This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!

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. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan C.

Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt's Bees should pay me. It rubs into the skin like lotion so you don't feel greasy and you can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it's minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother. I don't burn easily and love this product; my husband is as fair as they come and it's his favorite sunburn solution as well. Highly recommend!" —Jessie P.

Promising review: "Best product ever! It's made my cleaning easier. Just spray it and leave overnight and in the morning rinse it well with water. I scrub the tiles sometimes for a shinier look and sometimes I just spray it two or three hours before cleaning and don't need to leave it overnight. It's an amazing product, I've been using it for about a month and my faucets are shinier than ever. I love this product." —Maisha A.

Get it from Amazon for $20.08+ (available in two scents and refill packs).

This shampoo formula is cruelty-free and vegan!

Promising review: "After thorough, intensive scrubbing with dish soap, I thought I'd done an ok job on my brushes. FALSE! THIS! This magical, Hogwarts-crafted solution put any soap to shame. Minimal effort, incredible results. I had no idea my brushes could go back to their original color. Best purchase ever." —AC

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

Dudeeee, there's nothing I hate more than cleaning my makeup brushes. I honestly would rather throw away all of my brushes and buy new ones than to clean them. Save yourself all that dreadful cleaning time and just check this thing out besties.

Promising review: "I gotta admit, I was skeptical. There are items just like this on the market that are triple the price. My makeup brushes have two years worth of caked-on crap, so I thought, no way this $16 gem would work. WRONG!!! I am actually shocked at how well this thing worked. I did have to go back through and scrub by hand but it's not this cleaner's fault — two years of left-on makeup is my fault. I cannot believe that my foundation brush is white again like the day I bought it and not just a soft beige from washing it by hand. BUY THIS CONTRAPTION — it's amazing." —sumnerls

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Moved into our first home, which had some rough problems to tackle due to years and years of hard water and rust. One problem in particular was the forever stained shower. I tried several different products with no or very little success. In fact by the time I picked this stuff up, I was pretty skeptical that anything would help our situation. When I bought it (first time in spray form) I actually sprayed two passive streaks on the shower wall and immediately walked out. A few hours passed and I went to go to the bathroom and was absolutely floored to find, no kidding, two very white streaks where the spray had been. I’ve uploaded the before and after photos of the shower as proof (see them above!). Since, I’ve used both spray and powder forms for many cleaning tasks." —Sarah K.

Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz that specializes in products for the pubic zone(s) that treat ingrown hairs, dark spots, and razor burn.

Pstttt! Those results in the pics (above) were achieved by using this with the scrub!

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman uses this to stay smooth after shaving and saysss:

"I received a sample of this lovely stuff, and I have already seen a difference in how my bikini line looks after shaving! I always struggle with razor bumps in the down-there area specifically, but this oil helps keep it soft, smooth, and bump free! The brand recommends applying it right after getting out of the shower, and you can even use it to spot-treat ingrown hairs. I'm pretty ~scent~sitive to smells, and the tea tree scent is really lovely and refreshing (it smells like a spa)! I also love the pump-style dispenser, so I don't make a greasy mess every time I use it — which, from now on, is gonna be pretty much all the time. I'm sooo excited to wear swimsuits this summer without all the bumps and irritation!"

Get it from Amazon for $26.

Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes — a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." —Sarbello

Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like wild. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new houseplant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

The kit includes a 40W high-power roll on wax warmer, two boxes of wax (honey and lavender scented), six packs of calming oil wipes, and 100 non-woven wax strips.

Promising reviews: "Worked like magic! The pain is not bad at all!! Worth your money in my opinion! (:" —Elizabeth

"I’ve spent TONS of money and time going to spas and nail salons trying to find the perfect wax. After doing some research, I came across this bad boy and let me tell you, I am NEVER going back! It's so easy to use, and also so convenient. They send enough product to thoroughly try everything out. I also love that they send two scents, so you can find which one you love the most. The wax strips are sturdy enough to undergo the pressure you apply before pulling it off, as well as the actual pull. They get everything underneath and you can even use a single strip multiple times. No need to fly through the pack of strips anymore, when you can reuse the single strip a few times! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re always busy, and on the go, or just wanting some extra self care in the comfort of your home. 💕" —Alisa G.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

Promising review: "These tongue cleaners are definitely stainless steel! You can tell how great the quality is just by holding it in your hand. I use this on my tongue, and I’ve noticed an incredible difference. My tongue feels clean, and the gunk is gone. It sort of grips the tongue which helps grab any left over debris. Be sure to use it over the sink as the debris and saliva will definitely slide off your tongue. To clean, simply rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry! I deal with a lot of dry mouth, especially since I use a CPAP machine to sleep at night. This tool is incredible at getting that bad bacteria off the tongue that shows a white cast and also creates sulfur compounds, which makes your breath stink!!" —GreyElt

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in six pack options).

You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more. Sooooo easy to use, just drop one of these tablets in some warm tap water with your retainer and *voila* this stuff does all the work.

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! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished 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.

Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $23.60.

Promising review: "When I ordered this product, I admit, I didn't think it would work. I have adult acne and visit a dermatologist regularly, my chin area is especially bad. I used one the first night I received them. It's acne sorcery. I honestly could not believe it worked. Pimple gone overnight and a flat surface remained. I do not know how they get this pimple magic to work but I am sold and have literally texted all the people in my life. It's complete magic! Do it, I promise you will be shocked!" —Heather L.

Get a 36-pack of the small patches from Amazon for $11.97.

This kit includes a 28-oz. ceramic cooktop cleaner, a scraper, 10 cleaning pads, and a bottle of 2-oz. burnt-on grease remover.

Promising review: "This product is amazing!!! I cannot believe what it took off our stovetop! We bought a house and the electric stove was left and I had tried everything to get it looking new and clean, EVERYTHING. I'd seen this on TikTok and figured I’d give it a shot and WOW am I glad I did. Hello new clean stove." —Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.03 (available in two styles).

This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve the appearance, anddddd reduce discoloration and thickness leaving you with some dramatic results. IDK about you, but I'm totally here for the drama in this case.

Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot

Get it from Amazon for $16.98.

cmPromising review: "I have purchased this three times in the color Sienna, and it is perfect! It's totally worth all the hype on TikTok. This is a very emollient powder that sticks to the skin. I prep with sunscreen then use this. The fragrance dissipates quickly. I noticed the actual powder is bouncy to the touch. I have not used the sponge it comes with, I like to use a powder brush. It gives me full coverage, and I look flawless all day. I also don't need to blot and I am very oily. I will certainly continue to repurchase. This is the best powder I have tried since Mac Studio Fix." —Maria W.

Get it from Amazon for $10.75 (available in 20 shades).

Simply use soap on the sponge to lather up baby's head, then loosen flakes on baby's scalp by gently massaging (in circular motions) their head with the brush. Next, lift flakes off with the fine-tooth comb and ta-daaaa! Your babe is flake-free!

Promising review: "A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone and it does wonders on the scalp and keeping the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." —LM01

Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "So useful! Thought I’d never be able to clear my drain after using gallons and gallons of Drano (which add up). But these took out the hair that was clogging my shower for months within a minute! Such easy use and definitely would recommend this to anyone who needs it." —Cal

Get a four pack from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two lengths).

Promising reviews: "Not gonna lie, I was skeptical that this could help me. A few months ago I decided I could bleach my hair and I burnt it to such a crisp. I’ve literally been wearing it up under a cap and that worked when it was winter but now it's warm so I needed a solution. I saw this product highly recommended on other sites and the reviews were good. I ordered a tube, used it twice now, and OH. MY. LANTA. For months my hair had felt like crunchy noodles ready to snap at a moment's notice and after one treatment (left in about 15 minutes after shampoo before conditioner) my ends felt soft!! After using it a second time my hair now actually moves like it's not damaged and it is visibly SO much healthier. Like seriously, I don't know how they bottled witchcraft but I’m going to continue to use this product even when my hair grows out. An absolute magical miracle potion! I seriously prepared myself to explain to the world that it doesn't work but instead I have the healthiest hair I’ve had since being an idiot home hairdresser. 10/10 for less than $10. Picture from left to right (above left): my hair before using this, my hair after first treatment, my hair after second treatment." —Beth

"I was skeptical. I’ll admit it. I wasn't sure this would work on my 4c hair but it made my hair so soft! And I didn't need to use a tremendous amount of product. It made it easy to comb out and blow dry my hair. It even made it smoother after the flat iron. You can't beat it for the price." —Niki D.

Promising review: "I was pretty skeptical. I read about how much pesticide can be on produce so I thought I'd try a fruit spray to see if it did anything... I could not believe how clean it got my blueberries. I tried to wash the other fruit with just water and could not get the wax off. Strong work Arm & Hammer, strong work. It didn't mess up the taste of my blueberries." —N. Shah

You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips.

Promising reviews: "I loved this stuff, it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" —Alexandra

"I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Thank God It's Natural is a Black woman-owned small biz based in Chicago, Illinois that specializes in hair products.

Promising reviews: "My scalp felt invigorated after applying. I left the masque on overnight and when I rinsed the next morning my scalp felt refreshed and clean. I actually think this product also aided in elongating my curls. Hair looks hydrated as well! I plan to use every two weeks." —Dawn M.

"I didn't expect much from this mask, but was pleasantly surprised. I used it as directed after shampooing with a clarifying shampoo and my hair is soft and smooth. It calmed the frizz so much that I didn't even need a styling product!" —HumanPerson

Promising review: "So I had a spot on my dash that I wanted to clean and grabbed this stuff because I figured my car could use some TLC over the years. Well, I went to clean one small part and ended up almost detailing the entire inside of both front and back driver and passenger side doors. It worked so well, so fast, and smelled so good that I couldn't stop. My car looks brand-new!" —Michael

This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners.

Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in safe, nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning products.

Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This was even better than expected. It is thin, which makes it easy to work with and looks more authentic. I tried other wood grain contact paper and it looked cheap. This is a whole damn makeover and I am happy. I still have some leftover if I want to cover other things or redo parts if I want. Peels off with no residue. Easy to fix placement or change mind." —Robyn F.

Just soak it in water for 20 minutes and place it in your sugar to soften and maintain moisture for approximately three to six months.

Promising review: "I was nervous to try them in case they were a waste of money. Yesterday, I followed the directions, i.e. soaked them in water for 20 minutes, then plopped one each in containers of hard-as-concrete dark brown sugar and one of light brown sugar. I didn't dry them, just dropped them in on top. So today, I took the containers down and looked, and each container of formerly concrete-hard sugar was easy to measure out, no lumps, it's a miracle!" —NGS

Promising review: "I purchased this for my mother who makes corn tamales. She's always hurting herself cutting the corn off the cob with a knife and I wanted to help make it easier. This is officially her favorite kitchen appliance. 🤣 No more cuts 🙏 less time spent in the kitchen and lots more tamales. I recommend this item!! P.S. she shaves down about 40/50 cobs of corn every other day." —Joselyn M.

This also comes with a claw clip and two scrunchies. So, I bet you're thinking *how does this baby work?* Start with slightly damp hair. Position the curling rod to the middle of your head and secure it with the claw clip then begin to braid one side and wind it around the curler. Once you get the end of your hair, wind it with scrunchies and do the same on the other side. Take it out the next morning and enjoy your voluminous, gorgeous curls!

Promising review: "I had seen this on TikTok and was interested. Two of my friends got it and showed me their results so I just had to do it. I washed my hair and only put my spray product in, waited til it dried to damp, and wrapped it up. I was surprised how comfortable it was to sleep with in and the curls were just amazing. This is my second time using it and the curls hold well! Highly recommend! —Lauren

Promising review: "Yes, TikTok made me buy it. But let me tell you...I've bought it again and again. Every few months I use this and there's no substitute. I tried a different brand once, I found it at DSW and the results were not the same. Anyway, if there's any chance I'll be in sandals, barefoot, or going to get a massage, I will use this to be sure no one has to see my nasty heels. The peeling process is kind of gross, yes, but it's got to go somewhere. Plus, be patient...let it peel naturally, with a little help each day by soaking your feet in water for a few minutes, as recommended, and then gently rubbing your feet. Absolutely love it." —Laurie

Blume is a women-owned, POC-owned small business based in Canada that specializes in cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally-friendly products for skin, body, and period care.

I finally got my hands on this stuff and it is the truth. My skin is brighter, glowing, and super duper clear. I also got the fade serum and honeyyyyy, let me tell you. My dark spots, dark spots I've never been able to get rid of, gone! I have marks on my nose from my glasses, faded away. I am a Blume stan now. I love my skin, but I also get super annoyed with little bumps that seem to never go away. My face is actually so smooth now though. I have oily skin, and I was nervous I'd be a huge ball of grease after using this but nope, not at all! I use it at night and in the morning my skin is perfectly moisturized. Safe to say that I'm in love and their products have become staples in my skincare routine.

Check out a TikTok of the Meltdown Acne Oil in action.

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING and MAGIC. I ordered more out of fear of running out. All acne and fade products have dried or broken out my skin further but this stuff clears my skin, makes it glow, and hydrates it. Beyond beyond obsessed. THANK U BLUME! xoxo" —Kaitlin A.

Get it from Blume for $28+ (available in two sizes) or Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I have been told I cackle wildly when using these. Where there used to be frustration and curse words, there is now glee and sweet satisfaction. Scraping pans, tins, and tray sheets has become a breeze since I bought these. Originally bought for my cast irons, but the other cookware wanted in on that nonscratch, sweet sweet scrape action." —Amazon Customer

Act + Acre is a woman-owned small biz based in NYC that apecializes in dry shampoo that is cruelty-free and made without talc, aluminum, alcohol, aerosols, parabens, phthalates, gluten, and fragrances.

Promising review: "Wow!! This is an absolutely amazing product. As someone who only buys cruelty-free items and has 90% plant-based beauty products, I’ve been through my fair share of dry shampoos in search of a good one. The bottle seems small upon receiving it, but WOW, a small amount goes so far. It's so light in my hair that I don't even feel like I’ve got it on. Super effective, a gentle scent that isn't overpowering, but greatly refreshing. If you’re looking for a plant-based dry shampoo, I highly recommend this. The effectiveness, lasting power, and scent are all better than other brands I’ve tried." —Jocelyn Wendt
