Promising reviews: "This product leaves my hair soft and silky every time I use it. It’s a miracle product. There isn’t much of a scent, which is fine. It only takes a small pea-sized amount. When I first purchased this product my hair was very dry and I had just been to the salon where the stylist commented that she could tell I colored and blew my hair dry often, not exactly something you want to hear, so I had a salon treatment done. My stylist, of course, suggested I come back more often and pay the exorbitant price of the salon every other week. I don’t think it was all that horrible but it was dry. I found this product on Amazon and used it instead. I’m really glad I did bc it’s saved me a ton of money." —Laura's things
"First time trying this product and it made my hair so soft!!!! I don't regret purchasing it!" —Amado

I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK

Promising review: "Better than my $90 eye cream!! I cannot believe that I haven’t heard of this product sooner! Helped to reduce the appearance of my dark circles within a few weeks. It instantly smoothed fine lines and layers beautifully under my concealer. Hydration lasts all day. I know not all products work for everyone but this is worth a shot given the price is right. I’m just excited that I found a better, less expensive alternative to a pricey eye cream" —Maria

Promising review: "I've been using this for a couple of months now and I really like it! Previously I've used Clinique or Origins...this works just as well or better. I wish I had found this sooner as it is a lot less expensive than other alternatives. I've seen other reviewers say they keep it in the fridge and while I don't find that necessary I may have to try because it sounds very refreshing!" —Cat SV

Talk to your doctor before using this product if you're experiencing hair loss. Read more about biotin shampoo and hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

If it is in your cart buy it now!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of two).
13. Essence's Lash Princess mascara adored by thousands of reviewers because it truly delivers on its promises by adding volume and length to your lashes. You'll kick yourself for buying expensive name brands for so long, but not anymore!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd swears by this mascara and said: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. Plus, it's cruelty-free!" Peep more deets in her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

Promising review: "Why haven't I found this stuff sooner?!? My lashes are thin, sparse, uneven, and falling out. Big hot mess. I'm a mom so I don't have time to do false eyelashes. But this stuff makes my lashes look longer, darker and fuller. And after I take off my makeup, my lashes still look long, feel soft, and are noticeable. I don't know how I lived without this stuff." —A Rose
Get it from Amazon for $8.15 (also available in packs of two).

Psst! TikTokers love this thing!
Promising review: "Years of stubborn whiteheads and blackheads gone after a few uses! I wish I had bought this sooner! I’ve been struggling with deep whiteheads and blackheads on my chin and nose for years. I get monthly facials with microdermabrasion and it barely helps. After about a week's worth of use out of this, they are finally coming to the surface and can be extracted!" —Allie
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
16. Bio-Oil with endless benefits so you'll never run out of uses for it! It's great for evening your skin tone, fading stretch marks, and reducing the appearance of acne scars.

Promising review: "I just bought this and oh my goodness, the difference in my cystic acne scars is amazing. The damage is already starting to disappear and this product just got a return customer.

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).
17. A pore-clearing cleansing oil when you want results you can *actually* see. This stuff removes all traces of makeup and sucks sebum from your pores so that your skin is visibly clearer and smoother! Once you witness the proof, you'll only wish you'd bought it sooner 👀.
BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.
Promising reviews: "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I’ve gone through 3-4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly a heaven-send. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don’t wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right]." —rexichor
"Got it because it was all over my TikTok and I wanted to try the double cleansing. And wow, I don't regret it, it's amazing!!!! Leaves my skin so soft and so hydrated. I use it before my water base cleanser and it has helped me reduce my breakouts. I love the texture, the smell is very subtle (you can barely smell it) and I just love it." —Linette González
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
18. Mighty Patches, which are truly ~tiny but mighty~ with the power to pull gunk out of zits. Put one on at bedtime and behold the grossness (but also amazingness, tbh) when you wake up. And if you have trouble with picking and popping, you'll be thrilled to add these to your skincare routine!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."
Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets!
Promising review: "I had never heard of these and LUCKILY I found them while browsing same-day shipping items and decided to give them a try. I started dermaplaning recently and I get a pimple almost every time I do. These little patches actually work, they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I wish I'd known about them sooner!!!" —MV

Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in four styles).
20. A foot file that'll help get rid of crusty feet immediately. Instead of going to the nail salon for rough calluses or cracked skin, rub this file on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off. Can you believe you lived with those crusties all this time? Me neither.
Promising review: "Okay, so I’m still in shock how well this worked and gave me soft beautiful heels again! I’ve had dry, cracked 'teeth' on my heels since eight years ago from being a server at two restaurants…and I’m like WHY DIDN’T I discover this sooner?! It had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to wear sandals in public because they just looked so gross. Then one day I realized that I should probably try SOMETHING because they were getting so bad that the 'teeth' would scratch my leg at night when my foot swiped my leg and it hurt haha so I saw this Rikans file for $10 and after some research decided to give it a shot. I honestly thought it would take at least 10 sessions before I’d see any improvement but NO! This tool just grated my teeth away in ONE session." —benjamin kim
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
21. Or, a callus-removing gel if the thought of repeatedly scrubbing or filing your feet gives you the willies. Now you can solve the problem with very little effort on your end.
Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver. I bought this and a pedicure kit. Had I known how good this would work I would have just purchased this. I had no idea this existed. I have been living in pain for years due to a callus on my foot that comes and goes after a lot of work. This stuff melts the skin away. I am amazed and wish I found it sooner." —Samantha Sims
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in packs of two).
22. A truly transformative L'Oreal lamellar water rinse-out treatment — it'll ~treat~ your hair to next-level softness in a matter of seconds... literally. Lather it on wet lengths, massage for eight seconds, and rinse it out. That's the best magic trick I've ever seen!
Shine in a silicone-free product?! Dreams really do come true. Reviewers with everything from stick straight to 4c curls love this product.
Promising reviews: "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 of 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 have 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. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey
Promising review: "Used this for the first time and I love it! Made my dry hair shiny and healthy looking! I wish I would have discovered this product sooner!" —Riley

In the photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the sun milk, after application, and how the product looks under makeup.
Promising review: "Absolute best sunscreen for sensitive skin! This was my first time purchasing this product and I have no regrets! I have a difficult time finding a daily wear sunscreen that will not only offer protection but not irritate my skin, not cause breakouts, and look great under my makeup. I have tried so many and with this product, I’ve finally found everything I was looking for! It causes absolutely no irritation or breakouts and it doesn’t pill when I apply my foundation or powder. It does have a slight fragrance but it’s very mild and since it doesn’t irritate my skin or eyes, I don’t mind. It absorbs very quickly and as someone who has a darker skin tone, I notice it leaves no white cast, which I love!" —CheyCheyChey
Get it from Amazon for $19.70.
24. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller to help you bid farewell to that unwelcome shiny, oily layer that suddenly appeared after doing your makeup. This magical tool will absorb it with just a few swipes. No extra powder required!

Promising reviews: "I never write product reviews but I am OBSESSED with this product...I am so glad I decided to try something new. I've been using it for less than a week and my pores are smaller, skin tone is more even, breakouts are under control and fading at least twice as fast as usual, and my skin is GLOWING. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin that is annoyingly combination. I haven't found this to be overly drying or irritating in any way. I would recommend this product to anyone." —Amazon Customer
"I wish I discovered this product sooner in my life. I had developed milia all over my forehead after having kids. It was all over and it made me insecure in many ways. I read reviews on this product and it has changed my life for the better. It cleared up all of my milia and skin imperfections. It is a remarkable product and I will never use anything else again.

Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!
Promising reviews: "Oh. My. Gosh. Let me start off by saying I HATE doing my hair. It's long, straight, and really fine so I just let it air dry and call it a day but that leaves it flat, frizzy, and a little wavy in the back. Well I got this puppy in the mail today so immediately jumped in the shower so I could use my new drying brush and this thing is literally magic! It dried it so silky smooth and gave me so much volume. I used it on the low setting first then high and was blown away. I will forever be drying my hair this way. I feel like a hair model LOL. So basically ... just buy the thing. You won't regret it!" —Chloe512
"I love this, I wish I would have bought it sooner. Best purchase ever and most definitely would buy again. I absolutely love how it leaves my hair, soft and shiny. I don’t even need to straighten my hair because I have curly hair care. This helps me get ready in half the time that I would have to brush it. Blow dry it and flat iron this works." —Miriam Ramos
Get it from Amazon for $34+ (available in three styles).
Many reviewers with curl types 4a-c prefer the oval brush, but if you're looking to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step paddle brush instead.

I love my skin, but I also get super annoyed with little bumps that seem to never go away. My face is actually so smooth now though. I have oily skin, and I was nervous I'd be a huge ball of grease after using this but nope, not at all! I use it at night and in the morning my skin is perfectly moisturized. Safe to say that I'm in love and their products are staples in my skincare routine. Don't regret repurchasing this at all, ever."
Promising review: "I have struggled with cystic acne for a decade, and this oil is the only thing that works for me.

Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" —Blackburn's

I have had the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now, which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I’ve been using once a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I’m scared to stop using it.

It is very easy to apply and blend and while it provides good coverage it doesn't feel or look heavy. I've added it to my daily routine following moisturizer even on 'low makeup' days where I'm really only slapping on mascara and lip gloss." —cav6

Radha Beauty is a small business that offers a slew of all-natural, organic beauty products.
Promising review: "I've been meaning to purchase rosehip oil for a while and kept putting it off. I only regret not trying it sooner. After my evening cleanse, I use about six drops and gently push it into the skin on my face and neck. The difference even after the first week is uncanny. Clear, smooth, even – never greasy. I'm thinking about trying it on my scalp, as well, before I wash my hair, to promote hair growth. A definite must for your skincare routine and at the price point, you can't beat it. Will definitely be repurchasing." —The Planned Paralegal
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

Promising review: "I hope this never gets discontinued because it will take me forever to go through the bottle, but I love it. The color LOVE is so perfect, and I imagine will be great on so many skin tones. So pigmented. Honestly really fun to use. It seems overwhelming and like a lot of pigment, but it blends so well. TikTok made me buy it, and I definitely don’t regret it. I will probably end up buying other colors." —AlexaX

37. A scalp massager when your neglected scalp needs to be rescued, stat. This helps rejuvenate your scalp by breaking down product buildup, and it just feels really nice, too.
Promising review: "I LOVE this brush! My hair is really thick, so I always have a problem with my scalp not getting clean. No matter what I tried, I’d always end up finding itchy spots where there’s still shampoo or conditioner left in my hair. With this, my scalp finally feels CLEAN. It also helps with my shedding problem, since I find hair in the [wildest] places. With this brush, I have a lot of loose hair right after I shower, then much less for the rest of the time. It’s amazing, and I wish I had bought one much sooner." —JustSayErin

Promising reviews: "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy
"I love lip stains and I’ve tried them all. This is by far the best. I only wish I’d gotten it sooner. It’s been sitting on my wishlist for a while. Fantastic, lasting color." —Shana

39. Fanola Purple Shampoo that'll tone down brassy hair with violet pigments. If your blonde strands are turning yellow, this trusty formula will help even it out before your next salon visit. Plus, it only takes a few minutes to apply in the shower!
There's also a vegan version available for your hair care routine!
Promising review: "This is the queen of purple shampoos. I am only upset that I did not discover this sooner. I cannot speak to the moisturizing nature, the scent, or anything else like that because I shampoo my hair with Innersense and then layer my purple shampoo on top of that and lather really well, but I can tell you there is literally no orange in my hair at all. It is very difficult to get the orange tones out. But between my hairstylist and this amazing purple shampoo, I have achieved a beautiful, no orange-toned, wheat-looking blonde color. It is literally my dream hair color. I’m thinking of taking this shampoo to my next color appointment so my stylist can see it—and to make sure she doesn’t use anything else on me." —dani

"Perfect for curls! I was a bit skeptical about this hair oil because I have never found an oil that works for my fine 3a curls, but this is the best hair oil on the market! It hydrates the hair and leaves it shiny but not weighed down or greasy. Plus the smell is to die for. I wish I had tried this oil sooner!" —Louiebylizzie
