Don't get turned off by the reference of snails. This snail mucin serum is beloved by both celebrities and Amazon reviewers for its ability to moisturize and target wrinkles. One person on Amazon even said, "It feels like you had a facelift without the surgery!"

Bissell's handheld carpet and upholstery cleaner went viral on social media because of its ability to remove a disgusting amount of dirt from rugs, car upholstery and more.
