Before you completely throw in the towel on resolving that *one* body thing you've always dealt with...try one of these.
1. O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand creambecause dry skin doesn't just go away because the weather is warming up, and if you work with your hands, probably never. This restorative cream helps transform and soothe dry, cracked skin with a protective moisture layer that delivers hydrating relief.
Promising review: "My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions and paint on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the the product. I've tried it and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands and my fingertips are well on the way towards healing....and this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony and money." —Desert D.

Promising review: "... For many years I’ve been plagued by annoying and debilitating chafing on my upper inner thighs. This issue is so aggravating and painful any time I try to be more active, working hard, and a constant problem when the weather is hot. 🥵I’ve tried literally EVERYTHING with minimal to no success. I just read about this product online and decided to give it a try. From day one I have had zero chafing issues. For me it’s a miracle product. Super easy to apply. Just like a stick deodorant. It stays put with no mess all day. It has no odor or color. It’s perfect. My sincerest thanks to Body Glide for developing this miracle product. You’re a lifesaver." —JimmyD

Promising review: "Y'all!!!! This stuff is ah-may-zing!!! I had tried everything to get rid of my bad breath due to dry mouth from my medication: Listerine, 3 kinds of tongue scrapers, new toothpaste, drinking a ton of water, everything! And nothing worked. I decided to try this after reading about it on BuzzFeed, and damn am I glad I did! The first time I used it there was some light burning, but way better than Listerine, and WOW!!! I could IMMEDIATELY tell the difference. My breath was so so fresh. I even put on my mask and for the first time, wasn't embarrassed and offended by the way my breath smelled. If you're questioning whether or not to try it, DO IT, you will not regret it." —Megan

Promising review:"I’m a body waxer, I sweat ALL day. By the end of the day, I can smell myself. My clients can smell me, and even my husband when I get home. It’s embarrassing AF. I’ve tried Lumé, Native, Men’s deodorant, baby powder, practically everything on the market. I was about to drop a couple hundreds to get the Botox under my pits but luckily I bought this! I have noticed a COMPLETE change! I don’t smell like BO. I don’t smell like anything. I followed the directions and it worked out so well for me. Goodbye nasty smelling pits!!

As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!
Promising review: "For many years excessive underarm perspiration has been a daily problem for me. I've tried a number of non-prescription and prescription products (roll-ons, sprays), techniques, and about everything else that seemed remotely legitimate which I came across. None of it had any lasting effect that was acceptable... I had been getting closer and closer to getting 'MiraDry treatment'. It seemed like a long shot, but compared to the MiraDry option it seemed worth it. I have been using the SweatBlock wipes for four months now, and without overstating it the product has changed my life... No more wiping sweat away during the day, certainly not sweating through shirts, and all that from a product that takes less than a minute to apply. I haven't experienced any irritation or other negative effects. I'm sure it can sound a little too good to be true, but it's been one of those miracle products for me." —Shaun

8. Medicated, waterproof bandagesto help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin if freezing hasn't been giving you the results you want. Over 38,000 customers have rated it 5-stars for its jaw-dropping results (some after just one application)!
Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed...It felt like I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it and on a whim tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later the wart just came off.I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life.Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

9. A cradle cap combfor any new parents wondering how to rid their precious baby's irritated scalp of truly terrifying (but completely normal) dead skin. This comb is designed with soft rubber bristles to gently remove the flakes and give your bub a soothing massage at the same time.
New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — akaseborrheic dermatitis— is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants.
Promising review:"My little girl is 10 months and has had a head full of hair since birth. I tried everything I could find to help with her cradle cap. Shampoos, oils, Vaseline (which took almost three days to get out...don't use Vaseline on a full head of hair!)... I thought this was gimmicky because I could just use a fine tooth comb I had. Tried that and my daughter hated it. I finally broke down and bought this brush and I really wish I would have gotten it months ago. After one use, 99% of the flakes were gone. I waited for her hair to dry a little and I combed out the little bit that remained. I will recommend this to any parent that struggles with cradle cap!" —Lindsay Desselle
Get it from Amazon for $4.19.
10. Foot exfoliating peel masks, which must be magic considering the way dead skin flakes off after one application, eventually leaving you with feet softer than when you were born, TBH. Is the peeling skin process gross? Definitely, but over 49,000 5-star ratings prove it's worth it.
Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel (or be totally grossed out) at the layers of dead skin peeling off your feet over the next couple of weeks.
Promising review:"I’ve tried EVERYTHING over the years trying to get my feet decent. I had severe amounts of thick, dry, cracked skin on my feet and this stuff DOES THE WORK. Literally the best AND easiest form of foot care I’ve used, period. First time I used it, my skin was so bad it came off in like… Chunks. Waited a couple of months, tried again, and now here we are. It’s peeling like I’ve seen others, instead of chunky thick. And MY GOODNESS the feet are so beautiful, I don’t think I’ve seen my feet look this nice since I was a child! 😭 Will definitely use this every so often for good." —Jessica

Promising review:"This went above and beyond anything I was expecting for callus removal. I’ve tried filing, foot masks, foot peels, moisturizers, everything to get rid of constant deep seeded cracks in my heals. Eventually after many uses of various products, I eventually reduce the cracks, but this product did in one use what normally takes me at least 3–4 other products to get the same results. Of anything I’ve ever reviewed on Amazon this is by far the best product! 100/10. Instructions are simple and easy to follow." —Andrea P.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99(available in three scents).
12. Astainless steel foot fileto use in tandem with the above gel, which only requires a little elbow grease to tackle those crusted and calloused feet once and for all (or at least regularly). You can skip the costly pedis and make a spa day out of it from the comfort of your home!
Promising review: "I have tried so many products to help with the hard skin that builds up and cracks on my feet. Files, pumice, soaks, creams, lotions, brushes, I mean I've tried EVERYTHING. This file is simple, fast, and effective. It's sharper than most foot tools which is great because most tools are too wimpy to work on really hard calluses. It has a large surface area and a handle that's easy to hold. This is the pedicure tool I've been looking for and needing my whole life. If you've tried every pedicure tool under the sun and found them ineffective — try this. It works." —Jen

Promising review: "Tried EVERYTHING!!! Nothing worked except this!!! This product is great!!! My lips were always so dry and chapped that I developed a terrible habit of biting my lips because the dried skin was unbearable. I’d bite them to the point of pain and even bleeding. I tried Vaseline, all types of lip balm and then I saw the reviews on this and ordered it. After using it for only one night so far, this is the first time for an entire day that I did not have to bite the dried skin off my lips. It’s a Godsend!!! Love love love it!!! I look forward to having normal lips now…lol." —Pommie79

Promising review: "My nails have been peeling for the last couple of years. I have tried everything I could find and nothing helped until I tried this. I would have my at least two nails peel on a daily basis. I bought this product and I use it three times a day as instructed and I haven't had any peeling at all. I would highly recommend this product." —Nancy J. Steffes

Promising reviews:"This is the first Amazon review I’ve ever written. I’ve been using this oil for less than a week and I’ve noticed SIGNIFICANT improvement in the quality of my skin. I’ve had deep stretch marks for over 10 years now as a result of puberty and have tried everything to improve their appearance. Nothing had worked until this! After only a few days of use, my old white stretch marks are looking less noticeable. I’ve also had dark spots on my thighs as a result of ingrowns and razor burn for years as well and those are fading with incredible speed. I will definitely be purchasing this again!" —Torie
"My daughter got bit by a dog over the summer and we tried EVERYTHING to help with her scars. The day after we started using Bio-Oil the redness started to disappear. Now after only three weeks, some of the minor scars are gone and the more major scars are visually reducing day by day!" —Hvej

Promising reviews: "Definitely worth the money. I’ve tried everything out there for ingrown hairs/razor burn. This is by far the best thing I’ve found that actually works and it smells good." —Lauren
"Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." —Megan Harmeyer
Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes).
17. Orrr a bottle of Tend Skin Solutionfor anyone plagued by irritating ingrown hairs and razor burn. This product helps reduce the appearance of redness and bumps in the area, making it a no-brainer addition to your shaving routine.
The main ingredient in this solution is isopropyl alcohol, so there's a bit of a sting to it, but some reviewers say it's worth the relief. No pain, no gain? (Of course, I come from a family who puts isopropyl alcohol oneverything, so I kinda like it.)
Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I’m not one to leave a review about many products but I saw a review on this product that made me buy it and I thought it was only fair to pay it forward! I’ve dealt with horrendous ingrown hairs for years! I’ve tried everything to minimize them, expensive wax packages and expensive serums and creams, plucking, not shaving — you name it I tried it. This product has literally put everything I’ve tried to shame! For the price it was so worth it! I’ve been using it for about a month everyday after I get out of the shower...I haven’t gotten an ingrown since and the ones I had healed! The smell is kind of strong but so are the results. I also have pretty sensitive skin and I was worried about using it after I shave/wax, burns a lil bit but it didn’t cause a flare-up. Can’t wait to not be insecure at the beach this summer!" —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+(available in three sizes).
18. A box of dentist-recommendedCrest whitening stripsthat only take 30 minutes of treatment each time, but with continued use can remove up to 20 years of stains from your teeth. Think of all the things you can do for 30 minutes with your mouth shut...and now think about doing them whilealso cleaning your teeth. Why not be a multitasking genius with pearly whites?!
Each pack includes 44 30-minute treatments, and 2 hour-long treatments.
Promising review:"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! After years of drinking coffee, I decided to stop because my teeth were getting yellow. I tried EVERYTHING (except for professional whitening because who has money for that?). I tried home remedies and several cheap whitening strips. Although these strips are slightly pricy, THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY. In just three uses my teeth were bright white, I was getting compliments on them all the time! I didn't even have to use them all back to back, I ended up saving the rest for when I felt I needed them again. They fit comfortably, nothing like the trays (with saliva dripping down your throat the entire dreadful 30 minutes, YUCK!). No, theses stick to your teeth. You can talk with them in and not have to worry about being uncomfortable. Although they are for 30 minute wear, they also come with 1 hour express strips which are a lot stronger if you want a quick whitening session before a big event. These are the only product I have ever found that works on my teeth, and are definitely worth the money." —Susan Waddington

Promising review:"A moisturizer that finally works when everything else failed! Finally a moisturizer that doesn’t burn, sting, or irritate my skin. I’ve had super-sensitive skin all my life, especially on my face, and I am 46 years old. I have finally found the one lotion that doesn’t irritate my face. I am day two into using the cleanser and the moisturizer, and you have no idea how great it is for my face not to burn and turn bright red — just fantastic!!!! The moisturizer is a bit thick so you don’t need a lot; even though it’s a little higher priced it’ll last forever, and it’s worth it when you have super-sensitive skin. FAN FOR LIFE!!!" —Alisa Griffey

20. Awildly popularNizoral anti-dandruff shampoothat effectively helps provide relief for itchy scalps while fighting dandruff. Now, every time you scratch your head or brush hair out of your face, you don't have to be worried about leaving flakes behind!
The brand recommends using it every three to four days for up to eight weeks for best results.
Promising review: "I almost need to pinch myself. I have had terrible dandruff most of my adult life (very used to shaking out my shirt 10+ times a day, and more I'm wearing a darker shaded shirt). I've tried all the different shampoos and at home remedies. Everything seemed to make the flaking worse. I never let the dandruff embarrass me, though sometimes I wondered just how many people noticed. I was pretty used to bowing my head down, running my hand through my hair and seeing a snow storm emerge, falling to the floor (gross I know). Anyway, that is NO LONGER. After three weeks of using Nizoral twice per week, the dandruff is like, gone. Gone gone. It didn't just help the problem, it straight up deleted the problem. I'm almost in disbelief. Anyway, after 15 years of dandruff problems, I now consider Nizoral liquid GOLD (if gold could cure dandruff). Cheers!" —Glenn

Promising review:"I have been using this product for 30 days now and my bootie is finally acne free! I've tried everything! I suffer from little spots to deep painful large cystic type and it's uncomfortable and embarrassing! Started when my thyroid condition got more severe, but I've always suffered hormonal break outs on my bottom! I used to think better on my butt than my face but some were so huge and painful! Now it's getting better and better! Use as directed and you will see results! Be patient if you know you've had an issue for a while! Even my scars are lightening up! A bit sticky but it really works!" —Rochelle Cabana

22. A dermatologist-recommendedantiperspirant hand lotionto help reduce hand sweat that might be making everyday things difficult, like writing, opening jars — basically anything that requires dry hand friction. All it takes is a pea-sized amount to help reduce that wet, clammy feeling.
Promising review: "I honestly never write reviews, but I had to for anyone who is struggling with excessive sweating in the hands! This stuff seriously works! I have had hyperhydrosis since I was a teen and have tried everything from drug store sprays to prescription creams with no success. Some of them left my hands burning or cracking, some sweatier than before. And most of them were a hassle to use, between drying time and having to keep my hands covered. Anyways, this cream is literally magic in a tube. ...you use this stuff like twice a day and soon you’ll start to notice your hands aren’t sweating at all throughout the day. It is most definitely a gradual decrease of sweat, but pretty soon, it takes it away all together." —Mekenzie Christy

Promising review: "Tried everything so I thought a piece of what looks like plastic wouldn’t work! I’ve had ingrown toenails for over 30 years. Had a podiatrist cut the outer edge and kill the nail root. Let me just say that procedure was painful! A podiatrist sanded down my nail, prescribed fungus medications and I was ready to tell them to just remove the entire nail when I saw this product. I honestly didn’t think it would work but thought about the pain of removing my toenail and gave it a try! So happy I did!" —Cari A.
