I am a contributor and former resident writer at BuzzFeed Shopping, where I covered everything from fashion to kitchen products — but beauty and travel are my bread and butter (and shopping vices).
Bellanomi
Bellanomi is a small business that specializes in skincare products for melanin-rich skin.
The nets come in a soft texture for more sensitive skin, classic texture for regular use, and a firm texture for more exfoliation.
Promising review: "Its wonderful, I genuinely feel so clean and my badlu bumpy skin has seen a decrease in redness and is more smooth. I truly reccomend this, when needed I will buy it again. It also makes it a lot easier to wash parts of my body (back, back of legs etc) and I find showering more enjoyable." —Sophie
Get it from Bellanomi for $10 (available in 24 colors) or from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 17 colors).

Promising review: "I really like this curl defining brush! It glides through my hair easily without pulling, and it helps separate my curls beautifully. I used it on wet hair with my styling cream, and my curls came out more defined with less frizz. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the brush feels sturdy. Great value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with curly or wavy hair." —Woodsberline Chery
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors).
Marcheduluxe // Etsy
Marcheduluxe is a small business that creates a variety of products out of pure mulberry silk.
Promising review: "This is my third time purchasing from this Etsy shop! I ordered silk pillow cases five years ago in black and only am changing them out now to match our new bedding! The quality is fantastic and since I know how long they last I also ordered my sister a pillow case for our secret Santa this year! Great gift for under $50!" —Taryn
Get it from Marcheduluxe on Etsy for $38.54+ (available in 12 colors and two sizes).
Promising review: "This is a great item for applying lotion to a senior citizen's back. The curved handle makes it easy to reach all areas of your back. Pad doesn't absorb the lotion, so you need less. Easy to clean. Easy to store or hank up. nice the added a stick on hook. Very useful!!" —fdmgr
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also comes with two replacement pads).
Promising review: "This is 100% recommended. After using it, my face was smooth for four days straight, and it doesn’t smell bad or anything. Perfect product." —Paula
Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in three sizes).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is by far the best lip mask I’ve ever tried. It’s almost magic. It’s not sticky or thick. It’s tasteless and comfortable to wear at night, and it even looks pretty and shiny during the day. As soon as it’s applied, my lips not only look less chapped and dry, but they also immediately start feeling better. In one night, I woke to lips that were glossy, full of real moisture, and 100% improved. I wish I had taken a before and after, but I went out of my way to write a review because it’s that wonderful. 💋" —Ariana Continanzi
Get it from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in four scents and a collection set).
Tip: To keep things hygienic (and ramp up the exfoliation), you could use a lip brush to scoop out and use the scrub on your lips.
Promising review: "This sugar scrub is a 10/10. I added this to my bed time routine and it has already made a tremendous impact on my lips. I’ll wash my face with a gentle face wash cleanser, then apply this sugar scrub after. I’ll take a slightly damp face cloth and rub it away so I don’t remove the moisturizing aspect. My lips feel smoother and softer after 10 days consistent use. I feel refreshed and reset before I rest. I highly recommend this product. Also, I have sensitive skin, and this scrub has not irritated me. Add this to your routine asap!" —Laney87
Get it from Amazon for $15.29.
This spray is safe to be used daily and won't leave behind any residue.
Promising review: "Great spray! You get a lot of product for the price, and it’s an alternative to the Tower 28 spray. I’ve been using it for a week consistently now, and I have noticed improvements in my skin; the blemishes I had before are now gone and I don’t see any new ones forming. Great to use during the summer if you sweat a lot. You can refresh your face throughout the day if needed to get rid of any extra bacteria from sweating." —Dogmom99
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
Promising review: "Okay, so I found this deodorant, and I have to rave about it! It's a total game changer for those scorching summer days. I'm talking about the kind of heat where you feel like you're melting. Well, this stuff keeps me feeling completely dry, which is a huge win compared to others I've tried. On top of that, I smell amazing, like a total treat all day long. 😉 It's like a little burst of freshness that actually lasts. I've tried so many different brands over the years. But, I have to say, this one is the most reliable deodorant ever! I never have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. It's the real deal, and I just had to share!" —JA
Get it from Amazon for $8.87 (available in four scents).
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! They had a fresh taste and were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.

Promising review: "Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three scents, a pack of two, and bundled with a foot file).
Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was going to hold up to its promise...but it did! I used this on a massive zit growing on my nose, making me look like Rudolph and the first night, it took down the swelling a bit and lessened the redness. On day two, it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decide to purchase this, nothing will." —Cassee Colson

Promising review: "After just about three weeks of use, I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C
Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I absolutely love the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. It is incredibly gentle on the skin, leaving it feeling deeply moisturized and clean without that tight, stripped feeling. The texture is wonderfully smooth and perfect for normal to dry skin types. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, dermatologist-loved daily cleanser!" —Ikram
Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in three sizes).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "None of the many cleansers I’ve tried throughout my life have worked as incredibly as this one has. I’ve had top recommended brand cleansers that required two washes to thoroughly cleanse it all off. Not with this one. And the scent is wonderful!! I love it even more for that! The size of the bottle is much bigger than I expected and for such a great price!! Highly recommended!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and two-packs).
Read more about ketoconazole shampoo at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars, then I would!! My husband has suffered from extreme dandruff/Psoriasis for years to the point that he would pick constantly at his scalp. I would be able to visually see large sores and peeling skin chunks constantly, no matter what shampoo/treatment he would use. I found this product by chance and told my husband about it, who was willing to give it a chance (he’d more than given up on finding a solution to his problem at this point). After two shampoos he said that he absolutely noticed a difference and did not feel that he had to scratch his scalp. His sores healed within a week, and now he has a clean, itch- and flake-free scalp! This stuff worked absolute wonders for us, and I would recommend it to anyone with slight dandruff issues to extreme psoriasis conditions!" —Tabitha C.

Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action! BTW, Maple Holisticsis a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "I’ve tried a lot of products that claim to help with thinning hair, and most of them ended up disappointing me. This Rosemary and Biotin Shampoo has honestly been one of the few that I’ve actually wanted to keep using. After a few weeks, my hair started looking noticeably fuller, and it didn’t feel as thin or flat as it usually does. I know hair growth takes time, but my hair definitely looks healthier, stronger, and has more volume than before. It also leaves my scalp feeling really clean without drying out my hair, and the rosemary scent is fresh without being overpowering. If you’re dealing with thinning hair or just want a shampoo with ingredients like rosemary and biotin to help support healthier-looking hair, I think this one is absolutely worth trying. It’s become part of my daily routine, and I plan to keep buying it." —SAC
"This shampoo is like NOTHING I've ever tried in the past. The way my 4C hair comes out after using this is INCREDIBLE. Soft, easy to comb, and super manageable. I've been using it for two years!" —Jae
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three sizes and seven scents).

Promising review: "This is a miracle worker!! I’ve had a dry flaky scalp forever. I’ve tried using coconut oil, jojoba oil, hair masks, special shampoos, everything just seemed to kinda mask the problem and didn’t actually get rid of my dead skin. Since I’ve been using this for the last few weeks my hair feels so much better. After the first wash with it, my hair already looked so much healthier and my scalp didn’t feel tight. If you struggle with super tight scalp that always seems sunburned this should help." —Jamie
Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in three colors).
Of course, this is not an overnight magic product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has used this; here's what she has to say: "Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023 and around May I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it.
I consistently used it twice a day and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me, it's such a life saver. You do have to be patient and consistent, this is NOT an overnight miracle but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life."

It expires in 24 months once opened, so just keep that in mind.
Promising review: "So, I bought this is the hopes of being left famished and never placing my hands in my mouth again. AND IT WORKED! I put the polish around my nails AND skin hoping for it to not harden like regular clear polish and to my surprise it was not uncomfortable and dried EXTREMELY fast. Now THE TASTE!!! is HORRIBLE LOL, it tastes like somebody mixed alcohol and Windex in a bottle and sprayed it in my mouth. It's not the kind of taste you could ever get used to, unless you're used to spaying perfume into your mouth on accident. Water is not enough to get rid of the taste, I would recommend brushing your tongue and lips to fully get rid of the taste because IT'S THAT STRONG! BUY IT!!!!" —Carla

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

BTW, 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.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I've been using this stuff lately and have to say, my hair has never felt better!! My hair is color-treated and tends to feel really dry at the ends, and I'm used to globbing on so much conditioner in an effort to have it feel silky and hydrated. With this Elizavecca treatment, I don't have to use very much, and it feels like it really permeates my strands to leave them sooo soft when I get out of the shower. And I've noticed that my hair legit feels better for days afterward! (Which is a good thing, since I only wash my hair a couple of times a week!)"
Promising review: "Just a WOW!! Ok try to make it short.. My hair was in total distress shedding like crazy and when i finally got it under control my scalp was not the same. I have tried a million products and thought I would give this a try. I AM SO glad I did. It added shine and made my hair soft and manageable. I am not sure really whats in here but I'm sure glad I bought this, you wont be disappointed" —Mrs. Coffee

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $13 (available in a two-pack).
Promising review: "🤩 WOW these are absolutely fantastic. You must buy them if you have super dry nails feet heels. It’s like a miracle in a little booty. The first ones I wore for a half hour, not that great of a difference, but the second pair I wore for the whole day. I just slipped them in my shoes and more them for the whole day. You have to be careful when you walk of course, because you know your feet are all slippery and that goodness but oh my gosh, I love my feet now." —ann

And if you find it uncomfortable to wear sleep in, you can also just leave your hair wrapped while getting some chores done or chillin' on the couch! You'll probably want to leave it in for at least a few hours, though length of time may depend on your hair length/texture as well as how tight you want the waves to be.
Promising review: "I didn't think this would work. My hair is thin-ish and doesn't hold curl that well. I burn myself nonstop with the curling wand, just to have my hair lose most of the curl. So I tried this. I followed the suggestions in the reviews and a few YouTube videos that said to do it with dry hair, and OMG MY HAIR WAS GORGEOUS the next day. A beautiful wave, my hair was silky and shiny, AND it lasted THREE DAYS!!! I brushed them out each day, so they loosened a bit but still VERY pretty. I may never use my curling wand again because I read you can put this in your hair for two hours, and it will work. The tighter you wrap your hair, the tighter the curl, so you CAN get different looks." —Janice Morse

Promising review: "I have long curly hair and use bonnets at night to prevent tangling, drying, and breaking of my hair. I knew this bonnet was different as soon as I put it on. The wide, soft band was so comfortable on my head, and the long straps to tie it were incredible. I’ve had bonnets before with elastic that was one size and no option to tie, and they were often too tight or too loose; both were awful to sleep in. I also love the size of the bonnet because I didn't have to find a way to fit all my hair in; it was roomy enough to fit with ease. The material is so silky and smooth, and it's incredibly lightweight, so it didn’t feel like it was tugging down. I was not disturbed at all in my sleep, wearing this bonnet because it was so comfortable. The color is super pretty, and I will be buying more of these. They’re now my favorite!" —Emily

Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful if performing extractions on yourself as these can injure your skin if not used properly.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion and it opened up my pores too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me and I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer

Bare Botanics is the small biz behind this amazing scrub, which is handcrafted in Madison, Wisconsin!
Promising review: "I love anything coffee-related and have tried a few different body scrubs, but this one is by far the best! My skin feels silky smooth, like satin, which is amazing because my skin is normally very dry. The silky satin feeling lasts for days. I have been using this scrub for about two weeks and I’m obsessed — the first week I used it twice but realized I didn’t need to use it more than once a week. You can smell the coconut & coffee but it’s not strong or overwhelming. If you are looking for a body scrub that has a pleasant scent and will leave your skin feeling silky smooth for days, then I highly recommend!" —Stephanie Wortham

Egyptian Magic is the small business that created this wonderful cream!
Promising review: "Just got this yesterday and I am already in love! In Colorado, the air is dry more often than not, and in the winter it can be brutal on my skin. Washed my face and applied this just before bed and it really packs a punch! It does take a few minutes to absorb, but this morning my skin was bright and it had diminished some of the blemishes on my face. I have combination skin, am prone to breakouts and blackheads and even though this feels a little oily when you first put it on, it doesn't feel like it clogs my pores at all. Gives my skin exactly what it needs without feeling sticky or heavy like the Vanicream I was previously using. Love the ingredients, something I can feel good about putting on my skin!" —Amanda S.

This moisturizer went viral on TikTok for how well it works and how incredible it smells!!
Promising review: "Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." —Jaquelin g.
Get it from Amazon for $9.12+ (available in six scents).
Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin, or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Vicky Reyes
