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

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

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.

7. A Dermora exfoliant foot peel if you have cracked heals, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your 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

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

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

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

www.amazon.com

According to reviewers, this mask works on fine hair, curly 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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." 😱

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

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

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.

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."
