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

Promising review: "Hate dragging out the old hotel iron and board, so I just spray my wrinkled clothes with this, and viola! Takes the wrinkles out, and off I go — no wrestling while putting the iron and board away. I even have a small travel iron or use my hair styling irons if I want a better finish, but this usually does the job nicely." —Audie

Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom, plus a little of the shower, with one pen. It is pretty forgiving, and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. Very happy with this product!" —Jenelle

Here's what one of our BuzzFeed Shopping writers, Emma Lord, has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! 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'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Promising review: "Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner, and it had to be a stainless-steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use, and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling that brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" —jordanlauren

Promising review: "I’ve tried a bunch of teeth whitening products in the past, and they’ve always left my teeth feeling sensitive. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a whitening product and was skeptical to try another one, but after searching around, I decided to give it a try, and I am happy to say that I have not felt any sensitivity at all! The instructions say to use it 2x a day, but for now, I’m just using it 1x a day as I want to see how my teeth feel and adjust. I’ve been using the product for about a month now, and I have been able to see some results, but only after I took a photo did I realize it has been working so fast. I have pretty white teeth, so I’m pretty amazed at how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." —Adam
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33 (available in two sizes and various packs).
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
Promising review: "This sunscreen stick is a game changer for busy days. It’s lightweight, doesn’t leave a heavy white cast, and layers perfectly over makeup or moisturizer. The stick format makes it so convenient for reapplying throughout the day without getting your hands messy. I have sensitive skin and experienced no irritation at all. Only small downside: it’s a little hard when cold, so warm it up slightly between your hands if needed." —R.C.

Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This eye cream is amazing! I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and I’m already seeing a difference. The cream is lightweight and smooth, not greasy at all. It absorbs quickly into the skin, so I don’t have to wait long before applying makeup or going to bed. It really helps with puffiness and dark circles. My under-eye area looks more refreshed, and the bags under my eyes have definitely reduced. It also feels really hydrating, which is a bonus. I love this eye cream! It works well for puffiness and bags and leaves my under-eyes looking brighter and smoother. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable, effective solution!" —J Ogilbee

Remember to mix this concentrate with water before using!
Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55

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

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

It's intensive stuff, so the brand recommends using this just once a week. But don't worry about over-drying your skin — the formula includes aloe and coconut oil to hydrate and soothe.
Promising review: "I've used foot mask booties in the past that take a few days to work and then your feet are peeling for days which is a bit unsightly. I bought this spray based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. A few spritzes and some gentle massaging with a non-abrasive foot file and the results were astounding. I can't believe how much skin came off and how smooth my feet are after no more than five minutes." —Brenda W.

Promising reviews: "This is my holy grail cleanser. It’s gentle on dry skin and made a huge improvement when struggling with acne. Rub it in your hands with a splash of water and it foams up really good. Love the feel, the lack of fragrance, but mostly the end result." —Jean
"I've struggled with incredibly sensitive, acne-prone, and textured skin for a lot of my adult life. I'm allergic to SLS, so finding a cleanser that doesn't cause perioral dermatitis is difficult. I stumbled onto this cleanser via TikTok (I wish I was kidding) and bought this in conjunction with CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream and, LET ME TELL YOU, these products have become holy grail skin care items for me. Prior to this, I was using homemade soap and an exfoliating mitt to wash my face, but my skin would quickly develop uneven texture in between exfoliations. This cleanser makes my skin smooth and it doesn't irritate it. My breakouts are already a lot smaller and I've noticed a huge difference in the overall appearance." —C. Hallgrimson
Get it from Amazon for $13.93+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect – true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don’t dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." —Tzippy M

Promising reviews: "I have had chronic dry lips for 14 years... After using this for 8 days, my lips have never been healthier. I no longer have dry flaky skin on my lips every day. This has been a miracle and has somehow healed my lips from chronic flaky/dryness. I don't need to have this actively on my lips to reap the benefits. I have been putting it on before bed and 1–2 times during the day for over a week now... and my lips genuinely seemed repaired rather than masking the dryness with Vaseline, etc. This is now a holy grail product for me and will continue to buy this!" —McKenna

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Plus, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." —Diane J. Huff
