As a Deputy Editorial Director for BuzzFeed’s shopping team, I love to get into the weeds of why a product’s worth the money by deep diving into customer reviews, and product-testing as much as possible.

If you're one of those folks who scrolls through reviews, subreddits, and TikToks before adding to cart and making that purchase, you're in excellent company. I sifted through tons and tons of stellar reviews to zero in on these things that *thousands* of reviewers loved enough to come back and write glowing reviews. From a beloved tower fan (you could probably seriously use right now) to cooling shorts I wear under dressed half the summer, there are tons of Amazon finds and more here that are worth your dough. 

1. A pack of seamless bikini undies that I actually own! They're great for when you want full coverage but don't want VPL disrupting your perfectly curated 'fit. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are great. They wash well, they are very soft, and so thin you can't even see them if you have a tight dress or skirt on. No issues with shrinking. I love them." —jill ann krajewskidolores

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 15 color combinations).

2. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil so you don't have to use your precious face cream all over your neck too. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Alright… let me give you the lowdown on what an amazing product this is. I’m not lying when I say it does EXACTLY what it says it’s supposed to do. I bought the tube eight months ago, and I use it daily. A pea-sized amount is perfect for my neck area. The tube lasts a long time. I still have some left and bought it again. It’s scentless and rubs in quickly and smoothly, leaving no greasy feeling behind whatsoever. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but figured I’d give it a try. I always hated my hangy double chin. After eight months, I have the tightest, most beautiful neck. Dude, I have a new neck! I am delighted!! I think I paid like $12 for it at the time. Worth it!!! I will use this stuff every day for the rest of my life. Goldbond makes amazing products." —Gloria Betters

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

3. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, a quick, easy fix for concealing and brightening your under-eye dark circles because you don't wanna have to do a full face every single day. This "invisible" coverage oft gets compared to the $33 Becca version. 

www.amazon.com

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. 

My former colleague Heather Braga swears by this stuff: "The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me. "

Promising review: "Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It’s very pigmented and covers a blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It’s extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I’m a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" —Caitlin Newcomb

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

4. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel can deliver some serious depuffing power in a wallet-friendly formula (thank you, caffeine and hyaluronic acid) that compares to $$$ eye creams. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I’ve only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I’ve bought several eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I’ve seen using this product." —Natalie

Get it from Amazon for $5.97

5. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse that'll help your curls, waves, or straight locks get a little more definition and a lot less frizz. Get ready for a queue of folks to ask you, "Why don't you wear your hair curly more often?!"

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

"Awesome product, repeat buyer." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $4.22

6. A seamless scallop-detail bra if you're intrigued by the idea of a jelly bra, but are unsure of how supportive it is. This will be super supportive and full coverage. This'll definitely look smoother under your nice dress top than that sporty bralette you've been living in lately. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "As a petite woman with a larger bust, I find that well-fitted and comfortable bras are hard to come by. This one is so comfortable and cute and I really like the way the clasps are sort of magnetic. It makes it easier to find the right hook while uncomfortably reaching your arms completely behind your back, lol." —Amber Way

Get it from Amazon for $18.97+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 11 colors).

7. A roll of transparent weatherstripping tape that'll keep ALL your deliciously cooled air inside of your home instead of creeping to the outside through a barely there gap. Listen, if I'm going to run my AC, all the cool air better stay inside the apartment I pay for, OK?!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

PS: XFasten is a small biz. 

Promising review: "My portable AC unit had gaps between the plastic piece where it mounts on my window. I tried tape but found it had no effect. I tried this tape, it lowered my room temperature by 5 degrees. Worth it!" —Tai T.

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

8. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens you simply apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying, sliding strips and coffee stains. Reviewers note that this helps target hard-to-reach areas on uneven teeth that strips can't!

www.amazon.com

You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens!

Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.25.

9. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover if you're tired of looking at all the streaks and soap scum on your shower doors, fixtures, grout, and basically everywhere else in your bathroom. One reviewer swears that you should, "Buy a lifetime supply immediately." 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm a clean freak with hard water, and this stuff took off the build-up like magic. I would recommend using a slightly damp scratch pad. It takes a little elbow grease, but I have tried a ton of products, and this one is the only one that worked!" —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $21.77.

10. A suuuuuper soft basic tee that reviewers think is preeeeeeetty similar to the $48 Skims tee. It comes in so many colors and I can vouch for its comfort, I bought it in both black and white last year, and wear them as my travel shirts. And they wash very well!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best shirt for everyday casual, pair with a blazer, or use for a workout. I love the soft feel and being form-fitting without feeling restricting. It also doesn’t wrinkle easily, which makes it great for travel!" —Mermaid Mamma

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+(available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors), 

11. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. 

www.amazon.com

My colleague Emma(who's a fan of the original) has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 

12. A pack of Dunkin' Refreshers to help switch up your caffeine delivery instead of going for an afternoon coffee. These beauts contain 80 milligrams of caffeine from green tea in an extremely fruity delivery of flavors 🍓 Strawberry Dragonfruit Lemonade 🍋 and 🥭 Mango Pineapple. 🍍

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Just mix one stick with 16.9 ounces of water. See it in action on TikTok here.

Promising review: "Love Dunkin but have never tried their refreshers. These are now one of my top favorite drink enhancers. These packets are super affordable! They are also extremely tasty and don’t leave the aftertaste some water enhancers or powders do. They come in a variety of flavors, and all are equally yummy! It’s also 'refreshing' that these don’t cost an arm and a leg. I plan to order more today. I love that these will help you meet your daily water intake goals easily!" —Mississippi Mama!

Get a 40-count variety pack from Amazon for $12.98.

13. A cheap but incredibly effective instant foot peeling spray in case your at-home pedis aren't quite hitting or you can't make it to the salon. It'll gently remove dead skin and help moisturize cracked heels.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $5.48

14. A "Buf-Puf" facial sponge to gently scrub your face, lift dry skin, and remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil. Less dead skin = better absorption for your skincare! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Buf-Puf in action.

Promising review: "I really love how easy it is to use this sponge. It’s not too hard and scruffy on the face wanna applied with the correct pressure, it’s very soothing and relaxing. Definitely a good purchase." —Ms B

Get it from Amazon for $4.66

15. A sturdyPikk-It tool can un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can’t wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." —Rob

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

16. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll stop shine in its tracks without having to dip into a coffee shop bathroom to touch up your makeup. It walks that fine (perfect) line of blurring and keeping you matter without making you look dull. 'Tis the season for your skin to come out of its dry cave and it's always a bit tough to find that perfect in-between!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

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

17. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil with a formula for all skin types to prevent your pores from clogging while it goes to work to help get rid of blackheads, makeup, and sebum. There are MANY fans in the reviews, including some who say they can SEE the debris coming out of their faces. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Oh! Anddd reviewers say they use this as a step in their double cleansing routine. What the heck is that, you may ask? Well, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser, and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.

Promising reviews: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

"This is my second time purchasing it, and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a very gentle cleanser for the face and fully lives up to expectations. I’ve tried several oil cleansers, but Anua really stands out. It leaves the skin soft, without any greasy feeling, and effectively removes makeup and sunscreen. I’ll definitely keep buying." —Yesmir

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

18. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar is a quick K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $17.02

19. A recently released Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Shower and Tub Scrubber that comes with a handle to help you leverage all your cleaning power to cut through tub and shower grime and soap scum. I've used this and it really does make the task so much easier!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Get a tool and two refills from Amazon for $9.09.

20. An Elizavecca hair treatment givew you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.

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, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Get it from Amazon for $7.40+ (available in two styles).

21. An oscillating tower fan that'll help the air flow without REALLY jacking up your energy bill. It's a bladeless fan that works quietly with six speed options and a remote you can keep on your nightstand in case you get a little too cold at night (what a great problem to have). 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "GO BUY THIS NOWWWWW!!! My room has been hot for over FIVE months now with no AC. Especially now with summer, I almost feel like I want to pass out. I’m so glad I got this. It’s been two hours now since we got it in the mail and our room has completely turned around from hot to freezing cold. I can’t believe I’m saying this. I have purchased over three fans the past few months and this one tops it all." —Inca

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (also available in a smart Wi-Fi version).

22. A pair of Nippies to slap on when you've gotta wear something that just won't work with a regular bra. These adhesive pasties have over 30,000 *glowing* reviews. Oh, and they're washable and reusable!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand-new out of the package again. Buying these forever." —Marisa

Get it from Amazon for $28.50 (available in three sizes, four colors, and two styles).

BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.

23. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-Beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $44 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Its seven-oil blend (Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil) promises to reduce your hair-drying time and provide heat protection up to 450 degrees. 

Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

24. Carpe 100-hour odor-blocking deodorant you hopefully won't ever have to test up to its 100-hour effectiveness, but ooooh boy it sure does work. I've been testing it out and have made it up to the 36-hour mark, still dry and smelling like roses. (I've been using the rose water scent.) 

Amazon

Now, most deodorants I've tried in my decade as a shopping editor haven't lived up to my beloved Mitchum that I've been using since middle school. And this has stood up to it! It applies like a lotion and dries down flat, and has kept me dry all day...even in this rapid winter-to-summer hop in weather in New York City. But what I think is most important about this review, is that I have VERY sensitive skin that other deodorants have broken out into what once was more or less a chemical burn. Not with this! It isn't the cheapest deo out there, but I'm incredibly impressed with just how dry and nonsmelly it's left my pits!

Carpe is a small biz specializing in sweat protection for different parts of your body.

Promising review: "I was very hesitant at first to buy this. My sweat issues are HORRIBLE. I can be driving down the road and sweat will just run down my arms. Ruins all my shirts. Nothing helped, Secret, Dove, none of those clinical brands worked. Well Carpe, I am very satisfied. Use it right and it will work. I use it every night on clean dry underarms. I have used it wrong before and still kinda works but best results are when you use it by the directions! I don’t sweat much at all anymore! Nothing through my shirts. Good product!" —Jackie

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.97 (available in nine scents).

25. Or a pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes that'll come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. You can apply it to your pits before bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. BUT! Many reviewers use it for their sweat-prone faces, too. 

www.amazon.com

As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!

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 and three).

26. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible!

www.amazon.com

It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.

Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —jlgentr3

Get it from Amazon or $13.33.

27. Nivea skin-firming gel cream helps firm up loose skin and skin texture (think post–weight loss and post-partum) with Q10, an ingredient you'll likely start hearing a LOT more about soon. Reviewers say it's great for the face and stomach, but is also quite transformative for necks and thighs.

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 $13.98.

28. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking stovetop. Scrape away and lift any leftover crud by the previous tenants or owners with the help of this jar.  

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Um, why haven't you bought it already? This stuff WORKS! As a repeat boil-over offender, this has saved my stove time and time again. No regrets buying it! First photo is after a messy cooking session, second photo shows just how great the pink stuff is at cleaning up!" —M.C.

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

29. Crocs flip-flops even the Crocs haters will embrace because they're not the clunky clogs but bring the signature comfort to this sleeker profile. They're made of buoyant, Croslite foam so you can wear them at the beach and pool. AND have a textured footbed so your slippery feet won't go slippng and sliding when you walk. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Walking on cushiony clouds!!! I LOVE Crocs but I don’t love the look of them when I wear summer outfits. These were the jackpot!!! I only wear sandals and flip-flops all summer and these are definitely my new favorite!! Soooo cushiony and comfy!!! I will be buying in more colors!!" —Maven

Get them from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in sizes 4–11 and 14 colors). 

30. Leather Honey conditioner can breathe new life into all kinds of tired-looking leather, like on couches, boots, purses, and more. It's nontoxic, non-oily, and will help your leather goods look and FEEL much better. Oh, and it's water-repellent! It might even have you doing double takes at those looked-over boots at the thrift. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It can be used on leather shoes, accessories, interiors, furniture, upholstery, saddles, jackets, and tack.

Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey, and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David Horning

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes; clip the coupon for this price).

31. A waterproof outdoor curtain can help you enjoy your deck or porch more without having to stare into the blazing sun or feel its full heat. This physical barrier will not only block out some heat (like indoor blackout curtains do) but save your poor eyes from looking at your neighbor's tacky deck setup. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Pick up a sturdy rust-resistant curtain rod while you're at it! 

Promising review: "These curtains are AMAZING! Beautiful and elegant. Hangs beautiful, very light blocking, keeps rain out of our Tiki bar, we can sit out there in the rain, and keeps the heat in on a cool fall evening when we have the fireplace on!" —Sara Bushendorf

Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in eight sizes and 15 colors). 

32. A portable handheld fan that's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of uses for it, even when you're outside of the confines of deliciously chilly AC. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action. 

Promising review: "This fan works so well, keeps me cool when I’m on the beach or sitting outside in the sun. The battery life is amazing but it takes a while to charge up." —Amanda Clerk

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

33. A cervical pillow with breathable memory foam if you're a hot sleeper and always seem to wake up on a sweaty pillow. This'll cradle your head and neck in a gentler way than a regular pillow. Also, it comes with an Arc-Chill pillowcase!

It's also adjustable — if you find it too high, you can remove the memory foam piece at the bottom. If you find it too low, contact the brand and they'll provide an extra insert.

Promising review: "I know it's hard to switch from your favorite pillow, but once you switch to this product, you will not regret it. I purchased this because I was having neck pain and it did help. I then found out I had to have cervical disc replacement and have not used anything but this pillow since surgery, and it has helped me so much. By the end of the day, my neck is tired and sore, but when I lay down on this it takes all the pressure off and immediately relaxes my neck. Not to mention the cooling effect it has is wonderful. It stays cool all night long." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven’t popped off once and that used to be a several-times-a-night problem because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you, TikTok!" —Gabby

35. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense that'll stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and the biggest bang for your buck in the stick-form chafe-prevention category. I have thick thighs and swear by it!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

I keep this stick front and center in my medicine cabinet because if I leave the house with bare legs and don't apply it before, I really regret it. The product lasts for about half a year for me. 

Promising review: "Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my fat thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer lifesaver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe four hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." —Ash

36. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. No need for a professional assessment!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —Susan

38. Tend Skin Solution you can use post-shaving to help eliminate unsightly bumps, painful ingrowns, and even chafing associated with shaving sensitive areas. 

www.amazon.com

Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic

This can be applied after shaving and waxing to prevent bumps and burns. It can also be applied at night independent of shaving to help clear any existing ingrown hairs and bumps.

Promising reviews: "Works extremely well on sensitive skin and delicate shave areas. Used this after years of trying different products that irritated the sensitive shave areas and did not prevent razor burn and hair bumps. Noticeable difference after first use and no more ingrown hairs or chafing since implementing into shave routine." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes).

39. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash for an oh-so-soothing combo of aloe, mint, and tea tree soap to help your poor, irritated skin post-chafe.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I can’t say enough about this bath soap. It smells terrific, and when you’re done washing, you feel very clean. It helped clear up acne on my daughter's skin and works on athletes' feet as well. It also speeds up the healing of the skin from chafing under breasts and stomach, so if you sweat a lot, this is the product you want! I’m on my fifth bottle!" —AnnMarie Mason

40.

These pocket-size packs come in tea tree oil, sweet orange, and refreshing lavender scents. And they lather SUPER well with a little bit of water, according to reviewers. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Fomin is a small business that specializes in travel soaps and wipes. 

Promising review: "Best thing ever. I work outdoors and I use this for my job. Doesn’t require lots of water either, but gets the job done. I actually bought it for my fishing trip and can’t wait to see how well it does." —Amazon Customer

42. A fungal nail renewal formula in case you've been side-eyeing your unpolished toes since you finally got around to watching The Last of Us and googled to find out more about funguses, thus realizing that ophiocordyceps unilateralis is a real thing that (thankfully!) doesn't infect humans. ANYWAY, let's get that nail fungus looked after!

www.amazon.com

This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve the appearance, and reduce discoloration and thickness leaving you with some dramatic results. Not nearly as dramatic as Pedro Pascal's role as Joel. (He was ROBBED of the 2023 People's Sexiest Man Alive, BTW!)

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 $19.86.

43. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes. (Just because you TOOK a red eye doesn't mean that you have to put up with literal red eyes.) 

www.amazon.com

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

"Two drops in your eyes and all day, they look perfectly white and healthy. I would definitely buy these again." —Kelley

www.amazon.com

Instant Power is a small biz. 

Promising review: "For six years I have tried to remove stains from my toilet. I used bleach, pumice stones, CLR, vinegar, baking soda. This has done the job with zero scrubbing on my part.

Get it from Amazon for $7.27.

45. A box of wart-removing pads you can simply apply like bandages. Get ready to say adios to that appendage even faster. If you were in a horror movie, this wouldn't work and then it would dawn on you that this is something MUCH more sinister. But at least this part of life doesn't feel like a horror movie!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth." —J

www.amazon.com

This is, of course, free of harsh chemicals and cleaners!

Promising review: "My husband and I just adopted our cute puppy, Winston, from the humane society. When we adopted him his ears were unfortunately pretty dirty, but after using this ear cleaner today, his ears are so clean!! I'm so amazed at everything it managed to get out. Our puppy's ears look so much better now! I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a dog." —Jerome F

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wanted to wait until the grass had a chance to grow before leaving my review, and I’m very pleased! The germination rate was quick, the grass came in thick and healthy, and it’s already looking great in my yard. Easy to plant, grows strong, and definitely worth it. Highly recommend if you want reliable results!" —Richard lademan

Get it from Amazon for $23.67 (also available in two other bag sizes).

Amazon

Promising review: "Love these wipes for our Pomeranian. We use them to wipe our dog down after his play dates and also clean his paws off after returning from our walks. Doesn’t really have a strong scent, so it doesn’t linger on our dog. The wipes are sturdy and big enough for our needs. These were recommended by our groomer and we are pleased with the product." —Average Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $12.43/two months; available in two scents).

Amazon

Promising review: "This is the perfect trash bag, it's just the right size, the handle slips over the gearshift and hangs to the passenger side so it's not in the way. The material is sturdy and it holds a lot. Easy to dump and rehang! Looks neat in my black car, almost unnoticeable, which is perfect for a trash bag! lol Would definitely recommend, I have one in each car!" —V. K. Bareford

50. O'Keeffe's Foot Cream to rehab cracked, painful heels. Here's to going to bed without socks!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have struggled with dry, cracked, gross feet since I was a teenager. No matter what I did, the skin on my heels was always dry and would crack so painfully that sometimes it was hard to walk. I had just resigned myself to the fact that it could never change. My feet are so, so soft, nearly all of the cracks and rough spots are gone and the last few cracks are almost totally healed. I have been putting this on twice a day and it’s changed everything. If you are on the fence about getting this, get it!!" —Halley B
