From creamy under-eye concealer to a genius tool for cleaning cast iron pans, these reviewers actually made several points.

Promising review: "Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump... Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" —Rina

Here's what one of our BuzzFeed Shopping writers, 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: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

Promising review: "I had surgery, and it resulted in a keloid scar that created a big dent in my abdomen. I have used this scar tape for four months, and I cannot believe the difference! Within 2 weeks, the keloid bumps were down and it has gently pulled up the dented scar to make it flat. You wash it daily, usually right before I shower, then continue wearing the same piece for a week. It is cost-effective and works so well!! If you are on the fence about trying it, wait no longer. I cannot say enough good things about this product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Necessary tool to clean your cast iron pots and pans. Perfectly contoured to the rounded corners used by Lodge in their pans so you'll get any food stuck to your pan off easily. The plastic is sturdy and malleable but not so much that it will deform. Been using them for a couple months now, and I haven't had them break. And since I still can't get a properly seasoned coating on my pans, I have a lot of food that sticks (my fault), but these scrapers get pretty much everything off easily." —JGtz

Also, this is a MUST for all my fellow B&BW Vanilla Bean Noel stans. It smells super similar (actually, it's more caramel-y, so it's better) and absorbs SO quickly. I keep it by my sinks so I'm never without it — it's that good.

Promising review: "I could not have fallen more in love with this product! It smells AMAZING and not too strong. I have sensitive skin, and I’m sensitive to smell, and it doesn’t bother me on either front. I seriously want to buy a bottle of this for all of my friends. It makes you feel so soft, and the consistency is amazing. I wish I could give this 100 stars." —M

This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water.  

Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.07 (also available with a scrubbing sponge).

Promising reviews: "As a nurse, I find that these are the best pens I’ve used! They are exactly as described!" —Brandi L

"I love the matte texture of these pens. The fine tip also makes it easier to write smaller since a lot of gel pens write very thickly. Also the little ball barring in the clip is very entertaining to roll with your thumb. These would be great for people who want to have a fidget on hand without making it obvious." —Melody

Promising review: "I searched long and hard to try and find the best product for jock itch, and after being dissastified with most of what I've purchased, I could not be more satisfied with this product. I use it daily in the morning after taking a shower, and the results have been amazing. I don't write many reviews, but this stuff is magic and I had to share my opinion. You'll notice that the smallest amount of this product goes a long way, too." —Jeff H.

Puriya is a small business specializing in skincare and haircare products.

Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time that regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. I decided to try this pumice stone, figuring that the worst that could happen would be that it scratched the porcelain, and I'd have to replace the toilet. Which was what I would have had to do anyway if I couldn't get the disgusting stains out. The pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later, I had a new-looking bowl, and I saw no signs of scratching. I am very happy with this purchase...well worth the very low price!" —Happy Retiree

Promising review: "This eye cream is amazing! I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and I’m already seeing a difference. The cream is lightweight and smooth, not greasy at all. It absorbs quickly into the skin, so I don’t have to wait long before applying makeup or going to bed. It really helps with puffiness and dark circles. My under-eye area looks more refreshed, and the bags under my eyes have definitely reduced. It also feels really hydrating, which is a bonus. I love this eye cream! It works well for puffiness and bags and leaves my under-eyes looking brighter and smoother. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable, effective solution!" —J Ogilbee

This is the hidden gem in the drugstore concealer world! The name "serum concealer" drew me in — doesn't that sound super light and hydrating? Well, it is! It's a perfect sheer-to-medium coverage that's super easy to blend (especially with a Beauty Blender — I'm a BB truther when it comes to complexion products) and easy to build up to your perfect coverage level. I've been trying everything from Haus Labs to Natasha Denona to Kosas, and honestly, this NYX concealer has impressed me the most due to its super affordable price. Higher-end brands hold up slightly better during a full day (of the three I mentioned, Haus Labs is the best mix of long-lasting and smooth-looking), but this is so foolproof that I find myself reaching for it the most!

Promising review: "Hydrating, but excellent coverage. I have only used one other concealer before, and it was the Maybelline Fit Me. I use this to cover any blemishes that pop up (pimples, etc.). I like this application better because the pump is cleaner and does not make contact with my skin. I also really like the consistency, it feels more liquidy, but it applies thicker. It is moisturizing, but also has good coverage. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, so do start with a quarter pump first." —FYL

Remember to mix this concentrate with water before using!

Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe, after one use, the results of my calluses. Just years and years of pain shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1 million stars, I would. If you’re someone who’s had callused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" —jess

It's intensive stuff, so the brand recommends using this just once a week. But don't worry about over-drying your skin — the formula includes aloe and coconut oil to hydrate and soothe.

Promising review: "I've used foot mask booties in the past that take a few days to work and then your feet are peeling for days which is a bit unsightly. I bought this spray based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. A few spritzes and some gentle massaging with a non-abrasive foot file and the results were astounding. I can't believe how much skin came off and how smooth my feet are after no more than five minutes." —Brenda W.

Promising review: "As someone who owns multiple pairs of Birks, these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks but I couldn’t find the soft footbed version in them. I saw these and thought I might as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg, they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable, too! Great quality." —Lee

Get it from Amazon for $33.24+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and 20 colors).

Promising reviews: "I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I’m not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it’s a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don’t need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." —Blanca Perez

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

Promising review: "Since trying this product, I will never go back to anything else. For years, I’ve been using Better Than Sex by Too Faced, and I absolutely loved it. But as you know, it’s at a higher price point. I was looking for a cheaper option that worked the same, if not better. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this. For me... THIS WORKS BETTER! I’ve tried both the black and brown options as well as the waterproof options and [I'm] blown away by every one of them!! This is my new favorite mascara! Makes my lashes look like I had them professionally done." —chela1389

However, It's always a good idea to chat with your ENT before using any ear-cleaning products!

Promising review: "One of my ears was blocked by excess ear wax, which caused hearing issues. These drops helped me to soften and loosen the ear wax, allowing it to easily drain." —Skh

Promising review: "I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect – true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don’t dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." —Tzippy M

Perfect for travel or on-the-go touch-ups — no mess, no spills. The gentle formula leaves my skin clean and refreshed. The 20-count pack is super convenient. Highly recommend for quick, effective makeup removal anytime, anywhere!" —dsasd

Promising review: "I'm now at over three years with this toothbrush and it still looks and works like new. I use it in the shower, rinse it under water after every use, and use it two to three times a day. The only thing that is maybe suffering at this point is the battery (lasts about 1.5 weeks now), but I also only charge it when the red charging light comes on. If you leave it on the charger stand daily, this may never be an issue for you. This is truly a great product for the price, and I would recommend it to anyone. I had originally felt that if it lasted as long as my Sonicare, it would save me some money, but at this point, it has surpassed my Sonicare by 2+ years for a fraction of the price!" —Jesse

Plus, you can use this in SO many ways. Spray some on at the beginning of your skincare routine to help prep the skin, or spray it on after your makeup routine to set and prevent cakeiness. You can also spray it on all over if you need some quick head-to-toe moisture when you're in a hurry.

Promising review: "I wish I could rate this 100 stars. This stuff is INCREDIBLE... My skin instantly looks and feels hydrated, fresh, glowing, and comfortable. I am already on my third bottle of this; it is wonderful to incorporate into skincare as a first step, in between other products, as a setting/finishing spray for makeup, or throughout the day when your skin needs a little refresher. I wish they'd make a jumbo size of this (like, 10+ oz), because I would douse my entire body in this formula if I could." —bex–7

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so hand scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door ... everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

According to reviewers, this cream will add a slight bit of volume to thin, fine hair or enhance the waves in those with thick, curly hair.

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried so many curl products and this is my favorite even over high-end curl creams. I have really long wavy hair. This controls the frizz and leaves my hair soft and brushable. This isn’t texturizing and it doesn’t leave a sticky or tacky residue. Love this so much." —Amazon Customer

"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 rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610

Promising review: "I started using this oil on my hair after watching TikToks about it. They did not lie. This product works great! I have been using it for about a month now, and I have nothing but good things to say. I like to lather it on my scalp and let it sit for a couple of hours before showering... It has made my hair grow faster and stronger." —Alexis Jacobus

It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair-removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal

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 Lambertson

"My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin.

Promising review: "Holy moly, how did I never know that this existed?? This cleaner is nothing short of a miracle!! My backseat bench has been dirty with mystery stains now for at least a decade, stains that were created by little kids, various passengers, cargo, who knows. I tried EVERYTHING to get out the hazy, dirty staining on my charcoal-colored seats to no avail. Hot water and soap, alcohol-based rubs, carpet cleaners, fabric cleaners — literally EVERYTHING, plus lots of elbow grease. I grew frustrated and resigned that my car would look like a dump forever. Then I started doing some research and came upon this cleaner. Many reviews stated it was the best thing ever, car sites named it their top choice, etc. I decided it's worth a last-ditch try, and boy, I am so glad I did! It took four to five sprays, some minor agitating and rubbing with a broad brush, then wiped off with the enclosed cloth, and whaddaya know?? POOF! STAINS GONE! I simply can't believe how easy this was and how pain free. I will go tomorrow and clean ALL my car seats! I highly recommend this, it’s the bomb." —Manddun

Promising review: "My skin is *super* sensitive, but as I've aged (44 years), I feel like my pores have become more visible. I hadn't used an oil cleanser before and wasn't 100% sure how it should all work. The Anua oil cleanser works how we all once hoped Biore pore strips would work back in the day but without any pain or irritation. My skin is combination skin, so I have to be really careful about not drying out the dry spots (and getting eczema) and not over-hydrating the oily spots (and getting a breakout). I rub the oil on my face as the first part of my cleansing routine; I massage it in for ~60 seconds and then put a small amount of water on my fingers and begin rubbing that on my face. The water starts the emulsification process and helps to clean out everything the oil has bonded to/mixed with. Then, I just rinse it clean and use a gentle cleanser afterward. I haven't had any irritation, redness, or fallout from adding this product to my skincare routine. I love it. I am almost through my first bottle and if I go a few days without using the cleanser, my pores become more visible/dirty again. I will definitely keep purchasing the Anua oil cleanser." —Tassa
