Promising review: "For background, I am a certified dental assistant. I have tried professional whitening systems in the past, but I wasn't happy with it due to the sensitivity it was causing. I used these Crest strips twice a day for about 10 days, but stopped because I was happy with the shade at that point. I COULD have gone whiter, but I prefer a more natural look. I wish I had taken before/after pics! These strips cause a tiny bit of sensitivity, but nothing a little Sensodyne won't fix. Super easy to use too. One tip I'd recommend is drying your teeth off with a paper towel before placement, just so they adhere better. Also, keep in mind that you may need to spit periodically while having the white strips in, so keep a paper towel or something nearby. Otherwise, just follow the instructions and they work awesome! Seriously worth the money in comparison to an $80 kit from your dentist." —Emma

Promising review: "I am very happy I found this eye cream. I was using something else that I really loved but got discontinued last year and I was having trouble finding something to replace it with when I came across this one on Amazon. I've been using it now for a bit over a month, and it's been great. I love and use rosehip oil, and the fact that this eye cream contains this as one of the main ingredients is a plus for me. I am a holistic esthetician, and I will be using this one on my clients in my treatment room as well." —Julia H

Promising review: "I’m a barista at Starbucks so obviously I know how I like my coffee. For a while I was using an immersion blender to froth my milk for my morning cup of coffee but it just wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do. I finally bought this frother and I’m so so happy with it!! It doesn’t need to be plugged in so it takes up way less space. It is a lot quieter than the blender, and I can use any size cup I want because the frother is so small. Not only can I heat up my milk for a hot coffee, but I can also use it just the same with cold milk for my iced coffee!! Highly recommend this product!!" —Heather Michael

Promising review: "This is a really nice grinder. I’m a professional coffee roaster and love brewing great coffee at home. I should have bought this OXO in the first place. It outclasses cheaper grinders in every way. There is an appreciable difference between each click on the adjustment wheel, giving you total control to dial in the grind to your brew method and personal preferences. I don’t brew espresso at home, so I can’t comment on the very fine grind settings. Something else I’ve noticed is that this machine is very well grounded, which means the grinds don’t fly around and make a huge mess. They stay nicely in the collection cup, which is super easy to clean if you’re switching between different beans. I can’t recommend this grinder enough. It’s very simple to operate, looks handsome on the counter, and produces a superb grind at a fair price. A great buy." —Hunter Dorné

Promising review: "This is the best face razor I have ever used. It took my hair off so easily. Extremely good quality. I am a licensed cosmetologist and do makeup on clients, and I feel like it makes my skin look flawless after I put my foundation on. I love these and will continue to purchase. Price is also good for the quality of the product." —Megan Markvicka
"I am a licensed esthetician who performs dermaplanning services weekly on clients using medical grade blades. I got these for myself at home since I’ve always been a fan of Tinkle razors and hate peach fuzz. The amount of dead skin that is removed with these along with the peach fuzz is up there with my medical grade dermaplanning blades. Just be careful because they are sharp. Great for a quick touchup but definitely doesn’t replace a professional treatment." —Carli

Promising review: "Absolutely zero dislikes for this product. As a professional maid, I regularly run into hard water issues in new clients’ homes. I have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at hard water stains from vinegar, baking soda, Barkeepers Friend, Soft Scrub, 0000 steel wool, green scouring pads, what have you. Nothing worked until I found this fantastic product. I have restored so many showers, whether it is removing hard water stains on glass and faucets, rust rings from shaving cream cans left in fiberglass showers, children’s toothpaste dye color from natural stone, stains from coffee drips left on formica counter tops, etc. Hands down best product I have ever used in my profession. If I could be a brand rep for Bio Clean, I would be! (NO they did not pay me for this review.)" —Kate Leask

Promising review: "I am a pelvic floor physical therapist, and these weights are my go-to for patients with a variety of pelvic floor conditions. They're smooth, comfortable, and very easy to use, and there's a weight for everyone. I highly recommend these to people dealing with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and many other issues. If you're not sure how to get the most of of them, Intimate Rose is very responsive, or if you need personalized help I would recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT near you, but these weights can definitely be a very useful tool for many people with the right guidance." —Kate Amsden

Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this was recommended to me by doctor as there are some, ahem, regularity issues at my age. This thing really does work. My 60 minutes in the loo has gone down to less than 5–10 minutes. Won't poo....er, do without it again." —D. Milner

Promising review: "As a metallurgical engineer I avoided stainless-steel appliances for years because I knew we could not solve the finger marks and water staining. When we bought a new house with all stainless I had to take over their cleaning and I hated it! My years of education and experience in metals were of no help to me. Then, In frustration, I stumbled on Therapy. It works. Now I just use a dry rag daily and and re-polish every once in a while." —Twig Family

Promising review: "It really gets out the hair from undercoat of my Aussie without pulling and hurting her. It came highly recommended by my groomer. It really helps with shedding, pulls that undercoat out, and keeps my old girl cool in the Florida heat." —R. Smith
"This works amazing. I am a groomer and this works really well for the clients that have dogs with a lot of undercoat that’s shedding. I may get a second one for home use. And you can’t beat the price!" —Whitney

Promising review: "This mask is amazing! Made my skin look at least five years younger and made it so soft! I am an esthetician and have wanted to try the pricey Hanacure mask forever but when I came across this same product for a fraction of the price I ordered it right away. It does have a mild smell but it isn’t unpleasant... and I’m super sensitive to smell. Application is super easy with the brush the mask comes with. It get super tight while drying and I found it easiest to remove with a wash cloth. My skin instantly looked firmer and more even in tone." —jacqueline

Promising review: "I used to work in beauty salons and all our hairdressers were using Olaplex products to protect clients' hair from damage while coloring. I use it now for myself. Normally my hair is very dry at the ends and dull. After using this product it looks and feels much more lively." —Emmy

My colleague (pictured above) also swears by this stuff. Check out her Olaplex review here for more deets and some before and afters that'll make you buy this in bulk.

Promising review: "I’ve never left a review on Amazon before, but this product is amazing! I am a licensed esthetician as well as a licensed laser technician and I have never seen an at-home tool work as many wonders as this one did. I have extremely sensitive skin and was recovering from an acid burn I received while I was in school, which caused horrible acne and left even worse scarring. I had a total of nine laser treatments but was left with lots of uneven skin texture and hyper pigmentation, but after using this tool at home twice my skin is almost completely back to normal and I am back to wearing no makeup. I will be recommending this to all my clients!" —Meghan B.

Promising review: "As a groomer I’ve used professional dog grooming Dremels that cost double and triple what this little guy cost and this is great! It came ready to do the job. It is easy to hold and is perfect for touch-ups after clipping the nails or just tipping them. It is nice to not have another cord hanging around and charges quick. I don’t leave the charger plugged in all of the time since that tends to kill the battery a lot faster. If I know I have a dog coming in I’ll charge it and use it that day and the charge usually lasts for a few days, (depending how often I use it). I don’t recommend using it on big dogs unless you are just touching up the nails since it doesn’t have the strength to grind down big nails like that." —T.I.M.

Promising review: "As a professional woodworker, finisher, and restorer of 30 years, this product is supreme in every way. It will be a staple in my supplies. I only wish I could've created it." —Richard F. Gentry
"I'm a carpenter so I'm aware of good oils for wood. This has to be the best furniture polish I've ever used hands down. It's long-lasting, unlike most of those worthless watery polishes. It's not cheap, but in this case you're getting what you paid for. My sister, knowing I'm a carpenter asked what she should use, and I recommended this stuff. She went out of her way to tell me how much she loved it also. Great product." —Andybuildz

Promising review: "I have a lawn care company so to say I have tried everything almost seems redundant. Also, I typically do not get excited about a product because I feel it should do its job. However, these are seriously amazing. Ergonomically they wonderful because the hand part is like a baseball glove. It uses your arm to help support the load allowing a balanced feel to what is being picked up. Another great feature is when I am trimming shrubs I can use a leaf blower to move the clippings out and rake them up. Then using these and a bag stand, will make child's play out of what would otherwise be a rough task. Picking up leaves is also great in that you can get a great amount, but you can also smash them straight down to compact them in the bag without the worry of hitting a stick and cutting your hands up. If you pass up a chance to get a pair of these just know us lawn care guys are driving by and just dying to show you how much easier that chore can be for you by using this product." —J. Bradburn

Promising review: "I have been a professional dog groomer for over 35 years and this stuff does what it says it will. Even on the most coarse coats it turns it into a thing of beauty; any mats almost fall out. This is a whole new world for me. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? This old dog just learned one." —sandra k. steele

This set comes with five face brushes and 11 eye brushes.
Promising review: "I’m a professional makeup artist and I’ve been in search of brushes that are good quality but not super expensive. I came across these and I’m pleasantly surprised! I usually have multiple clients back to back so sometimes I don’t have time to clean my brushes so I needed some backups and now I find myself using these just as much as my Morphe and Real Techniques ones (which I love). The bristles are super soft and they don’t shed at all. The face brushes are super dense and don’t soak up too much product. The eye brushes are soft and can blend and pack on shadow really well. I also didn’t notice any odd smells. I would definitely recommend this!" —Zara

Promising review: "As a professional chef in the industry for 20 years now, I have my own file of brands I seek out. When it comes to cast iron, Lodge is a brand I know is going to be good. When it came to the price. I couldn't click buy it fast enough. This has become my go-to pan at home any time I am working with meat.

Reviewers say that their dogs shed A LOT after the first wash with this deshedding shampoo, but over time they notice less shedding.
Promising review: "I used to be a professional dog groomer, and this stuff works!! Nothing takes away all the shedding of course, but this stuff and the conditioner really make a huge difference. The key is mostly in the conditioner; you rub it in to the coat, then use a dog dryer (NO heat) to blow the conditioner into the coat backwards. Next rinse out completely and again use the dryer. I like the fact that the ingredients are not full of all kinds of chemicals." —Jon

Promising review: "I was a barista for 8+ years and I'm a big-time coffee snob. This system is easier then any I've ever used to make cold brew! And most importantly, the quality of the coffee extraction is excellent. The coffee is smooth and strong. I wish I had gotten the bigger size, because the smaller size only yields about three glasses of iced coffee, but I highly recommend it! If you are using the right bean and grind it coarsely like they recommend, it will be just as good, if not better, than your local cafes. Enjoy!" —Eric S.
