Everyone has a different love language. And here at the Filter, ours comes in the form of really good product recommendations. Forget roses and Hershey’s chocolate; we adore nothing more than helping you purchase fewer and better things.
Last month, we played matchmaker for the most romantic time of year, introducing you to products we hoped you’d fall head over heels for – including a face mask for achieving the coveted glass skin look and a fluffy bath towel to elevate your post-shower routine.
Of the dozens of items we recommended, there were a few that readers swiped right on the most. Below are your 11 most-loved products of February, according to the purchasing data that we have access to.
Mzoo Luxury Sleep Mask
Filter US contributor Juno DeMelo declared her love for this affordable sleep mask: “With the Mzoo strapped to my face, I can finally nap for the first time in my life. And I wear it every night, too.”
DeMelo isn’t the only one who adores this sleep mask, as this was once again one of your favorite items of the month.
Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro
Last month, you all must have attempted to impress your Valentine’s Day date with your cooking skills. And you likely succeeded, as this bestselling Pfas-free pan from Our Place was one of your favorite items of the month.
When we asked a food lab to put 13 non-stick, non-toxic pans to the test, nothing held a candle to this pan’s durable design and max temperature of a scorching 1,000F.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
We’re in the depths of winter, when the snow and cold wind are unrelenting, and dry, itchy hands are the norm. Perhaps this explains why this concentrated, moisturizing Norwegian hand cream was one of your favorites of the 21 recommendations in our guide to cold-weather skincare.
Fly By Jing Fire Hotpot Base
“Few meals feel more soothing in winter than one that gathers everyone around a big ‘ol bubbling pot,” Karen Yuan, Filter US commissioning editor, wrote in her guide for making hotpot at home.
And many of you must’ve agreed (or forgot to make Valentine’s Day dinner reservations), as this spicy Fly By Jing instant hotpot base was amongst your favorite items of February.
Kipcush White Noise Machine
When Paige Triola, Filter US contributor, searched for ways to block out nighttime sounds filtering through her townhouse’s thin walls, this small white noise machine came to her rescue. Now, she “dozes off to the natural music of swirling wind, crashing ocean waves, or drumming rain punctuated by growls of thunder”.
Perhaps you all have noisy neighbors, as plenty of you added this travel-friendly gadget to your carts last month.
Parachute Organic Plush Towel
This February, you craved the amenities of a high-end spa without the price tag. In our roundup of six underrated shower upgrades, this fluffy bath towel was the most purchased from our list.
Biodance Collagen Real Deep Mask for Pore Minimizing & Firming Care
In February, many of you aged in reverse, purchasing a collagen face mask that left Filter US commissioning editor Karen Yuan’s skin “as soft as a baby’s butt”.
While we recommended quite a few romantic ideas in our global Valentine’s Day gift guide, this viral face mask remained your most-shopped item of the bunch.
RX Bar Protein Bars
We must have some health-conscious readers, as you favored these chocolate sea salt protein bars over many of the mouth-watering Valentine’s Day chocolate bars we also recommended.
Despite RX Bars’ poor performance in our protein bar taste test (“sticky” and “bland”), they earned a nutritionist’s stamp of approval and are made with whole foods and zero artificial sweeteners.
Papier Reading Journal
I can’t stop singing the praises of Papier’s reading journal, which I’ve found to be a mindful, screen-free way to log and review the books I’m reading.
Some of you must’ve also been on the hunt for a Goodreads alternative, as Papier’s stylish reading journal was one of your most shopped items of February.
RoC Hydration+ Moisturizer with Amino Acids
Like a skincare-obsessed tween, you flocked to the beauty aisle last month. Another one of your favorite February products was this sensitive skin-friendly moisturizer, recommended by one dermatologist for its “thick” and “luxurious” feel.
Renpho Fabric Heating Pad
I depend on my heating pad’s warmth to soothe me to sleep each night. Clearly, I’m not alone in that thought, as last month, many of you fell in love with Renpho’s fabric heating pad, which we adore for its “cushy velvet fabric” and handy “automatic shut-off”.
