Lots of reviewers use this to help piercings heal!

Promising reviews: "As a fair-skinned person who's sensitive to heat and sun, gets itchy-dry eyes/lashes, this spray helps with all of that. I love using it in my skincare routine post-shower for added hydration. I’ll also just randomly spritz throughout the day for a refresh. I’ll spray on a cotton pad and wipe my eyelids down if they’re irritated. If you’ve gotten a bit too much sun, this also works wonders. It’s literally like the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and his Windex spray bottle — 'put some Windex on it' — noooo, put some hypochlorous acid spray on it because it’ll 100% make it better!!" —Tara Peterson

"Better than Tower 28. Why spend the money on the brand name when this works so well, if not better!" —LAURA Martino

Promising review: "I live in the mid-Atlantic region, where pollen is bad April through June. Despite having an air purifier, washing my hands regularly, changing and washing my linens regularly, etc., I still struggle with itchy, watery eyes and blurry vision. This eye drop is THE BEST! One drop in each eye is plenty. Best for severe allergies." —ESB

Promising review: "Great product, my skin loves it! I ride several horses daily and struggle with bum acne in the summer months. This product is a game-changer for me! It worked quickly, and I will be a lifelong customer now!! I'm feeling confident in my swimwear as my bum acne is almost completely gone. Thank you for creating this great product!!!" —Chantel

Promising reviews: "It's inexpensive, and it smoothed my bottom. Good purchase for the price!" —Carey S.

FYI: These wipes now come in new packaging, so don't be alarmed if yours doesn't look like those pictured above!

Promising review: "These are my life-savers. One of the few products I have on subscription. They are lightly scented and don't linger, but leave you feeling fresh. They are moist enough to use on both underarms, and if it's been a particularly hot day, I'll use one down my arms and neck for a quick freshen up." —Amber S

Promising reviews: "I struggle so badly with ingrown hairs on my bikini area and my legs. I started using this a week ago, and I’m noticing differences! Also leaves your skin feeling refreshed." —Neleh beard

"This stuff is awesome! I have very sensitive skin, and my underarms and legs itch for 24–48 hours after I shave, no matter what I do. I now apply this stuff immediately after getting out of the shower, and it helps SO much. It tingles for a minute but subsides quickly and works really well." —Kara Hutchinson

BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga owns and uses this. Check out her Monday Haircare dry shampoo review!

Promising reviews: "My favorite dry shampoo. No residue is left behind. It gets rid of excess oil and cleans your hair. Perfect for the summer." —Mister and Mrs Cork, Ireland

"I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg Ryan Blanton

Happy Nuts is a small business specializing in grooming products.

Promising reviews: "This has honestly exceeded my expectations. It provides a deep, effective cleanse without causing dryness or irritation. It feels gentle on sensitive skin and leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and moisturized after every shower. There’s no tight or uncomfortable feeling, which is something I really appreciate. The scent is clean and not overpowering. It lathers well, rinses off easily, and works great as an all-in-one body wash. You can tell it’s designed with men’s skin in mind, especially for areas that need extra care." —jaber waleed alsulaiti

"Definitely give it a try if you chafe anywhere on your body! It's great for people who work outside or even during/after the gym!!" —Bradford Smith

Fresh Body is a small business that specializes in personal care products. 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I am a sweaty person. Apparently, I have no thermostat because, randomly, I will just start sweating, and it's a lot. Well, I ended up with yeast under my breasts, and it gets red and sore. After you shower, dry off really well and apply this cream (a little dab will do ya) under your breasts and say goodbye to the inflammation and soreness. I also use it in the down-there region. I will be buying this forever." —Deb Warwick

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in different pack sizes).

Promising reviews: "This definitely takes away the shininess on face mid-day in summer weather." —SJJS

"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Promising review: "This stuff is fantastic! It kept my makeup looking fresh all day through the humid Florida summer. Love how it takes the shine off of my face and lightly blurs my pores. Forever part of my daily routine." —Sparky

Promising reviews: "I use this on my stinky sneakers after a long day at summer camp. It works beautifully! No more stink walking around with me." —Hannah

"Been using this for about a month. I run and go to the gym, so I use my sneakers five to six times a week. I remove the insoles and spray those, then spray inside the sneakers. I like the scent, kind of minty, and it kills any odors immediately. It’s all natural, too, which I like. I’d recommend." —Lisa S

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Promising review: "My shoes get so sweaty, and these flat socks make them wearable in the hot Texas summer! I already bought another pair! They have already been washed, and they are still perfect." —lane hardgrave

Get it from Amazon for $9.12+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and five colors).

Results should last through 3–4 shampoos!

Promising review: "This stuff is legit amazing. Mississippi heat down here — 'real feel' is 111 most days. My hair usually starts to look frizzy and sorta funky wavy in some spots as soon as I leave the house due to the ridiculous humidity we have here. I am so impressed. Somehow, it gave my usually flat-to-my-head hair some volume as well. All I did was shampoo, conditioner, towel dry, and then blow-dry with tension like the back of the bottle says." —ChrisandLeslie

Get it from Amazon for $30 (also available in a travel size).

Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I've had KP forever, and I get flare-ups from heat, friction, and sweat on my legs really bad in summer. I use this exfoliator after I shave my legs, and it does wonders for the skin. Not only does it calm the angry bumps when I have a flare-up, but it also helps to soothe the skin and prevent future bumps. I don't know how I was surviving without this product for so long." —Lindsay

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "I’m happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort led me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course, this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer, I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt’s Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." —Meghan 

For best results, replace every four hours.

Promising review: "I'm mosquito heaven and get eaten alive every spring and summer. I've used the spray bug stuff in the past, but I really don't like spraying it on my skin. I put one of these bracelets on an ankle and one on the opposite wrist before playing pickleball and haven't had one bite yet!" —Amazon Customer

Quitch is a small business founded by moms who were tired of using bug spray on their kids! Adult reviewers are loving 'em, too!

Promising review: "These are the best for when my son gets bitten by mosquitoes. He usually welts up pretty bad. These help with the scratching." —Brenda Diaz

Promising review: "This is a life-saver! I was skeptical at first, but after using it on several mosquito bites, I’m amazed at how well it works. It provides instant relief by reducing the itch and swelling, all without needing any creams or chemicals." —kezra2010

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: "I seldom write reviews, but this nasal spray deserves its five stars. My nose was SO stopped up I couldn’t breathe through it for several days. When this arrived, I put it to the test, and within 30 seconds, I could breathe. Magic! This stuff would be worth $100 a bottle. It really does work. So far, I’ve been nasal congestion-free for eight hours. If you are looking for a fast remedy, don’t hesitate. This stuff is like having a decongestant genie in a bottle, granting your wish to smell the air once more." —Sad Eyes

Get it from Amazon for $7.84 (also available in multipacks). 

Promising review: "I bought this because of spring allergies. Using it reduces the irritation and sneezing caused by pollen." —Sam t.

This is a hard wax kit (meaning the wax hardens and doesn't require paper or fabric strips to remove the wax). It comes with both a silicone pot and an aluminum pot; the silicone pot is easier to clean, while the aluminum pot heats the wax faster. In addition to the warmer and the pots, you'll also get wooden application sticks, face and eyebrow wax, chest and back wax, arms and legs wax, and bikini and Brazilian wax.

Promising review: "I have been looking for a wax warmer for a while. After years of warming up wax in a microwave, I decided to buy an affordable wax warmer, and this was exactly what I wanted. I have tried both of the wax samples that come with the purchase, and the wax worked great for facial hair and body hair. I do it every two weeks, and it is easy and quick. I only have to use wax a couple of times on my upper lip and eyebrow for all the hair to be removed. I can adjust the temperature as I please, and it only takes about 10 minutes to reach the desired temperature." —Cami A.

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven colors and also with six packs of wax beads).

It has massage rollers and two speed settings!

Promising review: "Since using this, I haven't shaved my legs in months, and used to have to every three to four days. I've honestly seen the best results on my armpits, though; I used to shave them every other day, but since I epilated two weeks ago, I've seen no hair growth and no hair shadow. Way more convenient than waxing, too, because you can target individual shorter hairs as they grow in rather than waiting for everything to grow back a certain length." —k3upikachu

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal raves, "Folks, after just one treatment with this hardworking gel, I can report my feet are as soft as a baby's bum! Seriously. It literally reset my hard, calloused skin, and now I barely even recognize the toes that are wiggling before me! I honestly can't believe I had gone so long just suffering with unsightly calluses. So if you have tough, hard skin that you've vowed is beyond repair, do yourself a favor and add this to your cart. Oh, and for spa-worthy results, use a pumice stone first and always wear gloves when applying the gel."

Promising reviews: "Finally. This is amazing. My heels are so beautiful. I am now excited to expose my feet for the summer. I love it." —Nadira Narine

"This stuff is amazing at removing callouses and dead skin. I hadn’t had a pedicure in over six months, so my heels were calloused and cracking. I soaked my feet in hot water for about 30 minutes, put this stuff on a few rough areas of my feet, let it sit for about five minutes, then used a Dr. Scholl's foot buffer, and the dead skin started falling off. My feet are now as smooth as a baby's bottom. Love this stuff!" —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents).

Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have hard skin on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda

Promising review: "These disposable face towels are amazing! They’re soft, strong, and don’t fall apart when wet. Perfect for cleansing, removing makeup, or after the gym. My skin feels cleaner and more hygienic using these instead of regular washcloths." —Janice Gearhart

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly

Promising review: "I bought these for my very first cruise. It was a 5-day cruise that had a bit of rough waters the first two days out to sea. I was a little bit leery as to whether these would keep the nausea away, as I am very prone to motion sickness (car rides in the mountains, carnival rides, etc). I put these on just before boarding the ship and didn't take them off until the fourth day. By then, I figured my 'sea legs' would have kicked in. I didn't have any issues at all, unlike many of my fellow cruisers. I'm bringing these with me on my next cruise!!" —EA99

Promising review: "I have been using this body lotion all summer, and I am OBSESSED. I love the smell. I have very sensitive/dry skin that is prone to rashes with scented products, but I have not had an issue with this product at all! My skin is so soft, and a noticeable difference in dry skin after just a couple of days of moisturizing." —Ashlee Thomspson

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

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious, life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." —Niko

JSYK: the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I'm always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren't usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pictures are in direct sunlight, so you can see [the product] in full effect. For reference, I have combination, thirtysomething-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." —Lovely91

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and four shades).

Promising review: "If you like to wear your hair down in a part, if you have a middle part when you wear your hair up, if you have thinner hair, this is the right product for you. No more sunburn scalp nightmares. We all hate when our scalp gets sunburnt and, as it heals, gets flakes on our scalp or hairline peeling. Fret no more and buy this product. It doesn’t make your hair greasy and is perfect for spraying your hairline, scalp, part, etc. I do this with my child’s hair a lot because the sun just seems to stream right through her hair. She hates wearing hats to the pool, so I take this every time I go to avoid her scalp getting sunburnt. Some of the other scalp sprays are grittier and greasier. This is not. It’s a little pricey but well worth the money!" —Kaylee E Agin
