    36 Things Reviewers Consider “Must-Haves,” And You Should Probably Cart Them ASAP

    Including some holy grails in skincare, travel, and home that you'll need for warm weather shenanigans.

    1. Affresh washing machine tablets, since current you thinks laundry day stinks....Well, turns out it doesn't have to as these fast-acting tablets eradicate funky smells and nasty buildup from the edges of the drum in just a couple of cycles. No elbow grease required 👍.

    Promising review: "Must-have. Never knew these existed until this year. First time used a couple back to back and it made a noticeable difference in washtub finish and scent of basket." —Shawn Skinner

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in packs of three, five, and six).

    2. An octopus-shaped blackhead-removing stick that's so cute it hurts — it's just a bonus that it's ridiculously good at removing excess sebum and exfoliating pores to yank out blackheads and whiteheads, too!

    Promising review: "Must-have. I use this a couple times a week. I have terrible black heads and this manages to scrub 90% of them away and the rest are barely noticeable. Will keep buying." —Princess Jasmin

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    3. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter, aka the ingenious contraption that will upgrade your travel experience tenfold, since it allows you to connect your Bluetooth earphones to, well, anything — and is especially perfect for an airplane's TV jack. So now you won't have to worry about carrying around those archaic (and quite frankly, annoying) wired headphones on your next journey.

    Promising review: "If you have a wireless earpiece and fly frequently, this is a must-have. Most newer planes have a monitor on the seat backs which enable you watch movies, etc. This unit enables you to do it using your wireless earpiece. Connection is simple and automatic once you have initially paired your device or devices. It's convenient. I'm happy with the purchase." —JCE

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99.

    4. A set of Sea Bands that'll make you laugh in the face of the motion sickness that used to hold you back from living your best life. This nifty accessory targets an acupressure point on your wrist to help reduce nausea caused by, well, practically anything. So you can go from woozy to "Watch out adventure, I'm coming for you!"

    A plastic knob sewn into the inside of this knitted elastic wristband exerts pressure and stimulates the P6, aka Neiguan, acupressure point to relieve nausea and vomiting.

    Promising review: "I wished I gave these a try a long time ago. I used them to drive 13 hours. Once at Disney World, I worn them for every ride. First time, I did not get nausea or sick. I was amazed. A must-have if you get car sickness or can’t ride rides at an amusement park." —E. Kendra

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.59.

    5. A derma roller for an at-home microdermabrasion treatment that smooths out bumpy and uneven skin textures. Save your dollars on fancy (aka pricey) microneedling and opt for this — even reviewers with sunken, atrophic scarring are noting how well this gizmo worked for them.

    Plus! You'll get a storage case included.

    Promising review: "This is a MUST-HAVE. I had just recently moved from NYC to LA and the change in temperature has been really affecting my skin; it’s been red, puffy and frequent breakouts occur. Day one of using this product: I started off my cleansing my face at night, then used the Sdara Derma Roller (which left my skin with a tingly, though not at all painful, sensation), and finally applied my moisturizers and serums that I could literally feel were being soaked into my pores. The next day, my skin had totally changed! After ONE use! I plan to use it once a week and highly recommend this gem to everyone." —melbd

    Get it from Amazon for $12.27.

    6. Wet & Forget shower cleaner, which *gasp* doesn't require you to do any scrubbing. No, seriously. Simply give the areas in your bathroom that could use some TLC a quick spray down with this...and then rinse off the next day. Plus, it only has to be used once a week!

    reviewer before with cloudy, hard water stained shower door
    same reviewer with a totally clear shower door after using the treatment

    Promising review: "A must-have for your home. If you are busy and hate scrubbing showers you must buy this for your home. After the last shower I spray down the walls fixtures and floor, close the curtains and after the next morning’s shower everything sparkles. I use once a week." —Shadow66

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

    7. A pair of foot peel masks for an at-home science experiment you didn't realize would be so gross yet so satisfying. No, seriously, this stuff works like witchcraft to peel away dead skin and leave you with the softest baby bum feet just in time for sandal season.

    day 6 and day 8 of reviewer's peeling skin on feet

    Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel as your feet start shedding layers of dead skin.

    Promising review: "Okay, so first things first: I have VERY calloused feet from years of barefoot gravel adventures. The directions advised me to use a second application one week after the first, which I did. My feet just keep PEELING. I'm talking massive chunks of skin coming off. My feet literally haven't felt this soft in over a decade and I'm only 21!! It's a must-have for those wanting to take care of their feet!" —Callie Pinaire

    Get two pairs from Amazon for $19.95.

    8. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash so you can say "see ya!" to scabs left over from picking ingrowns and "au revoir!" to keratosis pilaris flare-ups. This exfoliates without the rough, physical microbeads and buffs away bumpy skin while smoothing — thanks to hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

    Promising review: "Must-have for bumpy acne backs. I have not even had this product for two weeks. As someone who is constantly feeling my back and realizing there are bumps from my teenage years, I’ve used it several times and magic. I’ve been feeling smooth skin, and seeing smooth skin in the mirror. Highly recommended!" —Mike

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    9. The Pink Stuff all-purpose paste and spray (as seen on TikTok) that'll magically clean practically anything and everything in your home — and even in your closet! This potion in a paste reverses wall markings, cooked-on grease, soap scum, shoe scuffs, and whatever else that could use a little abracadabra alakazam.

    Promising review: "WOW WOW!!! This is a must-have, best stuff I've ever bought. I literally just have to spray it, let it sit for a few minutes, come back, and depending on what I’m using it for I either wipe it and it comes right off or I just use a scrubbing pad and it comes off. There’s nothing out there that is anywhere in comparison to this product!!!! This stuff is the absolute best. I highly recommend purchasing this. I can tell you that half of my cleaning products are now going to be thrown out because all I need is The Pink Stuff. Whoever invented this stuff is an absolute genius; if you’re a clean freak like me this really is the way to go. Also it doesn’t have that nasty chemical smell, it smells great. Just buy it; you won’t regret it." —Twin33

    Get the original cleaning paste and multi-purpose spray from Amazon for $19.99.

    10. A reusable pet hair remover so you can finally sit on your couch in your all-black outfit *without* looking like you're trying to coordinate with the messiest individual in your household: your cute little fur baby. So long to the days of incessantly attacking yourself from head to toe with the lint roller.

    Promising review: "I bought this because I was at my wits end with cat hair. I have two cats that shed like crazy. I first tried this out on my comforter and was disgusted and shocked by how much cat hair was accumulated on my bed. I got to work and started rolling every piece of furniture and cloth surface in my apartment and it was so satisfying to see all the cat hair be removed. Some of it was invisible too 🤢. And it also works on clothes! I added a picture after trying it on my coat I hadn’t seen it that lint free in ages. This is the best $25 I’ve ever spent in a while lol. I was a little taken back by the price but honestly it’s so worth it considering I don’t have to buy disposable lint rollers anymore which are annoying and time-consuming to use, and they don’t pick up as much lint as they should. This is definitely a must-have if you have pets!!" —Jen H.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

    11. lawn repair formula to restore patches that have been subjected to your resident digger, your pup. This'll magically regrow your green green grass so you'll have a lush backyard that's ready for warmer weather.

    And this formula features a protectant to prevent future damage *and* a salt neutralizer that repairs areas that have been scorched by pet urine.

    Promising review: "Back when I had basset hounds, this was a must-have to keep up with lawn repairs. So when a plumber devastated my front yard making a water pipe repair this was a logical first choice for the huge mess they made. I knew it worked on smaller spots so why not on the 4 ft by 6 ft dirt patch." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five sizes).

    12. A teeth-whitening pen because we foresee a pearly-white smile in your future — one that's a *lot* easier to attain than you'd think. Goodbye, slippery whitening strips that slide all over your mouth. Hello, easy-to-use pen that lightens teeth by four to eight shades!

    Promising review: "This is the first product I have tried out of many that does not leave any sensitivity. I have recommended this product to so many people and I absolutely love it. It works like a charm within the first few times even and if you use one to two times every day, it will do wonders. 10/10 pen a must-buy!" —Juliet Pepe

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99.

    13. A set of cooling bamboo sheets so you can seamlessly switch out the ones that have been pilling since 2017. And for those who wake up swimming in sweat, these bedcovers will wick away moisture and ensure your snooze environment is as comfortable as can be.

    The grey set of sheets
    Amazon

    Includes one full sheet, one flat sheet, and one to two pillowcases.

    Promising review: "Between my being a very hot sleeper (night sweats) and living in the Southern heat, I've found these sheets to be a godsend. So light and soft, very generous corners for putting on. Wicking, breezy and so comfortable I woke up completely dry and no sweat on the sheets! Even after washing it never shrunk up or faded. Simply a must-have for people who need a cool night's sleep." —Miss Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 11 colors).

    14. A bottle of Bio Oil to gently treat skin discolorations — along with a myriad of other skin concerns. It's so effective, more than 100,000 people love it. It's also noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and — *jumps for joy* — can be used on the face to eradicate acne scars, too.

    Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!

    Promising review: "It's a must-have in skin care routine! I put this on at least 1-2 times daily since I received this 2 weeks ago. I use it on my belly where I have stretch marks from my pregnancy and I also use it on my face and it helps moisturize my dry skin. I can tell my face is clearing up from my months-long acne breakout AND I use the oil on my underarms after I get out of the shower to try and lighten them up. Since my pregnancy, my underarms had gotten kind of dark and I'm embarrassed to even raise them if I have a tank top on... It looks to be helping my discoloration on both my face (from my acne) and underarms and I feel like my stretch marks look different as well. Very impressed with this product. I will continue to use and hope to see even better results!" —Valerie

    15. Oven liners that'll get ahead of unavoidable spills come dinnertime (since you now know the method of cleaning smarter instead of harder). These'll prevent stove top and oven messes, so you can give your arms a much-deserved rest after all that weekly meal-prepping.

    Promising review: "Absolute must-have! I struggle with severe ADHD and sometimes I couldn’t remember if I’d taken my medication or not. These have been a lifesaver! I’ve been taking my pills every day reliably now because I have a visual indication that I haven’t taken them yet. I didn’t want to have to keep buying them, so I just dump my refill into the old bottle so I can use one again and again. :)" —Helensue

    Promising review: "A must-have for pet owners. This product is amazing. One of my cats recently went though a health scare. Sadly, she lost control of her bladder and urinated on the carpet. I bought this product and it worked great. I used it on the spot where the urine was and the odor was completely gone. Even more impressive is that there was a small stain on my carpet from cat vomit. It was very light, but had been there for a long time. I tried this spray on it and, to my amazement, it completely removed it." —M.T.

    BuzzFeed Shopping's resident parent product expert Chandni Reddy has this and raves: "Is it possible for a drying rack to be life changing? Why yes, it is. I caved and bought this grassy patch after my kitchen started to look like an episode of Hoarders. This thing instantly organized my kitchen by creating a dedicated spot for baby stuff. Bottles, pump parts, sippy cups...this bad boy can hold a LOT (at least six bottles and four cups at once) and dries everything quickly. Did I mention it's a heck of a lot more cheerful and stylish than your regular drying rack?"

    Promising review: "A must-have. I use it every day. I love how cute and compact it is. All of my friends have these weird contraptions on their counters, I have this little lawn that can be put in the dishwasher to clean and looks cute. Make sure to get the big one, not the small one. Mine fits 8 Dr. Brown's bottles perfectly!" —A. Lewis

Best office supply purchase I’ve made thus far! This is by far the best purchase I have made for my office — at my job I constantly have to reference really long numbers and this has made my life so much easier and efficient; everyone comments on how they want one.

This little creation will catch clumps of hair like a magnet *before* they make their way to clog up your drains.

    Promising reviews: "My new hair must-have. I have been coloring my hair and highlighting since I was a teenager (now mid thirties) so my hair has been processed a lot. I have really noticed my hair is losing luminosity and looks dull, dry, etc. I tried this product once a few days after I put in some highlights and wow it INSTANTLY made my hair soft silky and so smooth. I have tried a lot of serums, sprays, leave in conditioners, homemade hair masks etc, professional (expensive) products but none have worked as well as this. It has been over a week since I first put this in my hair and it is still silly smooth and feels healthy. This is my new go-to secret hair product that I will have stocked." —Sara Cooper

    "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire

    30. A Revlon one-step hairdryer and volumizer brush that's held the title as number one most-wished-for beauty product on Amazon many times — and for good reason. This, the blow-drying brush of your dreams, handles two jobs in one go and cuts your routine in half so you can achieve silky smooth, frizz-free locks in ~30 minutes.

    Folks, one of my favorite quarantine purchases has to be this godsend from Revlon. I've never been much of a blow-dryer — I never had the patience, energy, or the technique for that matter. But then in swoops this two-in-one tool to give my hair the glam of Jackie O in just about 20 minutes. I have relatively thick, wavy, shoulder-length locks and I've never enjoyed witnessing a transformation quite like the one I'm able to achieve with this styler. Giving myself a quick, ~salon-worthy~ blow out for morning meetings has been my new way to feel a little less disheveled for the day.

    Promising reviews: "It's a must-have!!! I'm IN LOVE! I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner. I have fine, shoulder length hair that is wavy when it air dries. It's not a pretty wave, more like a frizz mess, so I always dried and used a straightener. It was time consuming, hair was all over the bathroom and some days I wasn't happy with the results. It was a vicious cycle. Now my hair is done in half the time, it's smooth and I barely lose any hair in the process. I let my hair air dry a little before I use the One-Step Dryer on low and the results are amazing. I could never master the hair dryer and brush technique so this is a game changer." —A. Kyle

    "I have 4c African American kinky-coily hair. This dryer cuts my drying and straightening time to just 20–25 minutes! I part my hair in four sections, apply my heat protectant, and use this dryer and in no time my hair is straightened! This hairdryer is comfortable and practical to use. Highly recommend for Black/AA or textured hair!" — Lisa

    31. Keurig cleaning cups if you're someone like me who didn't realize a coffeemaker needed to be descaled — turns out, it DOES. Just pop in one of the pods as you would a coffee pod, and proceed to be amazed (read: horrified) at the amount of residue that trickles into your cup of joe.

    32. LABeautyologist no-drip cleansing cuffs that you'll look at and think how on earth did I ever live without you?! Their ability to protect clothes and arms from getting all sudsy and soaked during your 10-step routine is enough to leave you short of breath.

    LABeautyologist

    There are a number of things that bug me in this world, but one thing that consistently grinds my gears is the feeling of soaking wet, sopping sleeves after I've cleansed my face. No matter how high I roll them up, water just finds a way to trickle down towards my sleeves. I've even resorted to just wearing T-shirts to avoid the problem, but then my arms are still soaked and I still end up leaving a puddle of water behind in the bathroom. Enter: these cozy-soft cuffs. They're truly adorable, absorb allll the water, dry quickly, *and* they're machine washable! To me, they're a must-have and worth every single penny to avoid a small but totally annoying problem.

    33. An air fryer from the food pros that brought you the Instant Pot. Because if you're looking for a kitchen helper that'll save you money in the long run, this futuristic-looking device might just be it — whip up anything from fried chicken to crispy potatoes in record time (and with less greasy mess).

    Promising review: "For me at least, this has turned into being a 'must-have' kitchen small appliance. I kicked around buying an air fryer for awhile and within two days of receiving it was playing mad scientist with a lot of different recipes. Between recipe books, refrigerator magnet placards, Google searches, and YouTube, I was amazed at how many snacks, meals, and sides you can do in an air fryer. To this point, I can't see myself ever going without one in my kitchen. Using much less oil is obviously the main advantage, but the damn thing is also just fun to use." —Geezer

    34. Korean skincare exfoliating mittens to slough away tired, dead skin and reveal visibly (and touchably) softer arms...legs...bums...literally wherever you want to use it — just in time for naked bod season!

    Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks --- shudder, that was on me??? Everything other customers are saying about how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though - I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about 6 weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this!" —Kindle Customer. g'ma

    Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in packs of one or two).

    35. An ice beauty roller that'll feel like a breath of fresh air for tired, works-a-9-to-5 skin. Just fill it up with water (you can add other ingredients, too, like green tea, lemon, or cucumber), pop it in the freezer overnight, and use it to help with inflammation or puffiness or for an overall brighter complexion.

    36. A bottle of Drop It to eliminate wine sulfates and tannins that usually lead to a regrettable wine headache (we love getting older). This works rather swiftly so you can indulge in all your reds without fear of developing those pesky allergy-like symptoms.

    It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed. Drop It recommends one to two drops for each glass of white wine, two to three for a glass of red, and seven to nine if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be raring to go!

    Promising review: "I really was skeptical when I bought it. I always have headaches when I drink red wine 🍷 from the moment I started using these drops I noticed that I had no headaches at all when I woke up! It’s a must-have. You won’t be sorry." —VRed

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
