Real Simple Readers’ Most-Purchased Products of 2024

Stardrops The Pink Stuff The Miracle Cleaning Paste

Use this cleaning paste to remove dirt and grime from almost any surface, including tile, glass, and stainless steel. It’s super simple to use, too. Just scoop out some of The Pink Stuff with a cloth or sponge, scrub the dirty spot with the paste, let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse it away with water. The paste is incredibly popular with reviewers and has earned more than 152,700 five-star ratings. “I’ve used it on kitchen appliances, bathroom tiles, and even my stainless steel cookware, and it works wonders every time,” one customer raved. They added, “It’s particularly impressive on stubborn rust stains and burnt-on food.” 

Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater

We tested 49 space heaters and chose this Dreo option as our favorite. The tower space heater heats up in just seconds and is suitable for rooms up to 200 square feet. Thanks to the oscillating design, the device covers a broader area, rather than just heating what’s directly in front of it. It also automatically turns off for safety when it tips over or gets overheated. Plus, it comes with a remote that allows you to control the level of heat from up to 26 feet away, so you don’t have to get up every time you want to adjust the temperature. 

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet

At $17, this Lodge skillet is a steal—especially since the durable cast iron will last for years. The 10.25-inch pan features a long handle, a helper handle, and two spouts for mess-free pouring. It comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil to give it a nonstick, easy-release surface, too. 

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Laneige’s famous lip mask healed one shopper’s cracked lips within two days. The balm is intended to be worn overnight to repair dry skin, but the shiny finish makes it look like a lip gloss that you can wear all day long, too. Made with coconut oil, vitamin C, and murumuru seed and shea butters, the mask moisturizes and helps protect your lips.
