31 Over-Achieving Products Reviewers Say They’ll Use “Forever”

1. A garbage guard if you’ve ever opened your trash can and were welcomed by a host of pests. These not only kill insects, but they also prevent future infestations. And don’t worry, it’s completely odorless (though I can’t say that about your trash).

Promising review: “We had flies everywhere: outside, in the house, in the garage. But primarily in our outdoor trash cans! Consistently had maggots on trash day. So gross. I bought these and thoroughly washed the inside of our trash can before installing them, and our fly problem has been gone since. No reappearance. Amazing! I will forever keep this product stocked in my garage.” —Brooke Williams

Get it from Amazon for $9.84.

2. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all of life’s little messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!

Promising review: “I was blown away by how it took stains out that I had tried for months to remove. I’m a forever user!!” —tiffmmc

Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

3. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that’ll help remove dark spots and fine lines. Several reviewers wrote that this gave them that “glass skin” look!

Promising review: “I saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical but decided to go ahead and give it a shot. I’ll be 42 this month, and I’ve noticed small fine lines starting to show around my eyes. I’m in total awe of the improvement I already see in my skin. My pores appear smaller, my fine lines seem to be fading, and I had a nurse at the hospital tell me that I’m glowing. All skepticism is gone. I will be using this product forever!” —Ieti Teo

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

4. A pair of reusable nipple pasties for those warm weather ‘fits you just don’t wanna wear an uncomfortable bra with (an extra layer is just extra heat). These have thin edges that don’t appear under clothing and they use a medical-grade adhesive that’s gentle on skin.

Promising review: “So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn’t believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever.” —Marisa

Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes and five shades).

5. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion made with tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts. You may truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby’s bottom.

Promising review: “I have honestly tried everything to clear my butt acne up. I have always felt so ugly and ashamed to be in bathing suits or lingerie. And within a week it started clearing up. Within two weeks, all of my acne is completely gone. I hope this product never leaves the market because I will be a forever customer.” —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $22.99

6. A pet hair remover so good you might not recognize your couch after just one use! And because it doesn’t use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and… It might even pick up hair that your vacuum can’t.

Promising review: “I had pillows, cushions, and a couch that was covered in cat hair from my cats sleeping on them, and the hair was removed in seconds. Seriously, I love this product, and if this ever breaks, I will continue to buy it forever. Thinking of giving this as a gift to all of my friends and family with pets. If you have ever struggled or have put off cleaning up pet hair because you didn’t have the right tools or nothing worked, buy this now!!! This has made cleaning pet hair enjoyable and not something that I put off. I’m no longer afraid to have people come over and sit on my furniture and worry whether or not they will leave with a hairy butt! It’s like I don’t have pets at all!!” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).

7. A splurge-worthy reparative K18 leave-in hair mask with biotech-powered peptides if you need help with damage caused by bleach, color, or heat.

Promising review: “LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I have long, thick, dyed hair, and this is a MUST! I’ve been using this product 3x a week for a month and see such a difference. It really helped to repair my ends, which was my concern. This will forever be in my haircare routine!” —Angela315

Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes).

8. Or a more inexpensive in-shower hair protein treatment that some reviewers swear is just as good. It’s designed to condition and repair dry, damaged, and over-processed hair in just 5–20 minutes. TBH I’m already obsessed with your hair evolution!

Promising review: “I saw this product mentioned in so many articles about cheap products that are great. I don’t know what took me so long to purchase this, but I am kicking myself for waiting!! My hair is DAMAGED. Beyond fried. I’ve bleached it so many times. I am consistently changing my hair color, and while the semi-permanent dyes don’t hurt it, the bleach sure does! My hair always feels like straw. My hair looks and feels INCREDIBLE!!! It is so soft and I am just absolutely in love! This will forever be used by me from now on!” —Krystle

Get it from Amazon for $7.40.

9. A rejuvenating eye cream because its vegan ingredients absorb quickly into the skin to help start the process of brightening and lifting your under-eye area. Perpetual late nights got nothing on this cream!

LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.

Promising review: “I have searched high and far for an eye cream that does this much! I have sensitive skin, but I also have dark circles and wrinkles. This eye cream feels so good and actually works! I feel like my wrinkles have significantly decreased, and my under-eye circles have diminished extensively. I will keep buying this product forever!!” —Rebecca

Get it from LilyAna Naturals on Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes).

10. A jetted tub cleaner scientifically engineered to get all the yuck from soap and body oil buildup out of your tub’s jets in 15 minutes!

Promising review: “Holy crap, this stuff works, and the name speaks for itself. I’m a big cleaner, and I always clean my jetted tub after every use. We rent our house and when we moved in, I used bleach to clean out the lines. Recently, though, I noticed a bit of mold in the jets, so I snagged this. As soon as the water hit the first jet I started to see ‘sludge’ come out and start to clump. As it reached higher, I was mortified. Once I turned the jets ON, dear lord, it was over. I wanted to throw up. This stuff WORKS, and I will forever buy it until I no longer have a jet tub.” —Charlie

Get it from Amazon for $18.73.

11. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don’t risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher’s performance. Because if a dishwasher can’t properly wash dishes…it’s essentially just a wet cabinet.

Promising review: “We have well water, and my dishwasher had very bad hard water stains. Used one tablet and couldn’t believe it! I used a second one the next week, and it was even better! This is one product that I’m glad I tried and will keep using forever!” —Tasha Marie Hupp

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99.

Promising reviews: “This smells soooo good. Hydrates the skin. Keeps my skin so soft. I found my forever lotion.” —ayesha chino

“Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin.” —Jaquelin g.

Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in eight scents).

13. A bottle of 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 absolutely hate cleaning my shower. I’d rather clean my toilet 10 times than blow my back out cleaning my shower once. Prior to this I was using drill brushes and a suite of different chemicals, which still managed to be highly labor intensive and never got my shower truly ‘clean.’ This stuff gets it shiny, and I’ll be using this forever.” —Jake

Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two scents).

Promising reviews: “I have been using it for about 3 months now, and I have the best hair of my life. I use it with the rice water conditioner. I LOVE the smell. I wish the whole world smelled like this shampoo. It lathers great and rinses easily and completely. The first time I used it, my husband said, ‘Ooo, your hair is so shiny.’ My forever shampoo.” —Nathan Long

16. Soft chew allergy supplements that’ll help your itchy pup stop scratching due to skin, seasonal, or environmental allergy issues. They’re also rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics to support digestion and immunity.

Promising review: “I bought these out of desperation. Our pup has seasonal allergies where she gets a belly rash, gunky eyes, the works. Poor thing is allergic to everything outside, it seems, but she loves to run in the grass! After 30 days of one snack a day (she’s only 35 pounds), her belly rash is completely gone, she’s not itchy, and her eyes are clear! We will be buying these forever!” —CH

This paste has got you covered, from your caked-on stovetop to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!

Promising review: “A house I manage had an ongoing slow leak in the toilet that had gone on for several months. Our water is very hard, and horrible hard water stains had built up over time that looked black and disgusting. Nothing would get the toilet clean, and so with nothing to lose (other than this toilet for a new one!), I ordered The Pink Stuff from Amazon. I was amazed at how easy it was to use, basically zero smell. With a little bit of elbow grease, the toilet looked BRAND NEW in less than 15 minutes of cleaning! Surprise, I barely used any of the product; a little bit goes a long way!!! I’ll be keeping The Pink Stuff in my cleaning kit forever!!!” —Annie willow

Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

18. A bacteria-killing denture cleaner to remove any odors and discoloration caused by buildup. This also works on retainers, mouthguards, and Invisalign.

Promising review: “I was using Efferdent to soak my clear retainers, but I always still had to scrub them because it would leave a film, and I don’t think it killed any germs because they would turn yellow as well. So I’m very happy I gave this brand a try because it’s amazing. After just one use, my retainer was clear and looked brand new again! No scrubbing needed! I just pop one in the cup with my retainer and add a little warm water, and they are ready to go again that night, sparkling clean! Definitely recommend this product and will be using it forever!” —Tara Beth

Promising review: “I was skeptical at first, but after one use, I’m a believer. I had moved into an apartment where both the toilet tanks had what looked like black mold, mineral deposits, and rust. Every time we flushed the toilet, you could smell mold. I had tried multiple products, even draining the tank and trying to scrub it. Nothing worked. After one treatment, only half a bottle per tank, and the tank is pristine, white as can be. All of the mold, rust stains, and minerals are gone. I will continue to buy this product forever! Literally, you pour half a bottle in, stir, wait eight hours, and presto!!!!” —AD

Promising review: “I only wish I had found these sooner. I put one on, cleaned my house, drank a smoothie, and then, after six hours, I brushed my teeth and went to bed. It was still completely intact when I woke up. Life-changing stuff. I love these and will use them forever.” —Chelsea

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $11.19.

21. A curly hair children’s leave-in detangling conditioner made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil, so wash day for your little one is waaaay easier.

Promising review: “I have been struggling with my toddler’s super curly hair. (my hair is hopelessly straight). Bathtime hair-brushing led to meltdown-level screaming no matter how gentle I tried to be, y’all. It was constantly super tangled in the back where he shifted on his pillow at night. This spray at night before bed and occasionally as a refresh in the morning has COMPLETELY changed his hair. There’s no more fight to brush his hair at bath time! I just wish it were available in bulk because I will be buying this spray forever. It even helps my preteen’s wavy hair; she’s obsessed with it, too.” —LDacy

Promising review: “It’s great! I was shocked at the quality, given the price. I really like how I can use just a bit of product.

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

Here’s what BuzzFeed Shopping 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: “Excellent toothbrush. I will buy forever.” —Cary Alf

Promising review: “This is the only thing that has ever really gotten rid of my dandruff. I am so glad I discovered this product! I followed some advice I read in another review, and it worked great: Since this shampoo doesn’t really lather up, it can be hard to distribute through your hair, so I put about a quarter size of whatever other shampoo I have in the shower in my hand, then mix in a pea size amount of the Nizoral. This way, it gets evenly distributed, and you get that lather that makes you feel clean. I will continue to use this shampoo forever.” —luxadrianicus

Get it from Amazon for $15.88.

30. shoe stretch spray to soften and stretch tight-fitting shoes as you walk in them. Or, use the spray then stick a wooden shoe stretcher in so you don’t have to wear them. Either way, stop going through the pain of breaking in leather boots.

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review (#46) for more information!

Promising review: “I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been if I didn’t have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, put beer cans inside of them, and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks, layovers) and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed, too. It could have ended up a nightmare, but it didn’t! My boots still have a little ways to go to be fully broken in, but definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever.” —lauren

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

31. An extreme hold tinted eyebrow gel that’ll not only help you create the perfect brow shape but also help you keep that shape for up to 16 hours. This flake-resistant brow mascara offers a natural look you’ll be glad you can get every single day.

Promising review: “I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great, and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder, nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product.” —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $8.80+ (available in five shades).
