Over the course of a year, the Strategist staff and our team of contributors test hundreds and hundreds of new products — and every so often, we deem one worthy of an ode. Enter “This Thing’s Incredible,” our series in which we write about gadgets, beauty breakthroughs, clothing staples, and generally life-changing items that are so good we could do an infomercial on them (but instead we write a few hundred words). 

Every item we’ve featured is truly special, but there are a few odes that rose above the rest to become the most read in the series. Here, you’ll find all the things Strategist readers deemed super-incredible, from a foolproof fake tanner to orthopedic Portuguese flats.

Also on the site: Comedian Marc Maron told us about the Cetaphil cleanser he buys miniatures of to use on the road and the patchouli oil that’s been a constant in his life since college.
