Reviewers are calling this Heeta shower scrubber “a revelation" for its ability to do away with scalp buildup and flakiness. Its silicone bristles are gentle on the scalp — including particularly sensitive scalps, according to reviewers — while getting deep into hair’s roots to cleanse grease.
Its flexible, evenly spaced bristles tackle dirt and dandruff the way only a specially designed tool can, plus I’m able to scrub for longer since my hands don’t get tired. It also provides a nice massage (that studies say helps stimulate blood flow to the scalp)!
It's available in 23 colors.

Promising Amazon review: “I have an autoimmune condition that means I need to be very serious about sun protection, and I got this umbrella for days when I don't want to wear a hat. It's great! It's easy to use, sturdy and copes well with wind. It's also compact enough to carry around easily and to not take up too much room when I'm walking down the sidewalk. It also works well for rain, making it a versatile addition to the stuff I carry with me daily. Coolibar products do tend to be a bit more expensive, but the extra money is worth it for the quality you get and the sun protection the products offer.” — Erika

Behold, a gift that combines two of the best things ever: an Advent calendar, which is truly one of childhood's greatest delights, and an eclectic collection of semiprecious stones (a hidden gem, literally). I don't know what it is about random but special-looking stones — they can sometimes offer more appeal than a toy with way more bells and whistles. The assortment comes with a pouch and five jewelry settings for creating wearable keepsakes. The crown jewel of the assortment (so to speak) is a rose quartz that comes embedded in a stone.

I would classify this incredibly soothing toner as the new "it-girl" of K-beauty products and, as luck would have it, you can find it quietly nestled on the virtual shelves of Amazon this Prime Day. It's been thoughtfully formulated with a pH that's optimal for skin's perfect moisture balance plus, is slightly exfoliating without causing irritation — and this is coming from someone that has very sensitive skin.

We don't talk about the helpfulness of cameras nearly enough — for the home and beyond. According to our price tracker, this mirror dash camera, which has 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon, is the lowest price it's been all year. It seamlessly replaces your existing rearview mirror to offer 24-hour, time-lapsed monitoring plus an ultra-clear 4K touchscreen that's much larger than a standard mirror and enabled with GPS and a night vision mode.
The camera features a 170-degree front lens and a 140-degree rear lens for a broader field of vision, and both views can be seen simultaneously thanks to the mirror's split-screen function.

Crest very well may be the big name everyone thinks of when it comes to whitening strips. However, this 21-treatment-pack is not only a little cheaper, but also features a peroxide-free formula for those who have overly sensitive teeth or weak enamel. Instead, these strips use natural ingredients like mineral-rich dead sea salt coconut oil, sage oil and lemon peel oil to lift stains and protect the good bacteria in your mouth.
Believe it or not, you're more prone to flat tires when the weather changes. This portable emergency air compressor can save you the trouble of having to deal with the often-broken coin-operated machines at the gas station. Connect the wire to your car's 12V outlet and attach the hose nozzle to your tire valve to inflate most standard tires. You can set it to the tire pressure you need and it'll automatically shut off when you reach it to quell risk of over-inflation. The LED screen can also come in handy if you're ever using this in the dark. Simply enter the desired tire pressure and let it work!
Great for preventative road trouble, too, it has a digital tire gauge so you'll always know if you need to top off before a road trip.
For anyone who loves everything that the Stanley tumbler has to offer, but doesn’t want to spend time or money on the brand's higher price point, let me put you on to one hidden gem of a drinking vessel from Amazon that has been drawing many comparisons to — and according to some buyers, outperforming — its buzzier counterpart. Like its competitor, this 40-ounce tumbler has double-walled stainless steel insulation to keep contents hot or cold for longer and has an ergonomic handle that makes it easy to tote around. Another bonus is the tapered bottom, which makes the Simple Modern compatible with most car cup holders.
Where this doppelgänger might have the Stanley beat however, is in its more trusted leakproof design, which according to reviewers, makes it easier to commute with or pack into bags. The insulated lid, which is four-way threaded to allow four different straw placements for your drinking hand preference, features a silicone straw gasket that stops spills even when tipped over. You can find this in several colors and patterns.
Bentgo bento boxesYou've heard of the Bentgo bento boxes (a bestseller last Prime Day) but say "hello" to this clever and compact bento jar from Zojirushi.

Each piece is BPA-free and the bento set comes with an easy-to-carry bag that holds the jar and a forked Spoon with cover.
We know you love the viral Revlon one-step Luminizer that blow dries and straightens at once. However, let us put you on to the other multi-tasking tool trailing right behind it on a few wishlists:

Compatible with various hair types from color-treated to thick and curly, the Tymo claims to offer faster straightening times compared to traditional styling tools and with less heat damage. It features a panel of smoothing teeth and five different temperature settings to create a sleek blow-out look in just one pass.

The dual compartments are also lined with removable tote bags with easy-carry handles so laundry is simple to transport.
Before you grab a pair of widely-endorsed KitchenAid shears, let us point you towards something lesser-known (but infinitely more adorable). From the brand behind the adorable Gracula garlic crusher comes this equally cute (and very functional) pair of bat-themed kitchen shears that are perfect for spooky season and beyond. Not only do they have a near-perfect 4.9 5 stars on Amazon, these Ototo scissors are made from easy-to-clean stainless steel and can also be used to crack walnuts or open bottles.

We bet you've never seen anyone on an airplane with this yet! This ergonomic and adjustable travel pillow is made with "bounce-back" fill rather than overly dense memory foam. The patented overlapping design allows users to get the most support wherever they need it and the entire pillow is machine washable.
Promising review: "This pillow was so comfortable, tight, light, firm for your neck. I bought 2 for my husband and I and we loved them so much. I could turn the high point to any position I turned to and it was so comfortable. Also I could lock my chin in and slept comfortably. Highly recommend!!" — BT & Michael Castro

While the LifeStraw was the number one top seller last Prime Day, we're here to tell everyone who's serious about clean water that there's a heavier duty option on the block. Riccardo Zennaro, coordinator for the UN's Global Wastewater Initiative, previously told HuffPost that when choosing water filters for flood emergencies, passive gravity-fed systems are truly the best for removing chemicals and most microbes.
This gravity fed water system by Waterdrop, like all gravity systems, requires no electricity or running water to work. It has a capacity of over 2 gallons and uses the process of reverse osmosis, in addition to two carbon filters, to effectively filter out a number of impurities. If you're ready to move on from your fridge-bound Brita, it may be time to try out this lesser-known setup.

It's always retinol this and retinol that — and it is good – but don't forget about vitamin C! It's a potent antioxidant for skin that can address hyperpigmentation, dullness and even promote collagen production. TruSkin's popular take on this skin care staple features botanical hyaluronic acid to support hydration and nourishing vitamin E, an ingredient also rich in antioxidants that can protect skin against aging caused by environmental stressors. Some reviewers claim that this award-winning combination has made their skin look brighter and more firm.
If in a potentially dangerous situation inside of a car, this emergency keychain can be important to have. It has a razor-sharp stainless-steel blade that can quickly slice through a jammed seatbelt, and a stainless steel spike that can break through tempered glass. This three-pack ensures that everyone in the family can have one stored in the car.
These aren't regular toothbrushes. They're cool, dentist-designed Mouthwatchers toothbrushes sporting extra-thin "flossing" bristles to help clean deeper and more gently into grooves and gums. For clarity, they're 10 times thinner than typical bristles! While they're certainly popular with Amazon customers, these toothbrushes aren't much of a household name yet — you're not likely to find them in your local CVS.

"It's best to have a turntable that has a high-quality cartridge," Eric Brendo, owner of Sonic Dude Records in Los Angeles previously told HuffPost. The dual magnet cartridge in this Audio-Technica model is the result of 50 years in phono cartridge design. It offers low distortion and improved channel separation to ensure great tonal quality and performance.

If you're not always on TikTok, then you might not be familiar with this powerful Korean serum that's been trending for its use of a unique ingredient not commonly found in American skin care formulations: PDRN. It's an anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing proprietary drug that is normally injected to help improve the overall skin appearance and skin firmness of the recipient. The Iope serum uses a plant-derived version of this ingredient to help with everything from volume loss, the appearance of fine lines and even help with acne. Best of all, reviewers say it truly WORKS. It's very rarely on sale, so you'll want to scoop it now while it's under the usual $50 price tag.
Promising review: "I received the IOPE BIO-PDRN Caffeine Shot Face Serum and absolutely love it! I purchased this after watching a TikTok with Ashley Mixon. Thought it was a bit weird that salmon DNA is used in skin care, but this product is vegan. This has caffeine in it and appears to help the wrinkles around my lips and mouth. I use 2 shots of this on my face and neck, both morning and night after using toner. This serum absorbs into my skin and hydrates. My face doesn't look as dull or puffy and the best part is there is no fragrance which usually irritates my skin. I WILL be purchasing more of this!" — Ken Currie
