We Tested Hundreds Of Products In 2024 — Our Editors & Readers Loved These The Most

Our editors are constantly testing new products, but we only share those that we truly love. One of my favorite things to do at the end of each year is to see which recommendations our readers have been shopping the most—because when I find a product I can't live without, I immediately want other people to experience it.

Used regularly by wellness fanatics such as Gabby Bernstein, Lauren Bosstik, and (of course) yours truly, the HigherDose Infrared PEMF Mat works its magic within minutes, significantly improving my sleep, mood, recovery, and overall well-being.

Plus, nothing makes our editors' HRV scores soar more than sessions on our PEMF mats.

PEMF technology has been touted as a beneficial treatment for inflammation1 and improved tissue regeneration1, along with sleep issues2 and energy fatigue3. And when you add infrared heat to the equation, you up the ante with additional anti-inflammatory4, recovery5, and pain relief6 benefits.

Words cannot express how happy I am that the shower filter craze is spreading. Over the past year, the Canopy Filtered Showerhead transformed my hair and skin, making redness, tight skin, and breakouts a distant memory (a sentence I thought I’d never say).

ICYMI: 85% of the country has hard water and nearly half of U.S. tap water has "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in it7—and the contaminants found in unclean or hard water can decrease hair strength, increase shedding8, and disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, leading to redness, irritation, and inflammation9.

Topicals are getting sophisticated—but nothing prepared our senior beauty editor for her results from this ShapeShift V-Line Jaw Defining Serum. The unique formula uses exosomes (plant-based stem cell messengers) to smooth and sculpt skin from within.

Most exosome-infused products cost upwards of $200. ShapeShift is a fraction of the price at $58—yet it features proprietary tech that rivals luxury options. Thanks to its unique ingredient list, affordable price point, and fast-acting, research-backed results, the ShapeShift sculpting treatment sold out quickly after launch and again after the initial restock.

I own a ridiculous amount of sneakers, but If I could only wear one pair of walking shoes for the rest of my life it would be the KLAWs—especially in cooler months. 

The cloud-like sneakers were designed by New York podiatrist Nelya Lobkova, DPM, and they have the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) seal of approval, denoting that they’re beneficial to your foot health.

Not only do they keep my feet comfortable and supported during 12,000 to 15,000 steps per day, but the chunky design is a magnet for compliments. Which, by the way, is probably why they’re constantly selling out.

The original Solawave Skincare Wand was my very first foray into the red light therapy space, and let's just say I never looked back. Nearly three years later, I still swear by this handheld device to keep my skin looking glowy, plump, and sculpted.

Combining microcurrent and red light technology, the viral wand reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, blemishes, and dark spots, revealing a more radiant complexion overall. It's travel-friendly and easy to use, with results in as little as three minutes per day.

This expert-developed light uses a low-intensity wavelength of red light (630 nanometers) to promote natural melatonin production and ease you into a deeper, more restorative sleep. The Helight is based on NASA research10, and it works better than any sleep tool I've tested but requires virtually zero effort.

On nights when I use my Helight, I fall asleep within 10 minutes and I sleep straight through until morning. Not only do I have the Oura scores to prove it, but I can tell based on how I feel the next morning: rested and restored.

There's a reason Cariumas have been spotted on celebrities like Helen Mirren, Ashton Kutcher, Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, and Jon Hamm. These vegan, sustainable sneakers are comfortable, supportive, and undeniably chic.

In fact, our deputy commerce editor once walked 50,000 steps in a single weekend in the Cariuma Salvas and didn't feel an ounce of discomfort.

As for me, I love the Salvas—but my favorite Cariuma style is the Oca Lows, which were a close second for our readers this year. I love that they're versatile enough to wear with just about any outfit. I've rocked mine with activewear, workwear, dresses, skirts, jeans, and shorts—and I always get compliments.

Your neck and chest are some of the first areas to show signs of aging, yet they rarely get the extra attention they deserve. This clean, science-backed formula from Three Ships drew me in with rave reviews from women of all ages who said it did more to tighten their skin than luxury options (and at a fraction of the price).

One woman writes, "Over the last few years, I have grown quite self-conscious of my neck's sagging skin. Within a couple of days (yes, days!) of using this cream, my skin was visibly firmer and smoother." 

Another says, "I could visibly see diminishing lines after one week and noticed healthier skin still existed!! Now my neck is matching my refreshed face as well!!" 

Red light has been shown to reduce acne lesions11 and improve skin complexion12, skin tone, skin smoothness, and collagen density, among other benefits—and the Bon Charge Red Light Mask stands out in a sea of options.

It has an impressive 240 LED bulbs, with a higher irradiance than many others we’ve tested. The mask also has an EMF-free design, and it’s made from medical-grade silicone that feels soft against your skin.

Within a few days of testing the Bon Charge mask, our deputy commerce editor said her skin “glowed from within." Her redness faded, and her entire complexion brightened.

Improving your sleep is truly one of the best things you can do for your health. Poor sleep doesn't just leave you tired. It can also impact cognitive function, mood, and metabolic health.

Fortunately, hemp CBD is a science-based solution to encourage relaxation and support better sleep—and I've seen these benefits firsthand. When I take CBD before bed, I have higher Oura scores, and I wake up feeling so much more rested.*

After I tested over 20 CBD products for sleep, these Cornbread gummies became my go-to pick for restless nights.* The USDA-certified organic gummies opt for better-for-you ingredients but still taste great, with a sweet berry flavor and soft, fresh texture.

I'll always have a soft spot for the Jolie. It was the very first shower filter I ever tested and the gateway into my obsession. After years of frustrations with dry, lackluster skin and dull, brittle hair, I installed this sleek, photo-worthy device—and my results left me floored.

Similar to the Canopy, the Jolie is tested to NSF certifications and uses a proprietary blend of KDF-55 and calcium sulfite to remove chlorine and heavy metals.

As soon as I experienced the softer skin and healthier hair from cutting these harsh chemicals out of my water, I immediately made my boyfriend install a Jolie in his shower so I'd never have to be without it.

Nearly 90% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health, which can be detrimental to your immune function, body composition, cardiovascular health, energy levels, and longevity.

The good news? You can improve your metabolism. That's why I'm so obsessed with the Lumen Metabolism tracker, a handheld device that gives you real-time insights into your metabolic health with suggestions for how to optimize it to promote fat burn, weight loss, and improved energy.

I've been using the Lumen for three months, and I've already learned so much about my own metabolism. It feels like I finally have a window into what's going on in my body, and I have so much more energy throughout the day.

Remember the Rescue Balm Brook Shields called a “thirst-quenching game changer” for dry, fragile skin? Any time we feature this cult-favorite, it flies off the shelves (and for good reason).

Our editors (and their moms!) can attest that this natural salve instantly relieves chapped, sensitive skin—even thinner areas that often appear more crepey like the neck and chest.

Your hands are one of the first areas to show signs of aging—and while I've learned no product is a miracle-worker, the Soft Services Theraplush Repair Treatment is pretty darn close.

With my very first application of Theraplush earlier this year, I immediately understood why it’s always selling out. My hands looked younger after just one use. The rich, nourishing cream uses colloidal oatmeal, panthenol, and retinol to support the skin barrier and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots.

At first I was a little intimidated to test the Dame Com, as I typically gravitate toward smaller toys (like the Pom or Fin)—but it quickly won me over. I’m not surprised so many women say this best-selling toy is unlike any other they’ve tried.

In case you’re new here: There’s more to self-pleasure than simply how good it feels. Orgasms can boost your mood, strengthen your pelvic floor, help you sleep better13, and even improve your skin (among other benefits).

And reviewers say the Dame Com makes self-exploration fun, even for women who don't generally like sex toys. Whether you're already a fan of wand vibrators and looking for a worthy upgrade or you're completely new to the sex toy game, all signs are pointing to this best-selling vibrator as a no-brainer for enhanced pleasure.

With a tiny New York City closet, it’s not easy to add another pair of sneakers to my already massive collection. But there's something about the Adidas Sambas that drew me in like a siren earlier this year. 

Perhaps it was the many celebrities who rock these trendy shoes daily, or maybe it was my fine-tuned sneaker radar telling me this pair belonged in my closet. Either way, I'm thankful for it daily. 

Not only are these shoes chic, comfy, and versatile, but they’re also expert-approved. Podiatrist Dina Gohil, DPM, says they're a suitable walking shoe thanks to their durable construction. "Adidas Sambas offer decent support, especially in the midfoot and heel areas," Gohil confirms.

After learning most air fryers contain toxic chemicals linked to a slew of health concerns14—think metabolic and thyroid challenges, adverse birth outcomes, and in some extreme cases, higher incidence of cancer—I immediately set out to find the best non-toxic swap. 

I knew the Our Place Wonder Oven would give me peace of mind, but I wasn’t prepared for just how much I could love a kitchen appliance. 

I own 30+ pairs of leggings, but this pair simply cannot be beat. A 10 out of 10 on the softness scale, the fabric looks like it was painted on. They feel like butter against my skin, and I love the way the leggings move with my body.

After just a few wears of the Vuori AllTheFeels leggings, I knew I'd need a second pair—not because they aren't durable, but because I never wanted to rely on my wash cycle. The eco-friendly materials truly stand the test of time. I’ve had mine for years and they still look brand new.

We all have different pleasure preferences, but there's a reason the rabbit-style vibrator is one of the most iconic sex toys across the board. 

Its unique, powerful shape hits just the right spots for internal and external stimulation, making it a top choice for those who want to explore various pleasure zones.

Of course, not all rabbits are created equal—and many say Smile Maker's Artist reigns supreme. This sleek, affordable vibrator is easy to use and surprisingly quiet, and the body-safe silicone feels so soft against your skin.

Podiatrists have recommended the Hoka Clifton 9 to mindbodygreen for running, walking, or long days of standing—specifically for those with knee pain or wide feet. Plus, the shoe has earned the APMA Seal Of Acceptance.

They have a MetaRocker™ design, which provides smoother heel-to-toe transitions and helps propel your foot forward as you move.

The thick cushioning is surprisingly lightweight, allowing you to still feel the ground under your feet as you run or walk (while still protecting your joints from harsh impact).

I could stay here all day listing the benefits of orgasms—and I’ll take any opportunity to talk about the toy that gets me there every time. But the short of it is: This is one device you need to try for yourself. 

Where other vibrators are loud and clunky, the crowd-pleasing Maude Vibe is quiet and unassuming. In fact, I leave it on my nightstand without a second thought. 

Potential overshare: Since I first tried the Maude Vibe earlier this year, I’ve been orgasming way more frequently (read: every time I use it). I can truly feel the benefits—and I'm not the only one.

Our editors simply cannot stop talking about EBY's comfy and supportive bras—and I'm so excited to see how many mindbodygreen readers are jumping on the EBY train!

This bestselling Support Bralette offers wire-free support with a smoothing design that stays in place without slipping, bunching, or discomfort. 

Oh, and it's virtually invisible under clothing. The Support Bralette comes in sizes XS to 2XL and is comfortable and supportive enough for all-day wear.

While I've picked up some great weightlifting tips—like the importance of consistency, proper form, and quality nutrition—the most important thing I've learned is the importance of the right footwear.

Experts strongly urge against lifting weights in running shoes if you want to prevent injury and encourage proper form and better results (which, of course, I do).

Knowing this, I've spent the past two years testing the best weightlifting shoes—and The Metcon 9 is one pair I (and our readers) can't stop obsessing over.

Ever since I added a walking pad to my space, my mood is significantly better, I feel more energized, and I'm more productive.

I've tested a few options, but the WalkingPad C2 Mini is my absolute favorite. It folds up into a compact, portable size that can be rolled (yup, it has wheels!) right under your desk, couch, or bed for storage.

The machine maxes out at 3.72 miles per hour or about the speed of a brisk walk on the cusp of a jog. Personally, I’ve found 2.7 miles per hour is the perfect setting for walking while working.
