At the start of the first lockdown in March, many of us weren’t too sure what TikTok even was.
Fast forward 10 months and we now check it incessantly for food tricks, home hacks and the best in beauty and fashion buys.
In short, we really couldn’t live without it.
However, the world of TikTok takes some getting used to and sifting through all the clips for must-have gadgets and must-try hacks can be time consuming.
So, we’ve rounded up our top five products that have featured in viral TikToks - the ones you really need to know about - to make life easier.
6 viral TikTok products you need to know about
1. The paste that can clean almost anything
While sprucing up our homes we have discovered that there is one cleaning product that produces such impressive results it has taken the TikTok sphere by storm.
The Pink Stuff contains vegetable oil to help remove tough grime, plus it’s non toxic, is made from 99% natural ingredients and isn’t tested on animals.
The product, which has been described as a “miracle cleaning paste” by the brand Stardrops, was first introduced to us by cleaning guru, Mrs Hinch.
From cleaning kitchen surfaces and greasy hobs, to cars and trainers, this tub cleans it all.
Buy it: Stardrops The Pink Stuff Paste 500g | £3.63 from Amazon
2. The time-saving washing up gadget
The fuss about this genius liquid soap pump and sponge caddy began when user @toponlinefinds posted a video of herself decanting her washing up liquid into the gadget, pumping the exact right amount onto her sponge and then storing it there so as to not get soap all over the side of the sink.
It’s clear that we weren’t the only ones who were impressed by the nifty “kitchen must-have” - as the video has racked up 2.7 million likes so far and almost 10,000 comments.
The kitchen gadget, available for just £12.99 on Amazon, is, in fact, an upgrade on an existing design.
The traditional design required two hands to extract the dish soap, but this new product integrates a sponge, tray and soap dispenser that allows the user to extract the soap with one hand.
It will also help save money as gravity drains the excess dish soap back into the container, and means that you’re not wasting any of the precious liquid.
Buy it: DADA-TECH Liquid Soap Dispenser Set | £12.99 from Amazon
3. The raved about £6 beauty product
When The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution went viral on TikTok after influencer, Kaelyn uploaded the video, the brand reported it led to a 59% increase in sales.
The skincare product is described as a 10-minute exfoliating facial that improves the texture and radiance of your skin, while also exfoliating away blemishes and minimising pores.
Not only does it promise to brighten the skin, the weekly peel can reportedly also assist with removing dead skin and smoothing your complexion.

4. The genius avocado slicer
A video uploaded by TikTok user Christine Tran which shows her using a three-in-one slicer to safely chop and de-stone her avocado, has received over 500,000 likes.
The knife part of the gadget allows you to slice the avocado open. The pitting tool quickly and safely removes the stone with a simple twist and then finally, the fan blade cuts the fruit into perfect slices and scoops them out for serving.
The tool is also dishwasher safe and won’t slip out of your grip if you’ve washed your hands recently.
Even more excitingly, the tool itself only costs £5.50 and is available for next day delivery on Amazon.
Buy it: OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer | £5.50 from Amazon
5. The no hassle pet hair remover
The Mudeela Reusable Pet Hair Remover Roller is available on Amazon and has already racked up thousands of glowing reviews.
The must-have gadget for pet owners first went viral on the app back in April and has been doing the rounds ever since.
But, how do you use it?
The website explains that holding the fur roller, rolling back and forth on the surface, all the hair is collected in the dustbin. Press the button to remove all pet hair from the bin. Then you can use it again.
With this reusable pet hair lint roller, there’s no need to replace batteries, cartridges, tape or refills, you simply empty the compartment and start again.
Buy it: Mudeela Reusable Pet Hair Remover Roller | £15.99 from Amazon
6. The super flattering leggings
Three lockdowns deep and it’s safe to say we have heartily welcomed leggings back into our lives, and they are now the stars of our wardrobes.
But not all leggings were created equal, and there is one pair in particular that has gone viral on TikTok for being super flattering.
The leggings in question are from Amazon and have been praised for being super flattering (especially in the derrière area).
An early TikTok video about the leggings now has over one million likes, with thousands of women purchasing the leggings and leaving their own rave reviews on the video sharing site.
Wearers report a smoother, more flattering outline and claim the leggings make them feel more confident and comfortable.
