Anker Laptop Power Bank for $88 ($47 Off)
This is our top power bank recommendation for anyone who wants to recharge anything other than a smartphone. The 25,000-mAh is plenty large (and still airline-compliant), and it can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices (100 watts for a single device). That’s enough to recharge a MacBook Air or even a Pro.

Starface Hydro-Stars Big Pack for $20 ($7 Off)
If I could thank Gen-Z for anything, it would be pimple patches. There used to be a time when zits meant pore-clogging makeup. Nowadays, if you have a pimple, slap a shiny yellow star on it. Call it the beautification of acne. Starface has triumphed in this industry, offering colorful star-shaped stickers that almost feel like an accessory. Do I color-coordinate with whatever outfit I’m wearing? Yes. Does that mean all my Starface stickers are black? Also, yes. But for $7 off, maybe I’ll start wearing yellow. —Boutayna Chokrane
CeraVe
Hydrocolloid Blemish Patches
These hydrocolloid patches are fortified with niacinamide and three essential ceramides.
Hero Cosmetics
Mighty Patch (72 Count)
These patches sit well under makeup, are effective at drawing out gunk, and act as a protective barrier, so you’re not tempted to pick at your skin.
Cosrx
Acne Pimple Master Patch
These pimple patches are a bit thicker than Hero Cosmetics, so we wouldn’t wear them under makeup, but love them for everyday use.

Miffy Hydrocolloid Blemish Patches
