I'm a seasoned Shopping Editor with more than 10 years of experience covering travel (my favorite), home decor, fashion, and pet products.

You know those viral Amazon products with 5-star ratings that keep showing up in your group chats, on your FB feed, and in your friends’ homes? Yeah, these are those products. Ahead, you’ll find everything from carpet cleaners and cooling pillows to foot peel sprays, sunscreen sticks, and pore-blurring beauty finds that are worth the purchase — no more sitting on the fence!

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 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).

Promising review: "This may be the best thing I have ever bought off of Amazon. And I buy quite a bit. Long story short, the tub in my kids' bathroom was atrocious due to spotty cleaning and hard water. I bought this with a heavy dose of skepticism, even though the reviews were mighty impressive. On the back of the bottle, it says that you may need several daily applications before your tub is clean, and then you can switch to a weekly application. I'm on day three, and let me say, even if this stuff worked no further, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The shower looks close to new. A couple of more days and I'll be able to switch to weekly!." —Tee

Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents). 

Promising review: "Second time buying this and will continue to buy it for the rest of my life. The key to oil cleaners is to follow with a foaming cleanser, and I use the Anua gentle foaming cleanser. Makes my skin feel so clean and gently exfoliates and leaves my skin, leaving it so, so soft. I rub the oil cleanser into my more problematic areas — my nose and chin — for a bit longer to really get in there, and the sebum visibly comes out." —Kamila Cherneta

Promising reviews: "Get the shoes, TRUST ME. If even one person reads this review, it's worth it. I broke in the shoes as soon as they got delivered to my doorstep with 2x daily outdoor walks, and five days later, the ultimate test at Disneyland. I ended the day finishing 20,000 steps, got home, and my feet do NOT hurt or ache. The toe box is so roomy! And the super-padded platform is perfect. My friends even loved the shoes and color I got. 10 out of 10 and will definitely recommend!" —PuffyKhan

"Like a cloud ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I’m a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." —Ian Durham

Get it from Amazon for $59.49+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. 

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." —Monica T. 

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

And here's what BuzzFeeder/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say: 

"After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning."

Promising review: "For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn’t noticed, which had probably been there for years. I’ve tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn’t work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy that I started cleaning other items: the stainless steel sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50, I’ll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE." —RVT

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 $14 (also available in a pack of two).

It even has a minty scent, so you don't have to worry about that harsh chemical smell most cleaning products usually emit.

Promising review: "I just recently bought a home with glass shower doors. There was hard water and soap scum residue on the doors. I tried a few products and nothing worked. I did a search for a 5-star product and found Bio Clean... works like a charm!! So thankful I found Bio Clean... saves me a lot of time!!!!" —Lois Knorr

Get it from Amazon for $13.77+ (available in three sizes).

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

PS: Each bottle has enough for 50+ applications. 

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

Promising review: "These Medicube pads have literally healed my skin. I started using them regularly and noticed such a big difference in how clear and smooth my face looks. They’re gentle but effective, and my skin feels healthier with each use. I love that they’re easy to use and don’t irritate my skin at all. Honestly, they’ve become one of my favorite skincare products, and I don’t think I could go without them now." —demian

Get them from Amazon for $14.90 (available in seven styles).

I LOVE this stuff — check out my full review of Medicube's Collagen Overnight Wrapping Mask here. 

Promising review: "This product is a game changer for my skincare routine! The Collagen Night Wrapping Mask feels light and soothing on the skin, and when I wake up, my face looks refreshed, plump, and hydrated. I love that it doesn’t feel sticky and absorbs nicely while still creating a protective layer overnight. After using it consistently, I’ve noticed my skin looking smoother and more radiant. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts quite a while. Definitely worth it — I’ll be repurchasing!" —Danaisy Agüero Morales

Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in four styles).

Promising review: "Amazed! In the middle of the night, my child threw up spaghetti — noodles, sauce, the whole deal — right on the carpet. I picked up what I could, but didn’t want to wake the entire house by running the cleaner. SEVEN HOURS later, I finally pulled out the Bissell, not expecting miracles… but WOW. It cleaned the carpet as if the mess had never happened. I’m still in shock. Oh, and she also threw up on a giant Squishhmallow (yes, that massive plush toy), and the Bissell cleaned that too — like magic. This is hands down the best cleaning tool I’ve ever used. Total game changer!" —Stephanie

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. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I personally bought this and love it! 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 a dental hygienist of 16 years and typically use and recommend electric toothbrushes; however, this manual toothbrush is great! My teeth feel very clean after brushing for two minutes, similar to the way they would feel after using my Oral-B or Sonicare electric toothbrush. I’ll definitely purchase again!" —Beth

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before-and-after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

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 

Promising review: "My philosophy: You need to love your job and love your bed because that's where you spend most of your hours. Anyway, I don't work anymore, but I dang sure love my bed! High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly. 100 out of 10 stars! We stayed at the Aria in Vegas for my bachelorette party and had several rooms. The first morning, we were ALL talking about the pillows! I'm pretty sure these are the same ones!" —Shawna Hathaway

Get a set of two from Amazon for $41.97+ (available in three sizes). 

The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. The OG formula is suitable for all hair types, but there are also options specifically for blonde, brown, and black hair. 

Promising review: "After searching far and wide, this is the only dry shampoo that I will ever use! I’ve tried countless brands and spent so much money searching for the perfect dry shampoo. This one has the least harmful ingredients and the most noticeable results! I apply it to my roots and brush through right before going to bed. In the morning, my hair doesn’t look oily at all! By the third day, there is a noticeable texture from the product, but that personally helps me style my hair to stay in a cute, messy bun. This is the only dry shampoo I will ever recommend!" —Brenda Spinache

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

Promising review: "I’ve had dark circles under my eyes since I was a kid. I always hated them and used makeup to cover them so I didn’t look like I had two black eyes. I did my research and read the reviews, and figured, why not give it a try? Idk what’s in this stuff, but my dark circles disappeared within 5 mins. I am sooo happy!!!! I will keep this in my skincare routine for the rest of my life!!!" —Latoya Jackson

Here's what my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Gabriela Manjarrez has to say:

"I spent three weeks traveling through eight different European cities, and let me tell you — bringing these sandals with me was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. My most worn pair of shoes during my trip, hands down. The reasons I was on the hunt for comfy sandals were 1. I didn't want my feet enclosed all day while trekking the whole city in warm weather, and 2. Some outfits simply pair better with sandals. I hiked up to the Acropolis of Athens in these babies, and that stone floor was slippery. And still, out of my group of 11 family members and friends, I was the first one to make it to the top (and yes, I did brag). I even told two of my friends that went with me to get these for the trip, and they were eternally grateful for my rec."

Promising review: "As someone who owns several pairs of Birks, these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks, but I couldn’t find the soft footbed version of them. I saw these and thought I might as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg, they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable, too! Great quality." —Lee

Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and 19 colors). 

Garden Guru is a small business that sells lawn and garden tools.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Home and Garden Editor Sally Elshorafa says:

"After moving to the East Coast, I quickly learned that the stone pathways around my home are basically a spa retreat for moss and weeds. The cracks collect moisture, trap organic debris, and offer *just* enough shelter to help unwanted greenery flourish, especially with all the shade and rain we get. I didn't want my outdoor space to turn into a jungle, so I grabbed this tool and got to work. It's weirdly satisfying — kind of like flossing, but for your stone paths. The bent tip slides right into the cracks and pulls weeds out from the root, which helps keep them from coming back anytime soon. I've used it on my pathways, driveway, and anywhere else something tries to sprout where it shouldn't. The handle is comfortable, and it doesn't take much effort to use. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites. If you've got hardscaping, you need this in your toolkit." 

Promising review: "I love this thing! I was having a difficult time hand weeding, and couldn't get the roots up most of the time, so the weeds have come back quickly. With this, I can dig down deep and pull up from the root! It is more difficult to use on my driveway, where the asphalt has cracked in different directions, but it's still helpful when pulling them up. I cannot recommend this enough!" —Heather Adney

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 'universal' Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!"

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have several that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." —Hamps5

Get it from Amazon for $8 (also available in three other shades). 

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first bought this product. After months of battling with a stubborn sink that just wouldn’t drain, I had tried everything — and I mean everything — short of calling a plumber. I decided to give Yugou a shot as my last-ditch 'Hail Mary,' and I’m so glad I did! Not only was it incredibly easy to use, but it also worked effectively. I couldn’t believe it. The sink is now flowing and draining better than it ever has before, and dare I say... it was even kind of fun to use! Bonus: It has a lovely, fresh scent that leaves the bathroom smelling great. I’ll definitely be buying more of this magic in a bottle once I’ve finished this review, as it’s also perfect for preventative maintenance. Highly recommend!" —Janet Anders

This is IP44 waterproof certified, meaning it can withstand splashes of water. DO NOT put this in the water with you (obviously!) or place it somewhere precarious where it can fall into the water or will get wet — but know that it'll be ok if splashed. Your nighttime shower mood lighting will be just as cozy with this on your bathroom counter or shelf. Safety first!

Promising review: "I bought this kind of as a joke for our shower, but it's the best thing I've purchased so far in 2025! It's easy to use, love the dimmer, and it creates a nice ambiance." —Holla

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" —Rina

Promising review: "This gel is a lifesaver for me. It's a lightweight, cool, soothing gel that moistens my nasal passages at night, allowing me to get restful sleep. It was recommended to me by my allergy doctor. I use it every night without fail. Try it and see!" —Jeanie 

Promising review: "I opened this and immediately DROWNED myself in this oil. It smells so good. This will be a monthly repurchase for me for the rest of my life. The smell is SO yummy and easy to layer. 10/10 I am HOOKED." —Brenna Livingston

Check out a TikTok of this mask in action.

Promising review: "What an amazing mask! I will probably be using these for the rest of my life!! All of my girlfriends are buying them too. We are all over 60, and our daughters in their '20s and '30s are now also buying them. Every single mask they have is 100% AMAZING! 🤩" —Kat

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

Reviewers do say it has a bit of...spice...to it. So if you experience a tingling sensation, that's totally normal! Some people also said the closer you get to the bottom of the tube, the harder it is to get the product out — so you may want to grab a squeezer to prevent that from happening!

Promising review: "At first, I was kind of skeptical. But after a week of using it, there is a difference. The age beige is disappearing. My teeth are much whiter and on the way to being much brighter. My breath is much fresher and without my buds being tasteless. Yes, it does taste and even smell like Pepto Bismol — but it's absolutely magical. No more regular toothpaste that absolutely does nothing but leave an unpleasant scent in your mouth as if you didn't brush." —Angelique Cox

Promising review: “Loooove! The thickness of this cream is on another level. You can not compare it to anything that is out there. It is a must after every shower. The fragrance is so long-lasting. I will repurchase this for the rest of my life. I’ve enrolled in auto-ship and even received better pricing! The added bonus is the refill container, no need to purchase a new container each time! Press 'Buy now' immediately." —Jenn1970

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS!! We always vacation in the summertime, and every time I walk in sandals, my feet always blister. Just got back from a six-day cruise and no blisters! Side note: this works better for your inner thighs than the body one by this brand." —Amazon Customer
