“TikTok made me purchase it.” A line so simple might just be the reason many users cannot stop scrolling. The age of the viral product recommendation has dawned.
Though TikTok is certainly still susceptible to sponsored posts from influencers, a large chunk of product recommendations is from normal people who are not financially benefiting if a viewer buys the product.
Rather, many items in viral videos were only hyped up because the person posting was genuinely interested in sharing something great that they found. That authentic consumer experience feels trustworthy, for example, hearing that a friend’s life was changed by that one hair styler.
Millions of users post about their favorite purchases which makes it hard to decipher which of those are worthwhile and which will end up in junk. Well, thankfully you are here, as we will be providing you with the most unique, reliable, and sustainable products below so you’re not wasting your money.

The styling device is aimed to turn wet hair into a bouncy salon-style blowout with minimal frizz. One might say, that is what the Dyson Airwrap does, however, you can buy nine Revlon One Steps at MSRP for the price of one Dyson Airwrap. If you want evidence that the Revlon works just as well, you can find it all over TikTok.
Bissell Little Green
Cleaning TikTok along with pet TikTok are the backbones of the app. Bissell’s portable multipurpose upholstery cleaner has users of both sectors captivated.

The Pink Stuff
TikTok users have been taken by storm by the powers of The Pink Stuff, a non-toxic “miracle cleaning paste,” on stains that no one has an idea of how to deal with.
The Pink Stuff’s success rate is impressively high with burnt spills on glass cooktops, stubborn streaks on cookware/sinks, as well as moldy rings around faucets. On top of that, it involves far less elbow grease than a Magic Eraser.

The digital display offers five modes: normal, rapid, fruit wash, baby care, as well as glass.
The butt lifting leggings

At their core, they are cheap Amazon athleisure but might not make it through a serious squat sessions.
Desktop vacuum
After using this product, you would have to wonder how you managed to ever rely on paper towels to tidy your space after your morning toast.

ChomChom pet hair remover
Like an advanced lint roller, the ChomChom tackles fur on surfaces like furniture as well as carpets without wasting adhesive strips. This works similarly to the wood/wire lint roller that was also viral, however, this stores the hair in a compartment rather than rolling it into a ball that has to be picked up. Nearly 100,000 Amazon users are also impressed by this.
Stasher bags
A staple on sustainability TikTok, the silicone Stasher bag has become quite the versatile kitchen hack replacing the single-use sandwich bags. Countless users have posted their experiences trying a quick zero-waste popcorn recipe using a Stasher bag to pop kernels in the microwave.
Adjustable buttons
These pin-like adjustable buttons can pierce denim, corduroy, and do more to create a snugger yet asymmetrical fit without needing a belt. Or, the shoelace trick.

You could try a generalized recipe that you would like to cut down to personal size. Or, you could just scroll through countless ideas just for this Dash.
Mirrored digital alarm clock
TikTok has managed to revive the humble nightstand alarm clock. One of a handful of identical models on Amazon, the mirrored digital one is minimalist in looks while being maximalist in function.
The giant numbers are clear as day and easy to read, with the ability of adjustable brightness for when the room’s dark. Three USB ports turn it into a charger, dimming the display enough can also turn it into a makeup mirror.
Dish soap dispenser caddy
Who doesn’t love a good organization hack and kitchen hack? This dish soap dispenser checks both boxes. It solves the lifelong quest of finding something better to perform the tasks with a soggy sponge as well as to store them on the sink ledge. A quick pump keeps soapy hands from grabbing a bottle, the uniform drops could also help your dish soap last longer.
Thrive Cosmetics Brilliant Eye Brightener
Thrive Cosmetics Brilliant Eye Brightener didn’t exactly blow up the old-fashioned way, rather it was the ads. However, the cream-to-powder highlight continues to shine as more and more users enthuse its working coupled with the ads.
The brightening stick goes past its shimmery effect by using natural emollients like macadamia along with meadowfoam seed oil to hydrate the eye area as well as to smooth fine lines.
Bottle emptying caps
Wasted conditioner? In this economy? This set of bottle emptying caps allows bottles to balance face-down to drain the remnants that you are not able to squeeze out. The kit comes with six adapters and two stands, fitting bottles holding skincare, hair products, or lotion all the way to dish soap as well as detergent.
Cloud-shaped key magnet
Three magnets are housed inside the cloud, offering a sturdy home for multiple sets of keys. Installation requires just a smooth wall along with the included double-sided adhesive (Command Strips may be safer for paint).
Rechargeable flameless lighter
Flameless lighters have replaced traditional flame with a plasma beam to provide a wind-resistant, smokeless light. 500 lights later, the user can recharge it via USB.
A handful of flameless lighters have been part of popular videos, the one here is long enough to reach down into depleted jar candles and has nearly 19,000 five-star reviews on Amazon.
Flipable pickle jar and strainer
The famous “pickle jar flip thing” (according to TikTok autofill) does take after an hourglass in its shape as well as mechanism. When you flip to the straining side it allows you to grab a pickle without having to dunk your fingers in juice. Then you can flip it back to re-soak the pickles in their liquid.
The one from @paytopotatoe’s original viral video has sold out (as viral items tend to do), so you can try an identical alternative for now.
