    39 Products With Such Magical Results, You’ll Feel Like A Certified Wizard For Owning ‘Em

    You're about to give Hermione Granger a run for her wand 🪄.

    1. piercing bump solution because you didn't go through the pain of a piercing for a pesky keloid to steal the spotlight! This magical formula is rich in oils, including jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help gradually reduce bumps and scars over time.

    This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!

    Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan Caprigno

    Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn’t get the smell out. I was convinced I’d need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I’d have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I’m excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" —Brittany

    Promising review: "This portable vacuum is amaaaaaazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard to reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that buy now button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha." —Abigail

    6. A game-changing nail biting polish when the phrase "old habits die hard" feels too real. If you wanna grow gorgeous nails instead of rockin' stubs, this stuff will have you believing in witchcraft.

    Promising review: "This really helps!!! I've been biting my nails to the nub for 24 years. I have nails now and I don't bite anymore; that's all I wanted. This product made that happen. It tastes SO bad, I never realized how much I subconsciously put my hands in my mouth until I used this. However, I figured I should warn you/give you guys a heads up, be prepared to taste this on ANY AND ALL foods you have to eat with your hands. To me, that was a small sacrifice I was DEFINITELY willing to make to get my nails to this point. I don't even need to use it anymore because now I'm more aware of my nails. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this product." —Kelsey Walton

    Promising review: "This is amazing! I went from super brittle nails that I could never grow out. I had acrylic nails for two years and I wanted a break; they were so thin and damaged from the acrylics. Now only after a few weeks my nails are completely healed and grown and will not break!

    Promising review: "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that…everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have [it] on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." —Kim Montero

    Promising review: "For demographic purposes: Female, 33 years old. I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK

    Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes). 

    10. A jewelry-cleaning pen, which should've been a series regular on Charmed, tbh. If your accessories have become dreadfully dull and you want 'em to ~shine bright like a diamond~ once again, buy this wand immediately!!!

    This cleaning pen has soft bristles for gentle cleaning, and is filled with a cleansing and polishing solution that removes dirt and oil, and fills in scratches, making jewelry as good as new! All you need to do is twist the bottom of the pen and start brushin'.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in packs of two or three).

    11. FryAway's cooking oil solidifier so you can dispose of leftover cooking grease in a way that would make Hermione proud. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash!

    Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two styles).

    12. A lifesaving ChomChom pet hair remover roller if you love your fur child but not the hair problem. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when done! I see no adhesive lint rollers in your future 🔮.

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors/styles).

    13. Mighty Patches, aka truly ~tiny but mighty~ wizards with the power to pull gunk out of zits. Put one on at bedtime and behold the grossness (but also amazingness) when you wake up.

    reviewer before photo of inflamed red pimple with patch on it / after photo of all the white gunk the patch sucked up
    reviewer with three puss-filled Mighty patches on finger

    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 purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning, the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" —Slade Salisbury

    14. A pumice cleaning stone so you can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup in a flash. If it's too much for a toilet brush, try this instead. It's nontoxic and has ZERO mercy on dirt, but it's still gentle enough to use on your porcelain throne.

    This pumice stone cleaner is free of chemicals and odors. It also has a heavy-duty plastic handle so you'll have a solid grip while you clean. Use gentle back-and-forth motions to remove stains and deposits from inside the toilet bowl, and voila!

    Promising review: "Will definitely buy again. Almost 30 years of hard-water buildup of green, and I tried everything for years to remove the green stain. This product rocks. It takes a little elbow grease but sure is worth it. Just don't use it on surfaces that will scratch. In my case, the fiberglass tub aggravates and is hard to clean. After 30 years, I scrubbed away and didn't regret it one bit, and the tub looks almost new." —Debra L.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in packs of two).

    15. A rechargeable hair trimmer to eliminate unwanted hair without the need for shaving cream, water, etc. It's also a great option if you struggle with other persistent issues you wish you could wave a magic wand at, like redness, nicks, or razor bumps!

    Promising review: "Do you hate rubbing shaving cream all over your legs in the shower while your 4-year-old stares at you? Suffer no more and dry shave with this in the comfort of your own closet, car, pantry (anywhere the children will not find you). Seriously this thing is fast and easy to use.... love it!" —Courtney Hudson

    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

    Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty oily hair and dust? When you really think about it, it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —Emmaline

    Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams

    Spray it on a cloth or directly on the glass shower door, then apply a bit of pressure and rub the surface in a circular motion. Rinse, wipe dry, and you're done!

    Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit — the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass. It turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP

    Get it from Amazon for $11.65.

    21. And a jetted tub cleaner because no one wants to bathe in a tub with filthy jets that can be traced back to... who knows how many previous owners *shudder*. The results are so gross that you may want to keep this magic trick to yourself.

    Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub in December. Despite several DIY cleaners, the jets still had a funky smell. Bought this product after seeing it on YouTube, and do not regret my purchase! The amount of 'yuck' that came out of the system was 'ewwww'! Bonus is my entire bedroom suite smelled clean after using!" —Meganb

    22. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer if you love a quick, lightweight under-eye application instead of packing on several layers.  It also helps minimize dark circles and puffiness so you'll be glad to *finally* add this lil' magic stick to your makeup bag.

    Promising review: "I love this makeup! I only wish I'd found it sooner. I use it as a concealer for dark circles. 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

    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

I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words.

Smells and tastes clean. Then I used the tabs on some water bottles, and it worked great on those too. In the past, I’ve tried to use all sorts of household stuff to clean water bottles.

    It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.

    Promising review: "I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit but finally,f I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I’m in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks or tights or undies each well can fit more than one on top of each other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you’ll be super glad you did!" –Chrissquasi

    29. And this pack of ultra-thin velvet hangers, which means you're about to save a jaw-dropping amount of space in your closet when organizing it. No, it's not a trick — these are the real deal.

    Promising review: "The perfect hanger for storing even the most slippery garments. The flocking makes it extra grippy while the narrow design means you can fit a lot into a small space. I personally bought mine with a set of clips designed to convert them into pants/skirt hangers and love the versatility. Just be aware they can be a little brittle if you're rough with them and might not be strong enough to hold extra-heavy garments." —Emris Simmons

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to order this but it went on sale so I did. It is the only thing that has actually worked. The first time I had to use two since the odor was strong but it did wonders.

    Promising review: "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

    32. mold and mildew remover that'll resolve one of *the* most annoying issues ever. This stuff will help you vanquish stubborn mold around showers, sinks, and tiled areas. Apply it, wait a few hours, and your work is done.

    Promising review: "I've tried scrubbing, bleaching, using a magic eraser, many bathroom cleaners, etc. Nothing worked in my shower to get rid of the black mold around the bottom of the shower. I was skeptical but gave this a try and within a hour, I couldn't believe the results! So easy to use, all you have to is twist the bottle top, use it like a glue, and it works! I left the product on just like the instructions said, for about six hours, and my shower looks brand new! I'm extremely impressed with the results!" —Cari

    33. A pet hair removal broom for lifting actual gobs of hair from the carpet no matter how deep it's buried. Even if you regularly vacuum, this tool is wizard-level good at targeting embedded hair. It just might be your new cleaning obsession!

    Promising review: "This is an absolute GAME CHANGER and a MUST-HAVE! We have a German shepherd dog who, as anyone who has had one WELL knows, they SHED TERRIBLY!! We have all hardwood floors and literally no matter how much, or how often, I swept and/or vacuumed, I could never seem to get up all the hair which just made mopping exponentially more difficult! This little, not to mention INEXPENSIVE, cleaning tool was an absolute GAME CHANGER for me!! It sweeps up ALL of the hair, as well as anything else, and with hardly any effort at all on my part!! I used to LOATHE having to sweep my floors because it took SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT to get them even just a LITTLE bit clean, the hair would swish all over the place! Let's be honest, no one really LIKES to sweep and/or clean (it's just something that has to be done), however, I definitely don't mind having to do this chore as much anymore! If you have this type of issue or anything similar you HAVE to get/try one of these!! I promise you will not regret it!!" —Amazon Customer

    34. Angry Orange pet odor eliminator, which is basically a lazy person's cleaning dream. Spray the spot, let it sit for up to 10 minutes, then blot. No relentless scrubbing!! It'll fill your home with a heavenly citrus aroma so divine, you may just forget about your pet's stinky mess.

    Promising review: “This is it: the solution to all pet odors EVER!!!!! I moved into a rental but could definitely tell there had been a cat here before us. Sorry, cat lovers! They are cute, but they can smell bad if not properly cleaned up after, and I’m seriously allergic!!! So, I knew I had some scrubbing and massive cleaning ahead of me so that I could live here. I bought this and OMG! It was like magic!!! The smell was gone from every room except the downstairs bathroom, which I figured was the scene of the crime: the litter box location!!!!! I sprayed that room as though I was cleaning up evidence from a horrific crime and got the doorjamb really well. It is unreal, but the smell is GONE.” —LauraLiz

    35. 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. It absorbs super quickly so it won't feel heavy or greasy, either. Sorcery or not, that's Bio-Oil for ya!

    Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this? I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for weeks.... this stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" —Julia Richardson

    36. An all-natural scour paste for cleaning basically any dirty surface in your home that's been causing you grief. You know those random areas you didn't even realize needed cleaning? Yeah, this paste is about to give you magical powers.

    Humble Suds is a small business based in Evergreen, Colorado, and run by moms Holli and Jennifer.

    My colleague Danielle Healy swears by this stuff. In her own words: "I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I've been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success), we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

    Promising review: "Buyer beware: don’t buy just one!! Learn from my mistake, and buy at least two jars because this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I used it on my textured shower floor. It was EASIER to clean and required less scrubbing than any other product I’ve used, including CLR. If you have black matte bathroom fixtures, this is the stuff you need. My shower and sink drains look brand new. My other favorite part about this scour paste, is the fact that I don’t need to use any paper towels. Just a wet rag to wipe it all down at the end. I will be buying more jars for myself and to give to my friends because this stuff is absolutely amazing. You won’t regret it!" —littleashleyshortcak

    37. A reviewer-beloved TruSkin vitamin C serum with vitamins C, E, and hyaluronic acid that'll hydrate and brighten your skin at the same time. It can also help smooth and fade blemishes and dark spots like an absolute charm✨.

    It's great for many skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination!

    It's recommended that you do a patch test 24–48 hours before applying this all over your face, as it's a strong, concentrated formula. After that, apply three to five drops once daily and follow with a moisturizer (ideally one with SPF if you apply in the morning!). Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it'll last you several months with daily use.

    Promising reviews: "Best $20 ever spent!!! The results are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews were from Caucasian women, and I was slightly worried that my skin would not respond as well, but I was quite mistaken. With or without makeup, my skin is bright and smooth, and my spots are disappearing. One other result I am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too; I guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple." —Mayowa O

    38. A set of mini combs when your pet needs help with their less-than-magical grooming routine. This will help gently detangle those crusty eye boogers that cling to their fur for dear life!

    Promising review: "I have a Goldendoodle who had very weepy eyes as a pup due to a blocked tear duct. These combs have been lifesavers! When I first got Jane, I struggled to keep her eyes clean of exudate. I tried tear removers, I tried soaking the area with a wet cloth, I tried wet cotton balls — you name it, I tried it and nothing would work to remove the stains or exudate. These little suckers though.....these things work!! At first, they were difficult to use because as a puppy, Jane wasn't used to having me 'pick' around her eyes with combs. Once she became comfortable though (and it took a couple of weeks of daily practice) and once I became comfortable and confident I wasn't going to poke her eyes out, cleaning her eyes became easy! She no longer has copious amounts of sticky exudate stuck on her face, there are no smelly eyes, and I am happy to report that her tear stains are all gone since I'm able to keep her eyes so clean now. I use these a couple of times a week on her and now she just sits while I clean around her eyes. She is comfortable and these have never caused her any pain or discomfort. Great tool and must have for anyone with fur babies!" —Kimberly V.

    39. An Oxo over-the-drain hair catcher to catch all the evil hair that would otherwise clog your pipes. Place it over your drain and it'll collect all the hair into a neat pile that's easy to clean up. 

    Promising review: "I've been very impressed! It's tall enough to fit easily over my pop-up drain and (even without suction cups) the weighted top keeps it in place. I have medium-length hair and seem to shed almost as much as my cat, but the drain protector catches it all and the hair is easily removed and tossed away. Best of all, the silicone doesn't hold onto mildew or mold. I have been able to spray and wipe away any grime with very little effort. It looks like this drain protector will last a very long time. This has been a very worthy purchase!" —Suneimi
