These skin care bestsellers are dominating Amazon in March — but should you buy them?
The invisible version of these Mighty Patches from Hero Cosmetics made our list of best pimple patches. You get 36 patches in a box and they solely rely on the hydrocolloid gel to draw out any sebum or debris from your skin, making them gentle for sensitive skin. Put one on a blemish before bed and you'll notice a sizable reduction in your zit by morning, according to the brand. These pimple patches have a 4.6-star average rating from over 171,570 reviews on Amazon.
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL
After you wash your face, you likely dry it on the same towel you shower with. The problem? That towel could be loaded with bacteria that you then transfer to your face. Instead, use these disposable face towels. They come in a box of 50 and can dry your face or remove makeup. The towels are unscented, soft and can be composted. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 31,840 reviews on Amazon.
Dermatologists have told us to be wary of highly fragranced body lotions, as they can be drying or irritating — but they made an exception for this one, which has a 4.7-star average rating from over 33,885 reviews on Amazon. It smells like vanilla and is packed with humectants, emollients and occlusives like shea butter, glycerin, cocoa seed butter and petrolatum to hydrate skin, according to the brand.
Makeup wipes are a handy way to take off your face at the end of the day and these from Neutrogena are very popular — they have a 4.8-star average rating from over 114,837 reviews on Amazon. This set comes with two packs of wipes, with each containing 25 wipes. The wipes are soaked with a micellar-infused formula to remove makeup without stripping skin, according to the brand.
Use these affordable cotton rounds to remove eye makeup, apply toner or even remove your nail polish. You get 100 hypoallergenic cotton rounds in a pack, which come in a resealable bag. These cotton rounds have a 4.6-star average rating from 41,383 reviews on Amazon.
BioDance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
This gel mask is beloved on TikTok, with reviewers saying it leaves skin plump and glowy. It's made of gel, so it feels cooling and calming as you wear it. The mask comes in two pieces for easier application. The mask, which has a 4.3-star average rating from over 12,990 reviews on Amazon, is soaked in a serum that contains collagen to plump and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, according to the brand.
Amazon Basics Cotton Swabs
Cotton swabs are a beauty staple used to clean up smudged liner, apply balm or gloss or clean dirty ears. This box comes with 500 double tipped swabs covered in 100% cotton. They have a 4.7-star average rating from over 53,110 reviews on Amazon.
Another one of my beauty staples, La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer hydrates skin without making it feel greasy. It works for all skin types and contains ceramides and niacinamide to hydrate and improve your skin barrier. This moisturizer can be used morning and night and a little goes a long way. It has a 4.6-star average rating from over 64,610 reviews on Amazon.

The Oura ring is my favorite tracker — it has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day
As a fitness editor, I've tried pretty much every wearable out there. From the all-new Whoop 5 to the Apple Watch, I love a fitness tracker, and I've tested them all. They range in price and what they offer in terms of features, and of course, some are more impressive than others. However, there's one device I've personally been wearing solidly for years — the Oura ring (was $299, now $199, and it currently has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day (July 8 to July 11). My Oura ring has never let me down. I use it to track my sleep, energy levels, menstrual cycle, and recovery, and this tiny, chic device has helped me take my health and wellbeing to new heights. The only drawback is that it's expensive. But, that's no longer an issue thanks to the current saving. The Oura ring 4 ($349, was voted the best smart ring on the market by senior tech writer Alex Lee, and despite Samsung recently launching its Galaxy ring, Oura remains a firm favorite for fans of wearables, myself included. I love how the gold finish matches the rest of my jewelry and how lightweight, well-fitting, and easy to wear it is. Of course, you can also get the Oura in silver and cool, minimalist black as well as rose gold. The ring uses sensors inside the band to track variables that feed back information on your sleep quality, heart rate, and a raft of other health markers. To benefit from the discount and learn why I think you should invest, keep scrolling. If you're shopping for a tracker that simply measures fitness levels, there are plenty to choose from, but what makes the Oura ring special is that it offers much more. Not only is it small, lightweight, and easy to wear, but it also offers a range of insights that other trackers don't. My favorite features are the daily tags you can add to your activity log and the cycle calendar, which helps track your mood, sleep, and energy levels and predict the coming phases of your cycle. I've also found that I've been able to improve my sleep quality using the Oura ring — the sensors track your heart rate variability to track how long you spend in each phase of light, deep, and REM sleep, and by checking this and adapting the environment in my bedroom, taking my supplements at different times and going to bed earlier, I've been able to improve my overall sleep scores and rest better thanks to the ring. While the ring and subscription to the app aren't exactly cheap, this has been one of the most worthwhile investments I've made for my health. Oura ring 3 vs Oura ring 4 The deal on the third-generation Oura ring is impressively low and this is likely because Oura recently launched the ring 4. So, should you buy the newer model over the less expensive ring 3 that's on sale right now? Well, this all depends on what you're looking for in a smart ring. Both the Oura ring 3 and 4 are titanium-based, but the inside of the newer version is now wrapped in high-grade metal instead of the plastic used on the gen 3. The Oura ring 4 is also lighter, at 3.3-5.2g (depending on size), compared with 4-6g. While both versions of the ring promise to deliver similar metrics and insights, the ring 4 features an improved sensor platform that sits flusher with the ring, and it has an improved battery life, which is up to eight days, compared with the ring 3's seven days. In his review of the latest Oura ring, tech expert Alex said: 'The main benefit that the Oura ring 4 provides, compared with the gen 3, is improved durability, comfort and accuracy. This isn't a generational upgrade over the Oura ring 3, merely strengthening its position as the best smart ring out there for sleep tracking and recovery.'
