We Were Shocked By The Top 20 Amazon Products HuffPost Readers Bought This Month

This super handy power strip checks a couple of boxes for readers and it sold like lightning during Amazon's October Prime Day this past year, with the momentum continuing into 2026. It can keep your home and electronics safe from potential surges or electrical damage, and it gives you literally so many spots (including USB and USB-C) to plug stuff in, so you never have to stress about finding the little butt of the charger. Plus, it comes with a long cord, making it useful for older homes or spaces with limited outlets.

Rated an impressive 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon, it adds up to 12 extra points of power to juice up and run all of your important devices simultaneously, and 30 times faster than a regular charging source. The three-sided design is compact and flat enough to slide beneath furniture, mount on a wall or sit unobtrusively on a desk. The shortest size of this durable braided extension cord spans 5 feet in length, though you can select from six cord lengths in total, ranging up to 25 feet.

Senior shopping writer Tessa Flores wrote about putting these teeth whitening pens to the test this month, 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.

Worried about drooping, dry or dark under-eyes? Contributor Tatayana Yomary wrote about her experience using the Kahi Wrinkle Bounce balm stick, a multi-use K-beauty product that uses jeju oil, collagen and salmon DNA to deliver that "Botox in a stick" effect, as reviewers call it.

"I’ve noticed that the minor fine lines I saw coming in around my eyes have diminished, but beyond that, it’s given my skin an overall gorgeous glow," Yomary wrote. "I also appreciate that the balm’s compact size makes it easy to carry around, especially on cold days when skin dryness is basically inevitable for me. Plus, the balm plays well with my other skin care products, leaving my eyes feeling light and rejuvenated." If you think your under-eyes need a boost, give this a try.

We've previously covered the Aquasonic Black Series ultra-whitening toothbrush, which is ridiculously highly-rated (4.5-star average across over 131,000 ratings) and has reviewers calling it the "9th wonder of the world." The toothbrush offers four brushing modes with a smart timer, 40,000 vibrations per minute (vpm), wireless charging and a four-week battery life. The toothbrush comes with a travel case and eight brush heads, each of which should last you three to four months. That's 2 and a half years of great brushing before you need to repurchase anything — a great deal, if you ask us.

Having inspired a number of creatively worded reviews, this chef's knife that we covered in January for the first time has skyrocketed up the list of most-ordered products. The Japanese knife measures 8 inches and delivers extreme sharpness, but with an ergonomic non-slip handle so you can keep a steady grip on it. The Japanese high carbon steel provides a high quality that makes the relatively affordable price that much sweeter.

P.S. You can get 50% off at checkout on this bad boy if you buy it right now. A steal!

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 when we covered it 11 months later, in January of this year. It's lightweight, water-based and so easy to apply... much easier than booking a Botox treatment.

Now, toothpaste is perhaps not the most exciting purchase. But if we've learned anything about HuffPost readers, it's that they value their pearly whites. If you need to stock up on some new toothpaste, you may be intrigued to learn that our story on a Crest Pro-Health Gum Detoxify Plus toothpaste sale this month led to hundreds of orders. Reviewers say the toothpaste has been a big help in reducing gum pain, with one sharing, "I cannot belive how fast this worked to neutralize the bacteria that was causing my gums to hurt."

This mold stain remover gel that works on washing machines, bathtubs, showers and more went on sale in January, and enticed hundreds of shoppers to order it, according to our internal data. The bottle comes with a pointed tip for precise application, and all you have to do is apply it to the stains, leave it there for three to five hours and then wipe and rinse it away. Reviewers claim this is "the only product that actually works" and lauded its ability to eliminate years-old mold. It's no longer on sale, but a little of this stuff should go a long way, so the $20 list price is still pretty reasonable, if you ask us.

While I don't own the specific model of electric spin scrubber that went on sale in January, I own a similar one and can tell you that the convenience of having one makes it worth the upgrade — especially while this model is still $20 off. A spin scrubber makes it easy to clean the bathtub and other areas that are hard to reach without bending over and straining your back. It gets the job done with so much more efficiency and less effort, turning the chore into less of a nuisance. This one comes with a whopping eight brush heads for different cleaning needs and an impressive 90 minutes of power per charge.

Reviewers adore this cream, which we covered on sale earlier in the month, because it "works like magic" to hydrate dry, cracked feet. The tea tree oil, spearmint and aloe vera formula also boasts antifungal properties. It's not limited to your feet, either: You can use it on other parts of your body where you're dealing with dryness, eczema and more. It may no longer be on sale, but a full price of under $10 makes this still a worthwhile purchase for soothing relief.

Almost all of the products that made this list were under $50 (understandable, with prices generally on the rise), so while we didn't see a ton of shoppers flocking to major appliances like air fryers, they were interested in creative solutions like this crisper tray that we covered in January.

If you don't want to deal with the price of an air fryer — or have one that takes up tons of precious counter space — this two-piece copper tray uses a similar design that lets air circulate through the cage to cook food evenly and crisply without the need for oil. You don't need a separate machine; this goes right into your normal oven, and can hold up to 3 quarts of food.

You know CeraVe, and you might even know their skin-renewing night cream, which has earned an average of 4.6 stars across more than 54,000 ratings on Amazon. Admittedly, this was likely a winner because of our coverage during a super 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.

Skin care and beauty products took up nearly half of this month's top 20, but this Korean arbutin cream is the only one that addresses hyperpigmentation and dark spots. 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.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this unassuming five-pack of gel pens on sale in January. The realization that these have amassed a cult following still stands true, considering how they cracked the top 20 sellers for the entire month. Available in tons of color combos (though all with black ink, perfect for everyday use), the pens glide easily, come with a clip and are great for writing, sketching and more.

Apple's two-in-one USB-C charger went on sale in January, but it's been a draw for tech shoppers long before this month. It's simple, fast and convenient — use it to charge two of your Apple devices at once, from your iPhone to your Airpods or Apple Watch. If you don't want to ever be stuck with a limited number of outlets and multiple devices that need juice, this is a must-have.

Don't just moisturize your face. Thinner, more sensitive crepey skin can show up on your neck, and there are popular products to help, like this anti-aging, firming neck cream we spotted on sale earlier this month. Made in the United States by Eight Saints, the cream contains only eight ingredients, including protein peptides, vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid. They all come together to hydrate the skin and reduce wrinkles, and the cream is suitable for all skin types.

This biotin shampoo has earned 4.3 stars across over 58,000 ratings, and contains rosemary oil, which experts say can help with hair growth. The shampoo is made for thinning hair and reviewers say "the results speak for themselves" and that they "can see an obvious difference" in their hair's growth and thickness. According to the brand, it has an earthy sandalwood scent.

There weren't actually a ton of tech products that broke into the bestsellers list, but if there's one ol' reliable, it's Apple AirTags, which are — surprise! — on sale right now at Amazon.

If you travel a lot, or you're just always losing your keys, wallet or other important items — hey, no judgment here — Apple AirTags are one of the easiest solutions for Apple product users. The AirTag connects with your iPhone or iPad with just one tap, so you'll always know where the item you've attached it to is. When you're looking for something, you can also "ping" the AirTag so it plays a sound and helps you track it down. This is useful for luggage, keys, wallets, cars, pets and more, as thousands of reviews can attest to.

Congestion ruining your sleep? Try out these nasal strips that we covered earlier in the month, which can open your nasal passages for easier breathing. You can choose between an unscented version, eucalyptus or lavender, and one package includes 45 sensitive skin-friendly strips. Using them could not only help you relieve congestion, but can also encourage nose breathing over mouth breathing for better airflow.

If you're in need of an exfoliant, how about this gentle and effective peel we wrote about in late January? Another K-beauty favorite this month, this exfoliating black rice peel can help with skin texture and clogged pores, getting rid of dead skin cells without irritation. "at first i was skeptical, because its a very mild solution but it pulled SO much gunk out of my skin," one reviewer claimed, adding, "my skin has never felt better!"
