We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.
I’m a sucker for an odd product that gets the job done. Amazon is home to so many innovative, and at times, uncommon products. I’ve created a list of some of the ones that have caught my eye. Many of these products have gone viral for their adorable packaging, clever names, or unbelievable results. I’ve picked my favorites and these beauty products are really weird and interesting and I want them all.
You’ll find plenty of products on this list that have unique ingredients like snail mucus, nano gold, or diamonds. These companies have harnessed the power of uncommon substances and found that they can help moisturize, heal, and illuminate the skin with ease. I’ve also added plenty of buys that make getting ready a little bit easier. I’ve been so intrigued by the flexible hair curlers that have become all the rage. This heatless way of curling your hair is trending and with 35,000 reviews — I've included the set you want to try.
They may seem a bit out of the ordinary, but these products work and have the reviews to prove it.
1This “Zombie Pack” Face Mask That’s Made With Egg White Extract
This face mask does it all in just 15 minutes and is aptly named “Zombie Pack” for how it brings your skin back to life. It’s made with egg whites, aloe vera extract, lavender oil, and other natural ingredients to deeply clean, hydrate, brighten, and nourish your skin. This mask, which has more than 8,000 reviews, first makes your skin look dry and cracked, but the minute you wash it off you’ll see a more radiant complexion. One reviewer noted, “This was definitely an interesting experience and I am highly satisfied with the results! After the treatment, my skin felt so soft and smooth and my pores were tiny!”

It helps your skin to better absorb any skincare products you use, giving you a glow. This best-seller in microdermabrasion devices has a 4.4-star rating and more than 24,000 reviews. This set of two comes with storage cases.
3This Soothing Gel Mask For Hot Or Cold Therapy
This gel face mask may look like something out of a horror movie, but reviewers love it for all kinds of uses. The gel beads retain temperature so you can pop the mask in the freezer for cold therapy or heat it up in the microwave for 20 seconds for heat therapy. While it can help relieve sinus pain and migraines, it also is used to reduce puffiness, eliminate redness, and fight off dark circles. The BPA- and latex-free mask is moldable to fit your face.
4A Skin Serum That’s Made With Snail Mucus
This skin serum has one ingredient in particular that always catches people’s attention: snail mucus.

This "snail slime" is fragrance-free and made without artificial colors or parabens.
5This Electric Makeup Brush Cleaner That’s Easy To Use
The trick to keeping your makeup brushes looking brand new is not about spending a ton of money, but rather about how well you take care of them.

The cleaner attaches to the bottom of the brush to spin it at a high rotation. Dip it into the included bowl to submerge the brush in the cleaning solution. Then flip the switch and let it spin and clean. Lift it out of the solution while it’s spinning to allow it to dry. It comes with eight rubber holders that fit any style of brush.
6An Oil-Absorbing Face Roller Made Of Volcanic Rock
Here’s an odd, but cool product: a face roller that’s made out of volcanic stone. It keeps your makeup looking flawless all day long by absorbing oil on your face. And it does it all without messing with your makeup. Roll it along your skin to eliminate shine. It works similarly to blotting paper, however, it’s less wasteful since it can be reused. Just wash the stone with a gentle cleanser and air dry it before putting the lid back on. Keep it in your purse for on-the-go touch-ups or while traveling.
