“WHAT IN THE HAIR SORCERY IS GOING ON?” — a reviewer talking about the instant hair-filling fibers you’ll want to buy an entire case of.

I'm a Shopping Editor who uses my passion for hitting "add to cart" (and my 8+ years in media) to curate the best products on the web — I'm particularly passionate about finding the best beauty products, which probably stems from my days of working at Lush Cosmetics, where I learned about effective skincare ingredients while getting covered in bath bomb dust every day.

Sometimes a product is so good, you're tempted to pick up the packaging and see if "magic" is listed among the ingredients. Or if it was "Made in Oz." Or check the website to see if the company's founder is Sabrina Spellman. You get the idea. From brilliant neck creams and sunburn-soothers to shiny glass cleaners and stain-lifters, these products produced results that had reviewers convinced that "sorcery" was involved.

BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything has just come out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" —IHateCleaning

Promising review: "What sorcery is this?!! A little expensive, and I didn't think it would work as described. Positive reviews swayed me, and I'm glad they did. When used as directed, sprayed on the included large microfiber cloth, it took off all the leftover smudges from another 'cleaning' a few days ago. Now my Samsung Odyssey G40B monitor looks like it just came out of the box. Very satisfied and will buy again when needed, now off to clean our TV's." —TIMMY!!

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes).

The kit comes with one scrubber and two shower and tub lemon foaming Magic Erasers.

Promising review: "What is this sorcery? I have despised my glass shower ever since I moved in! It is the worst to keep clean. I have tried many different products, and nothing works as well as this. This product is amazing! Very little effort and my glass shower is clear again! I had no issues with the scrubber staying on the handle, and the squeegee is a great addition." —NurseMoMo

Get it from Amazon for $12.94 (and you can pick up a pack of the foaming Magic Eraser refills here). 

Nivea recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine. Also, Nivea has updated their packaging, so if you purchased this previously, your new bottle may look slightly different.

Promising review: "Whoa. I learned about this lotion from Beauty by Anne-Marie (on YouTube). As with anything by influencers, I was skeptical... In TWO APPLICATIONS, this made my neck look CONSIDERABLY better... I'm going to keep this tube of lotion on my nightstand and use it morning and night!.. I have to say that this Nivea lotion is like some kind of sorcery." —AbbeyDove

This works best in thinning areas on the crown and part line, and if you're in between two shades, the brand recommends going with the darker option. To use, just sprinkle over the desired area and pat it in — you can also hit it with some hairspray for an extra secure hold. It'll wash out with your next shampoo. 

I personally am OBSESSED with this stuff for covering the bald spot my thirties have so graciously gifted me. It is so simple to sprinkle into any thinning areas (yes, even by yourself! Though I typically hold up a hand mirror behind my head while looking in another mirror to get a better idea of where to aim the container). I've never had any issues with it fading or sweating off, though I do typically do a super light spritz of hairspray just in case.

Promising reviews: "I have thinning hair due to a number of medical issues (thyroid, chemo), with the majority of bald/thin spots at the crown. The color match was perfect, and it's very easy to apply to the bare spots. It sprinkles on easily and covers wonderfully. I pat it into place and finish with hairspray, and I'm good to go." —mozart8

"I have AA 4c hair that I recently cut super short. When it was long, my thin spots around the hairline were concealed. So, with my hair short, they were apparent and made me self-conscious. I purchased Boldify with just a little skepticism. I am so glad I purchased it. The application is easy and does not stain clothing. Be careful not to scratch your head throughout the day because you will see the dark coloring under your fingernails. It is a large bottle for the price. I will continue to buy and recommend." —Jza Jza

Get it from Amazon for $14.80+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack, and in 14 colors).

Although, gray hair is honestly pretty fierce, so feel free to let those silvery strands shine!

Promising reviews: "What is this sorcery?! This stuff is amazing! I’ll take some pics next time I use it. Hands down best purchase of the month!" —Shannon K.

"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." —Catie B.

You can place one in the detergent tray and run a normal cycle. An additional tablet can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher for a deeper clean. You can also use it while cleaning dishes by placing a tablet in the bottom of your dishwasher when running a normal cycle.

Promising review: "I recently faced a daunting challenge with my Bosch dishwasher. Over time, it began to leave a disappointing film on utensils, and the clarity of my glass cookware significantly diminished. Additionally, the stainless steel interior, which was once a highlight of the machine, started to look dull and uninviting. This was disheartening, especially considering the dishwasher's age and previously impeccable performance... 

However, hope was restored when I discovered this dishwasher cleaner. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give it a try. I ran an empty load with two tablets, somewhat apprehensive about the potential outcome. To my utter astonishment, the results were nothing short of miraculous. After the cycle, my dishwasher was transformed - it looked and performed as if it was brand new, a state it hadn't been in since I first got it 15 years ago.

The effectiveness of this product is almost magical. I'm not sure what kind of 'sorcery' is at work in these tablets, but they truly work wonders." —Abe W.

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $9.19.

Promising review: "Clearly, I've never had a clean face before in my entire life. Good news is, wtf even is this sorcery?? I tested on my extreme blackhead zone, and it's like an actual magnet? I almost wish for more blackheads to appear so I can zap them away with this magic sauce." —Jessica M.

Promising review: "I don’t know what sorcery is in these bottles, but I don’t care. I will be telling everyone to purchase. One swipe across my mirror and I could tell it was gold. Does have a slight smell, but it’s not terrible. I’d probably say to invest in microfiber cloths, too. My paper towels left lint/fuzz everywhere, and the microfiber cloths did not. Point is: stop reading this review and BUY IT." —Jessica Z.

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Can we talk about what kind of sorcery is this? 'Cause I’m confused about how it works in days. Can see the difference every day... nothing works like this one." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in five sizes and a refill tub).

Promising review: "What sorcery is this? These do what they say they’ll do. Your skin feels like glass if you use these regularly...They are magical. I don’t know if they do anything for my wrinkles or lines, but the texture of my mature skin is definitely improved. So smooth. Lots of 'juice' in the jar, too — don’t waste it! Great value!" —M. Waldschmidt

Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in seven formulas and two sizes).

These wipes are nonabrasive so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors, vinyl, baseboards, and more.

Promising review: "I do not know what sort of sorcery formula this brand uses, but the selling points they make are true. It gently cleans hands. Like really CLEAN. And at the same time, I can also use it under my car hood, in bathrooms, counters, sneakers, etc. You'll be there trying to think what else can this stuff clean." —JKT

This uses plasma flameless arc technology to create an electric spark that can ignite flammable materials, so no butane or flame is involved!

Promising reviews: "Sorcery! Not sure how this thing works exactly? But it works great! Came with charging cord too." —Kalesma

"I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S.

Promising review: "Sorcery. We travel in an RV full-time, and with camping comes bugs… After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic. I don’t see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they’re teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad — or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn’t have a chance to annoy me. If you have a gnat that has ever annoyed you, buy this. It’ll catch him and his 2,964,953 buddies that you haven’t even noticed." —Kirsten

Promising review: "This product is magical and smells like gin (an added delight). It performed pure sorcery three days after soaking in its wonderful gin-soaked squishy bags." —Kelly

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "Not only does this gel work wonders, but it also comes with a bonus feature: entertainment! Watching those calluses disappear is oddly satisfying, like a mini science experiment happening right on my feet.

So, if you're tired of feeling like you're walking on sandpaper, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of this foot sorcery. Your feet will thank you, and you might just discover a newfound passion for podiatric magic tricks. Five stars from this satisfied foot magician! 🌟✨ I did give four stars for 'Easy to Use' and 'Easy to Hold'...The product is slippery, and if it accidentally gets on your hands, fingers, or legs, it can cause a slight burning sensation." —Charm City Ginger

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two formulas and a pack of two).

Promising review: "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! For real tho, THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I tested it on my driver's side door (yeah, I know, bad idea in retrospect LOL) and left it for 10 minutes, and it was clean as a whistle! I tried on shorter amounts of time on my other doors, and turns out it took really only 10 seconds or so. It’s amazing." —Kacie

Promising review: "What kind of sorcery is this?! I usually don’t expect too much from eye creams, but my goodness! This stuff works! I suppose depending on your issues it will work differently for everyone. My issue as I get older is purple under my eyes and a little bag under my left eye. I honestly didn’t think it would do much because of the low price, but the purple fades a little more every day AND my eye bag is gone! I bought a tube for my daughter, who also reports amazing results." —Yayakelley

"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn’t completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn’t feel cakey or like there’s a ton of product on." —K. Grant

Promising review: "As someone who has struggled with deep acne scarring and redness for years, I find that this has genuinely been a life changer for me. I literally walk past the mirror and think, 'who is that?!' 😭 I have to do a double-take because my skin has gotten so noticeably clearer and calmer looking. I’ve tried SO many products over the years, and this is one of the very few that actually made me see a real difference — fast... Sorcery in a bottle. Literal magic. I started noticing results within the same week of using it, and now I recommend it to everyone. Just get it!" —Mrs. G.

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes and two-packs).

The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved! Everything you need is on the pad already.

Promising review: "Sorcery! I was utterly amazed by the results. So simple, yet so very effective. One of my pups decided that upstairs, out of sight, was a good place to pee. No idea how long the stains have been there, as I don't venture up very often. Opened the package, laid it down, stepped on it several times, and just out of curiosity lifted the pad up to peek at it. No more stain, but the pad had turned yellow. WHAT in the WORLD?! I will agree that they are a little on the small side, but the ease of use more than makes up for it, IMO. I will never be without these!" —Kelly O.

Just spray and wipe — or leave it on for up to two minutes for caked-on messes.

Promising review: "I wish I took before and after pictures, but honestly, I didn’t expect it to work. Let me tell you, this product is SORCERY. I’m moving, and I had cabinets and a fridge I needed to clean that were filthy. The spills were caked on, think fridge spills that never got cleaned, and seasonings / etc that spilled and had formed just the grossest gunk. I was certain I wasn’t going to get the stains out of the fridge and cabinets. I sprayed the product and let sit for two minutes, and I knew it was working because the foam had visibly lifted the gunk and grime. I simply wiped with a paper towel, and EVERYTHING came off. No scrubbing and no damage. You NEED this for your kitchen!!!!!" —Amber A.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "Magic in a box. This is a thicker, jelly-like mask (not those paper-thin ones that are soaked in serum). It comes in two separate pieces, upper and lower half, which makes it more customizable in terms of fitting your face. I was a little skeptical at first, like how could this really be that different than other sheet masks? But the first time I used it, the next day I noticed the deep wrinkle in my forehead was so much smoother! About a week after using it the first time, I also had someone tell me I looked refreshed and well-rested. I immediately bought more!! 😂 There doesn’t seem to be a smell/scent to it, and it comes in a pack of four." —michelsl

Promising review: "Y’all I am 60 and these collagen overnight masks are amazing. Photo was taken after the second use with almost a week between treatments. Is my skin not….dare I say…..“Dewey”??? On a scale of “Throw it in the Fire and Burn it to the Ground” to “What is This Sorcery”, this mask gets the WiTS rating. Will definitely continue to use! Win-win." —MyReviewPosts

Promising review: "Game changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! The first time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, 2x a day, my skin is so much brighter. Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since. It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." —Np

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 reviews: "These eye drops are amazing. SORCERY. My eyes are chronically dry and ALWAYS red. No matter what. I always look tired. I have just put these eye drops [in and] I have N E V E R seen my eyes so white and crisp. It’s weird and so cool." —Lash Lash

"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." —Angela Leonard

Promising review: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don’t know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you’ve been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." —A

Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle.

"Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Promising reviews: "This must be sorcery. This soap is like magic! Give it just two to three days, and you will start seeing results. After two weeks, all of the darks on my body and intimate areas are more than halfway gone. Definitely will recommend!" —Messy

"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I’m usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne Jerkins

Promising review: "Absolute sorcery! My son locked our kitten in his room overnight, and an accident happened. I smelled it as soon as I walked into his room in the morning…I hate cat pee smell…so I was upset. I tried cleaning with my home carpet cleaner and even hired a carpet cleaning guy $100 bucks just to spot clean the area — it still smelled. I got this spray today, and let me tell you…it worked! I’m pretty sure I’m part bloodhound with this nose of mine, so I’m not nose blind to cat pee smell (although I wish I was), and so when I tell you the smell is gone, it’s gone." —Renee B.

Promising review: "Y’all… I was ready to name this nose bump and start charging it rent because it wasn’t going anywhere. I was 99.9% sure it was about to keloid... Then I got this stuff. I used it twice a day, and within ONE… maybe TWO days, that thing was flat as West Texas in the summertime. Like — gone. Vanished. Evicted without notice. My only regret? Not taking a before-and-after pic to prove the magic. I’ve wasted money on other 'miracle' piercing products before, but this one is the real deal. All-natural, smells nice, no sting — just pure sorcery. If you’ve got a bump trying to ruin your piercing, buy this now. Don’t wait. Your skin will thank you." —Robert P.

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower is a huge fan of this salve: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great for sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

Promising review: "My oldest tattoo is 38 years old. I have always protected them with sunscreen, but not as directed. I developed a severe gluten intolerance; that stuff is everywhere! Mad Rabbit is clean and vegan. Well, it's also pure sorcery! I dare anyone to tell me which of my tattoos is the oldest, even after one application. It goes on as a balm. A little goes a long way. Works with your body heat. Disregard the light oily feel. It absorbs into your skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and looking vibrant." —Placeholder

Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect, and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Promising reviews: "What is this sorcery? I've only used this product for two weeks, but I love it so far! I am [an] excessive sweater and ruin all my light colored shirts. This stuff keeps me dry during inactivity and reduces the sheer amount of sweat when I get hot or work out. I haven't had ANY sweat stains on my shirts (not when working out) since starting this product. It worked immediately (well, recommended next day with nighttime application). I can't wait to tell all my sweaty friends." —Hil

Promising review: "What amazing sorcery! I originally saw an ad for this on TV and decided to see what the reviews said on Amazon before making any decisions. With an an average of 4 stars with 8,000+ reviews and a reasonable price, I figured I had nothing to lose. I was right!

My before pictures are so embarrassing but necessary to demonstrate the amazing sorcery of this product. There’s about 3.5 weeks between the before and after photos. I followed the instructions to a T and am still using it, as the bottle says it can take up to a couple of months for optimal results. So far, I’m extremely pleased! I will say it does take a while to dry, so I’d recommend allowing ample time for it to work its magic before putting on socks/shoes/slippers or climbing into bed." —h4z31nu7m3g
