    Just 32 Products Reviewers Say Have Changed Their Life

    Let these products change your life, too.

    1. A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches if you need help preventing yourself from picking/popping your pimples, which could lead to scarring. These ultra-thin, translucent patches will absorb pimple pus (yuck) to reveal calmer-looking skin (yay).

    Promising reviews: "Hydrocolloid patches have really changed my life. Pop one on overnight and it sucks out a lot of the nasty stuff without even drying out your skin." —Renee Lanza

    “These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won’t come to a head. I’ve tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple days of wearing the patches. But it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.” —snowmentality

    2. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic "flossing toothbrushes" with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums.

    A toothbrush with two layers of bristles, one long and thin and one shorter and thicker
    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

    Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! 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." 

    Promising review: "Since switching to these toothbrushes, my dental appointments have been a breeze. My teeth are cleaner, my gums are healthier than they've ever been, and my dentist wanted to know my secret. And I told him and his staff about these magical toothbrushes! Thank you for creating such a life-changing product that I am 100% sold on!" —Cricket Windsong

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in five color combinations).

    Promising reviews: "This electric toothbrush has changed my life. I was worried the vibrations would be too abrasive, but they are nice and gentle while still being effective. Invest in your dental health and buy this toothbrush!" —Natasha Simone

    “I have always used a manual toothbrush but my dentist recommended this so I gave it a try. I have been using it for a few months now and my teeth are whiter and cleaner.” —claudia 

    Get it from Amazon for $49.94+ (available in three colors).

    Promising review: "This has changed my life. I get up in the morning and ask Alexa the news and the weather. Done! Then as I am cooking I ask Alexa to set a timer! Then as my hands are dirty I ask Alexa to add eggs and milk to the shopping list! I go to the store and the Alexa shopping list is on my phone. Life is so much easier!!!! I would feel lost without this convenience!!" —Jan Thomas

    Promising reviews: "I have combination skin depending on the weather. This scrub has changed my life! I use it every other day and it softens my skin." —Lauren B

    "My new favorite scrub! It's gentler than others that I've tried, but I think that makes it better. The soft seaweed exfoliates nicely. Most scrubs make my face look very red and irritated after using but this one doesn't. I do think it brightens, too. I use it two or three times a week and I think my skin tone is evening out very nicely. Not too drying, either! Kind of moisturizing, in fact, which is great with a scrub." —Megan S

    "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95.

I have never once had a liner with a leak and I really feel like Reynolds has helped make kitchen cleanup so much easier with this smart product." —Katie B.

    Promising review: "The only sleep aid that has actually helped. I love these gummies! I take two and within 30 minutes I am yawning and ready for bed, and I'm usually asleep within another 15 minutes. Standard melatonin tablets didn’t help, and if I take nothing then I’m dealing with my mind wandering for an hour before finally getting some restless sleep. These gummies have literally changed my life. Very grateful." —Aubrey Olson

    Promising review: "This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It’s great. You won’t be disappointed." —Amazon Customer

I will be using this ALL of the time in the kitchen now. Used it tonight for potato soup — it diced 10 potatoes and an onion in two minutes, I timed it! Me dicing those potatoes would’ve easily taken 10 minutes. Don’t question it, just buy it. Worth every penny!!" —Lauren Jones

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    Promising reviews: "I recently lost my edges due to low iron and braiding. I wanted to try something to grow my hair back. Within two months I noticed a change in my edges. My hairline is fuller. This is a MUST-buy. My edges were very thin and braiding them made it worse. But using this changed my hairline life." —Missy

    "This is my fifth bottle of his hair oil and it is my favorite thing! I have fine blonde hair that’s oily after a day, two if I’m lucky. I was really worried that when I started using oil that it would be impossible to get it out of my hair, but this washes right out with about two scrubs with regular shampoo. My hair is definitely growing and it’s incredibly soft after I use this oil." —Taylor & Holly

    Get it from Amazon for $8.97.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I HATED cleaning my oven because it was a such a pain. When the food that was stuck to the bottom would start to burn, then I would force myself to clean it. I would watch my husband cook pizza directly on the rack with NOTHING underneath and it would drive me bonkers knowing that I would have to clean the oven soon. Not anymore! These liners keep the bottom of my oven totally clean. And if something does drop, cleanup is so easy! I've used another one in my toaster oven with the same results. So glad I was introduced to these oven liners. They really are life-changing!" —Amazon Customer

    “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

    Promising reviews: "This stuff is life-changing. I'll never use another cleaner." —Reese A Maloney

    "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelly
