    "This Is The Solution You've Been Looking For": 47 Products Under $20 That Deliver Jaw-Dropping Results

    The stainless-steel tongue scraper and ink stain remover work so darn well, the only explanation for the unbelievable results is sorcery.

    1. The Pink Stuff to remove grease and grime from quite literally any surface, from stoves to bathtubs to even jewelry! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

    Promising review: "I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don’t even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." —Hailey Peters

    "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 w minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CLR wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" —Kim Montero

    Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

    2. Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream that helps renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, this calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.

made their nails so much longer and stronger

    Promising reviews: "This is amazing! I went from super brittle nails that I could never grow out. I had acrylic nails for two years and I wanted a break; they were so thin and damaged from the acrylics. Now only after a few weeks my nails are completely healed and grown and will not break! I wish I found this sooner, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money on nail maintenance! Try it!" —Chelsea Lauren Hill

    "I used it once a day and experienced visible results within the first week of using it. Three weeks later my nails are growing out past the cuticle and look so much better." —Lauri Bland

    Get it from Amazon for $7.94.

    3. And a nail renewal formula so you can treat your poor, discolored toe that you stubbed on your bed (but obviously it was the bed's fault, not yours). 

    This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve their appearance, anddddd reduce discoloration and thickness, leaving you with some dramatic results. 

    Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot 

    Get it from Amazon for $16.36+ (also available with a nail file).

    4. A wire-free bra that has a lace in the middle that'll give your boobs a push and allows you to adjust the tightness. Can a regular push-up bra do that? I think NOT. 

    Promising review: "I usually go to Victoria's Secret for their bombshell bra, pay way too much and deal with being uncomfortable from having to layer a sports bra over it to keep my boobs in place. But this bra, I am a huge fan. The fit is great, comfy wide band and adjustable. I can wear it every day all day and I will forget it's there every time because of how soft it is and I don't have to keep fluffing it up." —Shadow witch

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 32A–40C and 11 colors).

    5. A stain and odor eliminator because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of saying, "bad dog!" you'll be shouting, "amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that, gone.

    Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I’m potty training a puppy and it’s not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I’m writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I’m buying more the second I’m done with this review. I love it." —lexi

    Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes).

    6. An impressive peanut butter knife that had to have been designed by a genius. It'll get out all the PB from the sides, bottom, and crevices so you can enjoy every. last. drop. #PBloversunite!

    Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items when grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* Two days on Amazon Prime later, and here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES! After just scraping the bottom of a big ol' peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously, if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife.

    *Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." —CW

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    7. A stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue. It'll remove that weird taste from your mouth and odor causing bacteria, so the next time someone offers you a stick of gum, you'll know it's NOT because you have bad breath.

    Dr.Tung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. 

    Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago but it was plastic and shaped a little differently and I just didn’t see much results so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which in this case is a good thing ;-). I’m very happy with the quality of product and the way in which this handy little tool performs. An added plus is the cute travel bag which comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18

    Get it from Amazon for $7.68+ (also available in multipacks).

    8. A carpet cleaner that'll remove everything from fabric surfaces, whether that be your tiny oopsies or your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. 

    Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and various packs).

    9. And a bottle of Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle because your kids and pets have been dragging in dirt inside your home for way too long and it's finally time to clean it. This formula will tackle any messes and spills leaving your carpet good as new. 

    This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in biodegradable cleaning products.

    Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and scents).

    10. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes thanks to its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part: The formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it has the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5 AND it has over 247,000 5-star ratings!

    Promising review: "Love it, love it, love it!!! You really look like you have fake eyelashes on. This mascara is amazing! It's not thick and lumpy, and it glides on smoothly and precisely. You feel like you had a makeup artist do your eyes!!! It lasts all day — no touch-up required, no smearing, no clumping. I use soap and warm water to remove. I am 500% completely happy and satisfied!" —Very Satisfied!!

    11. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens that can help remove years of staining and only take 30 seconds to apply! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers.

    Promising review: "I have bought so many products to whiten my teeth and none of them worked as well nor were as reasonably priced as this pen. Two days into using this pen twice a day I could see a significant difference. This took out stains from coffee, tea, wine, and even removed the discoloration from previously smoking. I wish I found this product sooner! One thing I noticed was that this doesn’t cause any teeth sensitivity. I am super impressed and will continue to use this for years to come." —Alicia

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

    12. An overnight tank cleaner because honestly, when's the last time you thought to clean the back of your toilet? I'm guessing a while, so you don't know what's been festering in there. Just toss some of the powder into the tank and it'll literally clean it for you, literally. 

    Promising review: "According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo [above] you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." —Nicole

    Get it from Amazon for $7.45+ (also available in a multipack).

    13. Cosrx snail mucin essence that soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — It's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin!

    Promising review: "I use this stuff twice a day and I swear my skin has never been so soft and clear. I put it on my face damp, pat it into my skin and let it dry for like 20 seconds. It’s a slimy texture at first but doesn’t dry sticky. I’ve had it since July and have barely used half the bottle. I wish I knew about this sooner! Definitely a trend that’s actually worth the hype. 😍" —Marissa Paige

    Get it from Amazon for $17.

    14. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it with vinegar and water, heat it up, and once all the steam runs out (around seven minutes), wipe down the inside. There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama!

    Promising review: "This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." —Katy H

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors).

    15. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that purifies skin (any type!) from makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum *without* clogging up your pores. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay.

    Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

    Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

    16. A nongreasy hair wax stick so you can tame your flyaways when you want that slicked-back hair style. Plus its castor oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E formula helps to nourish, soften, and make your hair ✨shiny✨.

    Promising review: "Thought this would be an inferior product for the price. I’ve always used Bed Head, but this time, when I saw what Bed Head cost, I took a gamble on this wax stick. Guess what?! It works the same as the expensive Bed Head. So save your money and enjoy this affordable, great product." —AJ Carrelli

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in multipacks).

    17. And a strong hold edge control if you want to securely lay your baby hairs. Not only will this hold your edges down, it'll also moisturize and soften 'em. Plus it's perfect for ALL curl types — kinky, coily, or loose — and will give you a flake-free, flawless look. 

    Bask and Lather is a woman-owned biz that specializes in natural products made from 100% organic ingredients.

    And check it out on TikTok! This reviewer even went to the gym and their edges did not move.

    Oh, and I totally understand that laying your edges is not a necessity and isn't everyone's cup of tea! For more on this, check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."

    Promising reviews: "Definitely works with no residue left behind and lasts ALL DAY! The only product that won’t get greasy and lift after a few minutes!! I love it! Will be buying again." —Ms. T

    "My curls are very stubborn. No matter how much Eco styling gel I used when putting my hair in a puff or ponytail the curls would still pop out. This edge control looks nice and sleek while giving my hair shine and holding my curls down all day!" —Brandi

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    18. A brush kit that you attach to a drill. A DRILL. Just pop it on to the head and let the tool do all the work for you.

    It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!

    Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles).

    19. A descaling solution so you can finally rid your coffee machine or espresso maker of limescale and mineral buildup without scrubbing. It'll extend the life of your machine *and* make your cup o' joe taste better. 

    Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    20. Or a set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to cleanse your machine of old grinds and residue. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run. It can help extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh!

    Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95.

    21. A jar of super moisturizing hand cream that may be the savior for your dry and cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer that will actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour.

    For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.

    Promising review: "I didn’t think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn’t disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it’ll last a while! We’ll most certainly be repeat customers!" —HSmomma

    Get it from Amazon for $9.46 (also available in a pack of two or 12).

    22. Mighty Patches to tackle those pesky pimples *white*head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which speeds up the healing process. Plus it hides pimples and prevents from you from picking at them! It works so well you'll forget that there was even a pimple there.

    Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." —nekojita

    Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $10.77.

    23. A medicated dog shampoo that could help your poor doggo who's been dealing with dry, flaky, and oil skin. Plus it can give them a healthier-looking coat! Happy dog = happy you. 

    It's paraben-, dye-, and soap-free!

    Promising review: "Naturally, because of the ingredients, it has a strong smell. However, it does seem to leave my dog's skin feeling dry and provides good relief for her poor itchy skin. My dog Molly is a 9-pound mini dachshund whose little chest makes contact with the grass all the time so her skin gets itchy and irritated. I’ve been bathing her regularly with this shampoo and it is giving her some relief. No more greasy, flaky skin. Her skin and fur is now dry and soft." —Climbyourarms

    Get it from Amazon for $8.96+ (available in two sizes).

    Promising review: "I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" —Amazon Customer

    25. A cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally be one step closer to having that kitchen that you've been dreaming about. Now you can chef it up all day long without having to worry about a messed up stove!

    The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.

    Promising review: "As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new." —Christi

    Promising review: "This stuff really works on grease! I was skeptical about purchasing this product because nothing seems to clean my greasy stovetop. A friend recommended that I try this brand and when I saw the chance to get a two-pack, I thought it would be a value. Once I used this for the first time, I am never going back to wiping down my stovetop the same way again." —Kindle Customer

    Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad, I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

    Get it from Amazon for $15.09.

One wipe cleaned my ENTIRE BATHTUB, including the hard water buildup and some residual soap scum. The wipe stayed wet for the entire use, and there was absolutely no sweating involved. I hate cleaning but I was so pumped about the tub, I took wipe #2 to my hood vent and good golly, it's like it's brand new. I've told everyone I know to buy these." —JenM

    Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this two to three times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results.

    Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno

    30. A deshedding glove so you can groom your fuzzy BFF without them fussing, because they'll probably enjoy it!

    AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing. She says, "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was 5, and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand."

    Promising review: "The cats are in heaven!!! We have four cats and bought this to try to cut down on shedding and hairballs. After having it for just a week, we never want to be without it. Even our antisocial cat comes up and begs for a pet when the glove comes out. The only thing that is not perfect on this glove is that I have smaller hands, and the glove is a little big, so my pinky doesn't stay where it should. But hey, if that's the only downside, we aren't going to complain. Long story short, if you love your pets, you will buy this glove as soon as possible." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $6.79.

    31. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub that exfoliates dry and rough bumps. This scrub can also help decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan and cruelty-free and safe for all types of skin!

    Promising review: "I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it’s one of my best mistakes. I have the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I’ve been using once in a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I’m scared to stop using it. I don’t want to go back to my old legs!" —Eylote

    32. A bestselling and surprisingly inexpensive argan oil hair mask because you locks deserve to look shinier and feel healthier. It'll revive and strengthen you weak and damaged hair and your mane will look better than ever.

    Promising review: "My hair is very thin and curly. The ends are damaged from heat and color, causing my hair to look even more unruly. I do oil treatments once a week and only wash my hair two to three times a week but NOTHING has made my hair feel like this product does. There is an immediate difference as soon as this product touches my hair. It leaves my hair feeling so silky, even after I rinse it out and dry my hair." —Melissa

    33. This jewelry cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics ~shine bright like a diamond~. Your jewelry will be the epitome of the song. Save yourself a trip to the cleaner, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen, brush, and lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new!

    Promising review: "This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" —KFray

    34. Bruise cream if you're clumsy by nature (guilty!) and get bruises ALL the time, even in your sleep. This will calm bumps, swelling, and discoloration so you may want to keep it on hand the next time you take a trip to the pantry (and inevitably bump into the corner).

    Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in cream or gel).

    35. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo to thoroughly remove all concealer, foundation, highlighter, or blush from your brushes instead of just running them through water. It washes out makeup fast without using any harsh chemicals — perfect if you have sensitive skin. Use it with a silicone brush-cleaning mat for the ultimate cleanse.

    This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free.

    Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" —Ryan Brooks

    36. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act!

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

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde can vouch for this stuff: "I've been using this on a scar on my chest for the past few weeks (trying to make it less noticeable before my wedding!), and it's slowly but surely fading away. I apply it at night, but reviewers recommend applying it in the morning as well for best effectiveness, so I'll start doing that too. It smells really nice and it doesn't feel as oily on your skin as you might think."

    Promising review: "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

    37. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes because as much as you want to be a plant parent, you just can't...well, parent. No fear, your miracle is here, literally. Just stick these into the soil and they'll fertilize and take care of your money tree for ya.

    Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season.

    Promising review: "I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." —victoria

    38. An ink remover if your kid (or you) stained your fave shirt that you thought was done for. Just rub this formula into the ruined area and let it sit for up to 12 hours. Then you can just toss in into the washing machine with all your other laundry! Plus this bad boy also works wonders for blood, wine, grass, and other stains. 

    For permanent marker specifically, reviewers say it does take some time and scrubbing, but they were able to get most if not all of the stain out with persistence!

    Promising reviews: "Imagine large blobs of permanent blue Sharpie on a white football uniform. Now imagine that the ink had sat on the garment for over a week before the uniform was washed and dried by a mom completely unaware of the ink blobs. This product took out 95%+ of the ink and was easy to use. Now said kiddo does not look like the only one with a spotted jersey. A+ result." —Baby B's Mom

    "Amodex took ink out of my expensive scrubs. A pen leaked in my pocket and made a thick glob of ink stain on the scrub jacket and a little on the pants. After using the Amodex and washing in cold water, there is no evidence of a stain and the fabric looks exactly how it looked before the stain. There was no damage or discoloration of the fabric. Thank you, Amodex. This product just saved me the $75 that it would have cost to replace the scrubs." —Michelle hammer

    39. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment because your windshield wipers do absolutely nothing when it starts to torrentially downpour. This'll repel rain, sleet, and snow from your windows so you can actually see while you drive. Stay safe out there!

    Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging!

    Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong

    40. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll be your savior if you notice that your hair is thinning. The keratin, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and — of course — biotin formula helps to moisturize your scalp so you locks can grow in thicker than ever. 

     Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not crazy about the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

    41. A fabric defuzzer because those darn pills *ugh*  refuse to come off of your clothes no matter how many times you go over them with a lint roller. This nifty thing will remove all the fuzz, lint, and pills so you can wear your fave sweater out again.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." —Ruth

    42. A foot file to scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin.

    Promising reviews: "Okay, so I’m still in shock how well this worked and gave me soft beautiful heels again! I’ve had dry, cracked 'teeth' on my heels since eight years ago from being a server at two restaurants…and I’m like WHY DIDN’T I discover this sooner?! It had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to wear sandals in public because they just looked so gross. Then one day I realized that I should probably try SOMETHING because they were getting so bad that the 'teeth' would scratch my leg at night when my foot swiped my leg and it hurt haha so I saw this Rikans file for $10 and after some research decided to give it a shot. I honestly think thought it would take at least 10 sessions before I’d see any improvement but NO! This tool just grated my teeth away in ONE session."benjamin kim

    43. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel so you can soften the hard skin to easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice or rasp to scrub away. 🧽

    Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver. I bought this and a pedicure kit. Had I known how well this would work I would have just purchased this. I had no idea this existed. I have been living in pain for years due to a callus on my foot that comes and goes after a lit of work. This stuff melts the skin away. I am amazed and wish I found it sooner." —Samantha Sims

    44. AND! Dermora foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the masks on for about an hour and within 6–11 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right?

    Promising review: "My feet were definitely in need of some attention. I didn't have high expectations, but was super impressed by the results. It was a weird process as my skin began to peel off over a two week span of time. It was definitely hard to keep from using lotion as it worked it's magic because my feet were itchy, but it was worth the discomfort in the end. My feet are baby soft! I will not hesitate to purchase this again when my feet need some love." —Kimi

    45. A set of clip-on bangs because as much as you think it's time to change up your style, you can't seem to make the commitment (same). Just attach these to the front of your hair and you're one step closer to achieving that iconic T-Swift look.

    This can also be a great way of doing a trial run with bangs before you commit to the real thing! Note that many reviewers trim them since they come rather long and thick, and to make them less shiny, some people recommend using dry shampoo or baby powder. 

    Promising review: "I had very LOW expectations for this. I accidentally cut my bangs too short the other night because my puppy distracted me mid-cut. I thought it would be funny to buy this and wear it one day. I got it for laughs mostly, not really expecting it to look normal. AND OMG I AM SHOCKED! First of all, it's the exact same shade as my hair color. It was super easy to put on. The hair feels soft and realistic. I am so beyond amazed. So far, no one has been able to tell that the bangs are fake! I love them!" —Nine

    FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy!

    Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.

    Promising review: "My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time; the tool is small), my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum, and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find, and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" —Amazon Customer
