46 Problem-Solving Personal Care Products You’ll Want To Throw Your Money At

“Shut up and take my money” —you to this TikTok-beloved “wake up” eye gel, migraine relief beanie, and deep exfoliating back scrubber.

1. A redness-reducing Snail Bee High Content Essence so hydrating and soothing that reviewers notice a difference in their skin’s tone and texture after just one use. If you’re looking for something that will help your foundation ~glide~ on and really lock in the rest of your skincare routine, with is the all-around MVP you’re looking for. 

Note: this formula includes small traces of bee venom, so patch test before use! 

Promising review: “I have only been using this product for a day and a half, and it zapped the redness from my skin! I tried on some foundation the other day and noticed a wild amount of texture, redness peeping through under primer, and general crustiness and was like, ‘I gotta do something about this!’ I started my new skin routine about a week ago and just felt something was missing. This Benton Snail Bee was added to my existing routine, and wow, did I get some results quickly! I’ll absolutely be exploring more moisturizing products from Benton to add to my routine.” —Apple S. 

Get it from Amazon for $15.30. 

2. A sensitive gum-friendly “flossing toothbrush” with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how effectively it takes care of yellow spots between teeth!  

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

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

I’ve had one of these for awhile and I love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, 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. I’ve switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. 

Promising review: “This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning.” —Amy N.

3. Catrice “Instant Awake” Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet’s holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone’s old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. 

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 

4. And Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It’s basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! 

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: “I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products.” —Hayden Smith

5. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that thousands of reviewers swear by for helping restore their hair and promote healthy hair growth over time.

Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. 

Promising review: “I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It’s longer and thicker than ever.” —Diane J. Huff

Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

6. A no-mess fungal nail renewal treatment so the next time you play “this little piggy” with your toes, it’s not the fungal remix edition. This tried-and-trusted treatment starts working in as fast as 48 hours to help improve fungal damage and discoloration. 

This product has the APMA Seal of Acceptance!

Promising review: “I’ve been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I’ve been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked ’til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It’s pretty much gone and it’s been less than two months. Buy it and don’t think about it! You won’t regret it!” —itslilac

Get it from Amazon for $17 (also available with a file).

Amazon

Promising review: “Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again.” —AJ

8. A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is “too many.” Nothing like a lil’ self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. 

I’m a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn’t quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they’re usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! 

Promising review: “Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation and they definitely felt good on our feet!” —KS2018

9. Lottabody’s Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse designed for all hair types to give you satisfyingly hydrated, volumized, frizz-free curls at a FRACTION of the price of its competitors. Take THAT, humidity!!!! 

Promising review: “I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue.”Marissa 

Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 

10. Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner reviewers going for the “glass skin” look swear by — this underrated but impactful toner helps calm and refresh your complexion by balancing your skin’s pH level and helping it better absorb all your lovely skincare products. 

Promising review: “This toner is hyped for a reason — it’s the best. It works extremely well for sensitive skin, and it leaves my skin soft and moisturized. The redness on my face have completely vanished after using this toner.” —Aurelia

Get it from Amazon for $19

11. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it’s the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes and dry eye relief, with visible differences within a minute of use. 

Promising review: “I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I’ve used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness.” —Angela Leonard

Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 

12. Medicube’s “Zero Pore” Pads, which are dual-textured toner pads made with lactic and salicylic acid to exfoliate and refine your pores. The excess sebum oil in your face just met its worst enemy in this cult-fave Korean skincare product. 😈 

Promising review: “I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily and it’s been a couple of weeks and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value and I’ll definity be repurchasing these.” —Ee El

Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles). 

13. And Mighty Patch Nose Patches for overnight use to help kick “nose gunk” to the curb — this extra-large hydrocolloid patch helps lift sebum to reduce the appearance of pimples, pores, and oil. You can even see all the satisfyingly gross evidence for yourself when you pull it off in the a.m. 👀. 

Promising review: “These things work! I’ve been dealing with bad breakouts recently and could not figure out what was causing them. I was recommended to try these, and let me tell you, the stuff that came out of my pores is unreal. I’ve tried charcoal face masks, and nothing has worked as well as these. My face is finally clearing up.” —Hannah Braswell  

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $16.55

14. A pack of super thin hydrocolloid cold sore healing patches to help speed up healing and relieve some of the itch and “ouch!” of a breakout as fast as possible. 

Promising review: “I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It’s been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers.” —Jessica Hill

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $11.19 (also available in a 20-pack). 

15. CeraVe’s Hydrating cleanser made with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin — aka, all the good stuff to hydrate your face and remove makeup and oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Psst — a lot of reviewers with sensitive skin and acne swear by this, because it’s super gentle *and* super effective.

I SWEAR by this facial cleanser. I used to be pretty acne-prone and have dry spots on my skin, but after I switched to this (which I follow up with the snail mucin essence in the evenings), my skin lost that rough “bumpy” texture from the tiny acne clusters and stayed suuuper hydrated. It’s a heck of a lot easier to put my makeup on now, because my skin isn’t randomly crusty or overly-moisturized. It also just feels really good on my skin! 

Promising review: “Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It’s been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It’s been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!” —L. Ashburne

Get it from Amazon for $15.48.

16. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years’ worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth.

Promising review: “I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market, but this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!” —Victoria Bravo

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.26 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page for this price). 

17. A foot file that’ll remove calluses and hard or cracked skin from your feet with some gentle, pain-free rubbing. It works whether your feet are dry or wet at the time, and will leave your heels feeling gloriously soft.

Promising review: “I don’t typically write reviews, I’m lazy! I usually write them if something is really great or really bad. Well, this product is really great!! It offered me instant relief with ease!” —Brooklynn

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

18. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care’s dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your “no wash” days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀. 

Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. 

Promising review: “Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I’ve tried that actually works! I am so very happy!” —Katie_0_Baker

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in multiple styles and packs). 

19. E.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Lip Mask for anyone who wants to go TURBO on ensuring they lock in enough moisture for the perfect pout. This silky, hyaluronic acid-infused formula is designed not to stick, so it plays nice with other lip products at all times of the day. 

Promising review: “If I could give this lip mask 100 stars, I would. What is there not to love about this product? It’s beyond moisturizing and quite soft as you put it on, like butter. The scent has me perplexed, not sure that’s the correct word to use. I know that scent, it reminds me of something from the ’70s or ’80s. The scent takes me back, but to where I do not know. AAAA++++, it’s a must-buy!” —Stina

Get it from Amazon for $7

20. The cult-fave CeraVe Skin Renewing night cream made with a rockstar blend of niacinamide, peptide complex, and hyaluronic acid to give you the softest, most hydrated skin of your human life, per THOUSANDS of happy reviewers and TikTokers singing its praises.

Promising review: “Yes yes yes! I recently found CeraVe due to dermatologist reviews on TikTok and I am not disappointed! I’ve always had oily, acne-prone skin and Cerave has shown me it was also super sensitive. These products are so gentle but work very well. I am still going through the purge (getting rid of all the gross stuff that was under the skin) but can already tell a big difference in my skin texture.” —Alicia Reid

Get it from Amazon for $17.44

21. saline nasal gel to help soothe your poor, dry nostrils that are 10000% done with the fluctuating temperatures. You can apply one to two drops directly around your nostrils for instant relief from the discomfort, including soothing aloe to moisturize the area. 

Amazon

Promising review: “I don’t like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell.” —Catherine

Get it from Amazon for $3.62.

First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. 

Promising review: “I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok, and I figured I’d give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried multiple things, so I didn’t have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use it 1–2 times a week, but I use it usually every other day, and I use Cerave rough and bumpy lotion after, and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life-changing, and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!” —Sydney

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes). 

24. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising review: “Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!” —BB

Promising review: “These bra extenders are so easy to use and the best invention ever! I can’t believe I’m in my 50s and just finding these! They have saved me and my girls for sure! I don’t need to go up in size but I needed an extra eyelet worth of room! Very comfortable! I’d highly recommend! Thank you!” —Ally McCoy

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in 20 set varieties).

26. Joesoef’s pharmaceutical-grade anti-acne sulfur soap that people with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and clogged pores swear by for helping clear their skin and relieve the tenderness. A lot of reviewers noted that they found this specific product after their dermatologists recommended it to them! 

Joesoef Skin Care is a small business that specializes in anti-acne skincare products. 

Promising review: “I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren’t blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize.” —Sandy G

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in multipacks). 

27. A deep exfoliating shower back scrubber so soothing and effective that it won’t be long before all your friends are like, “Wow, remember when they talked about something other than how squeaky clean their back feels?” A lot of reviewers with dry skin and keratosis pilaris swear by this for relief!

Promising review: “I used this back scrubber the day after it arrived, and I love it. Finally, I have an easy-to-use and more effective way to scrub my back. I saw the dead skin fall to the shower floor. Wow! And it easily rinsed cleaned, too.” —Naomi M. 

Get it from Amazon for $18.79

28. SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray, designed to target bacteria that causes acne and blemishes *without* drying your skin.

Check out a TikTok of the SkinSmart Facial Spray in action. 

Promising review: “I have ordered this twice now. If my skin is breaking out I just spray this on after washing my face and let it air dry. It is nonirritating and nondrying. It has a light chlorine smell to me. I can use both morning and night with no irritation. After a few days of this my skin starts clearing up! I put some in a travel spray bottle and take it when I’m flying. My skin always feels dirty on planes, and I spray it on a few times on travel days to freshen my face and hopefully kill some bacteria. It sprays over makeup with no issues.” —SaraSmile11

29. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you can apply between your thighs or under your bra to avoid all that skin irritation in ~hot spots~.

Amazon

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

I swear by this to the point where if I can’t find it in the morning of a run, I just won’t go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I’m wearing, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going “OW OW OW” in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging.

Psst — you should definitely “patch test” this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don’t have any reaction! 

Promising review: “Was pretty skeptical. Bought it and it’s changed my life. First use and I did not sweat, at all, for probably a week. I had already been using Lume deodorant for a few years now and was looking for something else as I felt I’m building a resistance to it. I should’ve been using this to begin with. Second application I applied to other areas of my body, zero sweat. Amazed.” —Hanna L. Hetz

Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamines! Makes a great gift. Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so.” —KellyH

Get it from Amazon for $18.27.

34. A pack of drug-free Breathe Right nasal strips reviewers quite literally claim “saved their marriage” — these provide instant snoring *and* congestion relief by increasing nasal airflow. Bonus: there’s an optional “scratch and sniff” lavender scent if you want an extra dose of calm. 

Promising review: “This product is a true gem. I’m eight months pregnant, and due to the baby pressing on my diaphragm, I’ve begun to snore terribly. My poor husband is a light sleeper, so I needed to figure something out. I started applying this at night, and he says he doesn’t hear a peep out of me! If you have trouble sleeping or snoring, this is something you need.” —Raevyn

Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Promising review: “These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially carsickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So, I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. I have suffered for decades, and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!” —1SmartCookie

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.35.

36. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that a lot of reviewers bought to prevent bad breath, but ended up loving even *more* because it made their mouth feel so squeaky clean (and, in a lot of cases, made their taste buds experience flavor a lot more intensely!).

Basic Concepts is a small business that specializes in personal care products, home goods, and office essentials. 

Promising review: “My husband and I have been using this product for a couple months now and we both think it is worth the purchase. It is not a magic fixer for bad breath or lack of oral hygiene but paired with a good dental hygiene routine we have noticed a positive difference such as fresher breath for longer and fresher breath upon waking in the morning. It is easy to clean, and the shape prevents gagging. All in all the product is definitely worth it.” —Brimichelle

Get it from Amazon for $8.99

37. Compound W Wart Removal Pads infused with concentrated wart removal medication to reduce the size and eliminate warts in a matter of days. A lot of reviewers turned to these after professional wart removals didn’t work for them and saw much better results! 

You should change the pads every 48 hours, and note that they do not work on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, genital warts, or facial warts. The brand notes that you should not use this product if you have diabetes or poor blood circulation.

Promising review: “These work amazingly well! I had taken my daughter to the dermatologist and paid a hefty amount for them to burn a wart off of her arm. It didn’t get rid of it; they only made it smaller, and they recommended a follow-up appointment. Then I found these! She wore one overnight, and literally the next day, it was smaller to almost nothing. Looked just like a small scar. Now it’s completely gone after wearing it only two times. One time overnight and the next day. That’s all! I will never try any other treatment for warts except for this!” —Cole Hagele

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29.

38. An oral rinse made with a mild mint flavor that packs a powerful punch — this formula fights bad breath for a full 24 hours and can combat those sour, bitter, and metallic tastes you can sometimes get in your mouth.

Promising review: “TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without, stating all-day freshness. It’s true, I cannot believe it. The taste isn’t strong. It does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day, no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine.” —Zac

A set of reviewer-beloved “Loops,” a meticulously designed ear plug that blocks out distracting, irritating, or overwhelming noise without completely blocking out the world around you, meaning you can wear them to focus at the office or at home without seeming antisocial. (Especially since these are so subtle that nobody will notice them!)

Promising review: “I struggle with anxiety and ADHD, and I find myself frequently sensitive to sounds. Things were especially difficult with the kids at home working on school while I was trying to work from home. Not only have these been fabulous throughout the day, but holy cow, are they a lifesaver at night! My husband snores, and I have tried many pairs of earplugs, sleep masks with little speakers in them… the list goes on. These loops are extremely comfortable to sleep in. They cut the sounds of the snores down to manageable and sleep-able level without cutting off all sound.” —Christina

40. A back pain relief gel pack you can wear hot *or* cold that a lot of reviewers swear by for relief with lower back, sciatic, coccyx, and tailbone pain (plus just plain old “I’ve been sitting in this chair to WFH all day” pain to boot).

Each of these comes equipped with two gel packs so you can alternate between hot and cold whenever you need! 

Promising review: “This was perfect for my sore back. It comes with two inserts. That is nice because I was able to keep one in the fridge and the other to warm up in the microwave. The belt they go in works great for lower back pain. I could wear it at work when my back was bad.” —Brandie Collins

43. piercing bump solution made with jojoba, grape seed, and rose that’ll help speed over the healing process over the course of a few weeks, so your new piercings can ~dazzle~ everyone in their full glory. 

Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: “This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side.” —Jordan Caprigno

Promising review: “I have an overlapping toe and a bunion that just started to form on one foot. I use the YogaToes daily for 15–30 minutes to help create space between the toes and relax the feet. I love how my feet feel when I take them off and start walking around. My feet feel stronger and more relaxed. I am a fitness instructor and also teach yoga. I use them before class for a few minutes. They help me feel more grounded as I move.” —Deirdre Sherman

Promising review: “Life-changing on a long trip! My partner wanted us to drive from Colorado to California. I wanted to fly because I had a fall, and half of my body was in pain.

Promising review: “RUN to buy this, I repeat… RUN. I bought one of these about two years ago and it’s STILL going strong. Aquaphor is amazing, we all know that. Buuut the convenience of having it in a tube is life changing. It truly is as easy as one, two, three. It can easily be applied to anything you could possibly need. I’ve used it on brand new tattoos, dry/chapped skin (hands, feet, legs, lips etc.) and the edge of my hair line to protect my skin from hair dye!” —Tara Fossa
