Consider this sceptic converted.
I'm prone to *pretty* severe breakouts, so when I found this cheap acne cream that reviewers raved about, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm incredibly glad I did – it's gotten rid of my most severe spots, and now I use it daily to enjoy its results.
Price: £8.48.
Spray some of its enzyme-packed formula onto any affected surfaces and a thick foam will come out, which then works its limescale-destroying magic for five minutes at most.
Price: £3.50.
Leave this foaming spray on any affected areas for up to half an hour and then wipe it away to reveal a mildew-free surface underneath!
Price: £5.25.
The hydrocolloid patches stick to your skin and slowly draw the gunk out of your spots (so gross, but so satisfying). They also blur the edges of your spot and dull any redness when you're wearing them – what's not to love?!
Price: £5.69 for 24 patches.
This stick has gotten some rave reviews, so I was pretty keen to give it a go myself. I've been really impressed by how well it works and how easy it is to apply — I just run it over my forehead and wait for two minutes or so for its soothing formula to get to work! It's ideal if, like me, you're not a fan of taking painkillers every time you feel some tension in your forehead (and unlike with regular medication, you can reuse this product as many times as you want to).
Price: £3.60.
NGL, I was a *little* skeptical about this stuff because it sounded too good to be true. A couple of uses in though and I'm completely converted! It makes my skin look naturally dewy, smooth, and hydrated, and it feels really lightweight too.
Price: £13.38.
I've always wanted a heated air rack (if I have to lift one more still-damp pair of jeans from my current clothes horse three days after I've put them there, I'll scream), but it was hard to find one for less than around a hundred quid. Thankfully, this highly-rated option is under £70 and works brilliantly – it's cut my clothes' drying time by about a third, and it can hold loads of laundry too.
Price: £69.99.
They're made from durable and lightweight copper which is formed into rows of tiny combs. They can pick up everything from fine hairs to dust!
Price: £9.99.
The formula is packed full of lash-lengthening peptides and nourishing vitamin E, so your lashes will get stronger and look longer after repeated use. Customers (and my coworker) both say it leaves their lashes thicker, fuller, and is cost-effective too! It's as easy to apply as eyeliner thanks to the handy brush inside.
Price: £8.09.
As someone who has never had nail polish stay on my nails for more than about 12 hours without it chipping or flaking before, I was more than a little suspicious about the claims this topcoat makes. It promises to make your nail polish last longer without any chips(!) by penetrating through the nail varnish and bonding it to your nail beds, ensuring that it doesn't budge, yellow, or chip for ages. I thought I'd try it out seeing as it had gotten such rave reviews, and like literally thousands of other customers, I was surprised by how well it actually worked!
Price: £4.90.
It contains special molecules that prevent condensation from building up on your glasses, and it can be reused up to 700 times too. It's perfect for these chilly mornings!
Price: £16.95 for three.
Mineral deposits will collect in between its mesh wires rather than building up in your kettle. I can remove and rinse it quickly and easily whenever I need to, which is much easier than cleaning built-up mineral deposits from my most-used kitchen appliance!
Price: £2.56.
Ever since my dermatologist recommended CeraVe's hydrating cleanser for my dry, acne-prone skin, I've been addicted to its ceramide-packed, barrier-rebuilding formula. It's helped to heal dehydrated, almost-flaky skin while also banishing my ever-present spots, so I understand why my derm insisted that there's really no point buying anything pricier – when in comes to cleansers, the simpler, the better.
Price: £8.00.
It's brought my already-dry lips back from the verge of a mid-cold draught, which isn't surprising considering its rave reviews. Customers say it's helped their lips through intense stressors, like surgery and skin conditions (fine, I guess my sniffle isn't the toughest dilemma this intensive product is designed to tackle).
Price: £6.60 for 10ml.
I wear makeup almost every day, which is why I kept putting off buying reusable cotton rounds – surely even a pack of thirty would run out before my lazy self managed to machine-wash the used ones, right? Wrong, of course – I use one or two of these a night, so I only need to remember to wash them about every fortnight. They're made from sustainable bamboo, come with a handy wash bag that keeps them all together in your machine, and have lasted reviewers for ages!
Price: £8.95 for 30 rounds and a washbag.
If (like me) you've got long, fine, or unruly hair, it can be really hard to find a product that makes your tresses look truly smooth – so you can imagine how happy I was to find my ride-or-die solution for under four Great British pounds. Simply spray it onto your ends before heat-styling your hair for a glossy, smooth, and frizz-free finish!
Price: £3.11.
They're packed full of enzymes that break down the gunk and grease in your drains as they dissolve. All you'll have to do is put 'em in and leave them to get to work!
Price: £6.80 for 12.
