HuffPost Readers Bought Piles Of These Products In October — And You'll Want Them All

Senior shopping writer Tessa Flores’ personal review from the tail end of September made a splash this month, after she wrote about this Medicube plumping stick, which she called “the closest thing to facial filler I’ll ever get.” The K-beauty multi-balm stick contains 5% Volufiline, which dermatologists previously told HuffPost can create a temporary appearance akin to filler.

“I really like to apply this not just under the eyes, but also along my upper cheeks to help promote a more contoured look and boost the volume that I’ve lost with age and weight loss, as well as on my lips to minimize the appearance of lines and create a plumping effect,” Flores wrote.

She also said, “I really like that the texture isn’t heavy or balmy at all, but instead feels really silky, lightweight and melts into the skin. This means I feel better about swiping this on my face throughout the day or whenever I need a touch of hydration, without worrying that it’s going to completely remove my makeup or make me look greasy. It’s become my new pal on flights as well to help stave off that drying cabin air.”

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.

Earlier this month, Flores asked a physical therapist about the benefits of using a wobble board for improving balance, which can decline with age. The instability of the board encourages you to make micro-adjustments when you stand on it, strengthening your foot and ankle muscles as well as improving your reaction time and ankle control. Reviewers recommend it not only for balance, but also for managing plantar fasciitis pain.

We've been writing about how great the Beckham Hotel Collection pillows are for years, and it's practically a canon event at this point for these to wind up among the bestsellers of each Prime Day sale.

Whether you're a back, stomach or side sleeper, the pillows' "bounce back" ability is great for neck support and relieving pain, according to reviewers. They're also cooling and breathable, a must for hot sleepers.

This toothpaste from Mouthology was so popular, we had to ask a dentist to confirm whether the hype is justified. The toothpaste is fluoride-free and contains 10% nano-hydroxyapatite, a calcium-based compound that can help restore and protect teeth, as well as xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that dentists previously told HuffPost can reduce cavity risk. The toothpaste, which has a fresh mint flavor, is made in the United States and is great for sensitive teeth.

These Trendy Queen wide-leg sweats were a surprise hit on Prime Day — but then again, maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised, given how warm, comfortable and flattering they look. With a fleece-lined cotton-polyester blend, these are perfect for lounging or running errands in colder weather, and they come in a bunch of colors. They also have pockets! Get yourself a pair in women’s sizes XS-XL.

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 its popularity this time around was due to a great Prime Day sale, 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.

This simple cardigan was another popular clothing item from Trendy Queen that saw interest surge on Prime Day. While it’s made with a polyester blend, it looks more expensive than it is, like something from the likes of J.Crew or Quince. It comes in sizes 2XS-2XL and several colors.

If you have milia, or small white bumps under the skin (a condition that becomes more common with age), you don’t have to “fix” it as the bumps aren’t harmful. But if you do want to get rid of them, Cleveland Clinic recommends using adapalene gel, so we covered an OTC option that one reviewer said “is a miracle worker for skin.” The gel is fragrance-free, clear and can “slough off dead skin” to promote cell turnover to help get rid of milia.

We’ve covered this Medix 5.5 retinol body lotion, but Prime Day served as our introduction to the fragrance-free formula, which ended up in many shoppers’ carts this time around. With the same retinol and ferulic acid as the original fragranced version, this lotion aims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and to firm up loose, crepey skin. Reviewers say they “would give this lotion an A+” and “can see a difference in my skin” after a few months of consistent use.

HuffPost readers love Medicube, evidently, and it’s no surprise considering we’re fans, too. We covered this exosome shot 2,000 serum, which offers a gentler alternative to microneedling, a skin care treatment that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and help your other skin care products absorb better. According to reviews, the microscopic needles (or “spicules”) on this product don’t hurt, but are instead more like a mild tingly sensation.

Shoppers say this vibration board, which we covered early in the month and again when it went on sale for Prime Day, has helped their balance get “significantly better.” The board’s vibrations stimulate and activate the muscles, helping you engage your core and work on stabillity.

Admittedly, this one was 50% off on sale, which absolutely contributed to its popularity. Still, we think it’s a worthy investment at its full price if you’re nervous about your balance declining with age.

I'm not at all surprised that this low-maintenance shower cleaner was a bestseller for October, as it does numbers every Prime Day. I buy this for myself nearly every time it goes on sale, and can attest to how it just melts off grime soap scum and stains in my tub. It works on so many surfaces, comes in two scents, and comes in a massive jug that should last you a while.

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.

My dad and I are both big fans of Premier Protein shakes — they're ready-made and don't require any mixing or blending, which makes it so much easier to just grab them and go. They also don't taste powdery or grainy, and nearly every flavor I've tried has been a winner.

Adapalene isn’t the only solution for milia bumps; these First Aid Beauty Brighten + Glow facial radiance pads are also popular for smoothing and evening the skin. The pads are formulated with lactic and glycolic acids for exfoliation. According to an aesthetician interviewed in previous HuffPost reporting, these alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are helpful for addressing milia because they “dissolve dead skin buildup on the surface, smooth texture and prevent cyst formation.”

The pads are also designed to work well on sensitive and acne-prone skin, without irritation. They’re alcohol-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free, and the exfoliating toner helps to clear clogged pores as well as smooth, even and brighten skin tone. “These have been a staple in skincare routine since 2024. They leave my skin feeling so clean and exfoliated, without being irritated,” one reviewer shared. “I often find products like these to be harsh and irritating, but these are gentle.”

“I’m 61 years old and have had milia under my eyes for years,” one person wrote. “THEY’RE GONE after using this product. I can’t believe it!”

This story on the VG Vogcrest facial trimmer is technically from September, but it saw interest heading into October as well. For only $21, the trimmer can help you get rid of peach fuzz and stray eyebrow hairs in quick, precise and — perhaps most importantly — painless fashion (raise your hand if you hate the feeling of ripping hot wax off the delicate skin of your face). The trimmer, which comes in seven colors, is easily portable for travel and comes with a built-in LED light to help you see what you’re doing at all times.

Sometimes, recovery, travel, limited mobility or other factors can prevent you from being able to take a regular shower — but you still deserve to feel fresh and clean. Enter: these XL shower wipes that we wrote about last month. Packaged in six travel-ready pouches of 10, the wipes come in three different scents and have a textured surface to lift away dirt and grime. They’re also, as the name implies, generously sized at 12 by 8 inches to help you get clean all over.

“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 also saw Prime Day interest 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.

Can you believe it? A third Trendy Queen item has cracked the top 20. This time, it’s another cozy essential for fall and winter: a mock neck sweater with an oversized fit that you might just want to live in all season long. Like the sweatpants above, this is made with a cotton-polyester blend. It also has a slit on one side of the neck, for a unique asymmetrical touch. Get it in sizes XS-2XL and a ton of colors.
