1. A pack of teeth-whitening pens to get rid of coffee and wine stains for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth. It even makes application as easy as saying CHEESE!
Promising review: “I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth-whitening pen is terrific. Easy to use, works well and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it.” —Rebecca Shehee

2. A coconut oil-rich leave-in cream you let air dry for perfectly smooth and hydrated curls!
Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while my waves resemble curls but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant so I was skeptical but after about 15 minutes I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror and I was amazed. It looked styled. I slept on it and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
Get it from Amazon for $6.62.
3. A paraben- and fragrance-free CeraVe hydrating cleanser made with hyaluronic acid and ceramides so when you go to remove dirt and makeup from your face, you're also moisturizing your skin!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I spent so much money on expensive face wash and face creams and nothing worked like this. I always had breakouts on my chin and redness. No matter what products I used, it didn't fix my problem. I bought this cleanser two weeks ago and used every day. I noticed my redness and pimples clearing up in three days! It leaves my skin smooth, healthy, and clear. I just order another bottle in case they sell out. CeraVe, please never discontinue this product. I can't thank you enough for making me have confidence again 💕💕💕" —Adriana
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

5. A vegan and paraben-free self-tanner if you simply don't have the time to lay in the sun to get the glow you deserve. Get the tan of your dreams in just an hour!
Promising review: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quick, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies even, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 16 shades).
6. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: "Wow, OK, so this is the coolest thing ever (y'know, as far as cleaning goes). It's super easy to use and works SO well! I've only ever used DIY methods to clean my disposal and just assumed it was working. I decided to buy this because I noticed that flies were starting to hover around my sink. So glad I did! After using this, I saw something silver in my drain that caught my eye and omg, it was my garbage disposal. I've lived in this apartment for three years and legit didn't know it was silver down there — and I clean it regularly! Absolutely incredible. Let me tell you, that sink was sparkling. Highly recommend." —Lindsay S.
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
7. A curly hair children's leave-in detangling conditioner made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil to make wash day for your little one waaaay easier.
Promising reviews: "This has been a life saver for thick, somewhat fine, curly hair that tangles and elicits the screams of a banshee when brushed with a wet brush and any other detangling product or oil. We've tried at least six different ones, including making our own with coconut oil/grapeseed oil/conditioner, which just resulted in oily tangles. This spray is now on our subscriptions and all our kids ask for me to use it." —happyshopper
“Why didn’t I buy this sooner? Tamed my kid's frizzy curly hair and gave him the most beautiful ringlets.” —Lindsay
Get it from Amazon for $8.69.
8. A hydrating leave-in conditioning spray because it's made using argan oil, shea butter, and jojoba proteins. It's formulated to get rid of knots, tangles, and flyaways, so you can expect to have a good hair day every day.
Promising review: "I was very skeptical at first but was quickly impressed with how much easier this product made my hair to brush tangles out of. I use it on my wet hair after I shower. I have thick, straight hair that is past my shoulder blades. After having gotten a balayage, my hair gets super tangled and is drier now after my showers, even with conditioner. This helped add a light extra conditioning to my hair as well as help detangle my wet hair, allowing me to quickly brush my hair without pulling more hair out." —TeamDavidAndSarah
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
9. An eco-friendly oven scrub cleaner for tackling all the caked-on messes you've learned to ignore. It's made with natural ingredients (including pumice stone and baking soda), so you'll get your oven back without all the toxic fumes.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great!" —Melissa C.
"This cleaner exceeded my expectations! I have the nastiest oven and thought it would never be clean due to all the baked on grease. But this amazing oven scrub took it all away!" —kahernandez75
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99+ (available in a plastic or glass container and three scents).
10. A CeraVe body wash with salicylic acid and ceramides that'll help you deal with any "chicken skin" flare ups. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling moisturized!
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 $13.29.
11. A set of color-coded Scrub Daddy sponges because they're magically scratch-free *and* tough on water stains and caked-on messes. Your kitchen, bathroom, and every room in between won't know what hit 'it.
Promising review: "I LOVE them! They remove food off of dishes more easily than a sponge, and I can just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out spotless! They never smell and always rinse out nicely between washings. These little gems even take off hard water buildup from my shower doors!" —DivaGranny
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.95.

12. A bottle of natural nail and cuticle repair oil for softening cuticles and strengthening your nails when used daily.
Promising review: "It's a miracle! I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. A friend recommended a nail strengthener they saw on QVC. It was quite pricey and I wanted to make sure it was worth it so I read the reviews. One of the comments said just buy Solar Oil. Since it was much more affordable than the QVC stuff, I tried it. I bought it in February. This bottle size lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $8.50.
13. Eco-friendly, lemon-scented toilet bombs to get a clean that'll impress your eyes and nose. And because they're not made with any chemicals, your eyes and nose will also be thanking you.

14. A skin-repairing body oil chock-full of natural oils that'll help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Its skin-renewal formula should help get rid of acne scars, surgery scars, and so much more!
Just make sure to use sunscreen with this since it can make you a bit more sensitive to the sun.
Promising review: "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it as a 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 the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in five sizes).
15. A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm with SPF 25 so you can heal your lips as you protect them! It's also rich with antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea!
Promising review: "This is the best lip repair ever! My lips were so chapped I was beside myself and nothing was working! This stuff did the trick and I just ordered another tube to keep on hand." —Joanne Romero
Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in seven flavors and in packs of three).
16. A bottle of bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
17. A revitalizing hair protein treatment to condition and repair dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. TBH I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good, I have really missed my hair's soft texture. This treatment works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking. When I woke up, my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product! I have long, fine hair, but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $7.90.
18. Or an antioxidant-rich deep-conditioning hair mask if your hair is, metaphorically speaking, on its last legs. Your dull and frizzy hair will get the reparative treatment it deserves and you will get vibrant and healthy locks!
Briogeo is a Black woman–owned beauty brand offering a high-performance haircare collection that is naturally based and performance driven to provide visible results for all hair types.
Promising review: "This deep conditioner has been awesome for my dry, chemical-treated hair. I first tried it as a sample at Sephora and actually left it in my hair overnight (put it on dry hair, not wet) because my hair was so thirsty, and it made my hair so soft and strong. This product seems to actually strengthen hair and not just coat it like some other products. My hair stays soft and thick for several days so I can go longer between washes." —Lissiegirl
Get it from Briogeo on Amazon for $38+ (available in two sizes).
19. A long-lasting heat protectant spray that'll help keep flyaways away and frizz at bay when you straighten and curl your hair. It also conditions your hair as it seals in shine!
Promising review: “It smells great and actually makes my hair straighter. I used this product two days ago on dry hair before straightening with a flat iron and today my hair is just as straight and shiny. I mean REALLY shiny.” —HiderSeeker
Get it from Amazon for $3.39.
20. A pack of stain removal pads to get rid of those pesky pet stains by simply setting the pad down and stepping on it. No scrubbing needed! They'll lift away even the most set-in stains!
Promising review: “These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward.” —Lisa Koivu
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.48.
21. Hydrocolloid acne patches for times when you feel a pimple coming on. Apply one of these overnight and wake up to find that your acne gunk has been absorbed by the patch.
Promising review: “I'm obsessed with these things!!! Im an esthetician, however, being in my twenties and having raging hormones has challenged my skin a lot. These are so fast-acting and have saved me a lot of time and money. It's perfect for those deep under-the-skin pimples as well, but it does take a few extra days. I will continue to repurchase!” —julia raye todd
Get 36 patches from Amazon for $12.99.
22. A travel-sized antiseptic and pain relief spray so you're prepared for the inevitable bumps and scrapes your little one endures while away from home.
Promising review: "I will buy this again. My daughter is willing to use this one as she doesn't feel pain when I put it on." –Sophia
"This is the perfect travel item to throw in my diaper bag. With a rambunctious toddler, I can always use some Neosporin on the go!" —Kelsey Marciano
Get it from Amazon for $6.56+ (available in three sizes).
23. A CeraVe moisturizing cream that parents laud for helping clear up their kids' eczema in addition to moisturizing their dry and sensitive skin.
Promising review: "CeraVe was recommended to us by our daughter's pediatrician to help with her eczema. While she still has eczema, this cream is fantastic with keeping her skin smooth and keeping her irritation at bay. She no longer has the red bumps or splotchy red spots on her skin and rarely has flare-ups anymore! We use CeraVe every night after bath time and not only does it keep our baby's skin smooth, but it keeps Mama's hands silky smooth as well! During our first vacation, we made the decision to bring several sample lotions of different brands and we found they just were not the same. We highly recommend this baby cream!" —TheGummyMummy
Get it from Amazon for $9.32+ (available in two sizes).
24. An allergy supplement to help your itchy pup stop scratching due to skin, seasonal, or environmental allergens. They're also rich with vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics said to support digestion and immunity.
Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats...he eats these every time, so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation
Get them from Amazon for $26.07+ (available in four flavors and two sizes).
25. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!
Promising review: “It’s a miracle in a bottle. My dog 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 extra cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes arounds singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets.” —L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $12.17+ (available in multiple pack sizes).
26. A powerful Drano gel clog remover that'll dissolve clogs and pipe buildup so you can shower without standing in a lake of dirty water.
Promising review: “My toilet was hopelessly clogged, and plunging made the bathroom sink bubble. So, I poured this product into the sink to get at the common pipe. Within seconds, the toilet flowed free. So, I bought a second bottle of this product now to keep in reserve. I plan to use it as a preventive agent to clear drains reliably before they get badly clogged. Even if they do get a bad clog, this stuff saves me the huge bill a plumber would write. Best un-clogger I've ever used.” —Moira Whitlock
Get it from Amazon for $6.
27. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these nontoxic cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.
Promising reviews: "I never realized how gross my Keurig was until I used this. It’s much easier to use than white vinegar too because there is no lingering smell or taste. I will absolutely buy these again." —Anikka L. Gillispie
“I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!” —Corey West
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
28. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that'll remove new (or old) dirt, blood, oil, and cosmetics stains from your clothes, carpets, and more! A bit of klutz? Then you'll wanna add this hypoallergenic spray to your toolkit.
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long presoak (I mean like six hours) in OxiClean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).
29. An Essence mascara if you're looking for bold and intense lashes even *you* will think came from falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please!
Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews of products but this one is worth it!!! I loooove it! For the price, it is the best mascara I have ever used, hands-down! My lashes are short and very light-colored. This stuff lasts all day, doesn’t smudge, and is reasonably easy to remove with makeup remover. My new fave mascara for sure!!!" —Amazon Customer

30. A natural paw butter made from oatmeal, shea butter, and aloe vera to soothe your pup's dried and cracked lil' feet. It'll also work on your pet's cracked nose!
Promising review: “One of my puppers is a super-athlete who lives to go for walks and on runs. She is about nine now and the vet gave her a stellar bill of health save one thing: her pads were getting really rough and worn from paved trails and city walks and this may be uncomfortable, especially as summer comes and pavement heats up. I was skeptical about any kind of balm as I figured that it would leave a mess on my floors or one/both dogs would just lick it off their feet. No problems whatsoever, and after a single application, both dogs' pads are really soft and supple. Hopefully the dogs can feel the difference. I can surely see it and feel it. Also, the balm smells like oatmeal cookies, so bonus for that.” —LRL
Get it from Amazon for $9.45.
31. A vegan Blume acne oil made with clean ingredients that'll help fight off new outbreaks as well as reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Cofounded by two sisters, Blume is a BIPOC woman–owned skincare company creating natural products to help promote healthy skin for people who experience periods.

“This product is solid gold!!! Way better than I could have imagined. Started cleaning my skin up after the first use.” —Julie H
Get it from Blume for $33.
32. A jet tub cleaner scientifically engineered to get all the yuck from soap and body oil buildup out of your tub in 15 minutes!
Promising review: "Wow, I thought I was cleaning my jetted tub by running a tub full of hot water with a cup of bleach in it. But, after running it for the recommended time with the recommended amount of this stuff, I was disgusted, pleased, shocked, you name it, at the look of the water and what came out of the jets. EW!! I'll be using this once a month from now on. This product is well worth the money and time it takes to use. I will definitely be buying this again." —D.J. Taylor
