www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable.

I recommend it." — Monica T.

7.

Amazon
Promising review: "I've fallen in love with this color. It looks amazing on anyone. The lip oil is long lasting and looks beautiful on my cheeks too. It doesn't dry out my lips or feel too sticky." — Jane
Get it from Amazon for $27.
8. Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen designed specifically for people who get the "ick" from oily sunscreens but need all the sun protection they can get. This ultra sheer, quick absorbing formula leaves a matte finish that still packs a powerful sun-protective punch. And at this price point, this is the ultimate "every day" sunscreen for face and body.
Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information!
Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. I t is really lightweight and doesn't feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn't overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" — Savannah
Get it from Amazon for $8.79+ (available in multipacks, SPF 100, and SPF 30 versions).
9. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball with some real audacity to smell that delectable and layer so well, considering it's only six cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.29 (available in two styles).
10. Olay Super Cream with Sunscreen SPF 30, a luxury moisturizer (and another iteration of the iconic facial Super Serum!) engineered with niacinamide and collagen not just to protect your skin from the sun, but to help reduce dark spots and fine lines. This ultra-hydrating, lightweight cream also plays well with makeup and doesn't leave any kind of white cast.
Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information!
Promising review: "Super nourishing. I have extremely sensitive skin and this helps with protection from everyday friction and irritation from elements like wind burns. Will be repurchasing." — Tricia D.
Get it from Amazon for $34.94.
11. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads, which are dual-textured toner pads made with lactic and salicylic acid to exfoliate and refine your pores. The excess sebum oil in your face just met its worst enemy in this cult-fave Korean skincare product 😈.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily and it's been a couple of weeks and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value and I'll definity be repurchasing these." — Ee El
Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17 (available in four other styles).
12. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
13. And L'Oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara in a new brown shade so you can have all the *vavoom* of thick, full lashes with that romantic ~softness~ of the more muted shade. Similar to the iconic black shade that made it famous, this mascara doesn't smudge, clump, or flake for alllll day wear, and washes easily to be extra gentle on lashes.
Amazon
Promising review: "I have been searching for a brown mascara, and this is it! It's the best mascara I have used in a long time. Goes on easily without clumping. Lifts and separates my lashes. I'm so happy with it! I set up a subscribe and save so I don't run out!" — jeanielemo
"I bought the latte brown and really like the look of it. Black mascara looks costume-ish on me. This color has a softer, more natural look on me. Thought it was worth a go and am not disappointed." — Garden Girl
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in three other shades of black).
14. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use.
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Check out a frankly STARTLING TikTok of Lumify in action — they are not joking about how fast it works!
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Get it from Amazon for $11.93.
15. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser you may just give "holy grail" status if you've got sensitive skin — this gentle but effective blend of niacinamide, ceramides, and prebiotic thermal water is designed to remove excess oil and cleanse pores while still preventing dryness and protecting your skin barrier.
Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, so finding a cleanser that works without irritating my skin can be tricky. This foaming cleanser was both gentle and effective. It left my skin feeling clean and refreshed without causing any discomfort, and it wasn't too drying. I'm really happy with the results and will definitely continue using it!" — PkH4207
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
16. Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Lip Tint gives you an oh-so-pillowy matte pout that refuses! to! quit! no matter what you throw at it during the day. Reviewers mention that this is a great "everyday" matte, giving a velvety, well-pigmented look without being too dramatic.
Promising review: "I have been on a hunt for The Lipstick for my 20 plus years of wearing makeup. Regular lipstick comes off in minutes because I'm chugging water all day. Matte long stay just settles into every lip crack and looks terrible. This is the first and only long-stay lipstick that doesn't settle into cracks and dry down. I think because it's a slightly thicker consistency — not quite glossy, more like a thick balm so it glides over lip cracks. I have just about every color — I'm really hoping they come out with a rusty red." — Kate Lynch
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in ten shades).
17. A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, " Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can grab a pumice stone or foot file on Amazon!
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in an extra strength version).
18. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that cold weather dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M.

19. Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails.
Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products.
Check out a TikTok of the nail veil in action.
Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades).
20. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products.
HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT.
Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." — Smickens
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 12 shades).
21. Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner reviewers going for the "glass skin" look swear by in their cleansing routines — this unassuming but impactful toner helps calm and refresh your complexion by balancing your skin's pH level and helping it better absorb all your lovely skincare products, helping you get real results for your time and money.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This toner is hyped for a reason — it's the best. It works extremely well for sensitive skin, and it leaves my skin soft and moisturized. The redness on my face have completely vanished after using this toner." — Aurelia
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
22. A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action.
Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker
Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles).
23. A multipurpose blush stick reviewers compare to the $18 Pixi Beauty version — this version may be cheaper, but it's also easily buildable, blendable, and perfect for that light, dewy, "kissed by a happy pink cloud" look.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades).
24. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in six styles).
25.
Sol De Janeiro's Delicia Drench Body Butter your skin's moisture barrier will drink up like a happy little fish, and leave you with a soft, smooth, fully-absorbed finish that lasts all day. If you haven't already tried Cheirosa 59 body mist, the cult-fave blend of vanilla orchid, sugared violet, and sandalwood this body butter is based on, you are in for one luxurious treat!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is incredible! This body butter is so thick and rich that it provides lasting hydration all day long. It absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy and leaves my skin super soft and nourished. The scent is heavenly and lingers just enough without being overpowering. I love how it creates a protective barrier on my skin, making it perfect for dry or colder weather. If you're looking for a deeply moisturizing body butter that truly lasts, this one is a must-try!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes).
26. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth.
Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
27. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version. This gentle, foaming powder is formulated with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts, and should be used three to four times weekly to help gently break down dead skin cells for a brighter, more refreshed flow.
Amazon
Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
To use the powder, mix a teaspoon with a few drops of water until it foams, then massage in gentle circles on your face before rinsing.
Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread. I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $16.
28. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn't have to wait for it and pay less. Can't go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." — Ramona L. Corona
Get it from Amazon for $18.90.
29. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Milky Leave-In Conditioner not only defrizzes your hair, softens it, and protects it from heat, but to leaves you smelling like the oh -so-scrumptious, wildly-beloved Cheirosa 62 "sunshine" fragrance — you know, that pistachio, jasmine, and vanilla scent that has the OG Bum Bum Cream and Hair & Body Mists constantly on the verge of selling out.
Reviewers also use this as an easy detangler both for themselves and for their kiddos!
Check out a TikTok of Sol de Janeiro leave-in conditioner in action.
Promising review: "Perfect hair day every day! This spray is both beautiful and fragrant! It leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, while the scent is absolutely delightful. A must-have for anyone looking to add shine and a lovely fragrance to their hair routine!" — charlotte
Get it from Amazon for $28.
30. An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for sloughing off all the dead skin from winter (one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a " Lizard Person" after shedding it). This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too!
Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products.
Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier.
Promising review:"Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don't run too hard! Gentle strokes." — Juliet
"Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand-name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." — Mandi Konesni
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two).
31. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
32. Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which is basically the brand's "holy grail," TikTok-famous styling cream in the form of a mascara wand. This versatile lil' tool helps you carefully target flyaways, style edges, and smooth frizz.
Amazon
Dae is a small business that specializes in haircare and styling products.
(It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is a handy option if you do.)
Promising review: "I've tried numerous products for taming baby hairs, especially post-partum, and this is hands down the best thing I've tried. It also smells incredible! Love the size of the styling wand!" — Completely happy customer!
Get it from Amazon for $18.
33. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that swipes over your face like a magic wand to make excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $7.80.
34. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps — especially considering how costly competitive serums are!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable.

Amazon
Promising review:"I am LOVING this 'ONE AND DONE' product. I'd watched a few videos about how wonderful having this dual-ended item was; blush on one side, bronzer on the other. I needed something easy for travel, and I love creamy textures, so I thought I'd try them. WOW; I'm in love. They glide across the skin, blend out, and look very natural. The value is fantastic compared to other dual-ended makeup sticks. The smell is light and a touch tropical." — Vanessa Sykes
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four shade combos).

Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra

10 best drugstore concealers in 2025 (Tested and Reviewed)

I've had breakouts and the acne scars that follow since I was 11, so it's not shocking that my very first makeup bag was filled with my mom's concealers and foundations. But when I – a pre-teen with mere babysitting funds – finally ventured out and purchased my own, brand-new versions, I obviously went looking for the best drugstore concealers for acne, dark spots, and the like. Now, I'm a beauty editor with access to the fanciest of concealer formulas – yet I still find myself clamouring for some of my ole' faithful drugstore concealers. What makes the best drugstore concealers so great? It really depends on what you're looking for, whether that's a full-coverage cream to make your cystic acne disappear, or a lightweight, glowy liquid to conceal under eye circles and bags. Don't worry, though, I've tested nearly every single drugstore concealer (I checked!), and labeled my favourites below based on who they're best suited for. Keep reading for a full run-down of the best drugstore concealers. The best part? They're all under £15. Heck, some are even available on Amazon with free next-day shipping if you've got Prime. Bargain alert!

Renpho Eye Massager Returns to Its Lowest Price for Father's Day, One of Amazon's Hottest Gifts of All Time

Use this $60 heated massager as a sleep mask or to relieve tired eyes, and connect it to your smartphone for music. If you get the occasional tension headache, you know the restorative power of heat and massage. If you're a more frequent headache sufferer, especially if you deal with migraines, you really know what a game-changer that can be. Those microwaveable beanbag-type masks are good, but the Renpho Eyeris 1 is better — way better — and it's on sale at Amazon right now for just $60 (-40%). The Eyeris 1, which normally sells for $100, requires no heating or preparation. Just keep the battery charged with the USB-C cable, put it on, and turn it on for a combination of relieving heat, soothing compression, and relaxing vibrations. You can choose any combination of those 3 treatments, or any of them individually. The Eyeris 1 also has Bluetooth to connect to your favorite music or other content. See at Amazon Still a Big Deal The Eyeris 1 was one of the hottest gifts of the 2024 holiday season, with sales spurred by viral videos and appearances on the TODAY show, The Drew Barrymore Show, and other programs. Since then, it's benefitted from strong word-of-mouth recommendations and great reviews. (Full disclosure: I own one, and it's great.) All told, over 26,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Eyeris 1 an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. The reasons for all the hubbub are clear. The Eyeris 1 lets you choose between 5 built-in modes that are easy to toggle between with the 3-button interface, where you're also able to control the music or content on your phone if you're using the Bluetooth function. (Pro tip: Guided meditations are great when you're wearing the Eyeris 1.) The pain-relieving heat hovers between 104 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air compressions and oscillating pressure are terrific at reducing stress and bringing you to a state of deep relaxation. Perfect Fit While the Eyeris 1 may look like it would be heavy on your face or unwieldy, it's anything but. The mask weighs just 12.7 ounces, and the part that rests against your face is extremely soft, non-reactive protein PU leather that's also breathable and easy to clean. A single charge gives you 2 hours of use, but the 15-minute auto-timer that switches it off comes in very handy because it's so easy to doze off while wearing the Eyeris 1. For travel, the Eyeris 1 is foldable for convenient packing and portability, and it's one size fits all, with an adjustable headband. It comes in 11 colors, although some of them come with a slight price increase. There's really no price you can put on the ability to vanquish headaches and stress, but if there were, it would definitely be far more than the $60 that Amazon is selling the Eyeris 1 for during this 40% off deal.

The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 is the Beyoncé of beauty tools

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Let's talk skincare gadgets. Because let's face it: we've all been seduced by that sleek ad, the influencer with glass skin or the promise that this one little device will reverse the effects of binge-watching Netflix under fluorescent lights while eating cheese puffs. Enter the medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 — a name that sounds like a spaceship but is specially designed to make your face look like it drinks collagen for breakfast. As someone who reports on and reviews the best beauty brands for a living, I'm here to tell you that medicube is certainly worth it. Now, its device is beating the same buzzy drum. Amazon This snazzy Korean-made device is marketed as a '2-in-1 high-frequency + microcurrent' tool. Translation: it uses tiny zaps and heat to wake up your collagen, tighten any sagging skin and lift those brows like a pop diva hitting a high note. According to medicube, it's the closest you can get to a med spa treatment without leaving your house (and, that's always a plus). If you're in the mood for a skincare investment, this device feels like unwrapping tech from the future. It's white, sleek and vaguely resembles something that might take your temperature — or steal your Wi-Fi. As far as aesthetics go, it checks every box. Just don't expect it to fit neatly in your carry-on unless you travel with a dedicated 'skincare gadgets only' suitcase (no judgment if you do). How it works No goopy gel? Count me in. The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 glides over your skin, gently warming as it goes, thanks to its 40.68 MHz frequency — which, according to science (and medicube's marketing team), is the sweet spot for stimulating collagen. There's also a microcurrent setting that tightens like your face just did Pilates. The experience is warm, slightly tingly and weirdly satisfying. Most reviewers say it's like a cozy face sauna. The Ultra Tune comes with six interchangeable heads, each designed to contour around your face like a skincare GPS. There's one for cheeks, one for your jawline and one for around your eyes. It's basically the Swiss Army knife of facial tools. Bonus: It makes you feel like a highly-trained beauty assassin on a mission to slay wrinkles. It's easy to use, and you don't need a special gel. Simply use the Ultra Tune after your skincare products have fully absorbed. It will help boost your skin's radiance and elasticity when used consistently, which is the best part. People are seeing real results, too. Reviewers have posted everything from 'my cheeks look lifted' to 'I finally have cheekbones and didn't have to contour.' And yes, we're talking after just a few uses. But others say it's more of a 'slow and steady wins the race' situation. TL;DR: this isn't a Disney princess transformation; consistency is key. You can also maximize your results with the AGE-R App that features custom guide videos, a tracking calendar, visual progress tracking and personalized settings for your best experience. It's like a one-on-one consultation with your facialist. Let's not tiptoe around it — this baby is $299. That's not exactly pocket change. But, compared to repeated spa visits, it's a steal. The real question is: will you actually use it three times a week, or will it become the world's fanciest dust collector? That's up to you to decide. The bottom line If you're skincare-obsessed, love a tech-forward approach, or just want to pretend you're giving yourself a facial while watching 'Bridgerton,' this device is for you. If your ideal skincare routine is 'splash water and hope for the best,' maybe skip it. Honestly? The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 brings the science and the sizzle. It's not perfect, it's not cheap but it works if you commit to using it consistently. It's only worth it if you consider this device like a skincare marriage of sorts, not a fling. If you're tired of overpriced creams that promise the world and deliver very little, this device is a solid investment. It's bougie. It's bold. It's your new skincare BFF with benefits.
