Acne Patches
Mighty Patches use hydrocolloid to absorb pus-filled blemishes overnight without picking or popping.
“I’m so happy I got these. I have been dealing with a stubborn pimple on my leg and it has been hurting so bad. I didn’t want to touch it and try to pop it because it’s sensitive to touch. I cleaned the area and placed this patch on and when I woke up the next morning, it was white and ready to be pulled out! I put one more on the next day just to get any leftovers out and ugh it worked like a dream without the pain! Get some!!”
XL Surface Mighty Patches
XL Surface Mighty Patches cover multiple pimples on jawline, back, or neck with hydrocolloid overnight.
“Amazing! I was using a number of little patches on large areas and they just didn’t work that well. I put this patch on my chin and left it over night and was extremely pleased with the results. I had two little pimples and a bunch of hard-to-get blackheads. My chin has never been more clear.”
Purple Shampoo Trio

Jergens Star-Shaped Lotion
Jergens star-shaped lotion bursts for easy application without slippery bottles.
“OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin.”
Foot Callus Remover Gel

“Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective.”
Revlon Volcanic Face Roller
Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller delivers instant matte finish without blotting.
“First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face.”

Dark Spot Corrector Bar Soap
Dark spot corrector bar soap uses retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E to even skin tone.
“I’m big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I’ve tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!!”
Stainless-Steel Blackhead Spatula
Stainless-steel blackhead spatula unclogs pores with high-frequency vibrations.
“Life changing! I’m obsessed with this product! I’ve tried a lot of different extraction tools, even bought a different sucker-type one several months ago that didn’t do anything. This is amazing and makes my skin so smooth after.”
Hard As Hoof Nourishing Cream
Hard As Hoof nourishing cream conditions cuticles and promotes nail growth.
