Touchland's Power Mist hand sanitizer first made an impact with its incredibly sleek packaging that feels satisfying in the palm and its gentle, ultra-fine mist. It stayed an icon because the formulation is a far cry from the drying and sticky-feeling gel-based sanitizers that you're probably used to. It also doesn't have that strong alcohol smell. I swear by these hand mists because they feel refreshing on the skin, don't irritate my chronic eczema, and I love all the fun scents to choose from. They are on the expensive side for a hand sanitizer, which makes a deal like this something worth taking advantage of.

When I first started hearing about this viral Korean beauty product, I figured the “snail” designation was beauty-speak for something else, but… no, there’s actual snail slime in this stuff and I can personally confirm that works so freaking well. (Snail mucin has been used in cosmetics since the 1980s, when Chilean snail farmers observed that when their skin was in contact with snails, it was softer, and cuts seemed to heal faster.) For a few years now, this incredibly hydrating serum has remained a steadfast staple in mine and countless others' skin care routines for its ability to address dryness and breakouts and just generally improve the look of skin.
