Best October Prime Day deals under $50
One of our favorite teeth whitening strips, this NBC Select staff favorite has the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance. They have hydrogen peroxide that removes stains and is gentle on teeth and gums, according to the brand. There are 36 strips in this box, which is enough for 18 30-minute treatments.
The Echo Dot is a speaker, home theater system, temperature regulator and Wi-Fi extender all in one. It can stream music, podcasts and audiobooks, and it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can set timers, get weather updates and more via voice commands.
This Cerave cream earned a top 10 spot in our list of 100 best moisturizers. It’s gentle, fragrance-free and has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, so it’s a great option for those with very sensitive skin. Although it has a thick texture, it absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no residue or a heavy, uncomfortable feeling, according to our editors.
Make your favorite smoothies using this personal blender, which can hold up to two cups of liquid. It has a simple design: You simply push, twist and blend. In addition to a 24-ounce bottle, you’ll get a cup ring and a to-go lid, so you can take it with you to work, class, the gym and more.
The viral Medicube pads are dual-sided: one side is textured to exfoliate, while the other, softer side soothes and hydrates your skin. “I thought toner wasn’t for me since I have dry, sensitive skin, but now it’s one of my favorite steps in my routine because [these pads] feel so soothing on my skin,” says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez.
Finish Quantum Dishwasher Pods (84-Count)
Stock up on detergent pods with this pack of 84. The pods soak, scrub and rinse dishes while leaving behind a fresh, clean scent.
Poppi is one of our favorite prebiotic soda brands. “I often have more Poppi in my refrigerator than food because no day is complete with drinking a can,” says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. This 12-pack comes with six flavors: lemon lime, grape, orange cream, cherry cola, wild berry and doc pop.
This Aquaphor ointment is one of our favorite hand creams and lip balms because it soothes dry, cracked and flaky skin. It’s very thick, so it’s great for spot-treating rough patches and irritated skin. It has petrolatum, an occlusive ingredient that sits on top of your skin to keep moisture in.
Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Headphones
Listen to music, take calls and connect to multiple devices at once with these over-ear headphones, which have up to 50 hours of battery life. They’re lightweight, have an adjustable headband and soft, cushioned ear pads for comfort.
This is one of our favorite eye creams for dry under eyes. It’s a very lightweight gel-cream, so it melts easily into your skin, and has ingredients like glycerin, squalane and ceramides to help retain moisture, according to the brand. I’ve used this eye cream for years and it’s a great option for my dry, sensitive under eyes during the colder months.
According to experts in our guide to snail mucin, the buzzy ingredient hydrates and plumps the skin while also targeting fine lines. This Cosrx serum, one of our favorite facial essences, is suitable for all skin types, lightweight and hypoallergenic (meaning it’s safe for sensitive skin), according to the brand.
One of our favorite smart lights, these Kasa bulbs have millions of color options, which you can select using the Kasa Smart app, according to the brand. You can also dim or schedule when the lights turn on and off using the app. The bulbs are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use your voice to control them.
