I've tried virtually every toner, and this K-beauty one never lets me down
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. I test hundreds of beauty products every year. It's part of the job — and honestly, part of the fun. From the newest vitamin C serums to under-eye masks, my bathroom counter is a revolving door of bottles, jars and tubes. But if there's one category I always circle back to, it's Korean beauty. There's just something magical about the gentle formulations, the thoughtful ingredients and the way K-beauty treats skin like something to be nurtured, not punished. And when it comes to K-beauty toners, few have impressed me like the Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner. The fact that it's on sale right now? Run, don't walk. Advertisement When I first tried the Anua toner, I wasn't expecting much. I had just finished testing a slew of exfoliating toners that left my skin feeling raw and overly sensitized, and I was craving something — anything — that would soothe the irritation. Enter: Heartleaf. The bottle itself was unassuming, but after the very first use, I could feel my skin exhale. It had been waiting for me to stop with the activities and just give it a break. This is, in its purest form, a rescue mission in a bottle. Amazon Heartleaf, or houttuynia cordata, is one of those quiet powerhouse ingredients you don't hear about unless you're knee-deep in ingredient lists. But, it's revered in Korean skincare for its calming, anti-inflammatory properties and it's the reason this toner is my go-to when my skin is stressed out, breaking out, or just being temperamental. The '77' in the name? That's the percentage of heartleaf extract in the formula. Seventy-seven percent. That's a commitment. What's wild is how lightweight this formula is. It feels like water, slightly more plush, maybe, but sinks in immediately. There's no stickiness, no film or weird scent; just a clean, cool glide that makes your skin feel instantly calmer. I use it morning and night, with a cotton pad or just patted in with my hands if I'm feeling extra lazy. And, no matter what else is going on in my routine, it never pills, never clashes, never causes drama. That's rare. This toner is also a master of balance. You know how some soothing products leave your skin soft but a little too greasy? Or do they calm redness but do absolutely nothing for hydration? Not the case here. Anua's toner has this uncanny ability to comfort while also lightly hydrating, which makes it perfect for literally every skin type. I've recommended it to my oily-skinned friends and my Sahara-dry bestie, and it works like a charm for both. That's kind of miraculous. Honestly, the biggest compliment I can give this toner is that it disappears into your life in the best way. You don't think about it when it's there, but the second you stop using it, you notice. Your skin is a little less even, a little more reactive. That's when you realize: oh, that was the secret sauce. It's one of those behind-the-scenes heroes that quietly holds your routine together. And right now, it's on sale. I don't mean a tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it discount — it's a deal worth stocking up for. This is one of those moments when you should absolutely hit 'add to cart' without hesitation. Because skincare like this doesn't go on sale often, and your future self will thank you when your skin is flaring up from heat, stress or one too many actives and you've got a fresh bottle on standby. There's also something kind of elegant about the simplicity of this toner. Void of a complicated blend of 15 plant extracts, alcohol and artificial fragrance, this clean, focused formula simply does what it promises. What's more, it's conveniently travel-friendly it is. I've packed this toner on multiple trips, poured a little into a mini bottle for flights and even used it as a mini mask soaked into cotton rounds on long layovers. It's just that versatile. When your skin is acting up in a new climate or reacting to recycled airplane air, a swipe of this is like a glass of cool water. You can practically feel your skin saying, 'thank you.' Beyond all the technicals, I think the real reason I love this toner so much is that it feels like a little act of kindness in my routine. It's not flashy, and it's not trying to be a miracle product. It just works, consistently and quietly, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Especially when you've overloaded your skin and are in desperate need of something dependable. I've had moments (yes, plural!) where I've built entire routines around this toner. When my skin was too irritated to handle anything fancy, I'd just use this, a simple moisturizer and sunscreen. That was it. And my skin not only survived, it healed. I think we underestimate how powerful simplicity can be, especially in a world where new launches are coming at us faster than ever. So if you've been hunting for something to calm your skin, balance your routine, or just give your face a moment of peace, this is it. Especially now that it's discounted. And, if you're like me and have tried a million toners that all blur together in your memory, the Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner will stand out. Not because it's flashy, but because it makes your skin feel better every single time you use it.

Amazon Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns). 14.

I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes, with or without lift, and five shades). 17.

Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in six shades). 19.

It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this.

First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" — katy Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack). 29.

I bought this suitcase based on looks alone. It is just so adorable and a perfect carry-on size. I traveled with it for the first time last week and was very impressed with the quality and construction. I dragged it all over Manhattan, and the wheels worked like a dream. The zippers are also very hardy and the handle extension is very smooth. Everywhere I took it, I got compliments from strangers on the street. I will definitely consider buying more sizes from this brand." — Anne Lindeberg Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in three sizes, four colors, and a set of two). 30.

A luxury-scented candle comparable to Le Labo's Santal 33 (we're talkin' rich notes of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood) for folks who are old enough now to want their home to have its very own signature scent.

Amazon Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing.

Promising review:"This product works miracles on my little frizzy curls near my face! I never liked my hair back in a ponytail until I found this.

A set of breathable seamless thongs specifically loved by several reviewers who "never wear" thongs and "hate" thongs. Folks say these are comfortable all day *and* claim they're comparable to (and even better than!) brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. I'm sold. Like, literally. Buying now. Amazon, Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every 'seamless' thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren't that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don't hold sweat. They don't roll. They don't move around. I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I've washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They're wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I've ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they're my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don't exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It's sorcery, I'm convinced." — Ebony Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and nine color packs). 36. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $12.14 (also available in multipacks). 37. A tattoo aftercare salve that'll make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $18.98 (available in two scents). 38. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $123.59 (available in three styles). 39. An elevated laptop tote bag so *dang* good looking you might feel like you should be working for it and not the other way around! Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in nine styles). 40.

Families and other folks who look like *dweebs* slathering on sunscreen are sure to look at your quick application with envy.

Using this product was so fast and easy they didn't even complain!!" — Jeshleigh Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in seven colors and two-packs). 42. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 43. A dishwasher magnet for making sure everyone at home knows whether the dishes inside are g2g or still covered in leftovers. Amazon Promising review:"A stylish, functional little magnet. Eliminates the need to wonder if that cup looks dirty or is it just hard water etc. Also just looks cute on the dishwasher. I do not run mine daily as I have a small household and when it does get filled, more often than I'd like to admit, the clean dishes live in the dishwasher, getting picked off as needed. This makes that process much simpler." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $3.96. 44. An inconspicuous jar opener, because you're not gonna let arthritis, or poor upper body strength, get in the way of your pasta sauce and pickles. Promising review:"I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." — Addie Get It from Amazon for $15.99. 45. A fabric defuzzer that'll clean up sweaters, sofas, and other aging fabrics that have been a real ~pill~ lately. The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. Promising review:"Okay, I don't normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I'm obsessed. I can't stop. I should send this back. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I'm going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." — Sydney Jensen Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and two styles). 46. A storage bean bag so your kid can use their signature "shove the mess where people can't see it" technique and still make their room look, you know, *actually* clean.

Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" — Emily Heilman Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two sizes and seven styles). 47. A wicker basket and terra-cotta warming stone — a gorgeous way to serve your homemade rolls, baked breads, and fresh pastries while keeping them toasty warm at the table.

To use, just place the warming stone in the oven until it's hot, then put it in the bottom of the basket, toss your treats on top, and eat up! Amazon Promising review:"This is a beautiful and functional bread basket and warming plate combo. I absolutely love it. We host a lot and this is a must have for keeping bread, tortillas, or any other pastries warm. It's the perfect size, looks great, is easy to use, and actually works. It also makes a great gift." — Marge P. Get it from Amazon for $63.99. 48. A multi-use car hammer can help you escape from your car in an emergency — the safety edge slicer can cut through your seatbelt and the rounded hammer breaks through windows and windshields. Promising review:"My puppy got tangled in her leash, car seat safety clip, harness clip, and seat belt. The release buckles could not even release because it was twisted so tightly. I knew I had to cut her free, it was such a relief when it hit me I had the seat belt cutter under the seat. I never thought I would use it, but so glad I had it today (pictured above)." — Elizabeth Get two from Amazon for $9.49. 49. An overflow cap for anyone who wants a long soak in a bath that's as full as possible! Amazon, Promising review:"Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub especially, you STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" — anonymous Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight colors). 50. A moisture meter to place deep down into the soil so you know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering is a thing of the past, people! Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed I love having this tool in my home! I jumped on the 2020 plant trend fast and have filled my home with tons of botanicals (that all have different watering schedules). The meter tells you if a plant is being over-watered or under-watered right down to the root, which is very necessary for a plant parent (who used to be a plant murderer) like myself. Promising review:"This item is great. I can check how wet my plants are down where the roots are. So no more over watering! It is very accurate. This works great!!" — Terri Carlson Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three colors). 51. A garlic rocker sure to, ahem, rock your world. This tool is way easier than a traditional garlic press. I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press.

This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant.
