The 20 Amazon Products People Couldn't Stop Buying In September

Emily Ruane, HuffPost Shopping’s managing editor of commerce, put us on to this J.Crew lookalike sweater that costs under $20 and is the perfect layer to throw on for chilly autumn days. Available in sizes XS-6X and a ton of colors, the sweater is full-length with ribbing at the cuffs and hem, and is made with a lightweight cotton blend. This is a piece you’ll be reaching for all season.

Fluoride is the gold standard for toothpaste, but people with sensitive teeth might prefer nano-hydroxyapatite, as we noted in this story about Boka’s n-Ha toothpaste that’s fluoride-free. The formula is also free of sulfates and parabens, giving it a creamy, low-foam texture that’s still fresh and effective on stubborn stains. Try it in six flavors.

This five-pack of high-waisted underwear is by no means fancy, but continues to earn more fans the more we cover it. The main selling point is the unbeatable comfort: Not only are these made with breathable, moisture-wicking material, but they also feature a full-coverage silhouette and a wider crotch that’s pad-friendly. The size range is also generous; you can get these in a bunch of different color combinations, in sizes S-5XL.

Months ago, HuffPost reported on the "old person smell" phenomenon, wherein increased production of the organic compound 2-nonenal in people over 40 creates a slightly stale, "musty" scent that can be difficult both to smell on yourself and also to wash off.

This highly-rated Japanese persimmon soap bar by Mirai claims to target this particular smell, it became such a popular item that it topped our bestsellers list in March and continues to be a favorite.

The soap contains permission extract with more deodorizing tannins than competitors, as well as green tea extract, which is rich in antioxidants (declining skin antioxidants is one of the causes of "old person smell"). Reviewers claim that the soap's odor elimination lasts for days, and you can use the bar on areas where nonenal odors are strongest, like the back of the neck and behind the ears.

As we noted in previous coverage from September, toenails get harder with age, meaning your old standard nail clipper may no longer be up to the job of trimming them with ease. Enter: this heavy-duty cutter with an ultra-wide jaw opening, which gives you more control and strength for cutting the toughest toenails. (As a bonus, it even works on pet nails, if you have a furry friend who needs this, too!) Your purchase also comes with a stainless steel nail file.

Sometimes the real thing is the best thing, and this is one purchase that’ll make you want to opt for the name brand instead of a knockoff. Apple’s dual port adapter has long been a favorite of HuffPost readers because it frees up outlet space, gives you more USB-C ports (which always seem to be in short supply) and has folding prongs so you can easily pack it for your next trip. Now you can charge your MacBook Air, iPhone, AirPods, Apple Watch and/or iPad in a jiffy.

Cleansing pads so good, they’re getting people to cancel their Botox appointments? Yes, please. RoC’s resurfacing disks can be used to remove makeup, help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and smooth the skin. They use hypoallergenic ingredients and are oil- and soap-free, plus they cost just $12. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Thanks to a Labor Day sale, plenty of people bought this Anker 622 magnetic power bank (which, FYI, is still over $10 off). The MagSafe-compatible charger is a thin 0.5 inches, works with iPhones 12 and above, and even has a built-in foldable kickstand for hands-free use. Try it in five different colors and take it on your next flight, theme park trip or stadium outing.

Even with the weather turning, hot sleepers will still want temperature relief from their sheets, which is where this Lane Linen set can help. The sheets are made with a cooling percale that allows airflow better than microfiber would, ensuring you can sleep comfortably year-round. Each set comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet and one or two pillowcases depending on size (twin-California king). You can get a set in a ton of different colors and patterns.

HuffPost senior shopping writer Lourdes Uribe is our office’s luxury fashion icon, so I more than trust her review of this $50 cashmere blend sweater.

These baking pans were one of the best kitchen Prime Day deals we found back in June. So good, in fact, that senior shopping writer Tessa Flores even bought them for herself, and we saw them go gangbusters once again during Labor Day sales.

"They are made of carbon steel and I was so surprised at how hefty and nice they were," Flores said. “I also like how high the edges are, so I can be confident my roast potatoes aren't going to slide off the pan when taking them out of the oven. If you need to throw out your grimy baking sheets as I did, these are such a good replacement."

The pans are no longer available in the pink hue Flores owns, but you can grab them in a gorgeous blue-gray.

Skin care and beauty products always make it into the top 20, but this Korean arbutin cream is a persistent favorite. Featured earlier in the month, the cream can brighten and also help with pigmentation associated with melasma. One reviewer claimed it took less than three months to see visible results on their sun-damaged skin.

Women weren’t the only ones buying fall sweaters in September. This men’s hoodie also saw some interest, which is no surprise given that it’s been called the “best hoodie in human history.” Made with a cotton-polyester blend, the midweight feel is comfy and soft without being too bulky, and the wide range of colors makes it a fit for everyone’s closet. Try it in men’s sizes S-3XL.

Back in August, we asked a dermatologist about The Ordinary’s Volufiline serum, and she told us that the aptly-named ingredient promotes lipid storage and fat cell maturation to help smooth and plump the skin. The Ordinary is known for their no-frills skin care products that deliver on their claims, and this one appears to be no exception; helping to improve elasticity, plump up areas that lose volume (for example, under the eyes) and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it’s a worthy addition to an anti-aging skin care routine at its $21 price point.

Clinique's Black Honey has stood the test of time and remained an iconic makeup staple for many. At one point in time, it kept selling out, making it nearly impossible for anyone to secure a precious tube. The "Almost Lipstick" formula is a tinted balm that's ultra moisturizing and leaves an emollient-rich, sheer finish with the perfect kiss of color. We can personally vouch for it being worth the money, after five HuffPosters tested it out and documented our findings. We were so impressed, we decided to give it a HuffPost Shopping Award.

This month, HuffPost contributor Alex Aronson wrote about these boxer briefs, which are formulated with rayon made from bamboo, which gives them an airy, soft feel that remains breathable throughout the day. Equipped with four-way stretch and a no-tag waistband, you might even forget you’re wearing underwear at all. You can also choose between three fit types, depending on the leg length you want, as well as a bunch of color combinations. These are sold in four-packs, in sizes S-XXL.

In case you missed it, Uribe reviewed Medicube’s PDRN collagen gua sha neck wrinkle cream, which comes with a built-in applicator tool. The cream contains Volufiline and PDRN, another skin-plumping ingredient, and is meant to be used to target signs of aging on the neck and chest.

“I use it every single day as part of my skin care routine and don’t even notice it once I’ve gone about my day,” Uribe shared. “My neck is incredibly sensitive to active ingredients (I don’t even put serums on it), and I was sure it would irritate my skin. But I’m pleased to report that my neck loves this stuff.” Best of all, you don’t have to get your hands dirty, because the applicator takes care of it.

An old favorite has gained even more fans! We’ve covered this dog bark deterrent device many times, even giving it a HuffPost Shopping Award for its usefulness. The remote is an ultrasonic device, emitting sound that’s too high for humans to hear but that can deter dogs from barking.

As we noted in our previous coverage, within the debate over the best way to train dogs (and the ethics of ultrasonic devices), many dog owners and professionals agree that sonic training is less harmful to pups than shock collars or other more punitive training methods. Rather than “punishing” your pup for barking, users say they see the noise breaking their dog’s focus on barking, almost “snapping” them out of it. Some even say the noise calms their dogs, helping them settle down from barking-induced “chaos.” “We’ve been using this device during our training sessions & it’s worked surprisingly well to interrupt his behavior & redirect his attention,” one review said. “I’m opposed to anything that shocks, so I would definitely recommend incorporating this into your routine.”

This toenail fungus solution comes with a stamp of approval from a board-certified dermatologist in a previous story because it contains 25% undecylenic acid, which she noted has antifungal properties. That’s in addition to the formula's oregano oil and tea tree oil, which are also antifungal and antimicrobial. Reviewers share a consensus that consistency is key, but many have noticed visible improvement within weeks.

Talk about a pain in the neck — if you’re unable to relax because of aches in the neck and shoulder, this cervical stretcher may be able to help provide relief. The ergonomic design includes a curve that matches the cervical spine, so when you lie on it for 10 minutes at a time, you can restore the curve of your neck and give it the support it needs. Try it out in five colors.
