With the amount of shady products for sale on the internet, it can be hard to buy something you can trust. Even the world’s biggest online store has been infiltrated with fakes, knockoffs, and counterfeit products that are at best simply annoying and at worst downright dangerous. Luckily, Amazon’s reviews feature makes it easier to suss out which products are worth your time and which ones are truly deserving of a 1-star review.
We looked through literally hundreds of items on Amazon (you’re welcome) to find 50 amazing products that have at least 1,000 5-star reviews. Note that this doesn’t mean these products’ reviews are all 5 stars on average, but of their many reviews, at least 1,000 of them give the product the highest marks possible.

[sol title=”Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay” subheader=”13,101 5-star reviews out of 18,218 total reviews – 4.4/5 average”]
If you’ve been on a beauty website at any point in, oh, the last five years, you’ve probably at least heard of the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask. Aztec Secret claims it’s the world’s most powerful facial and plenty of reviews—over 13,000 5-star reviews, in fact—seem to agree. It’s made of 100 natural calcium bentonite clay; Aztec Secret says that clays have been used since the time of Cleopatra as a natural beauty treatment. Who wouldn’t want to be like Cleopatra? (Well, minus the snake thing.)
The Aztec Secret clay, which comes from Death Valley, California, is meant to be used just five to 10 minutes at a time to cleanse your pores and draw out impurities. At under $10, it’s definitely worth a shot for a head-to-toe treatment.

[sol title=”Thayers Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera” subheader=”8,416 5-star reviews out of 10,645 total reviews – 4.5/5 average”]
We’ve written about Thayers before and we really do love it. It’s a cheap witch hazel toner that works on just about every skin type. In fact, it’s the favorite choice of 8,400 reviewers, who all gave it 5 stars on Amazon.
The best part about Thayers’ witch hazel is that it comes in alcohol-free varieties, so while the witch hazel will act as a natural and gentle astringent you may be looking for in a toner, you won’t have to deal with overly drying alcohol. Plus, the rose petal and aloe vera combination is divine and will definitely make you feel fancy.

There are plenty of $50+ vitamin C serums on the market but the 7,000 5-star reviews on this product don’t lie. It’s a plant-based formula you can feel comfortable wearing, knowing that its active botanical ingredients are safe for all skin types.

Skin oils are poppin’ these days, so it’s time for you to hop on the bandwagon. Bio-Oil was originally developed and dermatologist-tested for use on scars and stretch marks, but as oils for skin have become more popular, more and more people are buying it to help other skin issues, like dry skin, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It’s gotten a lot of love in the industry and on Amazon—3,600 people have given it 5 stars, which shows just how varied its uses (and fans) are.
It’s hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores), plus its many botanical ingredients—calendula, lavender, rosemary, and chamomile oils—are gentle on all skin types.

LilyAna Naturals manufactures this (beautifully packaged) rosehip and hibiscus eye cream at their FDA-registered and USDA organic–certified facility; it’s vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and smells incredible.

EltaMD is a huge player in the SPF game so when we saw that one of their sunscreens has over 3,000 total reviews—2,300 of which are 5 stars—we had to look into it further. It’s key to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen and this SPF 46 oil-free sunscreen checks all the boxes!
This sunscreen is derm-approved because it won’t clog pores or cause any sensitivity issues. On top of being the perfect choice for a daily sunscreen that’ll protect you from the sun’s rays, it also contains niacinamide, a skin-restoring ingredient, and hyaluronic acid that aids in moisture and hydration.

But from high-end choices that run $30+ a brush to more affordable drugstore sets, it can be hard to know which ones blend beautifully…and won’t shed worse than your furbaby.

Sheet masks can be a little controversial: Some people swear by them and mask five nights a week, while others think they’re a waste of time. If you haven’t made up your mind on the issue yet, this pack of 16 Dermal Korea sheet masks are the best way to test it for yourself—for under $11!
There are 16 different masks here, all targeted to a different issue, and the set has earned itself over 2,000 5-star reviews. Some of our favorites include the aloe mask, which soothes the skin; the charcoal mask, which sinks deep into your pores; the smail, which uses snail secretion extract (yes, from real snails) to aid skin cell regeneration; and the hyaluronate, which uses hyaluronic acid to seriously hydrate. And that’s only four! Try out these and the other four for yourself today—just don’t forget to let us know what you think.

We’re of the opinion that these COSRX Pimple Patches should have way more than 1,700 5-star reviews. They work a treat on acne that’s come to a head on the surface of the skin and can nearly clear up a breakout overnight.
They won’t work on under-the-skin acne, like cystic acne, and that seems to have been the source of some of the more negative reviews, but when used properly—and with reasonable expectations—these pimple patches just may become your new best friend.

Another winner on the Amazon charts (with 5 stars from almost 1,500 readers), Educated is one book that’s sure to take you out of your comfort zone and make you really examine that opportunities you’ve had in life. Westover was born into a secluded, religious family, was lightly “homeschooled” in topics of herbalism and midwifery, and experienced things no child should.
Though she didn’t step into a classroom until age 17, Westover ended up attaining a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and ended up getting her PhD from the University of Cambridge. Educated is a true story of tenacity, religion, socioeconomic class, access, resources, and feminism—and is an incredibly honest look at a life most of us could never imagine.

Look, we all love a cute shoulder bag for work: They’re stylish and they can go with you from office to dinner, but, well, they hurt. If you’re just using your bag for some light papers, you may not need anything more sturdy, but if you’re bringing your laptop with you to and from work, a backpack is where it’s at.
Not only is this choice from Mancro solid enough to keep your back and shoulders in-line, it is an organizer’s dream, so say 3,000 5-star reviews. With three main pockets (one of which is a separate, padded space just for your laptop), nine inner pockets, and two sealed outside pockets, you’ll have a space for everything you need day and night.

Babies are wriggly. Wet babies are wriggly and slippery. Giving a baby a bath can be a dangerous process if your little one likes to move and groove. Thankfully, most bathtubs have smooth surfaces…everywhere except the bath spout.
Protect your babe’s cranial integrity with this adorable whale bath spout cover. The thick but soft rubber is a much better alternative for an accidental head knock than the hard metal of a bath spout.

An egg cooker just sounds like one of those things you don’t really need, right? After all, you’ve probably got a stove. But once you try this egg cooker from Dash, you’ll see that you were wrong—oh, so wrong. An egg cooker may seem like a ridiculous purchase, but it is 100 percent worth all of the money in the world—we and 6,700 5-star reviewers say so.
You can hard boil, poach, or scramble up to six eggs at a time, and because Dash apparently loves us, you can also make omelets. All within minutes. And it has an auto shut-off feature. We especially like it in this cute aqua color!

[sol title=”Hamilton Beach 8-Cup Food Processor” subheader=”2,963 5-star reviews out of 4,454 total reviews – 4.2/5 average”]
First of all, you need to accept that for $40, you’re not getting a Vitamix. You’re just not. But for $40, you can still get a really great food processor. You can use food processors for things like chopping fruits and veggies, mixing sauces, grating cheese, and making soups and dips.
This processor comes with a stainless steel blade, two different speeds (plus a pulse setting), and the bowl and blades are dishwasher-safe. Forty dollars well spent, we say (and so do 3,000 people who rated it 5 stars).

If you don’t have a smart TV, you need the Amazon Fire TV Stick. If you do have a smart TV, you still need the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Smart TVs have come a long way (you know, since from not existing at all), but they still can’t do everything the Fire Stick can.
With the Fire Stick, you can access the old standards: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Spotify, and more, but you can also get access to over 500,000 movies and shows through Prime Video and individual channels’ apps.
I have a smart TV. Going forward, I will only buy smart TVs. But I’ll also make sure I always have a Fire Stick plugged into every TV I own. With over 138,000 5-star reviews, I don’t think I’m alone.

Unfortunately, our iPhones and Android phones don’t have the battery life of the Nokia bricks of the ’90s. (RIP, Snake.) We have to charge these puppies a lot. Thankfully, though, there are some seriously reliable portable chargers on the market, and it seems that Anker makes the best ones.
This little lipstick-sized one can fit in any bag or pocket and can charge most phones fully once after only charging itself for three to four hours. Anker does have larger, more powerful chargers, but we—and 18,000 5-star reviewers—like this one for its size, since how often are you out of the house long enough to need to charge your phone fully four times, anyway?

Whether you have an iPhone that got rid of the headphone jack (sigh) or you’ve just yanked your headphones out of your laptop when jamming a bit too hard, it’s time to look into Bluetooth headphones. Mpow says that “impressive sound quality is the ultimate goal” and reviews seem to agree that they’ve achieved that goal. Additionally, you can get 13 hours of listening time on these and they charge fairly quickly.
Sure, intense audiophiles might need something a bit more fancy, but for us regular folk who are content listening to the new Ariana Grande album at normal quality (run, don’t walk, to iTunes to download Sweetener, by the way), these headphones more than suffice. People on Amazon can be pretty intense about headphone reviews but these have garnered over 15,000 5-star reviews, proving that even though they’re affordable, they’re also quality.
