29 Products With Before & Afters More Satisfying Than The Sheep-Shearing TikToks You Can’t Stop Watching
Promising reviews: "My daughter's hair was lime green from a friend's swimming pool. Not wanting to spend $40 on this, I tried a few other things first, and it was a giant waste of time. I should’ve just got this first. It removed ALL of the green with just one packet, and the shampoo and conditioner made her hair feel so hydrated (and it smells amazing too!). If you’re on the fence, just buy this. It’s worth every penny." —Amanda E
"Our pool filter went down for a few days and when they said it was safe to swim in again, they didn’t mention the amount of chemicals they must have used. My daughter's hair went from silky white to crunchy and neon green in, like, 20 minutes of swimming!!!!! I tried three different swim shampoos and none of them did a thing! My hairdresser recommended this to me so I figured I’d give one more product a shot. This is literally a miracle product! I saw the green disappearing before my eyes. My daughter's hair is back to its beautiful blonde silk, and I am SO grateful to have found this!" —Ross Greenman

Promising review: "So I was in a car wreck on the third of June 2024, and in the first picture [above], you can see a lot of the markings that are on my face. I just got this concealer in the mail today and not a moment too soon because I have an important Zoom meeting. You want to talk about coverage!!!! Now, purple is a really hard color to cover, but this product did it, and I took a picture [above] just to show how well! I am super impressed. Plus, the price point is amazing and it's just as effective as any high-end product. It went on silky smooth! Thank you, E.l.f. Cosmetics, you saved me!" —Jessica

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown has tried these and says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties because, quite frankly, I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There, I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.
I've worn them four or five times now, washing them with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh, and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5 stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

This kit comes with two rolls of boob tape, two silicone nipple covers, eight satin nipple covers, a travel pouch, and a skin test patch kit. Because this stuff is strong, be sure to soak it with oil before removing it to prevent it from ripping your skin.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy; they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." —MelBee

Promising review: "This is the best thing I've ever done for my acne-prone skin. I put off purchasing a light system like this for years because of the cost. My hormonal acne got to the point where I was always having a breakout, so I finally tried this. After just one session, I could see a noticeable difference. After a week of daily treatment, my acne is healing. This was all I was hoping for, just incredible. I also would recommend a Manuka oilfor acne breakouts, and of course a good serum, etc. The only other thing I've done that is great is microneedling. If I had to pick one tool to invest in, though, this would be it." —amy dowell

Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning, it took much less time for the water to heat up, and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now than the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore

Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit, and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" —Caitlin

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/Schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini Goldendoodle who's prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who's still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it's extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. Now it takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

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
"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn’t completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn’t feel cakey, or like there’s a ton of product on." —K. Grant

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two 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

Promising review: "The difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD

Promising review: "These tongue cleaners are definitely stainless steel! You can tell how great the quality is just by holding it in your hand. I use this on my tongue, and I’ve noticed an incredible difference. My tongue feels clean, and the gunk is gone. It sort of grips the tongue, which helps grab any leftover debris. Be sure to use it over the sink, as the debris and saliva will definitely slide off your tongue. To clean, simply rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry! I deal with a lot of dry mouth, especially since I use a CPAP machine to sleep at night. This tool is incredible at getting that bad bacteria off the tongue that shows a white cast and also creates sulfur compounds which makes your breath stink!!" —GreyElt

Promising review: "I was super skeptical of all these pretty beauty products when they popped up on my FYP, but I figured I'd give a few a try and BOY am I glad that I did. The polish smells amazing, and it's such a nice little way to indulge in some self-care in the morning before work, after a long day, or whenever you need it. The texture of the polish is super smooth, and the color is really pretty. I don't use it every day, but when I use it more often, I definitely notice a difference. My skin is softer, my boobs are perkier, and honestly, the 'tightening' and 'perking' effect does kind of make them look bigger. They're certainly looking and feeling their best! Would absolutely buy again. I just ordered my second jar because I was running out!" —Melissa R.

Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
BuzzFeed writer Jordan Grigsby has tested this herself! In her own words:
"Oh! BTW, I bought this. 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."

Promising review: "I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, but it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." —Sandy G

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney

Currently, I use this one, a $40 one from Lancer, and Lip Injections by Too Faced, and honestly, no cap; I prefer this one out of them all. I actually see the biggest difference with this one, and it doesn't feel awful like the Too Faced one. 10/10 would recommend." —Autumn Nelson

We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly, highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." —LM01

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH

Promising review: "I bought this for the first time a few years ago to replace the body lotion I had previously used for years and years. While more expensive, I was willing to try Bum Bum cream based on the previous reviews. And it has not disappointed! Not too thick. Not sticky. And the smell is amazing. I get told many times a week how good I smell." —Libby Solomon

Read more about topically-applied arnica and how it may help with bruising and pain relief at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stuntman told me I should use arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount

Promising review: "Got kids or a messy spouse? You need these! I go through a lot of Mr. Clean erasers, so much so that it was easier to cut them in half first because the centers are always the first to go. Then, when I found this magnificent pack, I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. They are smaller and fit my hand better, but they are also thicker. They seem to work better with less effort, which is awesome! Worked great on a Crystal Light counter stain, a bathroom rust ring, a drain circle, scuff marks on sinks, crayons on walls, Sharpie on a binder, a ring around the door knob from greasy mechanic hands on my new unpainted white door, and even the spot high up on the wall next to the toilet where one would lean his hand because it might get out of control if he doesn't have that extra stability? Anyway, you get the point; they are awesome." —Sherry

I open the package above the stain and pour the extra solution on the stain before I stomp the pad down. I leave the pad for several hours (not quite 24 hours), and the stains are GONE!! I’ll use nothing else after these!!!" —Miko Furusushi

Promising review: "I had five awfully painful plantar warts on my foot for about four months. They were all about a 1/4 inch apart on the ball of my foot and I had a massive one under my second toe. It was becoming hard to walk with how painful they were. This was a Hail Mary and it worked phenomenally. The gel coats well right where you apply it. It doesn’t have an awful stench. I applied it every three to four days for a couple of weeks. I noticed the pain was less and less until I didn’t notice any. Last night I was actually able to pull and peel the remains of the dead warts out!! Kinda gross, but kind of cool. Seriously, this product works. If you have annoying warts...this is the answer!!!" —CJ805
