HuffPost shoppers were particularly into skin care and beauty products this month.

Another month is just about over, and if there’s one thing HuffPost Shopping learned about their readers in February, it’s that they have a hunger for effective beauty and wellness products, from hidden gems to viral favorites with a cult following. Even more specifically, products targeted toward mature skin were a clear standout.

In fact, out of the top 20 products bought by our readers on Amazon this past month, more than half were in the beauty category, with another four in the dental hygiene and/or teeth whitening realm. The remaining few were a mix of cleaning, home, tech and wellness products.

If you’re curious about which products shoppers like you have been flocking to, take a scroll through our list below. Some of these garnered over a thousand orders — and a select few are currently on sale, so if you have FOMO, now’s a good time to add them to your cart.

Clinique's Almost Lipstick tinted balm in the shade Black Honey

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 — probably why it goes gangbusters when it's on sale, as it was this month. 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.

Lancôme's Lash Idôle mascara that can give you the 'lashes of a 20-year-old'

“I am 68 years old and my lashes look like lashes of a 20-year-old. I won’t be using anything else,” one reviewer wrote about this lightweight lifting and volumizing mascara, which we covered this month for its effect on aging lashes. It's on the pricier side, but many appear to agree it's worth the buy, boasting up to 24 hours of waterproof wear and featuring a curved wand that lengthens and fans out lashes to prevent clumps.

A K-beauty "miracle cream" for aging skin with salmon DNA

We know what you're thinking: Salmon DNA? But we're serious: PDRN is a trendy collagen-boosting Korean beauty ingredient you might have heard of that is derived from salmon sperm. And plenty of people have experienced the benefits for themselves, because after we covered Anua's PDRN and hyaluronic acid moisturizer early in the month, it ended up among the top three most ordered Amazon products of all of February.

The moisturizer is lightweight, non-comedogenic and designed to be worn under makeup without issue. It especially seems to be a hit among those concerned about aging skin, earning the title "Botox in a bottle."

TheraBreath's whitening toothpaste that's worth its weight in gold

If you haven't heard about TheraBreath's widely beloved toothpastes, just know the line may put your dentist out of work (we're only sort of kidding). That line includes a whitening toothpaste, sold in a two-pack, which is peroxide-free and works to eliminate bad breath and whiten your teeth at the same time. According to the brand, you can see significant results in as little as one week with twice-daily brushing, which could be why shoppers gravitated toward it when we wrote about it and other teeth-whitening products in February.

The toothpaste is minty fresh and made in the USA. While we admit it's far pricier than a lot of toothpaste out there, this is one that seems to be more than worth the extra cost (and can potentially help you save on expensive whitening treatments, as one reviewer pointed out).

A moisturizing retinol body cream for crepey skin

Skin care is about more than the skin on your face, a truth HuffPost readers clearly recognized judging by their interest in this Medix 5.5 retinol body lotion. We were stoked to see that it's only $20 per 15-ounce bottle and contains retinol and ferulic acid to moisturize and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and crepey skin. Reviewers have called it an "exceptional skin care discovery," saying they could "genuinely feel a difference" after a month of use.

A HuffPost writer-approved teeth whitening pen that's gentle on sensitive teeth

Here's another standout from our teeth whitening coverage. Senior shopping writer Tessa Flores wrote about putting these whitening pens to the test, and found that they were much gentler on her sensitive teeth than whitening strips, while still delivering visible results. "After the first morning of application using the pre-filled brush-tipped pen, I felt as though my teeth lightened at least half a shade and looked more luminous overall," she wrote. "After sporadic use over the next month or so, I noticed surface stains continued to lighten, even in areas like around my gumline and between my teeth, where my staining is typically the most stubborn and where whitening strips have the hardest time reaching."

The pens contain a gel with an enamel-safe carbamide peroxide formula, which is easy to precisely apply with the fine pen tip. You can get up to 20 uses out of a single pen, and the shape and size make this whitening treatment easy to take on the go.

These masks for "turkey neck," with jaw-dropping (or... jaw-tightening) results

You've heard of face masks, but how about masks to address the skin on your chin, neck and jaw? These firming shaper masks intrigued many HuffPost readers for their ability to tackle "turkey neck" among those with mature skin — you can see the tightening effect the masks have in the photo shown here. The masks are made with retinol, hyaluronic acid and collagen, and have straps to go around your ears, so you can comfortably wear them for 30 minutes.

The most popular piece of tech this month: A 10-foot extension cord

Instead of more expensive, flashier tech, our readers were more focused on affordable, practical electronics this month, like this extension cord that was on sale for Presidents Day (and is still lower than its typical price right now). The power strip has a 10-foot cord, making it easy to place where you need it and even wall-mount it if you like. The thin, 45-degree angle plug also makes it easy to plug this in behind furniture or without blocking other outlets. The power strip's four-sided layout includes eight outlets and four USB ports, allowing you to charge multiple devices at once.

Yet another crepe-correcting body cream, this time from a beloved brand

Where the Medix 5.5 body lotion was perhaps a bit more under the radar, you may be familiar with Gold Bond's Age Renew Crepe Corrector lotion, which we've featured on HuffPost Shopping a bunch of times (and which went on sale in February). This formula contains antioxidants, botanicals and omega fatty acids — so if your skin isn't a fan of retinol, this could be an alternative to the Medix 5.5 lotion. The Gold Bond lotion's hydration lasts for up to 24 hours, and reviewers claim to have seen "immediate improvement."

An expert-approved toenail fungus treatment

This toenail fungus solution comes with a stamp of approval from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Angela Brimhall in a previous story because it contains 25% undecylenic acid, which she described as "a compound that has anti-fungal properties that disrupt the cell membranes of fungi, inhibiting their growth and reproduction." Brimhall also pointed out that the formula's oregano oil and tea tree oil have antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Reviewers share a consensus that consistency is key, but many have noticed visible improvement within weeks.

An ultra-plush Ugg throw blanket that's still majorly discounted

Ugg's plush, soft, wrinkle-resistant Euphoria Throw made a splash this month when we discovered it was on sale earlier this month. And luckily for you, it still is! You'll find the best price in white, but you can choose from five colors of this fluffy, 50-by-70-inch blanket. It's machine-washable (just don't put it in the dryer), hypoallergenic and — oh yeah — extremely giftable, for anyone you know who could use a touch of indulgent coziness in their home.

A powerful electric toothbrush with a built-in water flosser

"The water flosser could probably power-wash my driveway, and the toothbrush leaves my teeth so squeaky clean I’m afraid I might slip on them," said one memorable review of this affordable electric toothbrush-water flosser hybrid we wrote about in February. Your $40 purchase includes the base (which has four cleaning modes), six toothbrush heads, a jet tip, a hook-like cleaning head, a detachable hose and a charging cable you should only need about once every 30 days. If you've been on the fence about buying a separate water flossing device, this makes combining brushing and flossing easier — and cheaper.

The "unsung hero" of stain removers

The top cleaning product this month is one you may already be familiar with, since it's amassed over 87,000 ratings on Amazon and a 4.4-star average: Miss Mouth's Messy Eater stain treater. This stuff can tackle food, grease, coffee and other stains on your clothes, carpets, linens and upholstery with ease, and it's EPA Safer Choice certified. You just have to make sure to spray it on ASAP, rub in and/or let it set, then clean your laundry or other item as usual. Easy-peasy, and reviewers refer to it as an "unsung hero" and "the best stain remover on the market."

Another electric toothbrush, this time for only $8

Many electric toothbrushes come with a pretty steep price tag, but there's plenty of more affordable options out there. That includes this Coslus toothbrush (we technically covered it at the end of January, but shoppers were still intrigued enough to buy hundreds this month). The toothbrush comes with four brush heads and has five cleaning modes, plus three intensity levels. The motor is also built to last for three years, so this is a lasting purchase for under $10. One reviewer even declared the toothbrush "equal quality" to Sonicare for far less money.

A mascara so good, it became one shopping writer's new favorite

Senior shopping writer Lourdes Uribe, who described herself as "wildly picky" about mascara, reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Bubble mascara this month, with incredible results.

"The formula is buildable, smooth and pumps up the lashes quickly and with ease, adding tons of volume without becoming a sticky mess," she wrote. She added that, after wearing it out, "it lasts all day long with pretty much zero fallout. It comes off easily with micellar water or oil cleanser, and I don’t have to spend extra time tugging off eye makeup or damaging my already fragile lashes. I get compliments often, and most people can’t believe it’s a drugstore brand and that I’m not hiding extensions."

The Bubble mascara comes in three shades, as well as a waterproof version. It has a spiral comb brush to inflate and separate the lashes, which Uribe said "really does look and feel superior to and more innovative than other mascaras I have tried."

A powerful dish spray that cuts grease like magic

A recurring best-seller among HuffPost readers — both during sale events and not — this foaming dish spray works superbly and most professional cleaners will tell you that you can use it to clean more than dishes. We love it so much here at HuffPost that even though it seemed to be most popular during Presidents Day sales at a discount, we still recommend it at full price. Grab this household staple plus refills and you probably won't need to buy dish soap again for a long while.

The $10 "Botox in a bottle" serum that reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Okay, so it's not literally Botox in a bottle — we checked with a dermatologist to make sure, back in February 2025 when we reviewed this Argireline serum from The Ordinary. Still, we learned that its active ingredient can inhibit the neurotransmitters that form dynamic lines on the face, similarly to Botox albeit with less powerful results. Considering how cheap it is and the rave reviews it received, a lot of shoppers seemed to gravitate toward trying out the serum for themselves, even during our more recent coverage. It's lightweight, water-based and so easy to apply... much easier than booking a Botox treatment.

An at-home laser hair removal tool

Far cheaper than salon laser treatments, this at-home hair removal tool caught readers' attention, and it's still at the same sale price right now. As our previous reporting explains, the tool uses intense pulsed light (IPL) for a less painful effect (it just isn't as permanent). It also uses ice-touch technology for a soothing, cooling effect. The tool has nine adjustable levels for different skin and hair types, and can help with unwanted body or facial hair many times over, for a far cheaper cost than making regular appointments.

CeraVe's under-$20 smoothing retinol serum

Let's hear it for CeraVe, always a drugstore skin care favorite among HuffPost readers. Their resurfacing retinol serum, which is "totally unexpected at this price point," helps reduce the appearance of blemishes, pores and post-acne marks. It can also help to calm and brighten the skin, thanks to ingredients like licorice root extract and niacinamide.

And CeraVe's beloved skin-renewing night cream

CeraVe's skin-renewing night cream has earned an average of 4.6 stars across more than 55,000 ratings on Amazon. Admittedly, this was likely a winner because of our coverage during a rare sale, but considering how beloved this is, we think it's still worth the full price. The cream helps restore the skin barrier overnight using skin-nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and a peptide complex. It's also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making it generally safe for those with sensitive skin.
