34 Wacky Products On Amazon That Are So Much More Useful Than You Think

Prosper Beauty Dermaroll, $27, Amazon

Remember when you first heard about acupuncture and you were a little skeptical? Well, brace yourself for more needle action. Microneedling is a skin care practice that uses a roller outfitted with tiny needles to poke minuscule holes in your skin. This superficial marks to your skin do a couple of things: it triggers collagen production, and it helps your skin absorb nutrient-rich serums and moisturizers more efficiently. And don't worry — the whole thing is actually painless. This microneedling kit comes with one roller, three heads, and a storage case.

OSTRO Meat Injector Kit, $25, Amazon

This odd steel meat injector kit shoots marinades into your chicken, turkey, steak, or —you name it.

This is ideal if dinnertime is rolling around and you completely spaced marinating your meat.
