    32 Cheap Products Reviewers Say They Couldn't Believe Actually Worked

    Watch as your skepticism melts away.

    1. A cute lil' octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away excess sebum and exfoliate your pores. It'll help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and whatever else is trapped in your clogged pores.

    Promising review: "I tried this after reading all to positive comments in reviews. It really works. I am 48 years old and have large pores, especially on my nose and cheeks. I take a steamy shower, wash face, massage the octopus on target areas. Upon arrival, I did it every day for three days, whole face, which was too much but I was so excited with the results. It clears blackheads and I still can't believe it works. My skin was a bit sensitive like after a microderm treatment but only for a day or so after that rigorous cleaning. Now, I just touch up areas once a week or so. It leaves your skin super soft and it smells good too. Plus, it is so cute and easy to find in my drawer of makeup! My new little friend!" —Bobbie

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    2. A self-watering, self-aerating high-drainage planter so even if you confuse whether irises or succulents need more water, you're still in the clear.

    3. An eight-second, lamellar rinse-out treatment from L'Oreal for shinier, healthier, and silkier hair in, well, eight seconds.

    4. Glisten garbage disposal cleaner — it'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.

    5. A pair of comfy blue light–blocking glasses designed to help reduce eye strain, fatigue, and headaches. Because if we're not gonna stop staring at screens, we might as well feel like professional hackers on an Ocean's Eleven-type mission.

    6. A concentrated allergen spray will help reduce the presence of airborne and surface allergens from pets, mites, and more. Because no one should feel like they're allergic to their own home.

    7. A wine wand designed to help remove histamines and sulfites, which may reduce those pesky post-Malbec headaches.

    8. A nail polish holder because giving yourself a manicure shouldn't make you feel like a kindergartener accidentally coloring outside of the lines. Just pop this on two of your fingers, and you'll have sturdy and dependable access to your nail polish.

    9. An ergonomically designed scalp massager that'll help soothe psoriasis, ease itchiness, and provide soothing sensations during your shower.

    12. A hair thinner and cutter so you can shape your hair in between salon visits...or when you're bored and have fallen into an asymmetrical-bob-based YouTube hole.

    13. A pair of silicone grips if your glasses hurt your ears or slip n side all day long.

    Promising review: "My daughter has a cat, one of those old cranky cats that stares deep into your soul. This cat has always hated me. He proved this all the more when I finally bought new furniture! How exciting right? It was, until Mr. Kitty decided to pee all over the cushion I sit on! It smelled so bad. I sprayed the area generously and left it sit there for the afternoon. In the evening I put towels over the wet area to absorb the excess. I woke up this morning and seriously could not believe my nose! It doesn’t smell like cat pee at all. Like not even a little." —Mamabear

    Promising review: "I have been fighting bumps on the back of my upper arms for years and my dermatologist recommended this body wash and the lotion. She said that many of her patients have had a positive result with this combo instead of using a pricey prescription medication, and I couldn't believe how fast the bumps went away!
