I have these and holy crap, they're incredible. I've been wearing clip-ins for over 10 years now and can confidently say that these are the best quality I've ever used. They're thick as heck, the band is strong, and they feel so silky and luxurious it's almost unbelievable. As you can see (gif above) my hair is a dark burgundy red and they don't sell that shade so I got the chestnut brown shade and dyed them... several times. I didn't wanna pay a professional to dye them and I had a very hard time getting the extensions the exact same shade as my hair. I dyed them three times before they matched my hair (no bleach involved) and even after being dyed again and again they still feel just as gorgeous as they did when I first opened the package (witchcraft). They're top notch and they're easy to comb/brush through with very little to no shedding, unlike other brands that leave literal PILES of hair on my floor every time they're brushed. They also come with instructions for how to take proper care of them. They look beautiful once installed and they didn't get all tangled up when I wore them to a sweaty St. Patrick's Day bar crawl. They're perfection and if you're gonna spend money on clip-ins, I recommend you spend your coins on these ones. I don't think any other company's clip-ins will ever be good enough for me again. I love themmmm, I'm wearing this brand forever.Get them from Luxy Hair for $295+ (available in three lengths, 36 colors, and two thicknesses).
A color-correcting multistick for your eyes, lips, and cheeks — it'll neutralize dark spots and circles even if you've felt like NOTHING will cover your tired under-eyes lately. Put this over any areas with hyperpigmentation, then put your foundation or concealer on top and boom: tired under-eyes will be gone in a flash.
A bottle of Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Exfoliant to help unclog and diminish large pores. This leave-on, fragrance-free exfoliant is gentle enough for all skin types and exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking fresh and hydrated.
I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so you can say so long to oily, greasy strands while also adding volume and making your hair look fuller. Now you can go another day without needing to wash and your hair will still feel oh-so clean.
Blume's Daydreamer face wash — a creamy, calming, hydrating little concoction infused with ~soothing~ plant extracts like lavender and chamomile. It'll say "chill ouuuuut" to any redness, acne, or unwanted bacteria that's clogging up your pores, leaving your face plump and bright.
And a bottle of Meltdown oil for anyone with acne-prone skin. This reviewer fave helps reduce acne, fade scars, and reduce redness and inflammation, all while preventing future breakouts as if by magic. It also helps to keep you hydrated with rosehip oil and is cruelty-free! Mix this into your moisturizer, wear it under makeup, or use it as a spot treatment — this stuff is super versatile!
Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer with a sponge on the end that'll cover dark circles so well, everyone will wonder what spell you used to achieve such magic. You'll look well rested and refreshed even on days that you...uh, aren't. Nobody will even be able to tell!

HoneyNaps Launches Cloud Version of AI Sleep Diagnostic Software "SOMNUM™" at SLEEP 2025
HIPAA-compliant cloud-based service provides diagnostic reports via the web with no installation required AI-powered trial service offered, highlighting potential for hospital-specific integration Presented performance of heart rate-based sleep stage estimation algorithm through oral and poster presentations BOSTON, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HoneyNaps, a medical AI diagnostics company, showcased both its technological capabilities and research achievements at SLEEP 2025, the world's largest sleep medicine conference held in Seattle, USA, from June 8 to 11. SLEEP 2025 is a prestigious international conference co-hosted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the Sleep Research Society (SRS), drawing approximately 5,000 sleep professionals and featuring over 1,000 of the latest research presentations. HoneyNaps has been the only Korean company to participate in the conference for four consecutive years since 2022. At this year's conference, the company further reinforced its academic credibility through both oral and poster presentations. Notably, in an oral presentation titled "Development and Evaluation of an Exclusively ECG-based Deep Learning Model for Sleep Staging," the company introduced a deep learning model that reliably classifies sleep stages using single-lead ECG signals, demonstrating significantly improved accuracy over conventional methods. At its exhibition booth, HoneyNaps drew attention by unveiling SOMNUM™ Cloud, an AI solution for automated analysis of polysomnography (PSG) data. Users can upload EDF files extracted from PSG devices to the cloud, where the AI engine automatically analyzes the data and generates a comprehensive report — easily downloadable online with no software installation required. During the conference, HoneyNaps offered a free trial consisting of three AI analyses, enabling visitors to experience SOMNUM Cloud in a clinical-like setting. The hands-on program was met with enthusiastic feedback from U.S. sleep physicians and RPSGTs (Registered Polysomnographic Technologists). Taekyoung (Sean) Ha, PhD, President of HoneyNaps USA, stated, "With its cloud-based architecture, streamlined implementation process, and HIPAA compliance, more than 100 U.S. medical institutions expressed interest in potential adoption. We also held individual meetings with leading global sleep companies to discuss potential strategic collaborations".

The alluring medicube Pore Pads are 51% off during an Amazon rare sale
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. I've tried almost every product from medicube's lineup, and yet, for all the clinical innovations, indulgent textures and clever formulas I've tested, nothing quite matches the sleek simplicity and skin-transforming power of the Zero Pore Pads. So when I stumbled upon a rare 51% off sale on Amazon, it felt like a miniature moment of cosmic alignment, especially since these pads have come to hold such a special place on my shelf (and in my heart). Let's pause for a beat on that number: 51%. It's pretty revolutionary for a Korean skincare product that's well-deserving of a spot in your morning and evening lineup. Advertisement I say this as someone who's tried everything from cult viral cleansers to spa-grade actives — this pad still surprises me. The reason lies in its design: dual-textured, pre-soaked facial pads that do the heavy lifting with minimal fuss. One side is softly embossed for a light physical exfoliation, and the other is silky smooth, perfect for pressing in hydration or patting on calming botanical goodness. Amazon Digging deeper, the ingredients are a thoughtful blend of clinical actives and botanical allies. AHA (lactic acid, about 4.5%) smooths texture and brightens; BHA (salicylic acid, around 0.45%) dives into pores to clear excess sebum and congestion. Added to that is a symphony of plant extracts: willow bark (natural BHA), citrus and fruit oils for gentle resurfacing and refreshment, centella asiatica and allantoin for soothing, panthenol and hyaluronic acid for hydration, plus antioxidants from skullcap, purslane, evening primrose, and more. No wonder why these are best-selling. What truly elevates this product in my routine (and in many others' diaries) is how it balances efficacy with gentleness. It doesn't strip or sting; instead, it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, prepped for any follow‑up skincare, but without that tight, squeaky finish. Usage is deceptively simple, too. After cleansing, I swipe the embossed side across my face — especially the T-zone and areas prone to congestion — then flip to the silky side to smooth over and calm. A gentle pat afterward ensures everything is absorbed. I usually use it three to four times a week (sometimes daily if my skin is acting up), and on heavier makeup days, it's a lifesaver that preps a smooth canvas while shrinking texture and priming for serum or primer. Now, about the buy‑in: yes, there's a whisper of stickiness for a few minutes post‑application, especially if you skip moisturizer. I usually follow with a lightweight hydrating gel (or even just a quick mist) to dissolve the residue, and by the time I'm applying my serum, it's all gone. Minor inconvenience for what feels like a skin reset button. The Bottom Line What makes this a true favorite in my Korean skincare stash isn't its hype or glowing reviews; it's a functional asset that gives my skin a radiant, dewy glow. From glossed-over mornings to rough, congested moments, I've reached for this pad repeatedly, always rewarded. So yes — I've tried everything. But the medicube Zero Pore Pads remain one of my top three K‑beauty rides-or-dies. They're quietly effective, elegantly designed and when found at half off, they're a nearly irresistible steal. If your cart-building self and your skin-care‑lover self ever collided in bliss, here's your match. Click 'buy,' swipe your way to smoother days and maybe — just maybe — thank yourself later.

The medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Mask is on a rare Amazon sale
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. I've lost count of how many Korean skincare brands I've tested over the years. From cult classics to niche launches that barely make it beyond the Seoul underground, I've tried everything: ampoules, essences, toners, serums — you name it, I've put it on my face. Of all the brands I've reviewed, medicube has been one of the few I keep coming back to. So when I saw its Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask (four of them!) for less than $20 on Amazon, I didn't hesitate. At first, I thought it was a listing error. This mask is sold in a four-pack, which means each treatment comes out to under $5. That's practically unheard of for something packed with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and low-molecular-weight collagen: two powerhouse ingredients usually reserved for spa-level treatments or professional skincare lines. But no, the price was real, and naturally, I added it to my cart instantly. Advertisement Amazon I already had high expectations. I've reviewed nearly everything medicube has released — from its Zero Pore Pads to the Deep Vita C Capsule Cream — and I know the brand doesn't mess around when it comes to formulation. But even then, I wasn't expecting this mask to be this good. The texture alone made me pause. It's not your standard paper-thin sheet mask. This is a jelly gel mask that's cool to the touch, slightly plush and absolutely saturated in a thick, milky serum. It clings to the face just enough to stay put, but it's still best used while lying down. What caught me by surprise was how the color began to shift. The mask starts out an opaque pink but fades to almost clear as the ingredients absorb. I didn't even know I wanted a visual cue like that, but it was oddly satisfying to see it work in real time. And, once I took it off, my skin looked smoother, calmer and noticeably more hydrated. That post-mask glow wasn't just a trick of the light, and I was impressed. I could feel the difference the next morning, too. My skin felt firmer and bouncier, like I'd gotten a solid eight hours of sleep (I hadn't). It reminded me of the feeling I get after using medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream ($20), which I've raved about before. But this mask felt even more potent, a little more concentrated and certainly more luxurious. I know marketing claims can be hit or miss, but medicube actually backs theirs its numbers. Its internal tests reported over 79% immediate hydration improvement, with skin maintaining nearly 40% more moisture after 24 hours. The brand even measured improvements in fine lines, elasticity and skin texture. While I can't speak to the lab data personally, I can say my own results lined up, especially around my eyes and forehead, where I usually see the first signs of dullness when I'm tired or dehydrated. The Final Verdict While I love a good skin 'treat' (naturally), this mask has become more than that for me. It has become a regular part of my regular routine, especially on days when my skin is tired, dry or just feeling a little dull. It delivers real results, and it feels good while doing it. If you're deep into Korean skincare like I am — or even just starting out and want something that performs like a high-end product without the high-end price tag — this mask is a smart bet. For less than $5 per use, I get firmer, more hydrated, visibly refreshed skin. That's a result I'll happily pay for again and again.
