It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." — Michaella Leyein, A benzene-free I Dew Care dry shampoo, which basically banishes the evidence of oil and sweat from your roots, bringing some volume back to your flat 'do.

No time to shower, no problem — just add a dash of this and say "limp hair, begone!" 🪄 Get it from Amazon for $11.70+ (available in five shades, packs of two, and as refills).Read more about how biotin can help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

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, Mighty Patches, a holy grail skincare essential folks keep on hand for those unexpected zits that like to pop up riiiight before a big event. These hydrocolloid patches draw out the gunk overnight, protecting it from irritation and helping speed up the healing process! The results are equal parts gnarly and satisfying. Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a pack of 72). These are thin enough that you can wear them during the day without them being too obvious, but they also make an Invisible+ Patch if you prefer! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review: "These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C., AmazonPlus, a pack of nose pore patches that won't pull at and irritate your skin like those charcoal strips, but instead gently draw out and absorb oil, helping reduce the appearance of breakouts and pores overnight. And if you still doubt the power of hydrocolloid or you're worried the results won't be as satisfying, just scroll through the reviewer images to see all the gunk they've gotten out. 👀 Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.88.

They plant a tree for each order and have sent some proceeds to Restore NYC since 2016. Promising review: "It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer, O'Keeffe's Lip Repair because sometimes our go-to lippies are no match for the intense dryness we experience this time of year.

I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams, Some wart-removing pads that have been reviewers' Hail Mary for those persistent lil' troopers that the duct tape method, freezing, and even professional removal can't keep off.

Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $8.99. Promising review: "I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" — K Pic, An exfoliating skincare mitt so you can literally see the satisfying bits of dead skin scrubbed off your body, helping improve skin texture in a way that using a loofah or washcloth alone never could.

I have had tiny, dry-skin bumps on my arms and thighs since I was a child and have never been able to get rid of them. I have tried so many scrubs and moisturizers that failed. I came across this product, and it's now on my subscribe and save list. There are TONS of exfoliants in the scrub, so it's super effective. Skin feels so soft after using it because it gets ALL of the dry and dead skin cells completely off. I have bought this for friends as a gift and would highly recommend it to anyone." — Doug KohlensteinA bottle of Bio-Oil with over 138,000 5-star ratings (yuppp!) because it's seriously that good at helping tackle all those body things you're buying different creams and serums for.

Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in three sizes).Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this? I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for weeks.... this stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson, Some tiny dermaplaning razors, because who has time to pluck out every itty bitty eyebrow and 'stache hair (or the strength to wax it all off...)?
