Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks, refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki

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

Promising review: "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

Of course, this is not an overnight miracle product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day. Nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then, in the second week, it started to totally disappear, so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno

Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little to show for it. I use this as a pre-treatment on the scalp and ends before I wash my hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" —Claire Blanchard
"I hardly write reviews.. but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, with the FIRST application, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week.. just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this.. hats off!!" —Dee

The silicone material means these kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water.
Intimate Rose is a small business specializing in FDA-approved pelvic floor trainers and exercisers, as well as supplements for feminine wellness.
Promising review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program, you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady Tauber

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based family-owned small business specializing in weeding tools.
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that my husband and I bought our first house and knew nothing about caring for a yard, and 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 weed 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." —JG

Promising review: "I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool. Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort, but the end result was so worth it!" —Shelley Arakaki

I apply morning and evening, before bed, for optimal results. It goes on smoothly and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement.

Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products, so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams

Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helena

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

I've been using this stuff for almost a decade, and I'm v v v excited people are finally getting hip and talking about it! I used to have horribly waxy ears, and I was prone to ear infections as an adult, so I wanted to make sure my ears were as clear as possible all the time. Ever since I started using this — which, the first time, the crackling of the solution and the wax in your ear may startle you, but it's normal — my ears have been practically wax-free, to the point where even my doctors are impressed! If you don't believe me, just check out the customer reviews to see the GOBS of earwax being removed from people's ear canals. 🤢
Promising review: "I knew I had earwax buildup problems when my hearing would randomly become muffled and wouldn't unblock for 2–3 days. I started applying the drops twice daily, with a warm-water bulb flush once a day. On the first day, only a small amount of wax came out, but the earwax buildup was dissolving. On the second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled all day, but when I did an ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out, and my hearing was restored. I continued the treatment for both ears, and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the earwax as well. By the fourth day, all of the built-up earwax was cleared out, and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected, as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" —RnG

Promising review: "I really didn’t know which teeth whitening kit to go with, but after much research from different platforms, I decided to go with this one. And it did not disappoint! I like how the instructions are so easy and clear to read and understand! The awesome packaging is a major plus as well. My favorite part is the built-in timer, and there’s no long wire, so I can walk around and do things while it’s working its magic!" —Mayra

Just FYI, reviewers report it leaves a white cast, so if you have darker skin (or care about your sunscreen's finish), this may not be the best option for you. Also, several reviewers say it works great as a makeup primer!
Promising reviews: "I’ve been using the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen, and it’s become a staple in my routine. As someone with sensitive skin, I really appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and uses zinc oxide, providing great protection without causing any irritation or breakouts. It goes on smoothly, isn't overly greasy, and the water-resistance holds up well for outdoor activities. The smart cap technology is a nice touch, too. Highly recommended if you’re looking for effective, non-irritating sun protection." —Jeff S.
"You really have to rub it in for a long time to remove all the white streaks, but it works great. I was at a five-hour event in the sun. I lathered on a fairly thick layer at the beginning of the day, and completely forgot to reapply. As a person who burns easily, I can say I was impressed that I barely even got a tan after so many hours." —Joe

Promising review: "What is this sorcery? Okay, so I’m not gonna lie. I thought all of the before-and-after pics were fake, but I was desperate, so I bought this stuff anyway. I had been dealing with an irritating bump for almost three months that I couldn’t get rid of, so I did some research and tried a variety of home remedies, none of which worked. Then I stumbled upon the Briotech spray and saw the before and after pictures and wanted soooo badly to believe them. I also didn’t want to get my hopes up, so I wrote them off as fake. I bought this stuff anyway (again, I was desperate) and I’m SO glad I did. I bought it on Sept. 5, and my bump (which was huge and awful) was completely gone on Sept. 25. I’m still in shock that it worked, but I’m so happy it did. Buy this! Stick with it, and I promise you won’t regret it!" —iamericadelaney

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month with me religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

I definitely recommend it, and I will be purchasing another really soon." —Tasha Stewart

"I bought these for my very first cruise. It was a five-day cruise that had a bit of rough water the first two days out to sea. I was a little bit wary as to whether these would keep 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!! I just wish they came in prettier colors!" —EA99

BTW, the brand recommends purchasing the $10 Aura sizing kit to make sure you get the ring that fits! And then, after purchasing, you'll receive a $10 credit on the actual ring.
Promising reviews: "Prepare to know everything. I ordered the kit first to make sure I sized it correctly and have zero regrets. It fits nicely, and the insights it gives have helped me to make small adjustments in my daily life. Improved sleep patterns from the insights it has provided, stress and heart rate monitoring, and I was even able to connect it to my constant glucose meter for even more insights into how my activity and food are affecting my glucose levels. I scan my meals in the app for nutrition feedback, and the get up and start moving messages have been effective in getting me more active as well. I have raved so much about it that two coworkers have bought one and love it too." —Nisha
"Even though it’s a bit bulky, I honestly don’t notice it once it’s on. The data is very impressive. What stood out to me most was the early warning aspect. For about two days before I had any obvious symptoms, the ring kept showing messages about something straining my body. At the time, I felt mostly fine, but the data clearly showed my body wasn’t recovering the way it normally does. A couple of days later, symptoms surfaced, and I ended up in the ER. Looking back, it was surprisingly accurate and eye-opening. It’s also compatible with the glucose tracker Stelo, which you can order directly through the Oura app. The integration is straightforward. I definitely recommend sizing before you buy, as comfort really matters with a ring you wear 24/7." —Elena B

If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Promising reviews: "I have coarse, wavy, and some parts really curly, color-treated hair. This is perfect to control frizz and bond those dried-out hairs. Really feels so nice and smooth. Great deal on it this time. 👏" —Christine Goodman
"10/10 definitely buy it if you're on the fence like I was! I was so hesitant because of the size of the bottle and price, but I will buy it over and over again! I have colored hair with some bleached areas where blonde has been added, and my hair really felt lackluster and in need of some repair. After the very first use, I noticed a huge difference. I've used it six times now, and I couldn't be happier; my hair is so soft, and the brittle/damaged bleached areas feel and look soft and lifelike again! I wet my hair pretty well, lightly towel dry, then saturate my hair with the Olaplex and leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse and wash my hair as usual (I don't use the Olaplex shampoo or conditioner). I love! it. Again, if you're looking and are unsure, just buy it and try!" —Public Name

I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne, so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! If you are willing to wait for the results, then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time), the acne does come back! So I would use it for a while after the skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for the summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" —Anonymous

That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but I hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend it when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne, and hyperpigmentation.

I've always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit, and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night haven't been cutting it.

The applicator is genius — it goes on so easily. And I've NEVER had a dry shampoo last like this for DAYS! It's easy to work with my fingers, and it is a wonderful volumizer.
