    51 Problem-Solving Products That Work So Well, Reviewers Called Them “Wizardry,” “Sorcery,” Or Just Plain “Magic”

    "Not sure how this sorcery works, but I’m obsessed!" — the reviewer of a powder dry shampoo that'll make you give up the spray stuff for good

    1. saline nasal mist that can help moisturize dry nasal passages and irrigate to wash away mucus and allergens, and help relieve symptoms from colds and allergies. Because right after cold season comes...pollen season.

    Two packages of Ayr Saline Nasal Mist, for moistening dry nasal passages
    Amazon

    Read about how saline nose sprays can help with allergic rhinitis at the Mayo Clinic. And chat with your doctor or allergist to see if it's right for you! 

    Promising review: "This gentle nasal spray really works! While living in the Midwest, I experienced seasonal allergies. In Southern California, my allergies are year-round. I began using AYR Saline Nasal Mist, and I love it! As if by magic, my nasal passages clear up almost instantly. A little sidebar here...my little terrier-mix dog has allergic nasal dryness, and I am now using it on her. It is equally effective for my Canine Companion (I first consulted my veterinarian, of course). I now have labeled each of my two AYRs, one for Carly and one for me . . . (*_^)!" —PJ

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.45.

    2. The Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle, because any hydration enthusiast will be blown away by this guy. It has a genius design with a metal straw inside but silicone straw on top for drinking comfort — and it LOCKS *with the straw in place* for zero leaks, even if you hold it completely upside down. Um...Stanley who?!

    A reviewer's seven bottles with text

    I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAYS in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher.

    Promising review: "As a nurse, I know we are picky and loyal to brands of pens and water bottles. I’ve had a Stanley, Owala, and a giant Hydrojug. This tops them all! I had ice from over 24 hours left! It fits in my car cup holder, the handle is sturdy, the straw breaks down easily for cleaning, and it’s TRULY leakproof! Yeah, the straw is exposed, but I just wipe it down with little alcohol wipes from work before I drink from it. For those who say the lid is hard to get off, you have to turn the lid to drink mode to unseal the lid, and then you can turn it. LOVE THIS!" —Dani

    Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in six colors, plus a 30-ounce size).

    3. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, a K-beauty cleanser you can use as step one of your double cleanse. Just apply to dry skin and gently massage, then emulsify with water to dissolve makeup and sunscreen and remove sebum and the day's grime, leaving your skin refreshed but not stripped. Reviewers *swear* by it for helping reduce blackheads and sebaceous filaments, too!

    As with all skincare products, if you're acne-prone YMMV, depending on the cause of your acne. 

    Promising review: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don’t know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you’ve been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." —A

    Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" —Sarah Coleman

    Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

    4. An oscillating tower fan one reviewer nicknamed "THE GLACIER" *and* said is "better than your air conditioner." (I'm immediately sold.) It has six speeds — up to 24 feet per second velocity — and three modes, and reviewers agree that it's super quiet. Installing a window air conditioner can be scary...all you have to do is plug this in!

    It's sleek and narrow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room, and it looks surprisingly cool! It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed, and the LED lights turn off in sleep mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed.

    Promising review: "Cools like magic. Great fan. It’s super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn’t think the remote was a big deal but now I wouldn’t want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." —Javygirl

    Promising review: "I am elderly and live in Texas, where we have 100+-degree heat on a daily basis in the summer. This is, hands down, the best and most powerful fan I have experienced. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my sister, who is heat-sensitive. She got rid of the two tower fans she was using as this fan cooled her room." —TJ

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99.

    5. A Muller veggie chopper to turn your onion-cutting tears into tears of joy when you realize the whole dang thing is diced with one press of the lever. Shaving five (ok...10) minutes off your meal prep time? You love to see it.

    It comes with the chopper itself, a whopping EIGHT blades (three different size choppers, plus blades for julienning, slicing, grating, and regular and fine shredding), and a cleaning brush.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me do it, and I couldn’t be happier. This chopper is pure magic in the kitchen! Chopping veggies has never been so fun and effortless! It’s like a culinary extravaganza! Thanks to this little kitchen wizardry, I’m a chopping pro now. TikTok-approved and chef-worthy. Amazing customer support as well. They are fast, super friendly and efficient." —Anonymous

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95.

    6. Missha's Soft Finish Sun Milk, which works as a sunscreen and a primer at the same time. It has SPF50+, skin barrier–protecting ingredients, and a weightlessly smooth finish that sits beautifully under makeup, so you won't feel like you have a heavy, greasy layer on your face.

    In the progression photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the sun milk, after applying the sun milk, and then the sun milk under makeup. It is a mineral sunscreen (and untinted), so when it comes to a white cast, YMMV — some reviewers noticed one, but many didn't!

    Promising review: "I’m on my second bottle of this sunscreen, and I’m so happy I found it! I can’t imagine going back to anything else. I have normal/oily skin and always found myself super shiny in an hour, no matter what sunscreen I tried. It was a minor inconvenience — I always had blotting paper on hand. But with the Missha, I don’t have to worry about shine... like, at all. Seriously, folks. It’s amazing. This stuff is magic. It’s like I’ve got the best, most soft-focus primer on, but it somehow protects me from the sun, too. The matte effect is, indeed, a soft finish; it’s enough to keep me from looking shiny but not so matte I look like I’m covered in powder. As far as consistency, it’s very milky and absorbs into the skin incredibly quickly. As other reviewers have noted, it’s so thin and runny that I have to pat on two layers, but even then, it soaks in 100 times faster than any facial sunscreen I’ve ever tried. There is a slight white cast (I’m olive-skinned), but I find it fades within 5-10 minutes. But well before that, the sunscreen has absorbed to a soft, matte finish that’s perfect for some lip and cheek stain. All in all, just about perfect. I don’t even wear BB cream anymore — just this and a bit of color on the cheeks and lips, and I’m done. It’s a great base for makeup and I’m happy to find my cheek color lasts all day (even after a busy shift in food service)." —Tyrannosaurus Rose

    Get it from Amazon for $20.25.

    7. A standing weeder, a genius tool to help you use the magical force of leverage to pry up weeds without having to bend or kneel — saving you time *and* saving your back and knees from the stress and strain of regular ol' weed-pulling. 

    person using a long stand-up weeder tool with claws that pull weeds out of the ground from the root
    Amazon

    Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. 

    Promising review: "If you’re like me, you’re wondering if spending $40 on a gardening tool is worth it. My friends, IT IS. I’ve been eyeing this tool for some time now and finally pulled the trigger, and I’m beating myself up for not doing it sooner. I have pulled 10 gallons of dandelions out of my yard in about two hours. This is pure magic. It’s actually fun to pull weeds. In the past, I would try to rid myself of dandelions with broadleaf spray, but it never worked, and I wasted my money. This works every time and cuts chemical use! Win-win! Just buy it already and thank yourself later!" —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

    Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913! 

    8. cooling blanket designed with fibers that can help absorb body heat so you can relax at home (especially when the AC doesn't seem to quite be enough!) in a bit more comfort. One side is 100% cotton, and the other side is a specially designed ~Arc-Chill~ fabric — when you sit on it, you'll be surprised how cool it feels to the touch!

    I have a similar cooling blanket because the fabric of my couch is gorgeous, but...gets VERY hot in the summer — they can make all the difference!

    Promising review: "Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" —Amanda Julia Hess

    Promising review: "I run really hot and I have tried so many various blankets. Well, I am here to tell you, this is the one you need. I live in the southwest where temps exceed 110 degrees regularly in the summer. I used to wake up sweaty every single morning, even with the AC on. Well, come to this blanket, and WOW, No more waking up sweating; you can ACTUALLY feel the cooling. Almost feels as if the blanket has a built-in AC. This is the blanket to get; stop searching and just order it. I promise you'll like it." —Brantley Rockwell

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).

    9. And a set of two cooling pillowcases made with similar cooling fibers so you don't have to keep flipping your pillow to the cool side dozens of times on those most scorching nights — these are always the cool side. 

    Promising review: "Cools like total freaky MAGIC!!!! Bought another set a week later because we love them so much!!!" —Midlyfcrysis

    Promising review: "Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers. They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics). They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." —Tonia

    Get them from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in standard, queen, and king sizes and in 20 colors).  

    10. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that does *both at the same time* (gasp), always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank), and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. And unlike regular mops, this guy retains 90% of dirty water, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. Monica Gellar would be so excited by this.

    A reviewer showing the dirty water reservoir with text
    The vacuum/mop

    It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!

    Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." —Tsippi

    Get it from Amazon for $279.99.

    11. A sleep-training clock with a sound machine and optional alarm clock built in. It uses colors and facial expressions to let your kids know when it's still sleep time (aka please don't wake me up) and when it's ok to wake up and say good morning — you can even choose the colors for each.

    Promising review: "Magically helped my 3-year-old go to sleep. I don't know how it works, but since we started using this thing, my 3-year-old no longer throws a fit at bedtime. We say "ok, the clock is telling us to sleep now," and she just...goes to bed. It's a total game changer to the crying, screaming meltdowns we had before. She enjoys the noise machine function as well, and though we still have a few wake-ups here and there throughout the night, there's way less fuss with them. Then, she knows in the morning not to start asking for us to let her out until the clock says "wake up time" by smiling with eyes open. I have no idea why this thing works, but it does. Totally worth the reduced aggravation every night!!!!" —Mimi

    12. A spacious travel-friendly backpack that'll fit under the seat in front of you and help you make the most of the "personal item" you're allowed along with your carry-on roller bag. This one is TikTok- and reviewer-famous for holding TONS of stuff, zipping completely open (like a suitcase!) for easy packing, and helping keep travelers organized.

    This one checks all the boxes: super roomy, has plenty of pockets (including one for shoes and a separate wet bag!), and has a strap that slides down over your luggage handle for easy transport. And reviewers say it meets even Spirit and JetBlue's personal item rules and fits under airplane seats!

    Check it out on TikTok.

    Promising review: "One bag handled a week of travel! This bag is like magic! I fit four pairs of shorts, four shirts, underwear, socks, and a couple of workout outfits with sports bras, two pairs of sandals, four bathing suits, a coverup, a sun hat, toiletries, cosmetics, a laptop, a notebook, three device chargers (computer, phone, and Fitbit) and an electric toothbrush. Even when packed to the max, the weight is comfortably distributed so it doesn’t break your back. It fits under the seat perfectly, too. I bought it when it was 50% off, but I’d pay full price knowing how awesome this bag is for travel." —AlexanderK

    13. Drywall repair putty to help you easily seal up cracks, nail holes, or any other damage to your walls. Just swipe it on, dust off excess product to smooth it out, and then paint over. Yep, this is pretty much a renter's must-have.

    14. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner that sprays on water and stain-fighting cleaner, then sucks it away to blast away years' of mess — on carpet *and* furniture. Reviewers love it for banishing pet stains, spills, and more — without having to waste a lot of their valuable storage space.

    Promising review: "Faced with either replacing our dining room chairs or living with the daily reminder of how disgusting children (x3) can be, we decided to replace our chairs. Until we priced some new ones. Enter the Green Machine. This chair has never been cleaned (I know, we’re gross). I sprayed the included magical solution, let sit 15 minutes for good measure, & voila. Sorcery. I read zero instructions, just plugged in, and went to town. I would recommend cleaning outside if your item is portable; it minimized the spray on the floor. The dark grey liquid on the collecting side was evidence enough of the dirt and stain-removing powers. Don’t second guess; this was <$100 when I purchased it, and while something with steam and heaters and all the gadgets, I am sure is wonderful, bang for your buck on this one is a no-brainer. Definitely bought us another year or so before we pull the trigger on something new for the kids to ruin." —aih

    15. And a bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, which *knocks out* stubborn, strong smells like cat or dog pee that tend to linger over time. It's formulated with orange oil, so it has a lovely citrus scent that smells great in the short term while (as the name implies) eliminating bad odors once and for all.

    Just shake the bottle, spray it on, and let it dry completely. BOOM, you're done. 

    Promising review: "Sorcery in a bottle. This stuff works, period. My cat has started to spray. After I clean up the initial mess, I let it dry and then sprayed it with this stuff. Seriously, it's like my cat never even sprayed. I also like the fact that once the orange scent goes away, it takes the urine smell with it. Not thick or sticky, and you can reapply it without feeling like you've overdone it. This stuff is amazing." —Shannon Shelton

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).

    Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.

    16. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes so you don't "have" to let dishes "soak" in the sink overnight (and smell gnarly by morning). Every dish will be done in record time. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill this spring, this is *perfect* for that, too, cutting through the toughest messes!

    Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!

    Promising review: "This spray is legit sorcery. You won't change my mind." —Mutt

    Promising review: "This spray is like actual magic; spritz and grease disappears!! I was planning to replace my cooktop ($400+) because I — despite repeated efforts of scrubbing and bleaching — could not get rid of the built-up grease. As a last-ditch effort (based on reviews I read on Amazon), I tried the Dawn Powerwash spray. The baked-on grease melted. I was sincerely amazed; it didn't even take that long! I've now started giving a light spritz to my every greasy pot, pan, and plasticware lunchbox with salad dressing, and am constantly wowed at how this product cuts the oil. I'm a clean freak and a massive fan. Try this product...I will be shocked if you don't love it." —Pamela Bennett

    17. Retainer Brite tablets to make deep cleaning your retainer or Invisalign easier than you think! Just drop one into a glass of warm water, along with your retainer, Invisalign, dentures, mouth guards, TMJ devices, etc., to remove odor, buildup, and other gunk. They can even kill bacteria and remove cloudiness and staining!

    The same mouthguard with no staining

    When I got a night guard (I'm a clencher!), my dentist recommended these very tablets for daily cleaning, and they work great!

    Promising review: "I have Invisalign retainers and had been using other products. My retainers were stained yellow-brown. Even my dentist used their ultrasonic cleaner and couldn't improve them. My hygienist suggested this product, just for my daily use, and voila! my retainers are COMPLETELY CLEAR! They look brand new! I didn't expect this at all! And there is no grainy residue after I've soaked them. It's really magic. So glad I found it!!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $20.69.

    18. CeraVe Retinol Serum that lives up to the CeraVe name and uses *encapsulated* retinol to reduce the appearance of scars and pores without flaking or redness. If you haven't gotten into retinoids yet or are worried about irritating your skin, this gentle but effective serum is a great option — and reviewers say they like it better than other more expensive options (like Murad's Retinol Serum, which retails for $92).

    And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. 

    Promising review: "This product is magic in a bottle!!! I have been struggling to find a good skincare routine that will remove my acne scars and remove dark spots on my face. I will forever buy this product! I’ve only been using this for two weeks and noticed a huge difference right away! I am so excited to clean my face in the morning and night now! I also bought the Cerave hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream and they have been amazing as well! CeraVe is the best! Don’t think twice about this product, just buy it!!!" —mallory brook bravo

    Get it from Amazon for $8.44.

    19. Speaking of CeraVe, their eye repair cream, which is formulated with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin — as well as the blend of ceramides CeraVe is best known for. Tl;dr: reviewers say a few pats of this eye cream can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines.

    Promising review: "What sorcery is this??? Listen I’m 48, and I’ve bought a lot of face cream “stuff” over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." —Michelle Petrosh

    21. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that basically...works miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture.

    How effective? Well, it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form!

    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

Update: I dried two sheets at the same time, and it works like a charm. Cuts drying time by a third! I recommend." —Keith P.

    23. A rapid mac 'n' cheese cooker for those days that you or your kids want to have some comfort foods but you really don't feel like turning on your stove or dealing with a strainer. This handy kitchen gadget has your back — you just need five minutes and a microwave (vs 20 minutes the old-fashioned way).

    Here's how it works: Pour in the macaroni and add enough water to the fill line. Then microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and microwave for two more minutes, then add the other ingredients per the mac 'n' cheese instructions. Check out a TikTok of the rapid mac cooker in action. And btw, people also use this to rapidly cook their ramen! 

    Promising review: "No clue what makes the magic happen in this thing, but it is amazing. Macaroni in under five minutes, ramen in like 3.5. Easy, one dish to clean, fast. I wish I had this in my son’s toddler years in his mac phase." —C. Long

    Promising review: "I almost want to gatekeep. By far THE best dry shampoo I’ve ever used — not sure how this sorcery works, but I’m obsessed!" —Robertson

    Promising review: "I’ve tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I’d have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn’t know how much to put and ended up coating my hair by A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head, and that’s it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day, and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let’s not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It’s so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." —Thuy

    Reviewers say it sinks into skin easily and never ever leaves a greasy residue.

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    26. A pack of duster sponges, because the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are totally similar, for less! Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean, and you're done!

    I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!

    Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color packs).

    27. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, a cult-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E.

    Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I’ve tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I’ve tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." —Stephanie Hooper

    Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet, and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle Brown

    28. Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you’ll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema!

    I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!

    Promising review: "Game changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! The first time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, 2x a day, my skin is so much brighter. Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since. It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." —Np

    29. manual "flossing" toothbrush with extra soft bristles in two layers that are super thin at the tip (as thin as human hair) and designed to reach places other toothbrushes might not. Especially when paired with actual flossing, reviewers say they're left with a "fresh from the dentist" clean!

    A toothbrush with two layers of bristles, one long and thin and one shorter and thicker
    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."

    Promising review: "I hate flossing because I have sensitive gums (genetic periodontal issues). This toothbrush is magic. Brush slower, and with intention, and your mouth will feel as clean as it does when you leave the dentist." —C & A D

    Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard; those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

    Models showing the five shades to match their skin tones

    Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer etc — nothing budges them) but then they also peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin on. I’ve got quite “triangular” boobs and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold do any level of nipple start to show through and even then it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through multiple wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase as soon as they wear out without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison

    Promising review: "See the photo for proof! This is one coat, slapped on, no basecoat. And my nails are on the yellow side with a fair amount of ridges. It goes on easily, dries fast, covers imperfections, and hides ridges. Two coats makes it look like I went to a salon. Lasts weeks, and I am tough on polish. This is the pink, I am going to try the other colors. This polish is worth every penny, and now I can go to meetings and look put together despite my habit of pulling weeds bare-handed :)" —CarissaKJ

    32. A hydrocolloid nose patch (from pimple patch fan-fave brand Mighty Patch) that targets your whole nose all at once, absorbing gunk and oil from multiple pimples and pores all at once and trapping it so you can toss it right in the trash. Say goodbye to those damaging adhesive nose strips once and for all!

    Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" —IHateCleaning

    33. A boot and shoe stretching spray, because breaking in those new boots can be a chore and lead to painful blisters. You can skip the discomfort entirely and get right to long walks on crunchy leaves in no time — just spray this magic potion on the inside + outside of your kicks (they work on lots of materials, including leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, and more), wear them with a pair of thiiick socks, and walk around in your shoes until they dry.

    Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Amanda Davis says: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!!  The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up.  After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"

    Promising review: "Straight up sorcery! This stuff is magic and makes new shoes way more comfortable and fit like a glove! I will definitely order more in the future. This is my new secret weapon." —RockabillyKim

    Promising review: "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner

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.

    Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this? I really had little expectations of this product. I figured it was gonna be maybe half happy with this, but holy animal cracker, this thing really worked. I don’t have to have the awkward bottles all over with the old oil anymore, and it was so easy to get rid of. I’m still just stunned it worked. Beyond happy with this product." —Nichole Reader

    37. A foaming carpet shampoo people love to use on their car interiors. And with all the ice cream cones I've dribbled in my life, I can CERTAINLY understand why. And anyone with a dog? Yep, you need this.

    It's citrus scented so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "Old McDonald's Fries."

    Promising review: "Sorcery. The old possible explanation. I would’ve been happy if this stuff worked half as well as the reviews made it seem. But holy cow, this fabric cleaner is ~ i n c r e d i b l e ~. I bought a '93 Jeep recently, and the inside was pretty gross (check out the photos). The fabric upholstery looked like someone’s Pepsi had exploded everywhere, with dark, drippy stains and spots all over the seats. After using this cleaner with a drill brush, these seats look amazing! It takes some work to really get in there and work a lather, but hoo boy is it worth it. Check out the before and after photos! I’m so pumped. This stuff is great! Definitely a lifelong customer now." —S. Wheeler

I’m African American and have curly, kinky, coils... in between the realm of type 3/4 idk to be honest. All I know, is that when I went to detangle my fro after a long day, this brush easily slid through. I had to double take! I didn’t have to pretangle with a wide tooth comb I just dove right in. My hair is THICK! After each stroke I kept looking at the brush like, “what type of sorcery is this!? And to top it off ZERO BREAKAGE!!! Buy this brush!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life, I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It’s the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered in cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y’all are doing G-d’s work." —SB

    Promising review: "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." —Samantha

    44. A Scrub Daddy sponge, because it is one of the all-time greatest Shark Tank hits for a reason. All the Sharks (except Lori, of course) may have laughed at first, but this smiley lil' guy just plain works on whatever mess you need to clean up — and almost 50,000 5-star reviewers agree.

    Four round, 1-inch thick smiley-faces sponges with two holes for eyes and a crescent-shaped hole for a mouth
    reviewer's blue sponge drying on a drying rack

    If you don't know what makes a Scrub Daddy different from other sponges, let me tell ya: it's firm in cold water (for tougher messes) but soft in warm water (for lighter cleaning). The scratch-free material is safe on tons of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, cast iron, nonstick, chrome, copper, etc. And if you thought the face was just a gimmick, think twice — the eye and smile holes are great for quickly cleaning large and small utensils!

    Promising review: "These Scrub Daddies are the best thing to happen to sponges since the first person looked at a live sponge and said, "I bet I could make one of those without killing a living sponge." They don't smell! They clean like wizardry. And they last and last and last! I ordered these the first time at my apartment, and I've ordered them again for vacation. Helpful tip: Great for cleaning knives. This may give you a shudder, but I just stick the knife into the Scrub Daddy's mouth and pull it out...like licking the cake batter off the knife, but never getting cut! Scrub Daddies are INVINCIBLE and AWESOME!" —J. Bogdanove

    This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she's in love with them too!

    Promising review: "I was skeptical that these wouldn't work as well as silk pillowcases because the price was so low. But, game changer, seriously. Not sure what kind of sorcery is built into this, but it stays cool all night, and my hair hasn’t been a wreck when I wake up. Get this!" —Susie F.

    Promising review: "I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they’re softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled, but a quick wash and dry, and they’re shiny and wrinkle-free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than the competing brands' zip closure.

It scrapes it so no more knife to scrape it, and it just flicks out like a dream. It’s super heavy-duty; I have the metal one with the red scraper. The scraper and flicker are plastic but seem sturdy. It really is ingenious. It’s expensive, but if you double all garlic in recipes like we do, you will love it!" —Barbara Cox

    Promising review: "100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower I didn’t even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." —Amazon Customer

    50. A set of breathable seamless thongs that over 10,000 5-star reviewers (including those who "never wear" thongs and "hate" thongs) swear by for looking seamless under clothes and staying actually comfy all day. And thong lovers say they are just as good or better than brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret.

    the thongs in six colors including black, green, red, brown and camel

    Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every “seamless” thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around.  I just had my fourth baby and first c-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

    51. An exfoliating First Aid Beauty Bump eraser body scrub reviewers with KP (aka keratosis pilaris) swear by to get rid of those tiny red bumps, without slathering on any additional creams or products — just use in the shower instead of your regular soap.

    It contains 10% glycolic and lactic acids, and has tiny pumice exfoliants to buff away dead skin for smooooooooooth arms.

    Promising review: "The first aid beauty bump eraser is truly magic. I have had tiny, dry-skin bumps on my arms and thighs since I was a child and have never been able to get rid of them. I have tried so many scrubs and moisturizers that failed. I came across this product and its now on my subscribe and save list. There are TONS of exfoliants in the scrub so it's super effective. Skin feels so soft after using it because it gets ALL of the dry and dead skin cells completely off. I have bought this for friends as a gift and would highly recommend it to anyone." —Doug Kohlenstein
