Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and have used countless types of oil blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. They're a great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. I'll never go back to other brands. Give these a try — they're completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use. I have no negative things to say at all." —Kelsey

Promising review: "This is the best mask! Used it back in the day for my acne and now that I’m almost 30 I’m using it for age prevention! I have a lot of dry-skin issues including psoriasis and this works wonders! Tidbit: a little goes a long way. Don’t overpour or you’ll end up with a lot of face mask left over!" —Rachel Jones

Promising review: "I've loved these since I started using them years ago. So much simpler to use, less mess, and less chance of wasting product than from a pour bottle. I have only ever needed one pod per load, even large loads, and never had an issue with items not being clean (but I have a standard washing machine, not one that has a super-massive basin). Additionally, I have never had them stain clothing or not dissolve properly. I toss them in before the machine is loaded with clothing or water. A bit pricier than a bottle of detergent, but they're even more worth it when you can get them on a deal!" —Amy

Promising review: "I really like this concealer for everyday use. Let me start off by saying I’m an admitted makeup addict so I have a ton of concealers, mostly more expensive ones, but this little gem really surprised me. I have very sensitive skin, especially around my eyes, and this concealer didn’t bother me at all. It works well, not super-glam-perfect-canvas well but great for a natural everyday look. It’s quick and easy to put on and doesn’t crease or wear off easily. It washes off easily with soap though. This is my new go to concealer for quick everyday makeup." —Amanda

Promising review: "Let's get real here. No one wants to smell it. This has improved my quality of life. My husband has his bathroom time in the morning. We have one bathroom and four people living in our household. I no longer have to consider the bushes next to our house. Buy this, and be set free." —Tabitha Spore

Promising review: "This is the best sheet to use to remove grease stains. I was able to clean the microwave easily. Hope this picture shows the difference. I did not need to scrub. Just a few wipes and the dirt was gone. Smells like you’re eating an actual orange...big plus for me. My hands did not get dry after using, either." —OneSourOne

Promising review: "I used these training pads 14 years ago to train my new little girl not to pee in the house. Fast-forward — almost 15 years later — my sweet old lady's kidneys are failing and I find myself again reaching for the training pads to deal with her incontinence. The pads have a gel center that holds even the full amount of an adult dog’s pee. They also change color so that it is easy to see when one has been used. I simply pick the pad up by the most dry corner, dispose of it, and put down a fresh pad." —C

This noncomedogenic beauty staple is also oil-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free!
Promising review: "This is the most amazing moisturizer I have ever used. I have an oily T-zone, and have always had a hard time with moisturizers feeling greasy on my skin. This one is so light but so effective. A tiny little bit covers your entire face, and it feels like you have nothing on your face at all. You're left with your skin feeling soft and smooth. When I tell people that I'm going to turn 53, they never believe me. They say I look 35. Thank God for this product!" —Charlotte Wooden-Hillis

Promising review: "OMG I love love love these diapers! I usually buy another brand but every store has been sold out. So I bought these by chance and I'm so glad I did. So, far I have not had one blow out in these diapers and no leaking. They are big enough for my six-month-old, 18-pound girl. They are soft and I love the little blue gripper strips on the front tabs it holds the diaper in place because my little girl is so squirmy. I can honestly say these are better than other brands I have used in the past." —courtney

Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls — and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

Promising review: "My sweet older doggie has developed anxiety over the years. My vet recommended we try a natural anxiety remedy for him. We put a few of these in his bowl each day and they seem to be helping! He used to get worked up for a solid half hour every day when I got home from work, follow me around the house constantly, lick his legs, and 'cry' even if I just left the room. He seems much calmer now and more like his old self. Buying again!" —Natalie R

Promising review: "I switched from using makeup pads and makeup remover for environmental purposes, and switched over to reuseable makeup cloths and micellar water. This has been my favorite, as it removes makeup and cleanses skin. I have very sensitive skin, so I just use this on my face at night and follow up with a light moisturizer. This combination has done wonders for my skin, and I keep on coming back to this one by Garnier because I've had no negative side effects." —Claire

Promising review: "Love this product! The citrus scent is very nice and not overwhelming. I've used this on everything from countertops to bathroom floors and it feels better knowing that it's killing germs as well as giving me streak-free shiny clean surfaces. This is my second order and will for sure by this again!" —Angelic Glam

Promising Review: "I just want to make my morning routine as easy as possible. i love winged liner, but I don’t have the steady hand for it without mistakes. This makes the perfect and consistent wing every time. Love it! I ordered the 10 mm, and now i’ll have to try the 12 mm!" —Julie B

Promising review: "It’s important to exfoliate your face so that when you use your serums, oils, and creams they can all be absorbed properly. This product is amazing. Immediately my dead skin was balling up and after washing off, my skin was glowing! Blackheads were removed and my dry-skin patches smoothed. I slept with a moisture mask and in the morning I was like a new woman." —Alexandra L Plazas

Promising review: "OMG, finally something that works! I've had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I've tried everything: over-the-counter medication, prescription medication, pain injections, going to the chiropractor, etc. This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I've only had two or three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I've already ordered more so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines — it's phenomenal." —Mary D.

Promising review: "I had a stained mattress that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give this a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even remember what caused the stains, but it removed them! I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" —Little Greek

Promising review: "This product is just perfect for my skin type! I’m using it every night and it’s helping me a lot with my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation problems caused by my last acne outbreak. I have been using this product for 1.5 months and the results are visible. My skin looks more hydrated and the dark spots have cleared. (I’m also using benzoyl peroxide–based acne treatment to control my acne while I’m using this product.)" —Desiree

Promising review: "I do not claim to understand the science behind these tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit, and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick, pick, pick." —Adg

Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super-cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my Subscribe & Save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila

Just a note that you don't have to lay your edges, but this is great if you do!
Promising review: "Girl! This edge control is bomb. I have 4b/4c hair and this lays my edges no problem! It even survives the Caribbean heat. It didn’t turn white on me unless I packed too much on, but I just sprayed with some water before I applied and it worked out. It smells GREAT and it’ll last me ages. I bought it, like, months ago and I still have about half left and I use it every day. GREAT bang for your buck." —Chelsea R.

Promising review: "No matter what I do or what expensive and high-rated product I try, my flyaways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top-of-head flyaway frizz! I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smooths my hair out and truly lasts all day. Be careful, as a tiny bit goes a long way!" —RachelOK

Promising review: "I thoroughly love these. I force each company I work for to buy these. I work with many actors who have to conceal any cuts before performing onstage. I’ve never had so many folks get excited over bandages and that they actually match our skin tone." —Jes

Promising review: "This deep-cleansing pore strips are amazing! I warm up my face with hot water and leave areas for application wet, then apply the strips! Having an acne-prone skin, this really removes all the blackheads!! I also take a face strip and cut it in half for chin and forehead." —kat12

Promising review: "My right ear was totally plugged so I went to the pharmacy, and the pharmacist said that this is the one doctors usually tell patients to get. I put the drops in, waited, then flushed my ear out with very warm water, and OH MY GOSH... The gunk that came flowing out onto the towel blew my mind! It's amazing that I was ever able to hear at all with all that crap in my ear. This stuff works." —CD

Promising review: "As someone who can shred her legs, these razors are a MUST HAVE ITEM! The day I had my knee replacement, I had such a bad razor injury that if it had been on my operative leg, my surgery would’ve had to be canceled!! So I must use razors for sensitive skin. The handle is ergonomic, which makes for a better grip. The three blades help in getting all those hairs shaved off all the curves of the leg. The moisture piece does seem to make the razors shave more easily. This is my “Go-To” brand of women’s razors. The razors sharpness seem to last a long time for me. I feel a bit safer using these than I do others, especially the brand I used the morning of my knee replacement (I needed four bandages to cover that horrid wound)! Hurray, Bic!" —Sany123

Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would've thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey
