With such a vast range of products, hundreds of reviews and countless deals dropping all the time, it can be hard to find exactly what you're looking for on Amazon, and know you're making the best choice for your budget.

One way to streamline your search is to head to Amazon's bestsellers page, which shows you what everyone else has been shopping (it's also great to browse if you're just a bit nosy).

And, of course, the Good Housekeeping Institute is here to make sure you're buying the best. We've tried and tested hundreds of bestselling products available to purchase on Amazon, and have shared the ones we truly recommend below.

Philips Steam & Go Plus Handheld Garment Steamer

Steam & Go Plus Handheld Garment Steamer

If you’re frequently on the move and pressed for time, we suggest the Good Housekeeping Institute's (joint) best clothes steamer. When tested, it heated up in an impressive 29 seconds and its wide head made quick work of almost all creases, across all fabrics.

CeraVe CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50
Now 44% Off

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably familiar with the dermatologist-recommended brand CeraVe. It offers powerful skincare at an affordable price, and this facial moisturiser is no exception.

A versatile option that’s suitable for both dry and oily skin types, it hydrates but is also non-comedogenic, so there’s no chance of it clogging pores. It also contains SPF 50 to help protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays that cause sun damage (but we would always recommend applying the best SPF for your face separately as well).
