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty if you're tired of spending so much time in the bathroom and running out of reading material. This stool props your feet up so you're in a more natural squatting position, which can help certain things (💩) leave your body much more easily.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." —P.W.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a teak wood version for $50.99).

www.amazon.com

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 B

Get it from Amazon for $24.99

Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.

www.amazon.com

Each box lasts two months, btw.

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-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

20. And some bra liners if your commute to work, walk outside, or errands caused you to break a sweat — and your shirt is making that obvious. These seamless inserts go between you and the underwire of your bra, so not only do they make you more comfortable, but they also catch any sweat rearing its head through your nice dress shirt.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" —Niko

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in three colors). 

21. A pack of 24 corn remover pads so you can get rid of these annoying growths without doing any dirty work. These 'lil medicated miracles are packed with 40% salicylic acid, meaning you'll get fast and effective relief. They're cushiony, discreet, and way less dramatic than trying to carve off corns with a pumice stone at 2 a.m.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I get corns on the bottom of my foot. This has been going on for 30 years. I’ve tried all the pads sold in drug stores. None of those are anywhere as good as this brand. They stick to the skin very well, and the medication really works on the corns and the thickened skin around them. Well worth it." —Al Symbal

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in larger pack sizes).

22. A bottle of ingrown hair oil with jojoba, tea tree, and grapeseed oils designed to be applied after shaving or waxing. It can help reduce redness and soften and smooth skin, and reviewers say it can even help prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas.

Promising review: "I have literally tried everything to prevent razor burn for the past 10+ years and nothing worked. I tried products, preshave routines, post-shave routines, every kind of razor // shaving cream combination you can think of, etc. and despite all my efforts, money and time, I still always had razor burn. that all changed last week when I tried bushbalm for the first time. I cannot believe how well this stuff works. I never write reviews, like this is literally the first one I've ever written, but seriously if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real. I'm so happy I finally found something that works and hope this review helps someone else avoid an expensive and painful ten year battle to find a solution to their razor burn problems!" —Katie

Get it from Amazon for $26.

23. A toenail brace for anyone who's this close to scheduling an emergency toe amputation (please don't). These tiny, transparent strips are like personal trainers for your toenails, gently pulling those sharp, rude corners up and away from your skin so you can walk like a human again (instead of wincing like a Victorian ghost). No need for a scary podiatrist visit or medieval foot tools — just file, glue, stick, and let the brace do its thing.

www.amazon.com

The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs.

Reviewers swear it starts easing pain in days, and full correction happens over time.

Promising review: "I never realized how curved 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, and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails, that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H.

Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99.

24. An exfoliating scrub mitt that'll leave you shocked with how much dead skin comes off your body. Not only will you feel squeaky clean stepping out of the shower, but your skin will feel so soft and smooth, too. Reviewers gush that this also helps prevent ingrown hairs and reduces keratosis pilaris!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? Everything other customers are saying about how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about six weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" —Kindle Customer. g'ma

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a set of two).

Londontown is a small biz, btw.

Promising reviews: "Highly impressed and satisfied with purchase. I've been a nail biter my entire life. I recently stopped biting a little over three months ago, and while I've been pleased overall with the growth, I've found that my natural nails have many imperfections. For instance, I have splinter hemorrhages, as well as white horizontal lines (aka Beau's lines) on every single nail on all 10 fingers, and the tips are transparent. But this polish literally disguises all of that. I'm so so grateful to have found it." —Kourtnee amos

26. The internet-viral Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask that peels off like a thin, satisfying layer of skin — kinda gross, but totally worth it for the glow it leaves behind.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've always dealt with acne on my back and sometimes on my chest. After I found this body wash my skin changed for GOOD!!! It's acne-free and very soft I don't need to use any other exfoliant. Note: In winter I used extra lotion after this body wash (CeraVe as well) because my skin tends to dry a lot." —Noe8890

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

28. Or, a First Aid Beauty KP body scrub with chemical *and* physical exfoliators that'll help dry, patchy, or bumpy skin feel baby soft — even newborns would be impressed! Reviewers say this is helpful for keratosis pilaris and other skin conditions.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Amazing! I am so happy to say this product is a game-changer! I have always been so embarrassed by the extremely red and bumpy skin on my arms above my elbow. I've tried tons of products with zero sign of improvement. I always moisturize daily, and nothing has ever helped. I have used this product two times, and the skin on my arms is almost all the same color, and the bumps are gone! I could cry. I am so grateful for this product. It doesn't have any kind of smell, which is perfect cause I can pair it with any moisturizer I like." —Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $22.50 (available in two sizes and three scents).

29. A set of Mighty Patch hydrocolloid pimple patches you can stick on pesky pimples that ~rear their (white)heads~ on your face — these can help suck out the gunk, flatten them, and help prevent picking (which could be why some of your zits linger). They work in just six to eight hours, so you might just forget you even had a zit in the first place!

www.amazon.com

Check out why BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Samantha Wieder swears by this: "I [get] hormonal acne — it's just something that I have come to terms with and will have to deal with for many more years to come, and while it's not fun, these acne patches make it sooo much easier. When I have a pimple about to come to a head, I pop one of these babies on it before bed and then peel it off along with all the gunk it pulls out. It definitely helps speed up the process, and they're gentle on my sensitive skin!"

Promising review: "These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won't come to a head. I've tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple of days of wearing the patches, but it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus, the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.” —snowmentality

30. O'Keefe's Working Hands Cream that'll make your crusty, cracked hands feel like they just got back from a spa weekend. If your hands are drier than your love life during Mercury retrograde, this highly concentrated, no-nonsense miracle worker is here to save the day. It's unscented, non-greasy, and so hydrating that your palms might throw you a thank you parade.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hand Cream, and within two and a half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy, but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once it is applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth, and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream; it has ended years of splitting and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.

31. The ultra-hydrating Jack Black lip balm if you're someone who has *chronically* dry lips — this green tea and vitamin E–infused formula will instantly moisturize your pout. Reviewers agree that it works when other balms haven't, and one says it even "trumps" brands like "La Mer, Chanel, and Vaseline." 😱 

www.amazon.com

While this does give your pout SPF 25 protection, AAD Guidelines suggest a product with SPF 30 or higher for full coverage. 

Promising review: "This is truly a miracle product that provides intense moisture every time that I wear it." —Elizabeth W

Promising review: "My lips were fried from the Florida sun, and I tried many different brands. Finally found one that works. Try it, you'll be glad you did." —Grammy

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six scents).

32. A teeth-whitening pen for lingering coffee, wine, tea, smoking, or soda stains that have taken a toll on your pearly whites. Just apply it twice daily for 30 minutes to see the best results. Its soft tip brush and formula are also good for people with sensitive teeth!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95 (also available in packs of one and four).

33. A Tonymoly blackhead scrub stick designed to target excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads. Apply it in circular motions to wet, clean skin, and rinse off with warm water to help clean your clogged pores.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have very oily skin and breakouts in my T-zone area. The pores on my nose are always clogged and visible. I use this product after I apply my moisturizer and before I put on my makeup. I dab just a very tiny amount all over my chin, nose, forehead, cheeks, and jawline. It spreads out well so a small amount goes a very long way. It leaves a very soft texture on my skin. Great for a primer. It keeps the oil at bay. My makeup goes on smooth and stays that way throughout the day instead of getting all blotchy due to the oil that usually comes through. One container will last you a very long time, so it's definitely worth the cost. It doesn't really have a scent. Tony Moly products never disappoint and this one is no exception. I highly recommend if you need a product to control your oily skin." —Lindsey Ramey

Get it from Amazon for $17.

34. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller to soak up the excess oil you can get on your face from just simply going about your day. ~Roll~ this over any shiny spots and watch them *POOF* out of existence. Say bye-bye to blotting sheets and powder since there's a new (and faster) oil controller in town!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again!

Promising review: "I was shocked! This actually works. It takes the oil away without distributing the makeup. Game changer for me. I don’t know why I didn’t know about this sooner." —Lesa A.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

35. A piercing bump solution if your new cartilage piercing created a little bump that won't stop growing. This will help reduce and heal the keloid before it gets any bigger so the focus stays on your slay piercing, not the keloid that came with it.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Of course, this is not an overnight miracle product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results!

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

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has used this and here's what she has to say: "Oh! BTW, I bought this. 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. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me, it's such a life saver. 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." 

Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
