1. A top-rated, alcohol-free oral rinse that reviewers swear does a much better job at keeping their breath fresh compared to all the other brands out there. It fights bad breath for up to 12 hours, and you know what that means?! You can give your partner a good morning kiss with confidence! Pour a capful, then swish and gargle for 30 seconds after you've finished brushing your teeth in the morning and at night.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher swears by this brand (especially the mint flavor ): "I've been using this mouthwash for years and it changed my morning routine for the better. Not only does it kick morning breath to the curb, but it also claims to help prevent gum disease. And I love the smell/taste — it's like you just bit into a peppermint patty.
" Promising review: "This product has been life changing for me! In my 30s, I started to get tonsil stones, which caused very very unpleasant breath. My husband and kids often reminded me how unpleasant it was. I tried brushing more often, flossing more, water picks, and using the standard alcohol based mouthwash twice a day.
None of that helped the issue. Finally I heard about TheraBreath and gave it a try. Problem solved! " I gargled the first night I got it, went to bed, and when I woke up, my husband and I could not believe there was no odor.
Both of us have been in shock at how amazing this product is. The odor is completely gone. I have been using it morning and night for over a month now and continue to have fresh breath with absolutely no odor.
I 1,000% recommend to anyone out there with similar issues." — Latoya Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint ).
And if you need more convincing, check out more rave reviews in our TheraBreath oral rinse deep dive. 2. And a stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue.
It'll help 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 have never written a product review before but oh my god I need everyone to know this tongue scraper is LIFE CHANGING! The past few months I’ve noticed a weird white/grayish look to my tongue. I didn’t think anything of it. I’ve also recently had bad breath, which I’ve tried everything to control.
I saw Dr. Tung's tongue cleaner in a BuzzFeed article and figured why not give it a try. Literally the first time I used it, I could see such a major difference.
Not to be too gross but like holy hell I could visibly witness all the gunk being removed from my tongue. It was so disgusting but also intriguing. I couldn’t look away.
The next morning I could tell that it worked. I had ZERO bad breath and my mouth wasn’t so dry. This product truly is life changing.
And so easy to use. You just hold the cleaner with either one hand or both and just gently scrape your tongue. It’s painless and super user friendly.
Definitely one of if not the best product I’ve ever purchased. 10/10 recommend." — Katelyn Foehner Get it from Amazon for $7.
70 (also available in multipacks). 3. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin.
Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.
Promising reviews: "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!" — Myshel Cagle "Using an oil-based cleanser in addition to a water-based cleanser is life changing .
My pores don't fill up with gunk now! Or rather, I have an effective method of cleaning them, so I never notice clogged pores the way I used to. It's so gentle on your skin, too. I absolutely love it and I'll be a lifelong customer.
I wish I'd had this as a teenager." — Brooke W Get it from Amazon for $17.69 (also available in a mild version).
4. And a stainless-steel skin spatula to gently scrape all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove.
For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! Promising review: "I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked.
Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it.
I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller "Life changing! I’m obsessed with this product! I’ve tried a lot of different extraction tools, even bought a different sucker type one several months ago that didn’t do anything. This is amazing and makes my skin so smooth after. Definitely make sure your skin is wet for extractions.
" — Darcey Bonnet Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 5.
A bestselling (and surprisingly inexpensive) argan oil hair mask because your locks deserve to look shinier and feel healthier. It'll revive and strengthen your weak, damaged hair — a "miracle in a jar," according to a reviewer who saw incredible results after just one use! Reviewers with hair ranging from 2a all the way to 4c love this product! Promising reviews: "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 "Life changing! Before I started using this hair mask once a week, I had to carry dryer sheets with me to help manage my static and frizz problems, but within one use, this product fixed it completely! Definitely recommend for frizzy or staticky hair!!" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $12.95 . 6.

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic .
Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in skincare and haircare made from naturally derived ingredients. Promising review: "This product was literally life changing for my daughter and me. At age 3 she suffered a very sudden and unexpected death of her grandfather.
She began to twisting her hair, which led to pulling it out. (According to her pediatrician this was normal for a child who suffered a traumatic experience.) The pulling then turned into a habit.
There was not a single spot on her head where you couldn’t see her scalp. I ordered this shampoo with little hope. The drastic change was amazing! We were not even halfway through our first bottle and her hair was thicker and new growth was visible not only to myself but to others as well ! We are on bottle #3 with no plans of stopping! We will forever be loyal customers to this blessing in a bottle!!" — Momof3 Get it in a value size from Amazon for $32.
95 (also available in smaller sizes). 7. And some Sevích hairline shadow if you have graying roots or thinning hair and want to cover 'em up a little.
It makes your hair appear thicker so it'll look ~au naturel~. Plus, the puff applicator lets you target specific areas more easily and accurately than a spray. It's also cruelty-free and contains nontoxic plant fibers and beeswax, so it's safe to use on your scalp and skin! Promising review: "This product has changed my life.
I'm a woman with thinning hair at the front and on top. My part keeps getting wider and wider, and even though I part it differently all the time, my hair is just noticeably thin. It has made me very self-conscious.
My hairdresser used a spray product on me that worked well when SHE applied it, but I had trouble getting a spray to go exactly where needed. Then I discovered this product. There were others that looked similar, but they were all much more expensive, so I decided to try this one.
It works miracles! "There's a little applicator sponge that screws in to the bottom of the container (and is hidden when not in use). One swipe of the powder is enough to do my entire part. It camouflages perfectly so that I look like I have a normal part (instead of the wide shiny part I've had for a while now).
It's so easy that anyone could use it, and there are no mistakes. You can't tell that anything is in my hair, it just does its job. I've also used it to touch up the area around the front of my hair line, so that it doesn't look as thin .
I think it's designed to cover gray, and I can't speak to how it would work on that. But if you have thinning hair, this is what you need!" — CatToy Get it from Amazon for $9.24+ (available in 12 shades).
8. Bacteria-killing retainer-cleaning tablets because no amount of brushing can get rid of the odors or discoloration caused by years of buildup. Just drop your retainer, mouthguards, or Invisalign trays into a warm glass of water along with one of these tablets, and all those smells and gunk? GONE.
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned.
I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! They had a fresh taste and were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner.
I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh.
If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have. " — Lisa R. "Where has this been all my life?!? All the years scraping my retainer with my toothbrush.
Now I just pop this in a glass with my retainer and it’s sparking clean at night. Life changing!" — Natalie norman Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $16.98 .
9. The Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence , a cult-favorite for good reason: It soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness, and it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! Don't worry, no snails were harmed in its making (so Gary, you're safe). Promising reviews : "I’m in my 40s and have spent SO much money on skincare in the past few years and have finally found my holy grail.
It felt moisturizing (I live in a hot tropical climate and most true moisturizers leave my face looking oily), cleared up my nose breakouts, evened out texture, kept oil under control, and even made my blackheads WAY less prominent. It has a gooey, almost sticky consistency that spreads very smoothly over the face and dries to nothing. I use it before applying my retinoid at night and add a layer after.
In the morning, I use it before sunscreen ( Australian Gold ) and don’t need to wear makeup anymore! Believe the hype!" — kaya "Life changing! I recently added this to my daily routine and I can swear by it. It’s very lightweight, which feels very satisfying to put on my skin and it gets absorbed relatively quickly, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. It works well to even skin tone and prevent blemishes.
This is definitely a must have!" — Emad Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 10.

I started with 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 "Life changing for dry cuticles.

Cleanup on aisle, um, you? Awkward Essentials is a small biz! Promising review: "Life changing. This is truly an awkward ESSENTIAL — and I don’t say that lightly. I used to have such an issue with leaking on the bed, the carpet, the bathroom floor, and it made a time that was meant to be fun a headache and disaster.
This little sponge is not only comfortable and discreet but fixed all my issues so I can enjoy a post-spicy adventure cuddle. 1000000/10." — The Buons Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.

Plus, it has a heavenly scent of pomegranate and raspberry. And for less than $6? How could you not want this??? Promising reviews : "I found this on TikTok and decided to try. I have sensitive skin, and after using this, I had no razor bumps! It’s weird because it doesn’t get sudsy and foamy like regular shaving cream, but this is much more moisturizing and smells great! Will definitely be using from now on.
" — Luis "Life changing. I had used this years ago and couldn't remember what it was called. I have searched everywhere and pretty much had given up on finding it again.
I tried so many different products and none compared. I am so happy I found this again! It's like putting lotion on my skin; it feels so smooth and hydrating. I'm sensitive to smells and this has a light appealing fragrance.
I use it on my most sensitive areas with great results. I can't recommend this enough." — MasterTech Get it from Amazon for $5.
99 . 13. A bestselling pack of Mighty Patches so you can tackle that pesky pimple head-on.
These discreet patches help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them while the hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside — so they can actually heal faster! They're great for daytime or overnight use. BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic ! Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch .
Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strips, and more! Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger, I got acne when I was in my 20s and I have no self control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab because I pick it all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING.
They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out, even if I pop a zit and wash my face, but these on, it’ll continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly I’m in love with these.
When I first heard of acne patches I thought, 'I’ll never pay money to make a zit go away,' but these are affordable and affective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum and it’s healed that one quick for me too!!" — chipper2 Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $11.
97 . 14. An O'Keeffe's Lip Repair sleeping mask , brought to you by the same company behind the magical Working Hands cream — let me just say, this also works wonders.
If your lips are extremely dry or cracked, just leave this deep-conditioning balm on overnight and wake up to a gorgeous, luscious pout. Promising review: "This is a life changing product! I ordered this product as a last ditch attempt to heal my very chapped lips. My lips were peeling, rough, chapped and felt like they were on fire.
My go to products were no longer working. I have never had such severely chapped lips before and nothing seemed to fix them. I tried the O'Keeffe's Lip Repair before bed and the next morning my lips were much smoother and no longer felt like they were burning.
Within two days my lips were totally back to normal. I will continue to use this product for maintenance. My lips haven't been this soft in years, and they look plumper and more conditioned.
I highly recommend this amazing product!" — Robert Bolton Get it from Amazon for $7.42 (also available in a two-pack). 15.

..festivities, and you need those red eyes to clear up ASAP.
Plus, these results can last for up to eight hours! Promising review: "I can't remember the last time I wrote a product review but I feel compelled to do so for Lumify. My eyes are constantly red. I have been to eye doctors, taken prescription eye drops, tried every eye drop on the market, spent hours searching the internet for relief and alas, the redness remained.
My chronic red eyes have been a source of embarrassment for many years with people routinely pointing out how tired I look or questioning if I'm high. I would be too self conscious at times to even hold eye contact!! I tried these drops, looked in the mirror..
.and I swear I heard the strumming of a harp from an angel. Life changing.
It's been 7 hours since I tried the drops and I've been working on the computer and driving in bright sunlight. My eyes are still white!!! Like, unhumanly white. It's amazing!!!!!!!" — HaileyC Get it from Amazon for $11.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this stuff: "This is my all-time fave, never-be-without night cream, and I always make sure to keep at least one extra jar on hand because it's sometimes sold out!" Promising review: "Let me start by saying I have VERY sensitive skin.
I cannot use any product on my face without having a breakout. I have been trying to find a moisturizer for a while now that I truly like and haven’t found one until now! Right away, it improved my skin texture and reduced the dry spots. It did not break my face out and did not feel greasy.
After about 2 weeks my skin was looking better than ever and had reduced some fine lines. I will never use anything else. If you have sensitive skin and are looking for some moisturizer, then try this product.
The price is also great. The regular daytime cream comes in a lot larger tub than the night cream and will last much longer, but I bought both and use as directed. This product was life changing for my sensitive dry skin! " — Kaylea LaRae Get it from Amazon for $17.

All I had to do was screw a tip on the hose and it was ready to go. Per the directions, I used water just above body temp. (I actually mixed in some hydrogen peroxide.

Promising review: "I noticed these blotting papers were seriously good when I used two on my bf's face — he has very oily skin and two papers got rid of all the grease on his face for like five hours! I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but usually when I use a blotting paper on him, it only lasts for minutes and his face is greasy again, so these things are life changing! I started using them too, and it really helps to not mess up your makeup .

Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino , an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. Promising review: "I first discovered Megababe maybe 4 summers ago and my life was forever changed.
As a proud, card-carrying member of the Thick Thighs Society, I dreaded summer and the thought of wearing shorts and skirts so much that I often suffered through the hottest days in jeans, and wouldn’t think of wearing a dress without bike shorts underneath. I tried using stick deodorant/antiperspirant on my inner thighs, which would help temporarily but was never enough. Enter Thigh Rescue.
.. thank you for finally making summers slightly more bearable, I seriously want to cry.
I can comfortably wear shorts, spend time at the beach, wear skirts and dresses, etc without be dreaded and painful ‘chub rub’ (I hate that term, but what are you gonna do). "It goes on so smoothly and has a pleasant, light scent. I always keep a stick in my bag with me in case I need to reapply (which sometimes I do), but seriously, trust me.
Life. CHANGING. I have found that this is also really helpful for me when wearing leggings while hiking / working out — I tend to get chafing and irritation around my bikini line from the seams of leggings.
.. not anymore with Thigh Rescue! If you’re curvy and haven’t tried this or their whole line of products yet, run — don’t walk.

This massager changed my life!

I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant , and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief.

Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right? Promising review: "Life changing! Gone are the days of getting a pedicure and having them go to town on your dead skin.
I tried these first thanks to my mother who recommended them and couldn’t believe how well they worked! They’re easy to use (pro tip - put a sock on while you’re wearing them to keep them in place) and they do exactly as they say. The week after I used them, I forgot about it and went on with my life. The week after that is when I started finding literal chunks of skin in my socks!! It’s honestly gross how much comes off but my feet were left incredibly soft and beautiful!! I wouldn’t recommend doing this in the summer unless you won’t be in public the week of “shedding” because your skin will be falling out of your sandals" — Kelly N.

A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads because your warts are now affecting your day-to-day and you need to get rid of them ASAP. These pads have extra cushioning so you won't feel any discomfort, and reviewers love how fast it works! Promising reviews: "Life changing. I spent hundreds of dollars for a wart on my finger that was slowly ruining my life.
I got these little $8 bandages and it came off in one week, never to be seen or heard of again. It is the best thing I have ever bought." — Alexandra cruz "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger.
I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! I bought the invisible strips, and they removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there !" — Audrey N. Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.
29+ (available in three styles). 31. A dermatologist-recommended antiperspirant hand lotion if your hands constantly sweat and make everyday tasks quite difficult.
Just rub a pea-sized amount into your palms, and you'll be able to open jars and shake hands once again! Promising review: " In over a decade of purchases, I’ve never left a review. This product has earned my first. Like so many others in these reviews, I have had dripping hands and feet for almost 40 years.
I’ve kept paper towels in my pockets, worn absorbent pants I could blot my hands on before shaking hands at meetings, ruined shoes, not been able to hold hands on a date. It wasn’t until my youngest child came to me to tell me about his embarrassment with his own hyperhidrosis challenges that I really sat down and looked for a solution. After reading reviews, I decided to try Carpe.
"I was totally skeptical but began using it three times a day as soon as I got it, as did my son. By the end of day one, we were both astounded at how well it works. My son said that he was amazed at how he felt all the indications that his hands were going to start sweating, but then didn’t.
And I went through an entire summer day without any soggy hands. We’ve been using it for over a week now and I am thrilled at how I can shake hands with confidence, type on my laptop in a meeting without leaving sweat on the keyboard, drive my car without having to dry my hands in the vents. Saying that it’s life changing may sound dramatic.
..but it’s life changing.

32. A Korean exfoliating mitt to buff all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes.
And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok ! Promising review: " As a lifelong eczema sufferer, these are life changing . Using the included instructions, waiting until after a shower and my skin was damp - I started rubbing. Wow! The dead skin was just rolling off, absolutely unreal.
I scrubbed my arms/legs so much that my arms were tired. Over the next few weeks I found an even better and quicker way to use them. I simply get the glove damp and start rubbing a dry area on my body.
After a minute or two it will start exfoliating just as above. This is unreal that is works this quickly, no need to shower or soak in a bath or anything. Fantastic product.
Highly recommended!" — Ghozt Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a pair). 33.
Base Labs keloid minimizer that helps reduce and heal those pesky lil' (or, in some cases, big) bumps that decided to grow in with your new piercing. 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: "I don’t know what kind of magic is in this bottle but it’s AMAZING!!!! Literally life changing, and almost overnight!!!! I pierced my mid-helix with my 7-year-old daughter who was getting her ears pierced for the first time. So this piercing is special.
I was becoming devastated because I was at the verge of having to remove it. It was always inflamed, the skin was trying to grow over the backside of my earring. I also had a huge piercing bump/possible keloid on the front of the piercing.
(Even though I never touched it and took great care of my piercing.) Buying this was my last resort. And after the FIRST DAY, I noticed it not as inflamed.
Two weeks later, I have ZERO irritation, the skin has relaxed and hasn’t tried to grow over the backside and also, the bump/keloid is COMPLETELY GONE!!!!! I am in shock. This stuff is liquid gold!!!!" — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks).
