Hey, I noticed the hope leaving your eyes — here are a couple of things to help bring it back.

by Divinia Tarin BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

1. Buf-Puf's facial sponge for a gentle exfoliation that'll send all those dead bits of rough, dry skin dulling your complexion running out the door. Simply pair it with your fave cleanser, and it'll help draw out dirt, makeup, and oil — leaving your skin feeling SO soft and ready for the rest of your routine (seriously, your products and makeup will apply *beautifully* after)! Even reviewers with sensitive skin swear by it, saying it truly helped reduce texture and breakouts.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this product years ago and had the most amazing skin, but I assumed it was mostly genetics. Now that my skin is showing signs of aging, I decided to give it another try — and I’m so glad I did. My skin is transforming daily. They say your skin can rebuild itself, and it really does — especially when you remove the buildup of dead skin cells. I’ve been using it morning and night, and I genuinely look younger. My skin feels polished, my pores are noticeably smaller, and I need much less makeup. Such a fantastic product — highly recommend!" —Sweet Caroline 

Get it from Amazon for $4.66. 

2. Some minty teeth-whitening penscapable of bringing a little bit of sparkle ✨  to your pearly whites if toothpaste and mouthwash alone aren't giving you the dazzling white you want. The narrow tip design makes it easier to really get in the grooves of your teeth (unlike Crest Whitestrips, which can slip and slide and hit your wallet a little harder). Also, reviewers say they're sensitive-friendly with quick results!

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 $14.49+ (also available in packs of four or individually).

3. Nivea's Skin Toning & Firming Body Gel-Cream you'll realize was SO worth adding to your routine when it only takes about a minute day and night to get jaw-dropping results. This has a delightfully lightweight formula and long-lasting hydration, but the real star is ⭐️ Q10 ⭐️, which can help firm up skin! Reviewers say this is one of those trust-the-process products, because with consistent use they've seen smoother and tighter skin in their neck, thighs, stomachs, and more.  

www.amazon.com

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 can benefit 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 $15.19.

4. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that'll help you look more refreshed and alert when life's got you tossing and turning all night long. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter, it's got a hydrating, oh-so-creamy (nongreasy!) formula that blends like a dream, lessening the appearance of dark circles and helping to give you that "I slept eight hours last night" look. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five shades).

5. And Good Molecules' Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel for something that won't just cover dark circles, but (according to reviewers) can help reduce them. This lightweight formula combines soothing ingredients like caffeine and yerba mate with hydrating hyaluronic acid to help give a boost to dull, tired eyes. Night owls, say hello to your new skincare staple. 👋

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in packs of two and three). 

6. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment if your hairstylist introduced you to the magic of Olaplex and you're trying to recreate that feeling without salon-level prices. This is a deeply hydrating formula with ceramide 3 and collagen that can improve hair texture and strength — helping to give you that healthy, shiny, and soft look you're searching for. Plus, it'll only add five minutes to your routine!

www.amazon.com

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a-4c hair mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong and silky after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.99.

7. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads, beloved by reviewers for the way they help reduce the look of pores, lessen sebum production,*and* improve skin texture. These AHA and BHA-infused pads are double-sided, so you can choose whether you want to add some physical exfoliation with the textured side or just pat in the formula with the smooth one. Side note: they're also one of the top-selling products in Amazon's "Beauty and Personal Care" section right now, so they must be doing something right. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L

"What is this miracle in a jar?! The way my skin is so smooth right after the first use is [wild]. I will buy these for the rest of my life as long as I am breathing. This is now my FAVORITE skin product besides my sunscreen. Love, love, loooove" —Ryan M.

Get a 70-pack from Amazon for $15.12 (available in five other styles).

8. The reviewer-beloved Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil — if you haven't jumped on the double-cleansing train, it may be time to see why practically everyone on the internet swears it totally transformed their skin. Using this before a water-based cleanser can help free your pores from all the makeup, sunscreen, oil, and dirt they've held onto throughout the day (giving you an extra ~clean~, non-stripped feel). As an acne-prone girlie, adding this step to my routine has truly helped clear up my breakouts and lessened the amount of blackheads I have (as much as I admire their... grit... they've got to go). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I've tried out a couple of cleansing oils as an acne-prone, oily skin gal, and this is the one that earned its permanent place in my routine! Some have caused my skin to break out, and others have been too thick, but this one is the *perfect* consistency to actually get in my pores and draw out the gunk lurking in there. The first time I used it, I massaged it into my nose for a few minutes and got those bits on my fingers like the reviewer above (which is SO satisfying), and though it's not like that every time, it has truly helped with the size of my pores and leaves my skin feeling so soft, hydrated, and free of any makeup (ready to be followed up by a cleanser)! And when I've ever dared to doubt its power (when I ran out, or was lazy and skipped the step), I definitely saw the difference in my skin's texture — so it's here to stay for me! 

"I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. This is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! It also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" —Sarah Coleman

Get it from Amazon for $17.

9. A fungal nail renewal treatment when you've tried just about everything else for your toe troubles. This uses a combo of active ingredients (urea and lactic acid) to help exfoliate skin and reduce the roughness, thickness, and discoloration caused by fungus (all while helping strengthen the skin barrier, too!). Who knows — with results like these, you may even be *excited* to wear those strappy sandals again!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about 3 years. I’ve been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It’s pretty much gone and it’s been less than two months. Buy it and don’t think about it! You won’t regret it!" —itslilac

Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available as a two pack, a set with nail files, and in a nail patch style). 

10. Plus, a tiny toenail brace designed to help lessen the curve of ingrown nails growing all wonky. Just adhere the tiny strip to the top of your trouble toenail, and it'll do all the work of straightening it out for you! Lots of reviewers saw a change and felt less pain within a few days, and I can almost *feel* that relief scrolling through their images. 😮‍💨 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks.

Promising review: "I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall, especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I’d put a bandage over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don’t have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so, and this one was the best way. It does take some practice, but once attached, it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I’m a month in on the most severe toe, and no more ingrown toenail!" —Sandra L.

Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

11. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream if you're getting the sense that your neck and chest are starting to get just a *bit* jealous of the five-step routine you're lovingly applying to your face every night. This non-scented, non-greasy formula is infused with salicylic acid (gentle exfoliation!) and can reduce the look of crepey skin by helping with firmness, texture, and elasticity. Plus, it also contains glycerin and aloe, which add a boost of hydration, too! 

www.amazon.com

Reviewers are also super impressed by how fast it works! 

Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. 

Promising review: "This cream has tightened the skin around my neck beyond my expectations. I’ve been using it daily (morning and evening) for over two months and still have product left. I’ve even tried it on my face and it gives me a bit of a 'facelift.' I’m officially a Bond girl. A bit sticky to the touch after a few hours of wear, but that doesn’t bother me. Will order again." —AP Wang

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available as a three-pack).

12. Or an Eight Saints Firm Intentions Neck Cream, aka a miracle in a tub for folks (especially those with sensitive skin!) wanting to reduce the look of fine lines and texture on their chest and neck. It has a luxuriously rich consistency that absorbs nicely, and is packed with peptides, vitamin B5, and hyaluronic acid to help deeply moisturize and soften skin. Many saw results in just a few weeks!

www.amazon.com

Eight Saints is a small business that specializes in skincare products. 

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of all things Eight Saints. I have sensitive skin, and this is the first skincare line that I have seen results in my skin texture and fine lines while not triggering my eczema. When I saw they added this neck cream to their product line, I knew I had to try it. At 39 years old, I've noticed some loss in firmness of my skin on my neck, and when I wake up in the morning, I have wrinkles on my decolletage from side sleeping. I started using this about a week ago, and I've already noticed improvements in the fine lines on my neck, plus when I wake up in the morning, no more wrinkles on my chest! It's so smooth, thick, and creamy, but rubs into your skin with ease, and it's so hydrating. Top quality product again from Eight Saints!" —Ms Leach 

Get it from Amazon for $34. 

13. A neck and shoulder relaxer if hunching over your desk for eight hours a day in a position that could only be described as "🦐" is starting to take its toll. This ergonomic foam gives your neck the space to stretch out, which can help relax your spine and provide maaajor tension relief. Reviewers swear by it for helping reduce shoulder pain, stiff neck, or even just being the perfect 10-minute break during a study sesh. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic.

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

14. Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot" for next-level, rice-based exfoliation that'll gently remove dead skin and leave your complexion oh-so-radiant and glowy. The internet-beloved K-beauty formula is packed with ingredients that hydrate your skin while removing blackheads and sebum, helping reduce the appearance of texture, enlarged pores, and dullness. One reviewer says it left their skin softer than after a facial (!!), so if you're allowing the internet to influence you to try out one product today, this may be the one!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callus on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in five other formulas).

15. A Briotech spray with the same superstar, bacteria-fighting ingredient as the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray, hypochlorous acid! This do-it-all staple can help sooth skin (aka redness and irritation), reduce the appearance of acne, *and* fight odor caused by sweat — all without drying out sensitive skin. It's as great for post-workout as it is forfighting off toe fungus, according to this reviewer.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I developed hormone-induced perioral dermatitis on my fave for the second time in my 30s. It does not go away or improve w/o intervention. Unlike the first time, I didn’t want to use a topical steroid, etc, because I’m currently breastfeeding a newborn, so I decided to give this a try. It improved my symptoms after a couple of weeks of daily 1x–2x use, and by the fourth week, the dermatitis was completely cleared! Holy grail skincare product." —Lydia

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and in two- and four-packs).

16. A sulfate-free, rosemary and biotin shampoo that leaves reviewers with soft, healthy-looking locks and has even helped strengthen strands and reduce the amount of shedding for some within a few months! It also creates a refreshing, cooling sensation that one reviewerdescribes as the feeling of having tiny fairies with cool hands give you a head massage, sooo I'm sold. 🧚 

www.amazon.com

Talk to your doctor before using this product if you're experiencing hair loss. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

Maple Holisticsis a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. 

Promising review: "Best purchase decision I have ever made when I purchased a bottle of the biotin shampoo. I have struggled with bald spots and thinning hair for years and was in the process of planning on getting surgery this fall. After using the biotin shampoo for three months, my bald spot is no longer visible and my hair is thick in growth. I am no longer have anxiety going to a barbershop. This is a miracle product. I am thankful I tried this product before doing surgery because it would have been a waste of my money." —Ainsley C.

Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in five scents, four sizes, and as a two-pack). 

17. Orrr Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, which you may have seen the internet raving about (for good reason!). Though reviewers suspect it may have a bit of real magic sprinkled in, it's actually just a rich blend of biotin and essential oils (like castor, jojoba, and coconut) that can help deeply hydrate the scalp and smooth split ends. After incorporating this into their routine, some people saw less fallout *and* more hair growth (OK...maybe it IS magic).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. 

This oil is designed for all hair types — reviewers with straight hair, along with 2a–4c hair have mentioned it works for them! Reviewers love it for eyebrows, too. 

Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" —Claire Blanchard

I hardly write reviews but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this...hats off!!" —Dee 

Get it from Amazon for $9.94.

18. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner you'll want in your arsenal ASAP, because is there anything it can't do?? Yes, it can help smooth out skin texture (perf for acne or KP!), brighten your complexion (great for dark elbows!), and reduce redness and clogged pores... but it can ALSO help soothe dry and irritated scalps and be used on your underarms to help reduce odor! The Ordinary once again proves you don't need to overspend for effective, reliable skincare. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of a dermatologist explaining the different ways this can be used! 

Promising review: "My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in two sizes and as a pack of two). 

19. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder if it only takes a 10-minute walk outdoors to turn your dewy look into one that has a *little* more shine than you'd like (hello, my fellow oily skin folk 👋). Just a lil' dab of this lightweight miracle worker will leave you with a semi-matte finish that lessens the shine but leaves behind a silky, non-powdery glow. Oh, and I hope you're not too attached to your pores, because this is basically a blurring beauty filter IRL. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

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

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available as a refill, keychain case, and in a kit with a lip balm, also soldseparately). 

20. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash you'll love because it adds zero extra steps to your routine — just use it in place of your normal body wash! It's a godsend for all-over skin issues that may be plaguing you, like rashes, acne, and dry skin. The coconut, olive, and jojoba oil work ah-mazingly to deeply hydrate your skin, and the added peppermint basically gives your whole body the feeling of chewing gum and taking a sip of water (SO refreshing).  

www.amazon.com

Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: "I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it’s made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" —Blackburn's

Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (also available as a two-pack and in four other scents/styles, including unscented).

21. Mouthwatchers' flossing toothbrush reviewers love for leaving their mouths with an extra deep-clean feel, and can also be an upgrade to your oral routine if splurging on an electric toothbrush isn't in the budget right now. The soft, layered bristles are thin enough to reach those nooks and crannies between your teeth that regular ones can't — which'll help further reduce plaque buildup! Though it doesn't replace flossing (sorry), reviewers say it leaves their teeth feeling (and looking!) much cleaner than their previous toothbrushes! 

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.

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga had this to say: "I personally use this toothbrush and have been telling everyone in my life to get it — it's a game changer. I've always been prone to plaque build up and it's been very hard to get my teeth feeling fresh-out-of-the-dentist clean, but this toothbrush has done the trick! The first time I used it my mouth actually hurt a little like when you get a full cleaning done. It was kind of incredible. The bristles are super soft and not irritating but somehow, magically, deep clean my teeth better than any toothbrush I've had before."

Promising review: "It’s so much easier to get around all sides of the very back teeth than with the bulky electric. I love the way it makes my teeth feel afterward. It really does feel like you’ve just left your dentist." —Vicki Perkins

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack and as a travel toothbrush). 

22. A CND Essentials nail and cuticle oil for anyone dealing with dryness or a major case of can't-stop-picking and wants to give their hands some TLC. This blend of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E smells *so* yummy and can help soften cuticles, hydrate and strengthen your nails, and increase growth. Reviewers say it works quickly and has saved them from constant tearing, peeling, and cracking! 

www.amazon.com, Karly Jacklin / BuzzFeed, Karly Jacklin / BuzzFeed

The images on the right are BuzzFeed Shopping resident writerKarly Jacklin's hands — they used this for a month and say they saw some "wild" growth! 

Check it out in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month, religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

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

23. A bottle of Lumify Eye Drops that'll help brighten your eyes in *one minute* and helps reduce redness so well, it's left reviewers feeling shocked, amazed, and downright flabbergasted. Just because we were up all night scrolling doesn't mean we want to hear the "you look so tired!!" comments (jeez...). 

www.amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for$11.93. 

24. An ear washer bottle because as good as cottons swabs feel, the way they're just pushing wax further in is... not so great. If you're wanting a truly satisfying clean, this gently sprays a solution into your ear that flushes out excess buildup. Disclaimer: only use if you're prepared to reveal the chunks lurking in your ear that reviewers have described as "almighty" and "more terrifying than the IT movie."

www.amazon.com

The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Using it is simple: Fill the bottle with your preferred ear cleaning solution, attach the disposable tip, and then spray the cleaner into your ear. This will loosen up wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear! Also, If you have any concerns about using this, make sure to talk to your ENT! 

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

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

Get it from Amazon for $31.95. 

25. Or an earwax removal kit so you can unearth some seriously GNARLY (but oh-so-satisfying 🤭) globs from the depths of your canals. This gentle formula can help soften and loosen the excess wax sticking around and causing that stuffy ear and muffled hearing. Do y'all remember that scene in Breaking Dawn where Bella wakes up as a vampire and can suddenly hear cars from miles away? It's like that... kinda. 🧛‍♀️ 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

To use, squeeze 5–10 ear drops in each ear then flush with water using the provided bulb syringe. Lots of reviewers suggest letting the drops soak in your ears at a 90-degree angle for up to 30 minutes for best results. 

Promising review: "All that was inside my ears…. oh my god. I feel like a new man. I had a hard time hearing and really bad ringing in my ears forever, but flushing my ears out with these drops revealed why. I’m still in shock from how it felt to have and see all that leaving my ear canals, but I’m so glad I got these. $8 to help your hearing… don’t worry if you don’t see results until the fourth day. I thought most of it was out by then cause there was a minor amount of wax leaving my ears, but today, the last day, I realized there was so much more. It was really freaky but now I’m listening to Kid A by Radiohead and it’s like hearing it for the first time. Everything is truly in its right place." —Gabriel

26. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap if you're looking for a low-effort solution for hyperpigmentation in your underarms, face, thighs, and even bikini area. These bars are packed with ingredients helpful for skin restoration, like turmeric and retinol to help reduce scarring, and shea butter and hyaluronic acid for moisture! Many reviewers have replaced their soap and cleansers with this one or incorporated it into their routine a few times a week. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" —puppbear

"I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." —Michaella Leyein

Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I’ve tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" —Katie_0_Baker

Get it from Amazon for $11.70+ (available in six shades, packs of two, and as refills).  

28. Plus, a L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover-Up Spray because paying for touchups in this economy? Nuh-uh. With just a few spritzes in the morning, this'll cover up any spots where your natural color comes through, helping your hair look fuller and more evenly toned! Reviewers say it's fast-drying and blends well with their natural hair, so nobody will eeever know. 🤫 

www.amazon.com

That said, gray hair is gorgeous, so let those silvery strands shine! At the end of the day, it's whatever makes YOU feel best.

Promising reviews: "I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but I love this stuff. I’m 37 and just started noticing some grays. This stuff is great and looks natural. The smell is fine, just buy it, totally worth it." —Kimberly Keough

Promising review: "Life saver. This stuff is amazing! I am 35 and 75% gray. I’m not ready [for the fully gray look] so this is my holy grail between colorings. It is easy to use and covers well. I even use it to spray my part or the sides of my head where you can see my scalp when I wear my hair up (makes it look thicker). My hair is very dark but not black. I started using the dark brown but found that the medium works nicer for me. The only word of caution is transfer. Day to day wear is fine, even sleeping with it in. I’ve gotten splashed pretty heavily in the pool and had no problem, but one day when it was 1000 degrees and 100% humidity in FL I put my sunglasses on my head and then back on my face and got brown dye all over my nose and cheeks 😬 I did have a ton of product in that day so there’s that…" —Kristin E. 

Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 12 shades and also in a two-pack).

29. Mighty Patches, a holy grail skincare essential folks keep on hand for those unexpected zits that like to pop up riiiight before a big event. These hydrocolloid patches draw out the gunk overnight, protecting it from irritation and helping speed up the healing process! The results are equal parts gnarly and satisfying. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These are thin enough that you can wear them during the day without them being too obvious, but they also make an Invisible+ Patch if you prefer! 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."

Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets!

Promising review: "These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." —Chris C.

Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a pack of 72). 

30. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches that won't pull at and irritate your skin like those charcoal strips, but instead gently draw out and absorb oil, helping reduce the appearance of breakouts and pores overnight. And if you still doubt the power of hydrocolloid or you're worried the results won't be as satisfying, just scroll through the reviewer images to see all the gunk they've gotten out. 👀

Peach Slices is a part of the skincare company Peach & Lily, which was founded by celebrity esthetician Alicia Yoon. It prioritizes vegan beauty products and recyclable packaging. They plant a tree for each order and have sent some proceeds to Restore NYC since 2016. 

Promising review: "It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." —Jack Sawyer

Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.88. 

31. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair because sometimes our go-to lippies are no match for the *intense* dryness we experience this time of year. Reviewers with extremely chapped lips have slathered this repair treatment on at night and woken up free from peeling, cracks, and inflammation (ouchhh). And with how much balm you'll be using this season, now you can save your glossier, vanilla-tasting products (like the Eos lip butter — so adorable) for the daytime! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

And if this weather is leaving you dry, dry, dry, this brand also makes the cult-fave Working Hand and Healthy Feet creams! 

Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams

Get it from Amazon for $11.25 (also available as a two- and four-pack).

32. Some wart-removing pads that's been reviewers' Hail Mary for those persistent lil' troopers that the duct tape method, freezing, and even professional removal can't keep off. These medicated bandages are infused with salicylic acid, which slowly but surely penetrates to the "root" of the wart — all you need to do is reapply a pad every 48 hours and let it work its magic. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" —K Pic

Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $6.96. 

33. A tonsil stone remover because, surprise (!!), even if you're brushing your teeth, flossing, tongue scraping, AND swishing mouthwash, you may still have bad breath thanks to these calcified bits. This kit includes everything you need to evict them from your body, including an LED handle to light your way and a syringe to flush everything out. Human bodies are so fun, huh?

Amazon, www.amazon.com

As with all medical-related products, you may want to give your doctor a call before using this. 

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 with cotton swabs to fully remove the stones but 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 $9.93+ (available in blue and yellow and a two-pack). 

34. An exfoliating mitt so you can literally see the satisfying bits of dead skin scrubbed off your body, helping improve skin texture in a way that using a loofah or washcloth alone never could. With just a few gentle scrubs a month, this'll leave you with much smoother skin, and it can help reduce ingrown hairs and KP, too! Plus, it's gentler than chemical exfoliants (which some reviewers say don't work as well 🫢). 

www.amazon.com

Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. 

Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors and as a two-pack).

35. A no-fuss CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser that's become a staple in the routines of people with dry, sensitive, acne-prone, and even eczema-prone skin. The fragrance-free formula is packed with ingredients that hydrate *and* help skin retain moisture, like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin, making it super gentle, nonstripping, and helpful for strengthening the skin barrier! Y'all, it has over 100,000 5-star ratings for a reason — it truly is the ol' reliable of cleansers.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves this: "I SWEAR by this facial cleanser. I used to be pretty acne-prone, but after I switched to this (which I follow up with thesnail mucin essence in the evenings), my skin lost that rough "bumpy" texture from the tiny acne clusters and stayed suuuper hydrated. It's a heck of a lot easier to put my makeup on now, because my skin isn't randomly crusty or overly-moisturized. It also just feels really good on my skin!" 

Promising review: "Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It's been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It’s been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!" —L. Ashburne

Get it from Amazon for $12.37+ (available in three sizes and as a refill). 

36. Some tiny dermaplaning razors because who has time to pluck out every itty bitty eyebrow and 'stache hair (or the strength to wax it all off...)? This gently and seamlessly shaves off peach fuzz and exfoliates your skin — which can actually help your products and makeup apply more smoothly.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Amazing!! So easy to use. My skin is soooooo smooth after. I love the cap you can place on it when doing your eyebrows so you protect your eyelashes. I mainly use it for eyebrows and upper lip. I wish I would have bought these sooner!!!" —Colleen

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.50 (also available in a nine-pack).

37. Aningrown hair oilfor anyone suffering with redness, irritation, and razor bumps on their underarms right now.
