"Just wow. I was skeptical at first. I wish I would have bought this sooner."
Promising review: "This product was really amazing. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and never write a review, however this product is worth writing one. I've used the Wand as well and like it, however the biggest drawback of the Wand is having to explain why I'm using it to others and causing undue attention. This is a quick solution to that issue. The product itself works great. I get bad headaches whenever I drink wine, however with this product I'm able to drink two to three glasses without the headaches. I'm not sure exactly what causes the headaches, whether it's tannins, sulfites, etc., however I just know this cures the issue. I'm sure there are those who are skeptical, I certainly was, but I can truly say it works for me and hopefully others will find success using it as well." —luke

Promising review: "I'm skeptical of using oils because I'm acne-prone, but I also have pretty sensitive and super dry skin, so I decided to give this a try. I also suffer from eczema, and knowing I could use this all over my body and not just on my face was a contributing factor. A little of this going a LONG way. I use barely even half a pump for my entire face. I get very dry in the space between my eyebrows, and this has helped clear it up. Also I had a pretty gnarly patch of neck and chest eczema that I couldn't get to go away, and I put this on after my shower last night, then put my usual moisturizer on top of it, and woke up to clear skin! I'll definitely be repurchasing once my bottle runs out, but I think it'll take a while." —Basia

Promising review: "Oh my goodness! This product was so easy to use! Well worth the money! I’m always skeptical on buying products like this because I’m not always sure on the reviews; I hate wasting money. If you're on the hunt to find the right tools to make your own sushi I definitely recommend buying this product!" —Jamie

Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical about this product but my desperation to regain my soft lips made me click the buy button. My lips were dried, cracked, and even bleeding — very painful. Even my tried-and-true expensive-as-heck lip moisturizer I use couldn't help. Having this lip brush did the trick and made all the difference. The exfoliation must have allowed my lip moisturizer to get better absorbed. I was able to see results in just a couple days. Now I have soft and supple lips again. And it was so easy to clean the brush afterwards. Where has this thing been all my life? I don't think I can live without it now." —Double-J

Promising review: "I have to say I was skeptical this would work in my shower on soap scum. I have tried everything including the Pinterest combo of Dawn soap and vinegar, which was a mess and you had to put a lot of elbow grease into it. This stuff WORKS. It has no horrible chemical smell and you just spray and leave it!!!! I am sold. I will be keeping this on hand. I just spray weekly and my shower has never looked better including the glass doors." —Brenda H.

Promising review: "Holy crap!! Are you skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online? ME TOO! That's why I figured all of these rave reviews were a crock of crap. I've seriously bought every kind of vacuum out there, including the Rumba, which is about as intelligent as a cotton swab. But I have four cats and a golden retriever, so I was getting desperate! I believe the saying is… a picture is worth a thousand words. Check mine out (above)! Of note — the 'before' picture was taken of my dog's bed AFTER it went through the washer and dryer. Look at all of that left-behind hair!!! And the 'after' picture was taken after only THREE MINUTES spent vacuuming her bed. I. Am. SOLD! BTW, I've NEVER taken the time to review a product before, just FYI." —Luka Chan

Promising review: "This is a game changer! Literally sucks out all the yuck from a pimple within a few hours, or if you got the time, overnight! I was extremely skeptical at first because let’s be real, how does this little not so sticky dot extract the gross out of your pores? Well I have no idea but it does and honestly these patches are so not obvious on your face I’ve run errands with them on. These literally are my favorite find!" —stoooke

Promising review: "I was so skeptical that my dog would actually wear these, but I put them on and immediately took him out to play fetch. Once he realized that he could run and jump with them on, he was sold. It snowed a few days later and we put them on again and ended up walking six miles without any sore or red spots on his feet after. I did make it a point to not laugh at him and only put them on for fun stuff. He’s getting to the point where he knows they mean fun and will even give me his paws so I can put them on. You have to make sure that you tighten them enough, but once they are on, they should stay. I will be ordering another pair if these get run through." —emiliey

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

Promising review: "I bought this for my elderly mom who loves grilled cheese sandwiches. I was skeptical that this bag on the toaster would work but it did! The only thing I would suggest is after you toast the sandwich, let it sit for a few minutes so the cheese melts better. I prepared it and gave it to her straight away. Bread was toasted on the outside. Clean up was easy. All in all impressive!" —Christopher Carnrick at Pirate Palms

Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this product, but I read a lot of great positive reviews on how well it works and decided to give it a try since the idea of not having to purchase brush head replacements highly appealed to me. I work in cosmetics and wear a lot of makeup daily; this machine did wonders for my skin. It removed about 90% of the makeup with maybe a tiny residue left that I easily went over with a waterproof makeup remover. I am sold on the Foreo and now recommend it to everyone. I even purchased a second one for my husband." —Andrea Sandoval

Promising review: "I'm normally highly skeptical of 'natural' type products when it comes to matters of cleaning and related fields. But after years of white powders, aerosol sprays, and other more synthetic-type approaches to shoe odor issues failed to get the job done, I followed reviews to Lumi's Natural Shoe Deodorizer and decided to give it a shot... And WOW! Following the first application (sprayed in notoriously stinky shoes the night before I planned to wear them), any trace of previously stubborn and offending odor was 100% eliminated and stayed that way all day (despite wearing the shoes on an all-day hike in 95 degree heat). Finally removing these sweat-drenched shoes at day's end, I expected at least some stink to return, but no! The shoes merely had a pleasantly faint residual smell of the Lumi spray itself, and both my socks and feet were neutrally odorless." —RKJ

Promising review: "I was skeptical like many others, but this bag is magical, I think! The cats fought over who got to sit/sleep on it straight out of the package, and they don't mind being zipped up in it at all! I used it two days ago to cut their nails — first time I was able to cut them by myself! There are two Velcro slots at the front on each side for their paws to come out. This morning, I used the bag to apply medicine to their ears by myself...super easy! It's made of a heavyweight-type fabric that keeps their feet secure so they don't run away, and protects you from their sharp nails. No, it doesn't protect you from biting, but I don't know of anything reasonable that does. But for normal cats, who just don't like to be 'fiddled' with, this bag is a godsend. I highly recommend it!" —K. Zainea

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about this because I thought it was just a glorified metal stick for $7. My tongue would be pretty dirty and white, and could never really be fully cleaned with a toothbrush. After purchasing and using it, I only wish I got it sooner, and it's one of my best purchases. It is just a single piece of metal but it has a an edge that's just sharp enough to scrape all the nasty stuff off without hurting. It takes a few days to get used to but I don't have much problem using it to clean deep in the back of my tongue. It's easy to clean and all the dirt rinses right off. I would highly recommend this; there's really nothing else that has done a good as a job cleaning my tongue." —Alan

Promising review: "I was skeptical of products like this, but I figured it was cheap enough to try. I'm SO glad I did! I always have what I call 'fluh fluhs' coming out of the part on my head and no matter how many times I wet them down they stick straight up again. This product sticks them down and they stay down! The only caution I would give is that there's a little learning curve of how hard to press the wand to your hair. I find that I need a very light touch or I get too much of the product in my hair, which then looks a little greasy. If you wipe the brush as you pull it out you should be OK — just like mascara! Great buy!" —tinyntuff

Promising review: "I have extremely curly yet fragile baby hairs. I find that even toothbrushes can pull the hair out, so when I saw how hard the bristles were, I was skeptical. This brush works so much better than I imagined. Not only did I lose less hair, but the stiff bristles brushed my hair into submission. There’s also a little comb at the opposite end that helps with perfecting parts and more precise styling." —Soleil

Promising review: "I was skeptical. I have the sneeze and pee issue. It’s ridiculous and embarrassing. I read the reviews on this and decided to give it a try. After a week or so of using them (15 minutes or more a day), I noticed a difference. I’m on the fourth color and now when I sneeze, no wee. Yay!" —Steph

Promising review: "We have very hard water. Over the last few years a reddish brown ring formed in the toilet and NOTHING worked to completely remove it. It got worse and worse until a good part of the bowl had a yucky looking buildup that I couldn't remove. I began to think that rather than build up, I was dealing with irreparable damage to the bowl itself. I told my husband I thought we'd probably need to replace new toilet. I was skeptical but after reading the other reviews, I purchased this stone. I AM SO GLAD I TRIED THIS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKED! It turns out it really was buildup (not damage to the surface) and with about 10 minutes of scrubbing, my toilet looked brand new! I will most certainly be purchasing this product again." —Jessica

Promising review: "I LOVE this exfoliator! I was skeptical but it really cleans my skin and doesn’t dry me out or burn my skin. I have combo skin and it is great. It makes my makeup blend easier on my skin. I love it so much, I tried it on my husband’s oily skin and he was impressed. I will be buying more from this line for sure." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "If you have hard water, you need to try this. We have a water softener but water is still hard. If you use some of this along with one of the rinse aid product you will be amazed at how much cleaner your dishes and especially glasses look. I was skeptical at first, and was ready to replace the dishwasher until I tried this stuff; it really works. Plus the inside of the dishwasher becomes a lot cleaner, and naturally a clean dishwasher cleans a lot better than a not-so-clean one." —Colin Tuttle

Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the south so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and wasn’t eating as much as he used to. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them Sunday and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw." —Alyssa B

Promising review: "Oh my gosh, can I just say I am COMPLETELY mind blown and AMAZED!!! I've always had super calloused feet because I walk around barefoot often, or without socks. Nothing ever seems to work for me. This product had me skeptical given my history, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm getting married soon and, well, I'm sure he'd rather feel soft feet than nasty, cracked, calloused feet. So I used the 'mask' this past Monday. It is now Sunday, almost a week to the day later. I've been concerned that I once again wasted money. I was preparing for a second treatment tomorrow. My feet are BAD, so I figured nothing could help me, but I'd do what the company recommended and try re-treating one week after. But all of the sudden the dead skin is coming off!!!
Folks, its WORKING!!!! Even the most awfully calloused feet WILL benefit from this!! Trust me!!" —JeepGirl78

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but we have two wall corners that our cats are always rubbing on and we have to constantly wipe clean. Assembly and installation took less than five minutes for both. I placed them at two different heights, one that would be comfortable for them to rub their faces on, and the other so they could rub their body along. The cats were leery at first, but it didn't take long for them to figure out what was up. Now they're always rubbing against it when they go in and out or walk past. Glad they're enjoying it, and that we not longer have to keep wiping those walls down." —Jason Ross

Promising review: "I'm terrible about leaving reviews, but I had to leave one for this product. I've spent years trying to get my white grout looking white again. I've tried countless products and scrubbed so hard that the grout has actually chipped off in a few spots. I was skeptical that something like this could work but it really does. The first time I used it I was a bit disappointed, but I finally figured out that I wasn't using enough — be generous with your product application! Just apply it to the grout, wait about six hours, and then rinse — absolutely no scrubbing required." —Julie

Promising review: "This is amazing quality; I'm surprised it worked especially with the price. I was so scared and skeptical since I have extremely sensitive teeth! The first few times you feel like some stains were lifted and others weren't, so you think it looks blotchy. Don't be scared; it's lifting the really bad stains first!! And the blotchiness you feel is there but goes away after the next treatment. It worked in four days; I saw the difference in my teeth. No Photoshop needed! I'm continuing to use it and reordering refills :)" —Angela G ♡

Promising review: "I was initially skeptical of how well this kit would work (I mean, it was only $20!) and I wasn’t sure if the foggy-ness on my headlights was inside the lens or on the outside. But after seeing it for myself, I am now a believer! Seriously though, for $20, it makes it look like you basically have a brand new pair of lights! It is *so* worth the purchase. I’d highly recommend it, and whenever it wears off, I will certainly be purchasing another kit and doing this again." —Kysondra

Promising review: "Wow!! I was skeptical but let me tell you, this nail grinder is AMAZING!! It is the only tool that is strong enough to quickly grind my GSD's thick nails short. My dog does not like getting groomed and hates getting his nails clipped. I once clipped his nail too short and have been too scared to try again since then (and also because he gets anxious). Not anymore thanks to this tool. It took me only 15 minutes to grind all of his nails down short enough that they don't make a sound anymore when he walks. Thank you Dremel!! You officially saved my life :)" —I.

But I am happy to report that this product seems to do exactly what it promises to do. I love the fact that the cream is light enough to wear under makeup but seems to keep lines at bay. It is also scent-free and does not irritate my sensitive eyes. I'm a believer now!" —Franchesca

Easy to put on the phone (I have the iPhone XS) and they give you the macro lens, a light (it comes in handy!) and a freaking travel kit with a lanyard. I actually lost my lanyard but I emailed them and they will be sending me a new one for free. I’m so happy I made the choice to buy it. I was a bit skeptical, but it was completely worth it." —Judith
