    Genuinely Take Care Of #1 — Yourself — With These 35 Products

    From being organized to getting rid of dead skin, we're prioritizing ourselves starting now.

    1. A daily planner that boasts un-dated pages, so you can use it whenever you'd like and keep track on the days you're feeling extra chaotic. Each sheet also includes areas for you to take notes on water intake, fitness goals, achievements, gratitude, and even the occasional doodle!

    My sister swears by these planners, and she's a Capricorn, so you know she means business when it comes to being organized.

    Promising review: "I love this list. Like many these days, I’m working virtually. It’s difficult having everything online, and I like having this tangible to-do list. Instead of randomly lurching from one overwhelming task to another, this to-do list lets me plan out each day and keeps me organized so I don’t get distracted. I start fresh each day (I actually wrote my list the night before — that way, I’m ready to go when I get up) so I don’t feel like I have tasks that never go away! I also love the spot to keep track of food and activities as that gives me a break to focus on something other than work. My favorite part is the very top ‘today I am grateful for.’ This helps me build gratitude into my day and appreciate all the wonderful people I have in my life." —Joy

    2. A pack of Mighty Patches designed to practically disappear your pus-filled blemishes and pimples with barely any effort. Whether you wear them to sleep or throughout the day, these circular patches work their gunk-sucking magic over the course of a few hours, aka right before your eyes.

    Promising review: "These patches are great for white heads. I personally put these on right after I wash my face and let my skin dry. The patch will absorb the gunk from your blemish preventing the bacteria from spreading to other parts of the skin. These speed up the healing process as well. They stick very well but only to clean and dry skin. They come off easily when you need them to without causing any discomfort. I always need to have these on hand!" —Tristan Schultz

    Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99.

    3. Or these larger Mighty Patches, which can tackle several pus-filled pimples or zits at once in larger areas (like your jawline, back, or neck). Get at those blemishes in harder-to-reach areas and worry less as the hydrocolloid works overnight, and even if you move around in your sleep, these sticky strips won't budge!

    Each strip is 2 inches long and can be cut into smaller sizes if necessary.

    Promising review: "Amazing! I was using a number of little patches on large areas and they just didn’t work that well. I put this patch on my chin and left it over night and was extremely pleased with the results. I had two little pimples and a bunch of hard-to-get blackheads. My chin has never been more clear. It basically feels like those clear waterproof Band-Aids so it did not slide off during the night. I was so surprised and a little grossed out that so much gunk was in my chin. I highly recommend these patches!" —Erin Brown

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99.

    4. A sleek time-marked water bottle because hydration is key, and this bottle boasts style and function. Its frosted, lightweight design is also leakproof and minimalist motivators help you keep track of your water intake throughout the day, so you can feel good instead of parched all the time!

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." —Rosa

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two colors). 

    5. A nail strengthening cream just perfect for anyone who wants to achieve IG-worthy manicures but has no idea where to start. This cream helps condition cuticles and promote nail growth, so you'll be showing off your new mani in no time!

    reviewer after of right hand nails and cuticle

    Promising review: "My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." —M. Hill

    Get it from Amazon for $7.80 (also available in packs of two or three).

    6. A dual hair dryer and brush if you want to make your daily routine even quicker. This beloved hair tool blow-dries and styles hair at the same time thanks to three heat settings and an oval brush designed to help deliver volume and curling. Plus, a ceramic-coated barrel helps protect your hair from excessive heat damage for salon-quality results that last!

    Promising review: "OK. I never write Amazon reviews which isn't cool since I rely on them so much ... but I just had to write one for this!!! So my BFF has been trying to talk me into this dryer for a while. I have REALLY thick, wavy, frizzy hair. I either get blowouts or spend about 20 minutes blow-drying my hair and THEN flat ironing it. So I finally caved and tried this dryer for the first time last week. I started out with pretty wet hair and product in it. About 90% of the way into the dry, I thought it was OK...but then everything came together. My hair was straight, smooth, and styled in about 10 min tops. I couldn't believe it. I immediately called my friend who told me to try it with my hair almost air dried. WHAT? So I did it the next time and again...WOW! This time I dried my hair in about three minutes...not as straight and smooth as the first time but pretty darn close. This dryer is a GAME-CHANGER. I can't believe the amount of money I'm going to save on blow outs!!! My BFF said it's also great for bedhead and quick touchups too. Can't wait. TRY IT...you won't be disappointed!!!" —Ann

    Get it from Amazon for $39.87+ (available in nine styles).

    7. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash — it's designed to gently exfoliate your skin, which can help make KP bumps or "strawberry skin" a thing of the past. Plus, its formula boasts a blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which are great for keeping your skin hydrated and looking its best!

    Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can’t beat this price for the results either." —Ashley Steigerwald

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    8. A top-rated, alcohol-free oral rinse for anyone struggling with keeping their breath fresh even after a thorough brush and floss routine. Not to mention, it helps combat bad breath caused by allergies or nasal drips, which is great because, until those clear up, there's not much you can do!

    Pour a capful, swish and gargle for 30 seconds, after you've finished brushing your teeth in the morning and at night.

    Promising review: "I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. I've found that gargling and using the TheraBreath throat spray in addition to rinsing with this have greatly improved my breath. Will definitely be buying again." —Alex

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint).

    9. A two-pack of dark spot corrector bar soap boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots wherever you need it.

    Promising review: "I’m big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I’ve tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn’t take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" —Daff Laff

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    10. L'Oreal rinse-out moisturizing hair treatment — it revitalizes your tresses with a nourishing formula that leaves you with lustrous, soft-to-touch locks. Depending on your hair type (it works for all), you can use a different dosage to make sure your hair gets the TLC it needs in order to shine bright like a diamond 💎!

    Apply this directly to wet hair (not the roots) and massage for eight seconds, then rinse. Reviewers also say that it works on all hair types from straight to curly, 3a–4c!

    Promising reviews: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair...I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey

    "This stuff works. My hair was so dry and brittle, I tried a hair mask, deep conditioned it  three times, etc., and nothing worked. I tried this the day I bought it and now my hair is soooo luxurious, soft, and bouncy. This stuff is magical." —@___.Fuego ig

    Get it from Amazon for $8.62.

    11. A Renpho percussion massager because sometimes foam rolling just isn't working out your knots enough and paying for massages quickly gets expensive. This handheld gadget helps you release knots, muscle tension, and other body aches you might not even have noticed were making you a grump on the daily!

    Check out a TikTok of the massager in action. 

    Promising review: "My husband bought me a massage gun for Christmas. I opened it, and it had been used (yuck) so I said, let's return it. My daughter in law got one for Christmas as well. We put an end on each one, and we compared them. Mine was from Sharper Image/Costco, hers was this model Renpho. Mine in comparison was not powerful, did not go as fast, and just didn't do much for me. They look similar but they were NOT. So I returned mine, and I ordered this Renpho. Due to the holidays, there were delays with the shipment. I was soooo disappointed because I was looking forward to trying it on my aching feet with plantar fasciitis. I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, and I opened the box to find an UNUSED, BRAND NEW massage gun with all the attachments. I tried it out and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99+.

    12. An earwax removal kit if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use solution begins working in seconds to deliver massive relief to anyone whose ears seem to clog regularly.

    Reviewer holding up the small bottle of ear wax removal aid
    reviewer with removed ear wax bits on finger

    I've been using this stuff for almost a decade, and I'm v v v excited people are finally getting hip and talking about it! I used to have horribly waxy ears and I was prone to ear infections as an adult, so I wanted to make sure my ears were as clear as possible, all the time. Ever since I started using this — which, the first time the crackling of the solution and the wax in your ear may startle you, but it's normal — my ears have been practically wax-free, to the point where even my doctors are impressed! If you don't believe me, just check out the customer reviews to see the GOBS of earwax being removed from people's ear canals. 🤢 

    Promising review: "I knew I had earwax build up problems when my hearing would randomly become muffled and wouldn't unblock for 2–3 days. I started applying the drops twice daily with a warm water bulb flush once a day. The first day only a little bit of wax came out but the ear wax build up was dissolving. The second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled the entire day but when I did the ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out and my hearing was restored. I continued the treatment for both ears and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the ear wax as well. By the fourth day, all of the built up ear wax was cleared out and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" —RnG

    Get it from Amazon for $8.12.

    13. A bottle of Bio-Oil with over 74,000 5-star ratings because of how effectively it helps fade scars, stretch marks, dark spots, and acne marks. Its moisturizing, multipurpose formula features rosemary, chamomile, and lavender oils, along with vitamins A and E, for a skin-soothing all-over oil.

    Promising reviews: "AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put BioOil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation. BioOil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." —Amazon Customer

    "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day, morning and before i go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes." –Amazon Customer

    Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $8.92 (also available in 4.2 oz.).

    14. A super cute set of six silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout and can lead to great results like improved bladder control and more pleasurable sex.

    The silicone material means these kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water.

    Promising review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more mad dashes to the rest room because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady Tauber

    Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $59.08 (also available in a two-pack option).

    15. Foot exfoliating peel masks that must be magic considering the way dead skin flakes off after one application, eventually leaving you with feet softer than when you were born, TBH. Is the peeling skin process gross? Definitely. It's basically black magic, but over 49,000 5-star ratings prove it's worth it.

    Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel (or be totally grossed out) at the layers of dead skin peeling off your feet over the next couple of weeks.

    Promising review: "I’ve tried these peels before and NOTHING has ever been this effective. I usually get the pack of 5 in lavender because they’re cheaper and you get more product. But now I see why, you get what you pay for. I’ve never had a foot peel do this much work. The lavender peels are not as effective on the heel or calluses as I’d like, but these are a game changer!" —iCandi

    Get two pairs from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 10 scents, two sizes, and multi-packs).

    16. Or! A foot file, which requires a little elbow grease to tackle those crusted and calloused feet once and for all (or at least, regularly). You can skip the costly pedis and make a spa day out of it from the comfort of your home!

    Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently, and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them. This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    17. Plus, a professional-grade callus-removing gel that's earned 3,000 5-star reviews (and counting) because it effortlessly removes calluses, cracks, and dead skin in just a few steps! Not to mention, you have an excuse to draw yourself a fancy foot bath and enjoy a little TLC.

    Promising review: "Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    18. wildly popular Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo with a 4.6/5-stars rating from reviewers for how effectively it helps provide relief for itchy scalps while fighting dandruff. Now, every time you scratch your head or brush hair out of your face, you don't have to be worried about leaving flakes behind! Seems like this product is nothing less than enchanted!

    The brand recommends using it every three to four days for up to eight weeks for best results.

    Promising review: "For so many years I couldn't wear black, would have to dust my chair off, and was constantly moisturizing my nose and face. One day, a doctor friend suggested I try this out for my nose, she didn't know I suffered with severe dandruff as well. She then told me to use it on my scalp as well. At first it did nothing. Then magically after say, the third week of using this off and on, I noticed a difference. I now have almost zero dandruff, 10,000 percent better and I no longer have a dry flaky nose, brow, or beard area. My face is no longer red as well. This has been a miracle cure for me. One I take for granted but quickly remember when I put on a black shirt or check my chair for an embarrassing snow storm. Try it!!!" —Grumpy Dad

    Get it from Amazon for $15.47.

    19. A shampoo scalp massager designed to help you give your scalp the thorough exfoliation and massage it deserves, so you can *really* enjoy washing your hair at home with the quality head scratching of a salon. Not to mention, it'll also help your shampoo go a looooong way by distributing it evenly on your roots.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord uses one of these, and here's what she has to say: "WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

    Promising review: "I’ve suffered from dry skin and a dry scalp ever since I turned 30. The only thing that helps me is exfoliating. I was initially concerned that the product would be too rough and damage my sensitive scalp or too soft and ineffective. However, this brush is perfect for me. It does not tangle my long hair, it is easy to use and just firm enough to get the job done. My scalp no longer itches and the icky buildup is gone. I can’t believe something so affordable has made such a difference in the health of my scalp. I’ve used expensive shampoos and conditioners to no end with barely a difference. I wish I discovered this product much sooner!" —AH

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in three colors).

    20. A box of dentist-recommended Crest whitening strips that only take 30 minutes of treatment each time but, with continued use, can remove up to 20 years of stains from your teeth. With results like this, could it be anything but witchcraft???

    Reviewer at day 0 and day 22 showing the strips noticeably whitened their yellow teeth
    Reviewer's Crest whitening strips laid out in front of the product box

    Each pack includes 30 minute treatments, and two hourlong treatments.

    Former BuzzFeed editor Haley Zovickian uses these strips and here's her review: "Folks, these are not the gloppy whitening strips of your childhood that slid all around your mouth and had you spitting out globs of product every few minutes so you wouldn't swallow it. I know this because I grew up using those exact strips to treat my hereditarily naturally-kinda-yellow teeth. I eventually swore off whitening strips because they were so awful and uncomfortable. 10 years later, I decided to give at-home whitening another try since I now drink like a million cups of coffee a day, which obviously did nothing to help my yellow teeth lol. Long story short, I was FLOORED when I tried these strips. They may or may not be the best beauty development of the 21st century. These things stay put with literally zero gloppy residue, no spitting or readjusting required. They work so well, I'm almost resentful ~kids these days~ won't experience how absurd at-home whiteners used to be lol. Anyway, they're so comfortable that the 30 minutes or an hour you have them on zips by, so that by the time you're through, your teeth look whiter with virtually zero effort on your part. Can I nominate this for some sort of award??

    "BTW: If your teeth feel sensitive while you're using the strips (mine did), just take a break for a few days before starting them again."

    21. Orrrr a teeth-whitening pen which delivers results in just two weeks by simply painting a thin layer over your teeth every night! If whitening trays and strips seem like too much of a hassle, these travel-friendly pens are easy to use and effectively remove stains over time for a brighter, whiter smile!

    Promising review: "These pens really work. I was skeptical before buying them, but then saw a difference after just one use. The best part is they even whitened the stubborn coffee stains I had between my teeth. I’ll keep using them. They are super easy to use and have no taste that I could discern. Really good product." —LCassie

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.97.

    22. An avocado heating pad that boasts a soothing lavender scent to help whisk you away to a place of comfort (read: your bed or couch). It takes less than two minutes in the microwave to get this huggable heating pad to a temperature that'll help with cramps and other body aches, so you can start feeling better in a jiffy!

    Promising review: "This little guy is amazing. Bought it for cramping and it’s so warm and comfy. It really helps relieve pain and has a nice light lavender scent (definitely not overpowering). Perfect little heating pad, and it’s cute, too!" —Kelsey

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in 12 other shapes). 

    23. An itty-bitty toenail brace set, so you can help reverse painful ingrown nails in no time with barely any effort at all. Just apply the strip to your toenail, and it'll straighten out the sides to help eliminate any pressure. Turns out, those boots were made for walking — you just had an irritating ingrown toenail.

    The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs.

    Promising review: "I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product, did I realize that I had a major problem, and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails, that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H.

    Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99.

    24. O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream because winter is here, which means dry skin season is definitely upon us. This restorative cream helps transform and soothe dry, cracked skin with a protective moisture layer that delivers hydrating relief.

    Promising review: "My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions and paint on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the the product. I've tried it and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands and my fingertips are well on the way towards healing....and this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony and money." —Desert D.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    25. And the O'Keeffe's Lip Repair — an overnight lip mask to help heal and repair dry, cracked, or chapped lips. Over 9,000 people rated it 5 stars, and I bet they were smiling while they did it with their moisturized lips!

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

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    26. A structured planner, so you can face the day head-on by keeping track of your daily schedule, goals, habits, aspirations, and more in a travel-friendly notebook that also includes stickers! It's undated, so you can skip a week when you don't need it and use it as necessary.

    The planner is designed with 52 weeks and 59 pages for notes.

    Promising review: "Love this planner. I love the free-form. You can skip weeks you know you're out of town or whatever and save those pages for another time. I think my favorite part of this planner is the first two pages. Everything to do with this planner is how YOU make it. For me, it also helped (kind of made) me reflect on things I really do want and goals I really do want to achieve. Words of affirmation was difficult for me to fill out so I looked them up online and wrote the ones that spoke to me most. How I want to/should be seeing myself." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).

    27. A tub of Vanicream Moisturizing Cream, if you want to soothe dry, itchy skin all over. A gentle paraben-, fragrance-, and formaldehyde-free formula makes this skincare superstar earn a gold star (actually, it's a blue seal, but still) from the National Eczema Association. We love to see it.

    Promising reviews: "Swear by this stuff for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin due to rosacea and skin allergies. My dermatologist recommended Vanicream Lite Lotion for my face. It was OK, but then I discovered this stuff — the moisturizing cream in the pump. The Vanicream Moisturizing Cream is fantastic — my rosacea is so much better since switching to this stuff. It keeps my sensitive skin happy and protected. I even use it during the summer months with no problems. Vanicream made a fantastic product!" —S

    "Finally a moisturizer that doesn’t burn, sting, or irritate my skin. I’ve had super-sensitive skin all my life, especially on my face, and I am 46 years old. I have finally found the one lotion that doesn’t irritate my face. I am day two into using the cleanser and the moisturizer, and you have no idea how great it is for my face not to burn and turn bright red — just fantastic!!!! The moisturizer is a bit thick so you don’t need a lot; even though it’s a little higher priced it’ll last forever, and it’s worth it when you have super-sensitive skin. FAN FOR LIFE!!!" —Alisa Griffey

    28. A stainless-steel blackhead spatuala for anyone who doesn't even have enough time in their day to schedule a facial, let alone actually get one. This easy-to-use scrubber helps unclog pores using high-frequency vibrations, which helps you have skin that better absorbs your favorite skincare products. Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean!

    I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!

    Promising review: "Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can’t reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." —Paige Chaney

    32. A "flossing" toothbrush, in case having things between your teeth is a fear right out of your nightmares, these nifty tools will help you out! Each toothbrush is designed with several layers of soft bristles that are similar to floss, reaching between teeth, under the gums, and deep into those hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord uses these, and here's her take: "I personally bought a few months ago this 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: "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 amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with 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.

    Promising review: "If you’re like me and have put your hair through the ringer with color treatments and heat styling, Olaplex No. 3 is a total lifesaver. This stuff is nothing short of magic in a bottle! I was skeptical at first due to the price, but let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. I use it once a week, and each time I’m left amazed at how much healthier and stronger my hair looks and feels. It’s super easy to apply, and I love that I can leave it on for as long as I want, sometimes even overnight for an extra boost. After rinsing it out, my hair is noticeably softer, smoother, and more manageable. Plus, it helps with frizz control, which is a big win for my unruly hair. I’ve also noticed less breakage and split ends since I started using Olaplex No. 3 regularly. The only downside is the size of the bottle; it’s a bit small for the price, but a little goes a long way, and the results are undeniable. I’ve tried countless hair masks and treatments, but Olaplex No. 3 is in a league of its own. If you want to bring your damaged hair back to life, don’t hesitate to give this a try. It’s a game-changer!" —Katt Aloo

    Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

    Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee
