I'll cop to a sincere and abiding love of shopping in all its forms, and if you also enjoy indulging in a little retail therapy from time to time, Amazon is both a blessing and a curse. After all, you can find whatever you want on its virtual shelves, but it carries so much stuff that it gets overwhelming from time to time. May I suggest that you dive in with these fast-selling products with thousands of near-perfect reviews?
If you haven't discovered the reviews as a tool to guide your Amazon purchases, here's your chance to hop on the bandwagon. You'll find that Amazon reviewers have had the same questions you do about the products you're researching — only they've bought them already, so they're sharing the answers. Plus, they have pictures, and sometimes videos. Seriously, your fellow Amazonians (Amazonites?) have your back, so if you have yet to explore what they have to say, now's the time to go beyond the stars and delve into the reviews.
And what better time to start than with these products that have all earned so many raves from the Amazon community? This list highlights how reviews can help you turn up pure Amazon gold — for example, in the case of Baebody Retinol Moisturizer, which became a sensation thanks mostly to the crazed write-ups it was getting on Amazon. This one's a don't miss — just like all the items on this list.

"If I would have known how good my hair would have looked after using this hair dryer, and how fast the drying goes... I would have bought this years ago!!!
