We all have beauty products that we'd identify as life-changers. Maybe it's that eye gel that does a number on your crow's feet. Perhaps it's a foot balm that makes dry skin disappear or a scalp massager that makes it feel like you're at the spa.

You never know where your next gem might come from. But there's a pretty good way to predict it: When throngs of Amazon customers absolutely rave about a product, you know there's some serious value there. The Amazon community is a discerning — and vocal — bunch. That's why each week we're combing through Amazon's top-reviewed beauty products to curate a list of reviewer faves for you.

This way you can benefit from the experience and critical thinking of tens of thousands of shoppers while cutting to the chase. Remember, if you have Amazon Prime you'll get free two-day shipping on many items. Not yet a Prime member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

Below are the problem-solvers we plucked for you this week — all with gobs of great reviews. Enjoy!

Cracked heels? This super-thick cream is the remedy — if over 44,700 shoppers are to be trusted. Amazon's No. 1 bestselling O'Keefe's Healthy Feet repairs and soothes irritated and dry tootsies — and it works fast. Apply before bed or right after your shower so it really sinks in. Your feet (and the sandals you plan on wearing this summer) will thank you.

"I noticed a huge difference in my feet within two to three days of daily use," shared one shopper. "Now after every shower I do a quick scrub with a foot file and apply O'Keefe's Healthy Feet. My feet look so pretty and healthy. The thick areas of dry hard cracked skin are GONE. For the first time in 45 years, I have nice-looking feet. They are baby soft!"

This eye gel just might be a good night's sleep in a jar. It tackles dark circles, puffiness and those telltale wrinkles, plus it helps hydrate and firm the skin around the eyes. It's lightweight enough to use under makeup.

"I have used many eye creams and this is one of the best at improving the dark circles and fine lines under my eyes," a shopper revealed. "It goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It is also much cheaper, per ounce than similar high-quality eye creams. Overall, I am very happy to have this in my night-time beauty routine. I've been using it for six months, but notice results after the first week."

"BETTER THAN BOTOX!" shared one thrilled shopper. "This is an absolute must have...It literally cleared up my pores, tightened and smoothed them, erased mild wrinkles and even significantly smoothed out my terrible scowl line and forehead wrinkles completely. My skin has not felt this great and healthy nor has it looked this good in several years."

Have sensitive teeth? You don't need to endure an electric toothbrush if it's too much for your easily irritated chompers. These guys are designed with sensitive teeth and gums in mind, though that doesn't mean they're not heavy-duty — in fact, they have over 9,400 tightly-packed bristles that gently remove the gunk from between your teeth and gums. The angled brush gets in the hard-to-reach spots too.

"These are wonderful toothbrushes," shared one of 10,000 five-star reviewers. "My teeth almost feel newly polished after using them. They are so much more effective than even the soft bristle brushes I get from my dentist!"

$17 for a pack of three, Amazon

No wonder it's adored by over 23,500 Amazon shoppers!

Sure, it looks a little weird, but this tiny tool can make your next shower feel like the best one you've ever had. Use the $8 waterproof brush to gently massage your scalp with the silicone bristles, and all that tightness will simply melt away. It's lightweight, and safe to use on all hair types and even sensitive scalps.

One shopper claimed it helps with thinning hair. "I purchased this massager because my stylist told me massaging my scalp might help with my thinning hair. I have used this every time I shampoo which is twice a week... I have seen amazing hair regrowth. Before I used this product I could see my scalp on the top of my head. Now I have to separate the hair completely in order to see the scalp."

Olaplex No. 3
This treatment needs no introduction. (Photo: Amazon)

If you've ever dyed your hair, you know about the wonders of Olaplex. The brand's No. 3 repairs the damage done to your strands, making your mane look and feel as if you've never colored it at all. This take-home version of the popular in-salon treatment is safe for all hair types (though damaged strands can benefit most from using it) and it's so easy to use — just coat your damp, towel-dried hair in the stuff and leave it on for at least 10 minutes (some folks leave it on overnight or all day). Then, just rinse off and follow up with shampoo and conditioner.

"I honestly am still shocked at how well this works," shared one shopper. "Even professional treatments have not had this kind of impact. After three uses I saw a dramatic shift in my hair. I can’t wait to continue using it more regularly to see the full results."
