    28 Products I Was Skeptical About Until I Read The Reviews

    These reviews are helping me with my trust issues TBH.

    1. This genius vacuum will suck the poison out of horsefly bites, bee stings, and more. I initially wondered whether or not it'd actually help to get rid of pain or itching, but having read its reviews I'm now completely sold!

    2. Loads of products claim to decongest your pores, but it looks like this exfoliating glycolic acid-infused scrub has actually proved itself.

    3. I'm a little bit obsessed with these genius timers that change colour according to how cooked your eggs are. Folks say they're as effective as they are fun!

    4. I'd always thought you needed to file or extensively moisturise your feet to get rid of the hard skin on your heels, but the ratings for this low-effort callus balm proved me wrong.

    5. As someone with thin, brittle talons, I'm very happy to see that Sally Hansen's 'Hard As Nails' nail strengthener seems to actually deliver on its promise.

    6. Just when I thought getting rid of lingering pet smells had to be an Olympic-level sport, this low-effort, odour-eliminating stain remover comes along.

    7. I was truly convinced that nothing could get rid of my T-shirt-ruining under-boob sweat, but the ratings for this medicated Medipure powder changed my mind.

    8. This rosewater-infused toner contains no moisture-stripping alcohol or added oils, making it ideal for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.

    9. The iconic Tubshroom is a cult-status product for a reason – it's as effective as it is easy to use, and people say it picks up the fine hairs that other drain covers miss.

    10. This anti-dryness shampoo might just cure your itchiness and flaking. It's done wonders for people who thought that they had dandruff, only to realise that after using this hydrating formula that the real problem was a lack of moisture in their scalp!

    11. Customers have been wowed by this niacinamide serum, which promises to decongest your pores and smooth your skin.

    12. Tackle the root cause of dry skin by using this hydrating CeraVe cleanser. It'll restore your skin's natural barrier, helping to regulate your sebum levels in the long run!

    13. This mug-cleaning powder will help to transform truly dirty and stained mugs in no time.

    14. This reusable makeup remover cloth claims to get rid of your cosmetics (including waterproof mascara) with just water, and judging by its rave reviews, it must be doing something right.

    15. This inexpensive teeth whitening toothpaste has really wowed reviewers!

    16. This eco-friendly laundry egg promises to eliminate your need for laundry detergent entirely for around 1,000 washes, and no, I wouldn't have believed it either unless I'd gone through the glowing reviews.

    17. This rice cooker allows you to get perfectly-cooked grains in the microwave (yes, I thought it sounded too convenient to be true as well, but the thousands of positive reviews swayed me).

    18. I didn't think there was a topcoat out there that would give my fidgety, nail polish-picking (I know) self a long-lasting manicure, but that's exactly what this Seche Vite topcoat does!

    19. Oh boy, do people seriously love this lengthening lash serum.

    20. This car dehumidifier bag means you'll be able to walk into your car in the morning without having to face a fogged-up windshield.

    21. This anti-fog cloth is an absolute game-changer for people who wear glasses!

    22. This steam mop from Russell Hobbs will transform everything from dirty carpets to mucky tiles. Also, I'd just like you to think about the SATISFACTION of seeing stripes of clean carpet appear on your floor when you run this thing over it (*drools*).

    23. Mould is a pretty common problem in the UK, and our flat is no exception. This removal spray banished the unsightly marks from our ceiling where nothing else had worked!

    24. These spot-covering, zit-absorbing hydrocolloid patches took me from "surely these can't work as well as they claim they do" to "OMG I need five packs" in about two minutes.

    25. This water-repelling glass treatment will make driving in the rain that little bit easier.

    26. I thought this retinol eye cream was too cheap to work until I tried it.

    27. I never understand the phrase 'the straw that broke the camel's back' as deeply as I do when I spot deodorant stains on my freshly-washed shirt. Thankfully, if its reviews are anything to go by, Dr. Beckmann's stain remover is ridiculously effective!

    28. Not only will this protective spray get your shower gleaming without the need for scrubbing, but it'll also ensure that your unit stays clean throughout the week.
