Promising review (wearing Smooth Neutral): "I AM OBSESSED with this nail system. My nails look better than they have in a long time. Lasts perfectly for about a week with heavy use of hands, which is the longest I’ve had a nail polish last. Looks like you have a subtle milky polish. The pictures are with two coats, looks even better in person!" —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in four shades).

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody that has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened. (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods.)"

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in different sizes).

Promising review: "These are perfect for under dresses, even in the hot, humid summer. The pocket is perfect to slip my phone in so I can be hands-free. Great quality! I have two pairs, one black and one beige." —Amanda Martinez

Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, three lengths, and in 12 colors). 

But please don't eat it for real, lol. Reviewers also say it's kinda spicy, 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 — here's a squeezer to prevent that from happening!

Promising reviews: "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

"I have never had a toothpaste make my teeth slay this hard. They’re SO white. I was upset because I had been through so many teeth whitening treatments, and yet my teeth were still yellow and felt stained. It’s been a few days, and my teeth already look at least seven shades lighter. There are so many toothpastes that say 'whitening' and don’t do the job, but this one ACTUALLY whitens, which feels like a rare find. It’s also minty, and my mouth feels super fresh every time I use it. If you’re tired of having yellow teeth, this toothpaste is going to do its job and blow you away!! Never going back to any other toothpaste, I am too in love with these results." —Alexis Myer

Promising reviews: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has good things to say about this! Check out her Fullstar veggie chopper review.

Check out a TikTok of the vacuum in action. 

I just got this and omg...I'm obsessed. I HATE cleaning — and I hate deep cleaning the most. It's too time consuming and it hurts my back, but alas, I am an adult with two cats and a house full of carpet, so I have to deep clean regularly. This was the best purchase I have made in my adult life so far. It cut down the time it takes for me to clean *so* significantly that I barely even register vacuuming as a chore anymore. If you're lazy but also want your house to be clean, just get this now. 

Promising review: "BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER BOUGHT! I moved into a brand new apartment complex that was just built, and after being there for a week with three cats, I decided to vacuum the carpet and rugs. TO SAY MY JAW DROPPED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. The suction without a doubt is the best one I’ve ever had (including several Dysons). It is lightweight to push, and going from carpet to wood floors is amazing. The attachments make vacuuming my couch so easy that I’m done in under five minutes!!! BUY THIS VACUUM TODAY!!!" —Skylar Blick

Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).  

Promising review: "I've been using this pillow for a week now and can't be happier. I thought I could never sleep without sweating until I used this pillow. No sweating and no waking up in the middle of the night. My life has changed because I can sleep at night. Awesome pillow!!!!!!" —Farhad

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I’ve been using it for a little over a month, and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However, this stuff IS GREAT!" —Shay M. 

It's color-adapting, so one of four shades will work well for any skin tone! To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.

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 five shades). 

Promising review: "TikTok was right — these actually work. As someone who suffers from dust allergies, I have no idea how I didn't get an air purifier before. Love this product, it's easy to connect and remote manage via the app." —Gil Hirak

Get it from Amazon for $68.94+ (available in black or white). 

Promising review: "This is the only dishwasher soap we use in our house at this point. We're on a subscription, so we never run out, and it consistently gets tough, stuck-on food off dishes and pots without needing to pre-scrub. Even baked-on grime comes off clean. Reliable results load after load — highly recommend if you're tired of dishes coming out with spots or leftover residue." —Jennifer Henry

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

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord swears by these toothbrushes: "I usually use an electric toothbrush, 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. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN 

Dr. Tung's is a small biz that makes breath-improving dental products.

Promising review: "I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I've tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks).

Make sure to apply these at night (preferably *riiiiight* before you go to bed), because they'll need about 4–5 hours of inactivity before they can take effect. 

Promising reviews: "This product is fantastic! I have hyperhidrosis so I have struggled to find effective treatments for my underarm sweating. With this product, As long as use as directed, making sure to go to bed after the 5 minutes drying period, the product is incredibly effective at minimizing underarm sweat. I did still need to use deodorant, but I can finally wear light colored shirts without fear of the dreaded giant pit stain. I am definitely happy I made this purchase.

Update: Months later and this is STILL my holy grail product. I have forgotten deodorant before and with this product you cannot tell the difference. I wish I knew about this product sooner. Really really changed my life for the better." —Kayla S 

"SweatBlock is awesome!! I traveled to Vegas for a five-day convention and did not sweat once in any of my jackets or gowns! I'd researched ways to preserve my clothes, and these Five-Star Ratings are well deserved! SweatBlock is now my holy grail of defense against perspiration. My only suggestion is don't dry shave and then apply. It will cause irritation!" —LindsK

Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." —Nikita

Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action. 

Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L

"What is this miracle in a jar?! The way my skin is so smooth right after the first use is [wild]. I will buy these for the rest of my life as long as I am breathing. This is now my FAVORITE skin product besides my sunscreen. Love, love, loooove" —Ryan M.

Get a 70-pack from Amazon for $18.90 (available in six other styles).

It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. 

Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.94.

Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "It gets to be over 100 degrees in the summer where I live. These come in handy when working in the yard, at the beach or even at the county fair when it's super hot. What a relief these are to use when the weather is hot. I've purchased these many times because I always seem to give them out especially to those who work outside in the heat (mail carrier, pool guy, landscaper...) and they are always very appreciative." —Realfoodmama

Get a set of four from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 13 color sets).

It comes with the tank, a tough stain tool, a rinsing tool, a crevice-cleaning tool, and a mini bottle of cleaning solution. 

Promising review: "I found the Little Green machine because of a TikTok video; someone was cleaning their car seats and the water was absolutely disgusting, so obviously I was like I HAVE TO TRY THIS. So I ordered one and it was everything I ever hoped and more! We have three cats in the house whose favorite pastimes are puking, peeing, and occasionally stepping in their own poop and running across the only carpeted room in the entire house, you know how cats are. Anyway, this thing works SO well it tackles all of that and every other mess I've made to date! It's small enough it doesn't feel like a huge hassle to store it or pull it out, but also holds enough water I don't have to constantly run to refill it. I think it might be magic and I have a slightly unhealthy attachment to it at this point. I'm not sure if its always the case, but the box came with a coupon for two containers of the cleaner through Bissell too, which was a huge bonus!" —Stephani

BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $11.99!

This requires two AAA batteries, which are not included. 

Promising review: "I have used this Remington razor long enough now to say it is a great razor, and good for sensitive skin. I have found that it gives a good clean shave without leaving a sting on the skin. No pulling, no dragging, cuts close for even the toughest hairs. Low noise and speed is great. Shave smoothness lasts longer than throw away razors." —Bertha Green

PSA: Do not shake the bottle before use! 

Promising review: "I rarely ever get pimples, but every once in a while, when I do, they seem to last forever. A coworker of mine suggested I try this. I am SO happy I did. I had one very large pimple and two tiny ones — when I used this, they were all gone by the time I woke up. It does have a semi-potent smell, but it goes away after applying. I have never used a product like this before. I am so pleased to have this. I have very sensitive and dry skin, and this did not irritate my skin at all. I find it fun to put on. Would definitely buy again in the future." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $15.30+ (available in glass or plastic bottle, and in packs with drying patches).

Check out a TikTok of the Tumella umbrella in action.

Promising review: "Why would anyone want to purchase another umbrella with the warranty this one gives? Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E. Smoker

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at the Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to the Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a frankly STARTLING TikTok of Lumify in action — they are not joking about how fast it works! 

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 and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." —Angela Leonard

Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. 

Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it 2–4 times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. 

Promising reviews: "Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don’t run too hard! Gentle strokes." —Juliet

"Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." —Mandi Konesni

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six colors; also available in a set of two).

Promising review: "I bought these brushes thinking they might be handy, but they turned out to be amazing! I can clean places that are practically impossible to reach with anything else. The bristles are thin yet sturdy, allowing them to fit into tight spaces and do the job perfectly. Definitely a great buy!" —Homa

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99.

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. It is really lightweight and doesn’t feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn’t overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" —Savannah

Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "RUN to buy this, I repeat… RUN. I bought one of these about two years ago and it’s STILL going strong. Aquaphor is amazing, we all know that. Buuut the convenience of having it in a tube is life changing. It truly is as easy as one, two, three. It can easily be applied to anything you could possibly need. I’ve used it on brand new tattoos, dry/chapped skin (hands, feet, legs, lips etc.) and the edge of my hair line to protect my skin from hair dye!" —Tfossa007

Promising review: "I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak. I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." —Lacey D. 

Get it from Amazon for $16.50 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "Great product. Does exactly what it claims to do. It has got me through a bad nerve injury in the forefront of both feet at same time and could barely walk or sleep. Without this product, the pain was so intense. Worth the price!" —Amazon Customer 

Several reviewers also recommend this for stainless-steel coffee pots! All you have to do is fill your bottle with warm water, drop a single tablet in, and let it fizz the gunk away. The tablet dissolves completely, so once you dump out the water, you can use your bottle again right away! Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on Bottle Bright.

I use these to clean my water bottle, and they turned a really tedious task into a breeze. I also like to shake my bottle to make sure the solution really gets into the straw of my HydroFlask. 

Promising review: "In all my years of attempting to remove the tea stains from my large white ceramic mug and metal tumblers, I have never come across anything as effective as this product; it is simply amazing (I wish I had taken before and after photos). I filled the mug with boiled water, dropped in a Bottle Bright cleaning tablet, and let it do its magic. Within one hour, the tea stains from the metal tumbler were lifted, literally, and floating. My white ceramic mug took a bit longer, but the result was also absolutely perfect, as if both of these drinking containers were brand-new." —Starr
