Just 30 Products That Have Gotten Rave Reviews From People Over 50
Promising review: "I've had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice on the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I'm proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’m 70 years old and have arthritis in my hands. I’ve used copper bracelets and other gloves for several years, and they are somewhat helpful, but these gloves seem to do a lot better. They have a tight fit and are very comfortable. They are very durable, as I wear them while working outside, hunting, fishing, or whatever. The other gloves I’ve had would have been torn and ripped up by now, but these gloves look like I just took them out of the box, and I’ve washed them twice." —Keith Proffer

Promising review: "I've been searching for the right compression socks, and I found them with these. They are a little long for my height but have perfect compression. My legs tend to swell after an ankle operation. Great for long trips. I'm a 68-year-old lady, and these socks are easy to put on. After this purchase, I bought three other pairs. Recommend them 100%" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am 51 with a 31-year-old back injury from the military. It has become much harder in recent years to test my limits the way I did when I was younger, and eventually, I couldn't scrub our bathtubs and showers without incapacitating spasms. I tried other cleaners similar to this that might as well have been plain water, but the previous positive reviews persuaded me to give this a shot. THIS IS GOLD! I used it several days in a row, as suggested at first, and I was surprised to see how much of a difference it made in just that first week. Now, I have a weekly ritual every Sunday where I move all the hair products and soap to the bathroom counter after my shower, and I start by spraying the shower doors from the inside first, then covering the fiberglass walls from top to bottom from outside the shower, including the fixtures, the floor, and the tracks for the sliding glass doors. I cannot say enough how thankful I am to have found an effective cleaner that does the work I can't physically do anymore. I swear by this and would recommend it to ANYONE, whether they have physical limitations like me or just want to skip the scrubbing and save time!" —Mary Weir

Promising review: "I had both carpal and cubital tunnel surgery 12 years ago and have modified everything I do since then. Just downward dog is a stretch for me (pun intended). I haven't done yoga for a long time and have been walking instead, but my hip flexor is weirdly painful and slow healing, so I started yoga for my hip and then remembered why I stopped doing it. I literally stumbled on this device and thought it was worth a shot. I had low expectations. These blocks are everything. I did a foam rolling Peloton stretch class and a 20-minute flow class today. NO PAIN. Initially, figuring out how to flip the blocks around took a second, but it's easy to get the hang of. I'm sooo happy. No wrist pain. Able to hold and go deeper into postures. These are genius. One of those 'I wish I invented these" things. Just buy them. I'm only 51, and my husband laughed when he saw them out of the box. He was less optimistic than me. These things are great." —Leah Berry

Promising review: "I have shoulder-length hair that is frizzy without product. This product is the best I have ever used in my 56 years. If I put it on damp hair and blow-dry, my hair looks great and bouncy. If I use my flat-iron after blow-drying, it stays smooth, even on rainy days." —delenbaas

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Promising review: "I am in my mid-fifties, and I love working with my hands — knitting, gardening, woodworking, etc. I also work at the computer for my day job, so I type all day. As a result, I have recurring issues with my fingers. I had a trigger finger release surgery in December, and I am participating in occupational therapy to recover. Pulling the multitude of weeds that sprouted was very difficult for me with my stiff and painful fingers. Enter Grampa's Weeder. I'd heard of it before but didn't buy one until a couple of weeks ago. IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING. It is easy to use (yes, you must center it over the weed for best results). It requires no strength and no bending down. Once the weed is pulled out, if it gets stuck in the prongs of the tool, you can turn the tool upside down and clear the weed without bending! It is a game changer! It will even pull the smallest of single-stalk little weed sprouts! I am ordering one day as a gift for my 80-year-old mom, who is in her garden every day. DO NOT HESITATE TO SPEND THE MONEY ON THIS TOOL! My occupational therapist is recommending it to all of his patients who garden!" —Florencia R. Albert

Promising review: "I bought this bra primarily to keep the separation between my breasts at night time when I sleep on my side. When I received this product, I loved the satin feel. It was very comfortable to sleep with, but it was too loose on my bare skin. I am 63, and my B-cup breasts sag. Initially, I was going to return it but instead decided to try it over/ on top of a soft sleep bra and tighten the straps under and behind the back. Perfect! Would highly recommend." —Janice Taylor

Promising review: "I am beside myself with this purchase!! I bought it hoping it would at least somewhat work, as so many don't. This is absolutely perfection! It works well, and it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire and most importantly...IT WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple of days later, and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" —Sandy E'Bell

Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looks better than natural nails without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer

Promising review: "This is the most fun gadget. I like to cut my olives and grape tomatoes up in my salad, so there's more to go around! This was SO fun to use and worked SO SO SO well. The only time it's not incredible is if the grape tomato is a little too big. But if it's small or medium, it's FABULOUS. And works BEAUTIFULLY on olives omg. SO FUN!

I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every six to eight weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. I snagged a bottle and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was — this stuff truly does what it says it will do. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier.
Olaplex was my go-to before I tried K18 and I still stand by it as a product, but I really love that K18 is a leave-in treatment rather than an in-shower mask. Having to let the Olaplex sit for 10 minutes felt like forever, especially when I wasn't taking an everything shower (you know, the ones where you exfoliate and shave). With K18, you let it sit in your hair for four minutes post shower to activate, and then you can style your hair (or just let it air dry like I do).
I've found that my hair is softest the next day, so don't be discouraged if your hair looks or feels the same the day you use it. One last thing: it is pretty pricey, but a little goes a long way. The 50 mL tube lasts a few months, and eventually, K18 can become a maintenance product, so you won't need to use it every time you wash your hair.
Promising review: "I am extremely pleased with this product. As an African-American woman in her 60s, healthy hair is important. After one four-minute process, I could immediately see and feel the difference." —influencer2021

Promising review: "I am 57 years old, and gradually, I noticed that I tended to leak urine if I sneezed or coughed hard. I would also notice after finishing urinating that some residual would leak out. The first time I put the lowest weight in it fell out within a minute. I reinserted it only to have it happen again. I was frustrated and somewhat shocked to realize how weak my muscles were. I kept using it. It took me almost two weeks until I could keep it in for 15 minutes. I found I did better using it in the evening when I was more relaxed. When I got to the second weight, I found it easier. By the time I got to the third weight I would put it in the early evening and would just keep it in until it fell out. Sometimes it would be 10 minutes, and sometimes it would be 2 hours. I am happy to report that I am now on the fifth weight and doing wonderfully. NO MORE LEAKS, no matter how much I cough, sneeze, or laugh. I no longer need to use panty liners. It is a wonderful feeling to have my life back. I WOULD GIVE THIS PRODUCT '10' STARS IF I COULD!" —jacksmom

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS.
Promising review: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the flossing-like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every 4 days, brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh, and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a real dentist!" —BenK

Promising review: "I hate jeans. I find them to be uncomfortable. But I love these jeans!! They are very comfortable and stretchy. I sit at a desk all day and I am so comfortable, almost like I'm wearing leggings. These actually look and feel like denim. My butt looks really good in them. I am 51 years old. Very highly recommended. I'm here to write my review and order more in other colors. My only problem is I now have to clean out my drawers of all the other jeans I have wasted my money on." —JENNIFER MORTON

Promising review: "I take very good care of my 67-year-old feet. Always have cause I am a distance walker and biker. Yet summer sandal weather in Texas had them looking and feeling less than baby-pink and soft. For me, it only took only 3 minutes on the heels and ball of the foot, with a bit on the outside edge of the big toe. But WOW, this really worked. In 10 minutes total, I am soft and super smooth and good to go!" —C. brown

Promising review: "So far, I am loving this lotion. I put it on every morning under my makeup, and it leaves my face perfectly moisturized all day long. I also noticed I use less foundation because it's so moisturizing. I don't believe there is any miracle moisturizer that will ever get rid of our crow's-feet, laugh lines, neck sagging, etc., but this moisturizer helps reduce the look of these problems as long as they're not deep surface. I'm 68 years old and never was someone who was a 'sun worshipper' and, fortunately, stopped smoking in 1980 after smoking for 15 years. Those two things do a lot of damage to your skin, so to all young women reading this who are doing these two things, take it from me: If you want to retain healthy, youthful skin, stop these too-harmful habits. Use sunscreen when you are in the sun, and use moisturizer now. Embryolisse seems to be a good place to start!" —Janet Cahill

Promising review: "I don't usually try all the latest hair things because my hair is very fine, and it doesn't like the product. But I received it as a sample, and I can't believe how nice it made my hair and how long it lasted. I have to wash every single day, or my hair would be limp and lifeless. You could tell if I didn't wash my hair for one day. This miracle stuff makes it so that I don't have to wash my hair for a good three days at least and it still looks fresh. It also lasts between washes, so I only have to use it every other wash or sometimes not for three or four. I can't live without this now that I found it. It took me ’til my 50s to find this amazing product. I sure coulda used this in my 20s!" —B.S.

They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.
Promising review: "I'm 64 years old and have never had a washing machine go 'sour' until this summer. It's been so incredibly humid I can only guess that's what has caused the bad, musty odor in our washer, which is only about 5 years old. I've tried everything from vinegar to bleach, but nothing got rid of the smell. I tried this, and the odor improved quite a bit, but not totally, so I put it through another treatment, and the washing machine seems back to its fresh self. I'll start using this every month, and hopefully, the funky washing machine will never return." —Karen

Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and have dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.

Promising review: "I have always had SEVERE ear pain upon the descent of an airplane. Nothing that the average person can do works for me...no amount of yawning, gum chewing, nose holding/blowing, or any other 'remedy.' My ears would often stay plugged for over 24 hours after landing. Before flying recently, I looked on the web for how to avoid ear pain when flying and saw EarPlanes mentioned; never heard of them but thought I might as well try. This is ONE OF MY BEST PURCHASES EVER! I put them in one hour before landing as instructed and had not even the tiniest bit of ear popping, let alone NO pain whatsoever. First 'normal' flight I've had in 50 years of flying! If you have problems as I've had, BUY THEM...you won't regret it!" —Greengirl66

It is extremely well made, lightweight and tucks the bottom and top sheets under the heavy mattress with no effort!

Promising review: "I'm a 69-year-old lady. Used this a few weeks ago on a trip to Europe. One 10+ hour non-stop flight, another with a 5-hour layover at Heathrow. The Trtl worked perfectly, slept easily sitting up with just a slight leaning back of my seat. Took only a couple of adjustments of placement and tightness of wrap. No problem with warmth or overheating. During a layover at Heathrow, sitting in a seat with no neck support worked fine, too. Really appreciated being able to sleep in the lounge or gate waiting seat. Highly recommend." —Mucky Bessom
