As 2023 comes to a close, we’re rounding up NBC Select reader’s most beloved products from the year. This year, our readers enjoyed our first ever Wellness Awards, Pet Awards, Bed and Bath Awards and Giftable Tech Awards where we rounded up some of the most highly-rated products in these categories. Haircare and skincare were also areas of interest for our audience, who gravitated towards head shavers, teen acne treatments, dark circle treatments and head acne treatments. Additionally, KN95 face masks, disposable face masks, at-home COVID tests and more reflected the sustained interest in COVID-19. Newer shopping trends for NBC Select readers included keratosis pilaris treatments, pregnancy-safe skin care products, dusters, reef-safe sunscreens, beard oils and more.

Below are 50 of the bestselling products we covered in 2023, outside of the most popular deals we covered during tentpole sales events like Prime Day, Prime Big Deals Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
