This Aveeno body wash is lightly scented and comes in a generous 18-ounce bottle. The wash is formulated for normal to dry and sensitive skin and contains soothing oats. It received a high skin safety score from CR partner SkinSafe.

We’re a big fan of multitasking, and this 2-in-1 body wash and shampoo from Honest Co. is right up our alley. In our body wash evaluations, we found its creamsicle fragrance faint and pleasant, though slightly drying, and its bottle easy to use and dispense from.

AKT was our deodorant top pick in our evaluations. It comes in a tube and needs to be applied by hand, which may take some getting used to, but its strong performance makes it well worth it. It kept us dry and smelling fantastic all day, even through intense workouts.

This whole-body deodorant from Lume comes in a two-pack, available in 12 fragrances. According to the manufacturer, it provides 72 hours of sweat and odor protection, and its key ingredients include mandelic acid and caffeine.

This 2-pack of Mando Whole Body Deodorant is offered at 39 percent off its price. Its key, odor-fighting ingredient is mandelic acid, and it comes in nine scents and one unscented version. In our evaluations, we found it worked well at combating odors, but its fragrance is strong (just be sure you’re okay with that).

Native Deodorant has a wide applicator and comes in a unique sea salt and cedar scent. It offers up to 72 hours of protection, according to its manufacturer. In our evaluations, it left white marks on dark clothing, so be cautious when applying it.

This aluminum-free deodorant from the classic brand Old Spice was found to have a strong scent in our evaluations, but if you don’t mind an intense fragrance, it can keep you dry—and it comes in a three-pack for 30 percent off.

This unique deodorant gel contains skincare ingredients such as AHA, mandelic acid, and witch hazel. It didn’t irritate our skin during evaluations, but it also didn’t keep us dry for longer than a few hours, so reapplication may be necessary. We also weren’t a fan of its scents, and this unscented version was our pick among them.

Saltair earned CR’s seal of approval after we discovered it leaves no trace—not even on black clothing. We also liked how dry it kept us and its reusable packaging. It comes in packs of two in five scents.

Salt & Stone was our pick for most heavenly scents in our deodorant evaluations. The aluminum-free deodorant also kept us dry all day long. It comes in six scents, including black rose & oud (one of our faves) and neroli and basil.

These cult-classic dry facial cloths are made from soft cellulose fiber that quickly absorbs moisture from our skin without ripping, leaving lint, or irritating our skin. They performed well in our lab abrasion tests and come in a small, discreet box that’s easy to store and dispense.

In our dry shampoo evaluations, we discovered that this pick from Klorane absorbed oil from the scalp the fastest, though it can also leave hair feeling a bit drier. We liked its faint baby-powder scent and agreed that it gave our hair noticeably more volume that lasted about a day.

It isn’t often you find a curling iron for less than $20. This one wasn’t our favorite in our evaluations (it snagged hair), but it created bouncy curls and features 30 temperature settings. We found a lot to like about it, and it’s on sale for 31 percent off.

Michael Todd was CR’s top pick for best electric dermaplaning tool. It was comfortable to hold and grip, removed peach fuzz with ease, and comes with several replacement blades. It even delivers a comforting vibration that we grew to love.

This 1.5-inch hair straightener features tourmaline ceramic plates and an adjustable temperature that reaches up to 410°F. It also takes 30 seconds to heat up and has an auto shutoff feature that turns it off after one hour, so you don’t have to worry that you left it on.

This flat was CR’s top pick thanks to several features: it heated up in just 21 seconds, stabilized the fastest, and maintained a consistent temperature over time. Our testers all loved the way it made their hair straight and sleek in no time.

Hot Tools hair styling tools are a common sight at hair salons, and for good reason. Our evaluators found that this flat iron heated up fast and was easy to use. It has variable heat settings to give users more control, and the plates are slightly longer than most straighteners, a feature that could be useful for styling longer hair. It’s important to note that the temperature consistency isn’t reliable and could vary by as much as 20 degrees from the set temperature during use. It has a 2-hour window before it automatically shuts off, so you’ll want to remember to unplug it after every use.

This medium-hold gel has a floral, fruity scent. One evaluator said the silky product had the perfect amount of hold without weighing down her 2C-3B curls, and it controlled frizz well. However, another evaluator, with very thick 3A-B curls with low porosity and dense strands, thought it created knots and frizz for her on day two.

Our curly-haired testers loved this gel from Pattern, and made it their pick for creating volume and combatting frizz. They described it as having a medium hold, with a smooth, non-sticky texture and a pleasant herbal and floral scent.

Although this Conair hair dryer has limited settings and a short cord, compared to our top picks, its real draw is that its price can’t be beat. It features three heat and two speed settings, with a cool-shot button. A concentrator nozzle is included to help direct heat where you need it.

This classic Dyson hair dryer remains one of our top picks. It comes with magnetic attachments that can be easily rotated without removing them, and delivers super-strong airflow on its highest setting. It’s also relatively quiet, though we noticed the controls are on the smaller side and may be more difficult to see for some people.

This top-rated hair dryer from Dyson is lightweight and powerful and comes with a number of impressive features, including five magnetic attachments: powerful air, concentrator, comb, diffuser, and flyaway smoother. It also proved to be one of the quietest hair dryers in our tests, as well as the hottest—it measured 121°F on its highest heat and speed settings.

The Laifen is a budget-friendly hair dryer, even when it’s not on sale, and this is just a few dollars more than the best price we’ve seen in months. It’s similar in appearance to the Dyson Supersonic: T-shaped, with a compact head that makes it easier to hold. Its concentrator attaches magnetically and can be rotated without taking it off entirely. Our testers found the buttons well-designed and easy to use, and the icons easy to read. Plus, it’s not too loud, reaching 79 decibels in our tests. The Laifen comes with only one attachment (a concentrator), and lacks a one-touch cool shot. It’s the least hot of all the hair dryers we tested, reaching 108° F in our tests on its highest setting. And at 71 inches, the Laifen’s cable is the shortest of all our recommended dryers.

The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex competes with the highly sought-after Dyson models, but at more than half the price. Like the Dyson models, our testers liked how easily the attachments snapped onto the hair dryer, and how you can rotate them without removing them. Its airflow is so strong that when turned on, it has a kickback. 

It has another high-end feature: its IQ Speed Styling & Drying Suite automatically adjusts heat and speed depending on the attachment. The attachments are unique and feature-rich, including the Frizzfighter, which is helpful in making sleek bangs (and flyaways). The diffuser features different prong lengths depending on hair type, and its brush attachment includes boar bristles. Its highest temperature reading in our tests was 115° F.

At 40 percent off, it’s a steal.

The Revlon One-Step Volumizer is beloved for a reason: It just works. One tester shared this pro tip to achieve the best results: Keep tension on the hair and work in smaller sections. Otherwise, you may end up with a head full of frizz.

In our at-home evaluations, this straightening comb worked best for testers with curly hair. It has five temperature settings, an auto shutoff feature, and is extremely lightweight. One tester especially liked that it could straighten the hair right at the root better than the Drybar Straightening Brush it was tested against.

This oversized hair bonnet feels soft and is simple to set up. It comes with a hose that funnels the heat from your blow-dryer to the bonnet. It tightens around the neck with a strap and is available in blue, purple, and black. In our evaluations, we found that it works well and heats up quickly, but it was also loud and not the most comfortable bonnet to wear.

This steamer was the only one we tried that made no noise. We found it comfortable and effective, and a cinch to use. It was easy to store, too. It’s marked down 20 percent for this sale.

A microfiber hair towel can absorb water from your hair faster than cotton, plus it helps keep frizz at bay. In CR’s hair towel evaluations, we chose this one from DevaCurl because it provided the best absorption, and its texture was fluffy and silky.

This scented lip mask has a subtle tint, so it can be worn day and night. It’s thick, somewhat sticky, but incredibly moisturizing. Choose from a number of shades and scents, such as berry, gummy bear, and grapefruit.

This moisturizing lip balm from Laneige comes in delightful scents like vanilla and blueberry that CR evaluators loved. Some of the options even offer a subtle hint of color for those mornings when you want a pop without the fuss. We found it slightly sticky and tacky, but the tackiness went away after the formula absorbed.

Mattifying lip products are rarely actively hydrating, and this tinted lip balm from NYX Cosmetics was no exception. Ginger Cowles, a managing editor at CR, who liked its velvety texture and didn’t initially find it drying, said that after wearing it for a couple of days, “my lips started to feel drier than usual. That tells me that even though it has a slight balm consistency, it’s not as potentially moisturizing or smoothing as the other products we tested.”  It’s well worth it, though, in her view. “I love the color so much that I’m willing to take that trade-off by using Aquaphor or Vaseline on my lips when I’m not wearing a tinted balm.”

This elegant lip mask has a jellylike texture and a light scent, and we found that it feels smooth, thick, and moisturizing on our lips. But be prepared to apply it with the little included applicator—it’s an extra step, but a sanitary one.

This is one of the first-ever micellar waters, and is now a classic. It’s lightly hydrating and has a subtle scent, though our evaluators had mixed reviews with how well it removed makeup. This one’s probably better used as part of a two-step cleansing routine rather than on its own. 

This lightly scented micellar water from a popular French brand landed in the middle of every evaluator’s ranking. “It gets the job done,” said one evaluator. Another said it required a few swipes with a cotton pad to remove tubing mascara, “but nothing too strenuous.” Although the company claims that its product is designed for sensitive skin, the inclusion of fragrance means it might not be right for everyone.

These 5-blade razors come in a 12-pack and include a shower holder for convenience. In our tests, we found them to be lightweight and not especially flexible, but their low cost is undeniable (just go slowly around your knees and joints).

This 5-blade razor can be conveniently attached to your shower wall with a magnetic holder and includes four refills (plus, it comes in sweet colors like cool blue, coral, and mint). In our evaluation, we discovered they didn’t have the sharpest blades, but they work fine in a pinch (consider adding shaving cream to your routine to help the blade glide along).

The Gillette Venus was a clear winner in our evaluations of the best razors. The silver handle is pleasantly weighted, and it has a grippy spot for your thumb that makes it easier to hold in the shower, and the razor head has a large lubricating strip. Since the head is so bulky, you may need to angle it carefully while shaving difficult areas, such as the hollow of an underarm or an ankle.

CR testers agreed: Harry’s Original Razor provided the closest, cleanest shave without irritation in our evaluations. It has a small head that glides over curves and a rubberized handle grip that makes it much easier to maneuver around tricky body parts such as the chin, knees, and ankles. It has an aloe-infused strip and comes with three blade refills.

Our evaluators found that the St. Tropez Classic Bronzing Mousse was the perfect beginner’s self-tanner, creating a light, believable golden color and being easy to apply. It was the best pick for lighter skin shades because it was too subtle to make darker skin shades pop. We didn’t notice any color transfer after the application.

This comfortable, soft eye/sleep mask from Mzoo is our top pick in our evaluations. It has contoured memory foam eye coverings that don’t smush your eyes or lashes, and a slider buckle to adjust it properly around your head (no Velcro means a lower chance of snagging hair).

This Supergoop sunscreen comes in a mist formula for better absorption and features SPF 50 and vitamin C, which is an antioxidant. It’s sweat and water-resistant up to 80 minutes and comes in four scents: citrus, vanilla orchid, sunny citrus, and coconut.

In our evaluations of facial sunscreens, we found this one from La Roche-Posay works best on oily, normal, and combination skin. It has a thinner, more watery texture, but didn’t leave our skin shiny (which is a big plus). It contains SPF 30 and comes in different tints to give your skin a flush of color.

In our evaluations, this hanging organizer from Bagsmart didn’t hold as many items as the Nishel, but it features elastic straps to help contain bottles and a water-resistant polyester exterior. It comes in two sizes and a choice of 19 colors and prints.

The Nishel Travel Toiletry Bag is a hanging organizer, meaning you can hang it on the bathroom door with every compartment laid out in full view. This bag, on sale for 27 percent off, is an antidote to disorganization. It has several compartments, two of which have different-sized mesh pockets. Our evaluator also noted that it has a large capacity but still zips up easily even when full. The low price is reflected in the quality of the material, however, so if you don’t mind the fabric looking a little on the cheaper side (the reviewer noted theirs attracted a lot of dust) this could be a great choice.
