Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be good to go!

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine, and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson." 

Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s, and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds, but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem whatsoever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference in a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes, and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons

That said, gray hair is gorgeous, so let those silvery strands shine!

Promising review: "Lightweight and great coverage on gray/white roots. Bought dark blonde and it is more of a light brown, but it works well with my highlights/low lights. I’m horrible about getting hair done every two months. I usually go four months between colorings and save time and money. I’m 49 and have about 2 inches of grey growth on each side of my part, so it‘s actually 4 inches of grey roots on the top of my head. As long as you don’t spray too close, then it doesn’t get heavy or sticky. I highly recommend this product." —Michelle D.

It even comes with an adjustable strap if you're someone who tosses and turns in their sleep (or if you're using it to recover from an injury that may lead to limited mobility).

Promising review: "I'm 49 and a lifelong athlete and fitness trainer. I train a lot, and I also spend a great deal of time driving. I am struggling with piriformis syndrome in my right leg, plus have an old knee injury in my left leg. I also sleep only on my side at night. Sleeping with a pillow above my knees has worked okay and has helped but it is hard keeping it in place. I bought this to try, and it's awesome! It stays in place, is very comfortable, has helped my issues in reducing stress in my legs enormously. It was a little thicker than I expected it to be and took a little getting used to, but now it's great. Having the strap has been really helpful because it stays in place when I switch from sleeping on my one side to my other side during the night." —Christine T. Mitchell

And because of its easy-to-use design, reviewers with arthritis and other accessibility needs often ask themselves, "How did I live without this?"

Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin.

Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm 30 and thought this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills are fantastic, and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place, but they will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one day's worth of pills, set it on my counter, and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "So easy to use! It took a couple of days before anything started happening — my feet just felt 'tight,' and then I saw a bubble on my heel, and it was amazing! After more than 30 years of being in sports and the military, these are phenomenal! My feet were so soft and looked perfect! PS — best to use when you don’t need to wear sandals or show your feet because it takes a couple of days for everything to shed off." —RLeigh

Patellar tendon straps like this one can reduce strain on the tendon connecting your kneecap and tibia during physical activity. While this can help reduce pain, talk to your doctor about recurring pain so you can address any underlying issues. Learn more about patellar tendon straps at Cleveland Clinic, and chat with your doctor to see if this is right for your knee pain.

Promising review: "I played tennis when I was younger. Now I'm in my 40s, and when I run on hills, my right knee hurts. I read the reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. It works great! I put this on when I go for walks or runs, and the pain is gone! It is easy to put on and take off. I hand-wash it and air-dry it. It comes in a pack of two. I only needed one, so I gave one to my mom! If you have knee pain, you need to try this product!" —Mehul Desai

Promising review: "As a new 30-year-old, I’ve started to notice some aches and pains in the mornings. After suffering from terrible neck pain and restless nights, I decided to purchase these pillows after seeing such good reviews. I have had them for about a week now, and I feel incredible! I am a belly/side sleeper, and these are the most amazing pillows I’ve ever used. I sleep soundly and don’t wake up in the night trying to get comfortable. I just purchased two more! These are the best find!!!!!!" —Hope Carlson

Promising review: "Since moving to Chicago, my hands have been suffering severely from dry, cracked skin to the point of bleeding. I'm in my 30s with the hands of an 80-year-old! THIS HAND CREAM IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED AND THE ONLY HAND CREAM ANYONE NEEDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE!!! One application alone gives tremendous relief; two applications, and you forget your hands were ever dry. A small amount goes a long way. It absorbs immediately, it's light and non-greasy. I don't know what else you can need; it's so effective that my hands look and feel great again. In fact, just recently, my face started to get really dry too, and I've been moisturizing twice a day all my life. Nothing helped. Last night I decided to put this hand cream on my face, figured it does wonders for my hands, why not? I woke up this morning. Dry skin has all but gone!" —RS

Read more about compression gloves and osteoarthritis at Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: "I am in my 40s and was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hands and feet. Total bummer. I don’t want to take medication unless absolutely necessary, so I have been searching out other forms of relief from the pain and stiffness. I added these compression gloves to the mix, and they are very helpful. The gloves have a good range of motion and provide great compression support. They have been especially helpful when I do yard work, and I also plan to use them for an interior painting project. It’s very hot where I live, so I don’t currently wear them every day. However, I know I will wear them frequently during fall and winter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for medication alternatives to arthritis!" —cb4iast8

Compression socks may help with foot pain by helping reduce inflammation and improving circulation, according to Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: "I'm in my late 40s, and I have been experiencing plantar fasciitis since the beginning of 2020. I spent money on gel arch supports and heel inserts specifically for plantar fasciitis. The inserts have kept me from dying, but the heel pain is still around — so much so that when I get up in the mornings, it takes a bit for me to walk 'normal' due to the pain. I couldn't put up with it anymore, and two days ago, I researched Amazon for the highest rated 'plantar fasciitis' solution and found these socks. I put them on immediately (not tight at all). I was sitting for about an hour doing some work on the computer, then got up to do some things around the house. I was SHOCKED (I'm not kidding about my reaction) that the pain was barely there. I got up 'quickly' and walked as if the heels of my feet had not been killing me, but only two hours earlier! I'd say that the improvement from pain to less pain so far is at about 60% better — maybe even greater." —Patita

(Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!)

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Promising review: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear, and I finally found it. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer

"So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I try. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey

Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 11 color combos).

Promising review: "This saved me from buying a new mattress. After waking up daily with a backache (I'm only 30 and have no injuries or logical reason other than a bad mattress), I knew I needed to do something. This was a last-ditch effort to save myself from spending hundreds on a completely new mattress. So far, so good! It's a tad warm at times, yes, but I actually appreciate that because I tend to be cold when I'm falling asleep. At best, I have a comfy place to sleep. At worst, I throw off the extra blanket halfway through the night because I'm too hot. I'd recommend this to anyone but sleepers who already get too hot at night. If that's you, look into one with ventilation holes (this is one solid piece) and cooling properties." —Leandra

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in 2-, 3-, or 4-inch depth, in nine standard bed sizes, and with or without a cover).

Promising review: "This product is da bomb! Yeah, I said that, and I am 43 years old. Seriously, for months — heck, probably years — every single day we have to fix the sheet, and it still comes off the mattress even when we are sleeping. I clip these things on, and no more issues. You can see the sheet trying to slide up, but the clips hang on tight." —Ivy

Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).

Promising review: "I love these more than I ever thought I would! I bought the cream and white and wear them several times a week. They go with jeans, leggings, joggers, and athletic shorts. I'm 38-years-old and never imagined myself wanting to wear sneakers every day, but here I am! Officially old and preferring these to any other shoe I own. I wear size 8, and these run true to size. No need to untie, as they slip on and off easily. I've been wearing these for five months, and they are holding up well."—805GardenQueen

Get them from Amazon for $33.98+ (available in women’s sizes 6–10 and in 15 colors).

Promising review: "Purchased two pairs for my running shoes (49-year-old male). They work very well, have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire lace from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott

Read more about ketoconazole shampoo at Cleveland Clinic.

This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed and chemically processed hair, and all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.

Promising review: "After suddenly developing dandruff in my 40s, and trying other medicated shampoos, this one knocked it out in two days! I use it about once a week for maintenance, and a tea tree oil shampoo in between. Very happy with personal results. Smells good, too." —rebeljack78

Promising review: "This concealer is my holy grail! I'm in my mid-40s with VERY fair skin. I have rosacea that, when it flares up, is so red/purple it looks like a bruise. I do use a bit of color correcting concealer for those times in a pale green under my foundation, but this is the step I need to make my skin look 'normal' — and it makes me look flawless! I love that it has incredibly good coverage, but it's so thin/sheer in texture that it doesn't build up or look cakey on the skin." —Alli Holstrom

People also swear by this for long car rides!

Promising review: "ABSOLUTELY best support cushion I've used! We have so many aids/cushions/creams/new beds every three years, and an endless amount of physical therapy devices I've purchased online or even online with a prescription, and nothing I've got has ever just 'WORKED!' right out of the box. It wasn't a cushion that sat awkwardly in the chair, I didn't feel like I was 40-something going on 90, and it didn't feel like 'it will probably keep my tailbone part from not feeling as bad' — NOPE, THIS CUSHION INSTANTLY CRADLED MY BODY IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTED FAR MORE THAN MY TAILBONE!! I always have to get up so carefully to lean forward and release my coccyx pressure first, before I can even get up. THIS PILLOW TRULY KEEPS ALL PRESSURE OFF MY COCCYX AND SPINE. I plan on getting a few more to have several places." —J-licious

Read more about tongue scraping at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I was skeptical, but after the first use, I was sold. The motivation to use it twice a day (or more) was immediate, because it solved what mints, brushing mouthwash, etc., just never did: It eliminated my bad breath. If you've struggled with bad breath, like I have (for YEARS), get one of these. I wouldn't have believed it, but after scraping my tongue, I could immediately tell that my mouth was clean in a new way. That 'old taste' was gone. A toothbrush doesn't cut it — it can't get back on the tongue like the scraper does. And this scraper gets stuff in a way that a toothbrush just won't. Trust me — when you scrape your tongue, you'll see what I mean. 

"For those with a sensitive 'gag reflex,' which I also have in spades, I've been using this scraper two times per day for a month and have gagged using it about three times, even though I'm touching further back on my tongue than I EVER did with a toothbrush (which never helped my breath significantly, I realize now). It's nothing now that my breath is fresh after getting rid of the bacteria that were actually causing the bad breath. I'm 44 and can't believe I'd never heard of a tongue scraper until now. I've bought two additional ones to give to family members." —CODreamer

The Migrastil migraine stick comes from small biz Basic Vigor. 

Promising review: "I started getting migraines in my 40s with the onset of hormone changes. Migraines were new to me, and I needed to figure out how to handle them when they came. This stick is now a trusted part of my arsenal. It works. I used to have a migraine every month, but now I use this at the first sign, and they don’t progress. It’s weird, but it works for me." —Bryn

Promising review: "My 66-year-old mother suffers from varicose veins and also has a variety of food intolerances that make 'going' a challenge. She tried this thing out and says it helps. I'm currently visiting my parents and staying at their home. At 39 years old, overweight, and with lower-body nerve damage and mobility issues, I find this comfortable to use and definitely helpful. In addition, my 42-year-old brother has tried it and says it helps more than fiber supplements." —AKAmazonCustomer

Promising review: "These are the ones I have been searching for! I have not been sweating at all since I started wearing them (I'm 49 and get hot flashes during the night) or at least waking up with damp clothes. The only thing I don't like is that they take forever to air dry because of the pocket construction. Other than that they seem well made and are super comfortable! I'm getting a second pair so I can rotate them for plenty of drying time." —Greg Ruth

Promising review: "Relief! I have high arches and have developed something like plantar fasciitis now that I'm in my mid-40s. Didn't want to spend the money on the comparable Birkenstocks, even though I highly trust that brand. So glad I tried these first! Can't believe the price. And when I can't stand being barefoot or in any other shoes, these are my go-to. Wonderful!" —DB

Get it from Amazon for $33.23+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 colors).

Promising review: "I am a guy and I want to keep my hair for my entire life. Now I'm in my mid-40s and just started noticing more hair pulled off after washing my hair. It's said that you should lightly massage the head with keeping fingers on the same spot to wash the hair, instead of making continuous rubbing action as you'd do normally. In that soft way to wash the hair, I could prevent pulling a lot of hair, but it doesn't feel thoroughly washing hair. In fact, I get more dandruff in this way. This scalp massager is just perfect to wash the hair without pulling excess hair off. It feels like having my hair washed at a good hair salon. It's a simple tool but works pretty darn good for me." —E
