Curious what everyone else was adding to cart this Prime Day? I pulled the data—and these are the top 10 products PureWow readers couldn’t check out fast enough.

If you've ever fought with a hotel iron, this one’s for you. Several PureWow editors swear by this compact steamer for its ability to smooth even delicate fabrics without damage or drips. It heats up in 30 seconds, works vertically or horizontally, and folds down small enough to toss in your carry-on. With 1,000 watts of power, a detachable water tank and an 8-foot cord, it’s the rare travel-friendly steamer that doesn’t make you compromise on performance.

2. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows

Beckham Hotel Collection

Falling asleep on this set of fluffy pillows is the kind of self-care everyone deserves. Featuring a machine-washable cotton cover and plush down-alternative fill, these pillows are designed to retain their shape, while providing prime comfort. Take it from former PureWow Editor Olivia Dubyak, who says: “I love the support of these pillows because they're plush without feeling too hard, like some memory foam ones (which I'm not particularly a fan of). The filling keeps my head and neck super cool throughout the night—and they come in a pair, which is a great deal.”

Associate Deals Editor Destinee Scott has owned her Dyson Supersonic for years—and it’s still the gold standard in her beauty arsenal. Why? It dries thick hair in under 30 minutes (no small feat), thanks to the brand’s Air Multiplier tech, which blasts out a fast, targeted stream of air without frying your ends. The motor is cleverly tucked into the handle for better balance, and the magnetic attachments snap on without the usual fumbling. TL;DR: It’s expensive, yes—but it earns its keep every single time you reach for it.

This one’s an oldie but a holy grail: Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. It’s the lactic acid treatment our editors (and readers) swear by for brighter, smoother skin—minus the irritation. SEO Editor Marissa Wu noticed faded acne scars and smaller pores after just five days, per her PureWow100 review. The magic? A potent mix of lactic acid, licorice, lemongrass and aloe that exfoliates, calms and clears without stripping. It’s not an instant fix, but give it a week and you’ll see why it’s earned ride-or-die status in so many routines.

Another cult-favorite serum from Sunday Riley; this one has brightened more faces than a compliment from your crush. The C.E.O. formula packs a potent dose of vitamin C—along with Phytosterols and Saccharide Isomerate extract—to hydrate, smooth, and even out your skin tone without causing chaos under your SPF. One bottle can last up to six months (depending on how generous you are), and reviewers say it layers like a dream. Dewy, hydrated skin that plays nice with the rest of your routine? It’s no wonder this one has a near-devotional following.

This anti-frizz spray goes viral every summer for a reason: it actually delivers glass hair. (Think: shiny, swishy, J.Lo-on-a-press-tour energy.) Stylist Chris Appleton swears by it for his A-list clients, and after testing it myself, I get the hype. The humidity-proof formula basically acts like a raincoat for your hair—locking out frizz and locking in shine. My strands felt like a silk scarf, even after a subway commute in 85 percent humidity. For once, TikTok got it right. (Read my full PureWow100 review of the spray here.)

As Scott puts it, “My AirPods go with me everywhere”—and this latest version earns a permanent spot. They’ve got all the hits: active noise cancellation that actually blocks sirens, transparency mode for staying alert on the go, and now, hearing health features that offer personalized audio insights (including the world’s first software-enabled hearing aid, according to Apple). TL;DR: They sound incredible, adapt to your environment, and right now, they’re under $200.

If any cordless stick vacuum is worth the splurge, it’s this Dyson v8. It comes with every attachment you could possibly need—crevice tool, mattress tool, hair screw tool, you name it—and switches between two power modes, depending on how chaotically messy your floors are. You get up to 40 minutes of run time and a hands-free dirt ejector (because ew), all in one sleek, lightweight design. It cuts through pet hair, dust and mystery crumbs like it’s nothing—and makes deep cleaning feel oddly satisfying.

This editor-tested, ophthalmologist-approved lash serum has quietly become a cult favorite. The formula’s packed with vitamins, peptides and amino acids to help lashes look longer and fuller in as little as four weeks (with minimal irritation, which is rare for lash serums). One 2-milliliter tube lasts up to three months, though reviewers say the results show up way sooner. If you’re after fluttery, falsie-level lashes without the glue, this one’s worth the swipe.

Finally, another editor-approved item that actually lives up to the hype. This portable cleaner has rescued everything from coffee-stained car seats to wine-splashed sofas in our editors’ homes. It may be compact, but it holds 48 ounces of cleaning fluid and packs serious suction power—enough to lift pet stains, food spills and who-knows-what from deep within your upholstery. If you’ve got kids, pets or white furniture, this one’s a game-changer.
