Promising review: "I live with chronic lower back discomfort and the Icy Hot combo is perfect for me. The original made it hard for me to fall asleep because of how intense it was, but it was perfect for the day. The Nighttime Recovery was able to help me relax and get to sleep peacefully and without distraction. Great combo!" —Squid

Promising review: "Love this setting spray for the price and the SPF protection. It leaves a dewy finish and makes my makeup last all day! I put it on after I finish my makeup, but it would also be good as a primer." —AMel065

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (also available in other finishes, styles, and multipacks).

Promising review: "This is my favorite deodorant. It works very effectively for controlling sweat and odor for all day, regardless of activity level. The deodorant scent is mild and a nice, fresh and clean scent- not overpowering or perfumey at all. It goes on smoothly and clear and dries very quickly. I have sensitivity to many other brands and varieties of deodorant but not at all with this one." —HK09

I really can't say enough nice things about Brick. I've seen it hyped all over social media, but honestly? I thought it would be just like every other productivity app I've tried, which frankly makes it way too easy for me to turn off. The physical barrier of needing to go to an actual physical location to unblock my phone has been huge, and I'm literally NEVER going back. Plus, it looks kinda cute on my fridge. 10/10 recommend for you *and* anyone on your gifting list who could use a lil' less phone time.

Promising reviews: "Exactly what I needed to stop doomscrolling whenever I start to get bored. Boredom is good! I love the simplicity of the product, and the size is convenient enough that I can throw it in a bag if I feel that I need it on the go. For now, it will live on the fridge because I can't help but use a good magnet." —Eugenia Kritsuk

"Got the Brick because I couldn't find anything that was helping me with my screen time. Over the past two months of having it, my screen habits have changed A TON. I am on my phone way less and am living in the moment a lot more than I used to. It's so helpful to Brick my phone before leaving the house, and whether it's to go to work, hang out with friends, etc., it is making my everyday moments so much better. Couldn't recommend this product enough to people." —Scott

Promising review: "Wish I had purchased this sooner. This lotion feels great on my skin, and I am starting to see an improvement on my neck. I will continue to purchase this item." —Patty

Promising review: "I’ve been using this collagen cream for a few weeks now, and wow — my face has never felt this hydrated! The texture is rich but not heavy, and it sinks into the skin beautifully without leaving any greasy residue. Perfect for both day and night. I have combination skin, and this cream somehow manages to hydrate the dry areas while keeping the oily zones balanced. My skin looks more plump and smooth, and I’ve even noticed a subtle glow in the mornings — like I actually got a full night’s sleep! The collagen boost feels like it’s doing real work — my face feels firmer, and those fine lines around my mouth and forehead are looking softer already. It also layers really well under makeup, which is a huge plus." —Amazon Customer

This TikTok of the Wet and Forget shower cleaner will make you see why it's one of the easiest ways to clean your shower.

Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe, but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ

Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913. 

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush onto the gem to clean!

Promising reviews: "Saw this product on TikTok (I know lol). I didn’t think my ring was that dirty as I haven’t had it for a year yet, and it wasn’t until my wedding band came in that I realized how dirty my ring was. One quick clean with this and my ring looks better than brand new! Will be repurchasing when this one runs out." —David Barnes

"Once I rinsed my stone, the original sparkle was revealed; it looked just like the day I received it! Even the silver mounting was left shiny and undamaged. My ring is not expensive by any stretch by the imagination, but this cleaner made it look like a million!" —Joyce S.

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.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review: "Not gonna lie, I saw this product on TikTok and thought I’d give it a try. Truly the best eyedrops I’ve ever bought. The pictures speak for themselves. That was within one minute." —Levi 

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." —Therese-Claire

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

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." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

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. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot 

My mom says I can play Monster Leaf Scooper if your mom says it's okay.

Promising review: "We have a very large wooded property that requires a lot of leaves and sticks to be raked up. We have tried various brands of leaf scoops, but most have lasted only one season. Since purchasing the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops, my job has been much easier. First of all is the way your hands grasp the scoops. These are much more ergonomic and are actually like extensions of your own hands. Second, these are very sturdy and do not bend when trying to pick up a pile of sticks and debris. We have made it through the season so far without issue. Next will be the dreaded fall cleanup. I highly recommend the ReLeaf Leaf Scoops, which make our yard, woods, and garden cleanup easier." —trouble54

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but I am already in love with whatever sorcery is in this bottle! This was a TikTok-influenced buy, so I was skeptical. When I got the product, I was having a horrible breakout with a HUGE irritated pimple in the crevice of my nose, and after two days of using it before and after work, it’s gone! It immediately helped the redness and irritation as well, and I'm blown away! After less than a week, my breakout has almost cleared up completely." —Catherine bunch

Promising review: "This potty seat cover has been amazing for our toddler during potty training and now after. I am relieved not to have to have him sit on gross toilets when out in public, and it's more comfortable for him without fear of him falling into the toilet. It's also nice when traveling if you are in a hotel or Airbnb. It folds up so easily and is nice and compact, so you can take it with you anywhere. It is also easy to clean! Highly recommend." —Whitney 

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: "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. I 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

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three scents).

Promising review: "I was very hesitant at first to buy this. My sweat issues are HORRIBLE. I can be driving down the road and sweat will just run down my arms. Ruins all my shirts. Nothing helped, Secret, Dove, none of those clinical brands worked. Well Carpe, I am very satisfied. Use it right and it will work. I use it every night on clean dry underarms. I have used it wrong before and still kinda works but best results are when you use it by the directions! I don’t sweat much at all anymore! Nothing through my shirts. Good product!" —Jackie

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.97 (available in eight scents and an unscented version).

Promising review: "I’ve been pretty impressed with this cream. I have hyperhydrosis which mostly affects my hands and feet. I take an oral medication fort condition but I still have sweating sometimes which is why I decided to try this lotion. I’ve been using this product mostly on my feet about three times a week for a little over a month now. This cream has a slight smell but it’s nothing awful at all. I’ve noticed a little bit goes a long way. Before bed I put the cream on the bottoms on my feet. It doesn’t really leave any residue. It almost makes my feet instantly feel dry. I have definitely noticed that it helps maintain minimal sweating without any crazy side effects. I’ve also used this on my hands as well. This is a product that actually does help with my hyperhidrosis and I’ll definitely be ordering more when I run out!" —Lauren p.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents).

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder. It blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in a refill size). 

Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn, even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree, zero-clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen, and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah, where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all, this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

Get a 16-count from Amazon for $16.48 (also available in packs of 32 and 48).

Promising review: "I highly recommend anyone purchase these!! I really enjoy washing my hands with quality soap, and this does the job; just one sheet is enough. I’m on the go a lot, traveling to the gym, different places, and I always use these sheets of soap, and they work perfectly. They’re the right size, very easy to travel with." —Robin Wilson

Get a 300-sheet pack from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 30 minutes, and then rinse.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both turned black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out completely, without even needing to scrub. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I primarily use to store my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. 

Promising review: "An absolute must-have for anyone prone to chafing. I’ve been using this product for a while now, and it has truly been a game changer. This anti-chafe stick is incredibly effective. The moment you apply it, it creates a smooth, protective barrier on your skin that prevents friction and discomfort. I can now walk, run, and wear skirts or dresses without worrying about painful chafing. The formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable.

One of the things I love most about the Megababe Thigh Rescue is its portability. The stick format makes it easy to apply on the go, and it’s compact enough to fit in my bag for touch-ups throughout the day. Plus, the ingredients are gentle and soothing, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. Overall, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is a fantastic product that lives up to its promises. It’s a must-have for anyone who experiences chafing and wants a reliable, effective solution. I highly recommend it!" —EVE

Promising reviews: "My old bulky steamer that my mom left me with freshman year kept setting off my dorm fire alarm, so I had to stop using it ages ago. No clue why it took me this long to get a Nori, but I LOVE it. So quick, so easy, and now my clothes actually look good and put together. Obsessed." —Nati

"As a college student who lives in a small dorm, I find that owning an iron or steamer is a hassle in a small space. An iron requires a board, and storage is limited in a tiny college dorm. I just had an event, and my dress arrived very wrinkled; I used my new Nori, which was so easy and efficient! My dress was wrinkle-free! The Nori Press is super lightweight and easy to store due to its small size. This is perfect for travel, too. I am taking it with me for my upcoming spring break trip. I highly recommend it for any college students, travelers, or anyone looking for an iron that's easy to use and store." —Laura Ward

Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in five colors).

Plus, it was created by a Black-owned small business! This works best for smaller packages of meat, and you have to cook it immediately. Read more about food safety and cold water thawing at the USDA. 

Promising review: "This is amazing. I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner. It works just as it says. Fill the sink with lukewarm water, put the thaw claw in, and put meat under the thaw claw. 15 minutes later....... Voila! Thawed. I use this every night. If you are debating......don't! Buy it now — you will not regret it." —Kristen

Promising review: "I wish I would have found these sooner. Melted off my plantar wart in four days. I've been pained by this thing for over a year, and this got rid of it quickly. I've been recommending it to all my friends!" —Domingo Douglas

It can last up to 80 hours, has three lighting colors, and is dimmable, too! 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this little gadget! I’m a total night owl, while my husband is an early riser — so when I want to stay up late reading next to him, I don’t want to disturb him with a big, bright room light. This book light is perfect! It clips securely onto my book and has three light settings: a cozy yellow, a bright white, and a cool blue-ish white. You can adjust the angle however you like, which makes it super comfy to read while lying in bed. One small but awesome feature: the light has just enough weight to help keep my paperback books open — no more fighting to hold the pages down! Plus, the charger is easy to use and portable, so I can take it anywhere. And the best part? I get to stay up late enjoying my spicy books without anyone knowing… well, except now you do! 10/10 would recommend!" —Yadira

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors and packs of one and four). 

Promising review: "My lips have been extremely dry this fall, to the point where they were cracking and stinging. I’ve tried a bunch of balms, but this one has been the most effective so far. It goes on smoothly, isn’t sticky, and actually stays on instead of disappearing after 10 minutes. Within two days, my lips felt soft again, and the peeling stopped. I like that it has no strong scent and doesn’t burn when my lips are already irritated. I’ll definitely keep one in my bag and one at home." —Bobby Gonzalez

DrTung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral-care products. 

Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn’t see much results, so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which in this case is a good thing ;-). I’m very happy with the quality of the product and the way in which this handy little tool performs. An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "My blooms lasted for three weeks with this copper heart. It’s not only beautiful, but it miraculously works! I could not believe how long the flowers my husband sent lasted. I usually get one week at best with plant food. Having fresh blooms around makes me calmer and happier. I am actually still in shock at how well this simple little copper heart worked. I felt like it warranted a 5-star review. A+ product!" —LPB

Promising review: "This product helped clear up an infected daith piercing within days and immediately began to shrink a bump that was forming. I cannot recommend this solution enough! It works so fast and so well to help soothe the area and heal irritated bumps. It is very moisturizing and lasts a long time." —Ania

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "I like this spray. It smells really good and it's small, but great to put in your purse in case you go into someone's house and use their bathroom and don't want to leave a smell. I love this brand so much, I went online and got a bigger bottle. I would highly recommend it because it really works great." —kiarakewna

Get it from Amazon for $4.97+ (available in larger sizes and multipacks).

Promising review: "The hard scraper does a great job of removing burnt on pieces while the scrubber and wipes are SO MUCH SAFER than traditional wire grill brushes. Cleanup is simple and you don't end up with a bunch of splatter on your clothes. I've been using this for years." —Mike

Get it from Amazon for $18.88+ (available in three pack sizes).

Promising review: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L
