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." —Angela Leonard

Note: The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out harmful debris. But of course, it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as removing nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs. Read more about it at the Cleveland Clinic.

You'll get 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 10 paper cups at your disposal.

Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.

This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!

Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan Caprigno

Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine." —JAcosta

Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —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, nonsticky 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

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub).

Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Here's what fellow BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower had to say: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming... and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

Mad Rabbit was started by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after noticing a gap in the market for all-natural tattoo care products. The duo pitched their tattoo aftercare balm in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Here's what one of our editors, 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.

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

Just place it toward the back of your tongue, scrape forward three to four times, and rinse!

Promising review: "I just got home and saw that my package has arrived, I’ve been waiting for it all week! I brushed, flossed, and then scraped. I am so AMAZED with the results! I couldn’t believe everything that was rolling off my tongue, I’ve been using a toothbrush lately and I hated it. It made me gag and sometimes bleed, it just didn’t get the job done. With this scraper I was able to go further back then I usually do with a tooth brush and it’s painless! I love this product, I recommend it to anyone!" —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $8.47 (also available in a pack of two and 12).

Promising review: "I’ve tried a bunch of teeth whitening products in the past and they’ve always left my teeth feeling sensitive. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a whitening product and was skeptical to try another one but after searching around I decided to give it a try and I am happy to say that I have not felt any sensitivity at all! The instructions say to use it 2x a day but for now I’m just using it 1x a day as I want to see how my teeth felt and adjusted. I’ve been using the product for about a month now and I have been able to see some results, but only after I took a photo did I realize it has been working so fast. I have pretty white teeth, so I’m pretty amazed how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." —Adam

BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!

Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger, I got acne when I was in my 20s and I have no self control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab because I pick it all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out, even if I pop a zit and wash my face, but these on, it’ll continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly I’m in love with these. When I first heard of acne patches I thought, 'I’ll never pay money to make a zit go away,' but these are affordable and affective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum and it’s healed that one quick for me too!!" —chipper2

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

The kit comes with ten toenail braces and the materials needed to apply them.

Promising review: "I never realized how curved and not-OK my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product did I realize that I had a major problem that could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H.

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

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).

Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out, and I saw this brand had a [lookalike} for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." —reviewer22

"Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I’m guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I’m nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." —Andi

Get it from Amazon for $6.40.

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 reviews: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." —Diane J. Huff

"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

Promising reviews: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad that I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

"This product is an answered prayer! Both my daughter and I are affected by seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp; however, after one wash, my daughter has had no more flare-ups, and mine are very minimal. I also like that it doesn't zap the moisture out of the hair, leaving it dry and brittle (we have 4c hair types)." —ALong

Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I started taking medication that dried my skin, including severely drying my lips to the point that my lips were peeling and cracked. I bought this lip repair balm based on the reviews, and after the first night, I started noticing my lips healing! I apply the lip repair to my lips every night, and it keeps my lips moist throughout the night. I just ordered my second order! Highly recommend!" —Delia K.

Get it from Amazon for $8.46 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I usually suffer from chapped lips in the winter, to begin with, but now having braces makes it 100x worse. I have tried all kinds of different lip balms and moisturizers, and nothing was helping. I have used this product once (and followed up with their lip treatment), and the dryness and peeling are gone. I wish I had tried this a lot sooner. It would have saved me from weeks of dryness and soreness!"—Kathleen M.

Promising reviews: "After a month and a half of using this product, I don’t have a single active breakout on my face. This is the first time in over a year! My only regret is that I wish I would have found this sooner to save my skin from scarring." —Ashley L.

"This stuff actually works. I work in a spa, and I’ve tried dozens of different products that cost five times the price to try to clear up my acne-prone skin and NOTHING has worked as well as Differin gel. One of my esthetician coworkers recommended it to me, and dang if she wasn’t right. It will dry out your skin pretty badly, so make sure you have and use a good moisturizer, but my skin cleared up in less than two weeks, and I’m still amazed." —Rin Wisell

Get it from Amazon for $13.10+ (available in four sizes and two bottle styles).

It's way less wasteful and easier to carry around than a pack of oil blotting sheets — just pop out the stone roller to give a quick wash before reusing!

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Get it from Amazon for $8.42.

Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart that I had tried to get rid of for years. I was about to give up and go to a doctor when I discovered these. I put them on before bed and on the last two days kept them on all day. Today I was filing the wart down (which I did every day with this treatment) and I noticed a crack at the bottom. **Warning! Kinda gross** I was able to pull out the entire wart! I was left with a circular wound on my finger and I was left holding the wart! I'm so shocked and amazed since it's only been four days! I 100% would recommend this to everyone." —Amazon Customer

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two formulas and a pack of two).

To use, simply put a few drops on a cotton ball and apply to the affected area. It can be used to minimize already-existed razor bumps, and can also be used after hair removal to prevent bumps and ingrown hairs.

Promising review: "This works so amazingly well, I wish I knew about this product sooner and this is going to be something I will always have around. I only use it around my bikini area, but it takes care of any razor bumps I’ve had and works quickly. It does sting a little if you have a little cut, but for me the stinging doesn’t last long and isn’t unbearable by any means. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a solution to razor bumps." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I had very annoying, thick chin and upper-lip hair. I used Nair Facial Cream which didn't really work well, I plucked, and I used a small 'personal' electric razor which left stubble. None of them gave satisfactory results. I purchased this to give it a try...and I was amazed at how great it worked. No more stubble, no more annoying plucking, my skin is smooth and was not irritated. If you are bothered with facial hair, buy this, you won't be disappointed." —Red Ryder

Get it from Amazon for $16.18+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I’m usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne Jerkins

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles).

Promising reviews: "I bought this very skeptical and was amazed by the results. I use it as a toner and in three days I was already seeing my texture disappear. I will definitely buy it again." —Angelina F.

"Does the EXACT same as Tower28 for a fraction of the price! I love it; my face feels refreshed. Highly recommend, no shade to Tower28, they are great, but this is cheaper and if you’re on a budget, use this alternative! Great for after work, the gym, or existing in these hot summer months. If you have sensitive skin, it’s gentle." —Paul R.

Get it from Amazon for $17.46.

Promising review: "I saw this a couple of times on TikTok and decided, for the price, it was definitely worth a try. Oh my gosh, do I wish I tried it sooner! I’m in my late thirties, so I have a few lines and some texture. This has helped moisturize and even out my skin so much, and my face feels heavenly! My skin is pretty sensitive and I absolutely cannot stand when something smells bad, I haven’t had any problems with this product at all." —Mandy B.

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez

The product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), has no strong smell, the cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee El
