1. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer reviewers swear by for an extra hydration punch to combat winter dryness and redness. It also makes an excellent skin-softening primer base for makeup, with a lot of reviewers comparing its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, which is over twice as expensive.
Promising review: "I'm really pleased with this moisturizing foundation. It spreads evenly and covers well. I have trouble in the winter with dry flaky patches and redness on my cheeks and I was very pleased to see how this moisturized and covered those areas very well. It does not look cake-y and can be built up. I chose the one for redness. Which seems like it would work for anyone. Highly recommend! And I have tried products from top of the line to the bottom." —Heather B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).
2. And E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Lip Mask for anyone who wants to go TURBO on ensuring they lock in enough moisture in the cold, dry weather. 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.
3. 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: "This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" —Mona L Cureton
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. 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!!

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 where my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
7. 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!
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
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.
8. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to help exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps — a lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this for relief, with many noticing a difference after the very first use.
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 $10+ (available in two sizes).
9. 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, with visible differences within a minute of use.
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
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.
10. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors to help you skip expensive salon treatments — these will get rid of lil' unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or work whatever face fuzzies you might want to take care of in a gentle way right at home. Reviewers also love how much smoother their makeup goes on when they make dermaplaning a part of their regular routine!
Promising review: "I feel like a pro. I've been paying $50+ for spa dermaplane, and by buying these (which are really well made), I can do it myself much more regularly. I did use face oil beforehand to prepare my skin. Since I've had dermaplane done before, I knew to pull the skin taut and use short strokes. Advantage of dermaplane: peach fuzz is gone, makeup goes on smoother, and serums can penetrate better." —seebee
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight colors).
11. And a discreet, quiet facial hair trimmer for anyone whose thoughts on razors, waxing, or tweezers are simply, "Thank you, next!" This pain-free, ridiculously fast solution has over 99,000 5-star reviews singing its praises.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product at first and how well it would work. When I received it though, I bought three more because it is so small, discreet, easy to use, and quiet. I keep one at home, in my purse, and in my travel bag to quickly get rid of those annoying little hairs that seem to pop up out of nowhere on my face. It is completely painless and I've personally never gotten a rash or nick while using it. The product leaves skin very smooth and works both quickly and quietly. Would definitely recommend!" —Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in four colors).
12. An earwax removal kit, so you don't have to wait until your yearly physical for your doctor to be like, "Um, WHOA" and fix it for you. This is quicker, easier, and will be a huge relief for those of us waxy individuals who sometimes wake up in the morning with an ear so fully clogged up that it feels like you're underwater.
Y'all, this stuff is no joke — you can check out the earwax removal kit customer reviews to see the GOBS it is taking outta people's canals.
Promising review: "My right ear has been plugged up for months. I squirted warm water in there, peroxide, tried various ear scraper tools, then just gave up. A month or so later, I saw this product at a local CVS, and gave it a try. Laid on couch with several drops in my ear for a half hour. I could hear weird fizzing noises. Then I flushed warm water in my ear with the included soft bulb syringe, and out came the culprit. Had to have been deep in there." —fixitforgood
Get it from Amazon for $6.90.
13. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller you simply swipe over your face like a magic wand that makes excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $7.29.
14. A set of "wine wands" to remove sulfates and histamines from your beloved cheap Pinots in as little as three minutes, basically making "not getting a hangover" your new superpower.
Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic.
PureWine is a small business that specializes in wine accessories.
Promising review: "What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. 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 a set of three from Amazon for $11.99.
15. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away headaches, which frankly have a lot of audacity interrupting your day.

Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic.

Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in two colors).
17. A pack of unscented SweatBlock wipes that work for up to *seven days* after application — perfect for those of us whose underarms are a little, uh, enthusiastic, to say the least. Reviewers especially swear by this for events that might bring on nervous sweating!
SweatBlock is a small business that specializes in antiperspirant products.
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
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).
18. 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!
Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products.
Check out a TikTok of the back scrubber in action.
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.
19. A ridiculously charming octopus-shaped blackhead remover you can use to gently scrub as part of your skin routine or in the shower to remove excess sebum to exfoliate pores and pull out blackheads, whiteheads, and other miscellaneous gunk from the day that you'd rather evict.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel
"After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me and smells great, too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
20. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Engage 2," 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 keep yourself from getting overstimulated in a noisy home without seeming antisocial. (Especially since these are so subtle that nobody will notice them!)
Promising review: "I work in a laboratory so I am constantly surrounded by lots of sounds varying in pitch and frequency which can be very overwhelming, especially for someone with noise sensitivities. I have had several people recommend these to me, so I decided to give them a try. I so happy I did! When I put these in it feels like I’m coming into my peaceful little bubble. They allow me to have a higher tolerance of noise and have overall reduced my stress and overstimulation of the environment I’m in. It seems like they do a good job at blocking out noises I personally find the most distressing (ie. high pitched, constant noises)." —Makayla
Get it from Amazon for $27.95 (available in eight colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!).
21. A game-changing deep exfoliating shower glove reviewers swear by for everything from brightening skin to handling keratosis pilaris flare-ups to prepping themselves to get or remove color from spray tans.

Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products.
To use, soften skin with warm water for five to ten minutes, and then scrub wet *without* the use of soap.
Promising review: "Seriously thought this thing was a hoax and just another TikTok trend.

So easy and so worth it!!" —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. 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 when that winter dryness is coming for your 'do. 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 to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." —Marina M.

23. 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
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34.
24. 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.
25. Aquaphor's Healing Balm Stick made with avocado oil and shea butter to soothe all those dry, cracked spots that pop up on your human body. This is perfectly portable so you can get relief on the go!
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 hairline to protect my skin from hair dye!" —Tara Fossa
Get it from Amazon for $10.47.
26. A podiatrist-level toenail clipper to quickly and easily take care of thicker toenails and ingrown ones, so if you want to give yourself a pedicure and paint your toesies now that sandals are fair game again, you can do it right at home.
Promising review: "I am on my feet a lot, and I had two nails that had thickened to the point where I couldn't use the regular nail clippers any more because they didn't open far enough. I had nail scissors but they weren't nearly strong enough. I'm not going to lie — I was getting really self-conscious about them, in addition to the fact that my shoes were getting more and more uncomfortable. I found these clippers and tried them out and I couldn't believe how smoothly they cut through my super-thick nails. I thought I was going to have to apply a lot of pressure, but the blades just slid right through. One of the best purchases I've made in a while!" —Katie D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
27. A Squatty Potty, one of those internet-famous stools you can put at the base of your toilet to prop your feet up on while you ~go~. The placement helps align your colon to make the process a whole lot easier and faster — like, 20 seconds compared to several minutes! — so you don't end up watching all of TikTok while you're waiting yourself out.
Psst — a lot of reviewers with chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal issues that get them ~backed up~ swear by this! Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This is a game changer. I was skeptical, but this thing REALLY works! Since we started using this about a week ago, we have noticed significantly less abdominal pain, bloating/gas, and increased gut health. I highly recommend this to everyone!" —emily a
Get it from Amazon for $21.45+ (available in three sizes).
28. A bottle of odor-banishing Poo-Pourri spray, so nobody in the family ever has to come out of the bathroom and be all, "Uh, maybe give it a minute."
Promising review: "What can I say other than this stuff WORKS! I bought this for a recent cruise my husband and I went on. Definitely a must for small spaces like a cruise stateroom. The scent was great and long lasting. It worked WAY better than using a cover-up bathroom spray like Glade. I’ve since bought a few bottles of the lavender vanilla scent (which I like even more). If you haven’t ever tried Poo-Pourri, you’re missing out and should buy it now!" —reachforthestars
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in six sizes).
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~.
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.
Promising review: "This was a TikTok buy and it was worth it. Highly recommend it. It does the work. Long lasting and not sticky at all." —EBATL
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
30. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo to relieve flaking and itching and help prevent outbreaks by getting directly to the root. A lot of reviewers mention that it not only started working from the first use, but it *also* helped with shedding and hair loss caused by dandruff in the first place.
This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." —Martin C.
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
31. 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
Get it from Amazon for $26.95 (available in one other styles).
