    33 Legitimately Transformative Products That Have Before-And-After Pictures To Back Them Up

    If you're doubtful, these products have evidence.

    1. A pack of pimple patches to absorb (or cover up) massive zits that seem to *exclusively* pop up whenever you have somewhere important to be.

    2. A leather cleaner to bring your old, worn-out furniture back to life and have it looking like it's fresh off the showroom floor.

    3. And a wood polish that'll do pretty much the same thing for a coffee table. It'll also create a protective layer that helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading.

    4. A cleanser and polishing powder to restore your tarnished cookware, and once again make your most cherished pots and pans presentable enough to post your cooking photos on Instagram.

    5. A tote organizer for anyone whose purse is basically a bottomless abyss of jumbled items.

    6. A jewelry-cleaning pen with a twist-to-dispense design that makes cleaning your precious stones so easy, you'll do it just for fun.

    7. An incredibly effective carpet cleaner that passes the smell test as well as the eye test, in that it removes stains *and* eradicates even the most stubborn odors.

    8. A wildly popular hair serum that folks who live in humid areas (or have hair that's simply sensitive to heat) absolutely need in their lives. It's packed with vitamin E, aloe vera, and argan oil so that summertime frizz will be a thing of the past.

    9. Medicated, waterproof bandages – they've saved reviewers a ton of money at the doctor's office as well as a decent amount of inconvenience — and it works super quick!

    10. Icky-tasting (but safe!) nail polish that's so unpleasant you'll chew on a jean jacket before wanting to bite your nails again.

    11. Apple cider shampoo and conditioner to help with hair loss and dandruff (am I the only one who's just now learning about all the different things apple cider–based products can do?).

    12. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets for your water bottle(s), which are super simple to use and probably fun to watch if you like seeing fizzy things. The best part is there's no scrubbing required.

    13. A Bug Bite Thing (no, really, that's what it's called) to suck out all the nasty venom and saliva left behind by mosquitos each summer — that means less swelling and itching, and more fun in the sun!

    14. An ink and stain remover that'll get rid of accidental pen stains made by clumsy adults, or Sharpie marker masterpieces made by children who don't respect people's property.

    15. Or this red-wine stain remover for boozier sorts of stains. Your rug, couch, and favorite blanket will thank you.

    16. Glossier Solution to gently remove dead skin cells and gradually reveal that picture perfect complexion you always knew was there to begin with.

    17. A snout soother, because our furry friend's need to be well-moisturized too! This thing will keep their noses ready for sniffs all day long.

    18. And a pet earwax cleaner to clean out all the gunk they've got stored in there. Hopefully this means they'll hear you better when you tell them to pipe down during your Zoom meeting.

    19. A hanger organizer, because sometimes we need an extra organization tool to help us organize the things that are supposed to keep us organized in the first place — it's organization inception!

    20. A pack of Magic Eraser dupes that work just as well as the name brand sponges but are a lot cheaper. Think of the money you'll save over the years.

    21. A bottle of CND Essentials nail and cuticle Solaroil so that broken and peeling nails will be a thing of the past.

    22. A set of drill brushes that'll allow you to scrub counters, car wheels, sinks, windows, and more. You'll be super stoked to do those chores you've been not-so-secretly avoiding for weeks.

    23. A twisty cable protector to protect your chargers and thwart Apple's agenda to have you buy a new one every other month.

    24. And a pack of moldable glue just in case you do need something to fix frayed chargers. It also works well on holes in shoes, broken toys, and pretty much anything else you can think of.

    25. A grout pen that'll...well...hide dirty grout. Which is a quick and easy project for lazy people who'd rather not spend an entire afternoon actually *removing* dirty grout.

    26. And a toilet-scrubbing wand, because the only thing worse than a bathroom floor filled with grout is a dirty toilet.

    27. A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream for anyone whose newfound commitment to the gym has also come with an unexpected commitment to calluses and cracked skin. This is also a lifesaver for people who've been washing their hands more than ever since the pandemic started (no judgment — props on the improvement!) and are experiencing more dryness than usual.

    28. An itty-bitty toenail brace set to flatten out your curved nails and prevent them from jabbing into your skin and becoming ingrown.

    29. A shoe-shining kit if your boots were made for significantly less walking than you put them through — use this to make Nancy Sinatra proud and return them to their former glory.

    30. Two pairs of baby feet masks that'll shed all the dead skin that's been keeping you out of flip flops for years.

    before: feet in bags during: peeling feet after: nice and smooth feet

    31. A John Frieda hot-air brush, which is one of the most versatile hair appliances you could buy. Instead of having to hold both a brush and a blow-dryer simultaneously to style your hair, you can now free up one of your hands for selfies — because the world deserves to see this thing in action.

    32. Liquid plant food to make sure your little green children are not only hydrated and bathed in sunshine, but also well fed! This thing is basically a multivitamin for plants (if only it came in the shape of Flintstones characters).

    33. A pet brush specifically designed for dogs with dense fur to loosen and lighten their undercoat and prevent future mats. I mean just look at how neat and handsome the pooch in this photo looks. They deserve to be on the cover of doggy GQ!
