#14 If Your Skin Is Just Not Having A Moment, The Octopus Pore Scrubber Is Stepping In For Some Emergency Help
Review: "Small, cute and makes your skin feel soft and clean. Kind of rough like sandpaper, but leaves skin feeling really nice. Takes a couple seconds of rubbing at first to start feeling the rough texture. Be patient. I have really sensitive skin, especially around my nose and on my cheeks, but I only experienced a tiny bit of redness a few minutes after using. No stinging or burning whatsoever. Easy to hold and to keep in the shower. Haven’t notice any obvious change in blackheads on my face, but it sure exfoliates great enough to buy again. I do wish it was bigger, but other than that, NO COMPLAINTS. :)" - Meezal

#16 Those Shoes That Have Developed Their Own Funky Personality Can Have It Gently Exorcised By A Shoe Deodorizer
Review: "No more stinky soccer cleats!!! My 11 year old’s cleats were ridiculously stinky! After sitting in a car for an hour and a half on our way home from a soccer game with his funky cleats, I was determined to find a solution to the smell! Within days of using these inserts I told every parent on our soccer team about them. I told my son to put the inserts in his cleats as soon as they come off his feet and to throw the inserts into his soccer bag when he puts the cleats on. This routine has eliminated all the nasty smells from his bag as well! It also ensures he doesn’t lose them. I added a picture to show their size compared to a side 5.5 boys soccer cleat. We’ve had the inserts for around 3-4 weeks and they’re still going strong. My entry way no longer smells terrible when he takes his cleats off by the door. I would highly recommend!" - Smiley

#17 When Your 'I'm Just Concentrating' Face Has Decided To Become Your Permanent Face, Some Forehead And Between The Eyes Facial Patches Can Help It Take A Vacation
Review: "These patches are great! While they don't smell the best, my sensitive skin has never had a reaction and I know it's due to the natural and limited ingredients. I have tried many masks that help with fine lines but these actually help restrict muscle movement to reduce the cause of wrinkles rather than a cream or serum that simply adds moisture to the skin. Would definitely recommend!" - Gabriel Wonderling
