Editor’s Picks: These 30 WH-Approved Products Are the Most Popular With Our Readers

Reported by Women's Health Magazine.

If there's one thing the Women's Health audience has collectively decided, it's that they're done guessing. According to Women's Health Magazine, these are the editor-tested, reader-approved products that actually held up — from the gym floor to the skincare shelf to, yes, the mattress.

On the fitness side, a few standouts earned serious loyalty. The lululemon Chargefeel 3 cross-trainer impressed WH executive health and fitness director Jacqueline Andriakos, NASM-CPT, who calls it a rare find for its balance of stability and flexibility — something she says every person she knows who's worn it agrees on. For runners dealing with plantar fasciitis, Fitness Commerce Editor Nicolette Accardi championed the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 for its deep heel cup and firm-but-not-rigid foam. The Hoka Mach 6, named best walking shoe in the WH 2025 Fitness Awards, earned praise from Accardi for its neutral 5mm heel-to-toe drop, which she credits with reducing knee stress post-run. Rounding out the movement category: the Empower Weighted Vest — designed specifically for women's curves with six removable one-pound bags — and the Balanced Body Allegro 2 Pilates Reformer, which WH fitness editor Talene Appleton, NASM, has used two to three times weekly for nearly two years without a single sign of wear.

The Glow-Up Edit

Hair removal technology dominated the beauty picks. The Braun Skin i·Expert Pro 7 topped the at-home laser category with 1,560 treatments — double the standard — and app connectivity to customize your plan; testers reported visible results around session four. The more budget-accessible Philips Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL System cleared unwanted hair in four weeks flat. For thinning hair, the CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Regrowth Device requires just ten minutes and sits comfortably on the head for full scalp coverage. Skincare-wise, the TheraFace Mask delivers three wavelengths — red for collagen, red plus infrared for circulation, blue for acne — while Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ (Jennifer Garner's actual eye cream, per her own words to Prevention) and the brand's Retinol Face Moisturizer offer accessible retinol entry points. For puffiness, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick backs CeraVe's Skin Renewing Eye Cream, noting caffeine constricts blood vessels to reduce swelling and brighten the under-eye area.

The supplement shelf kept it clean: Thorne Creatine Monohydrate delivers the clinically supported five-gram dose in micronized form for better absorption, and Ritual's Multivitamin for Women 18+ covers the nutrient gaps most women actually have — D3, iron, methylated folate, omega-3s — in one mint-flavored capsule.

The through-line across every category is rigorous, real-world testing by people who use this stuff the way you do — and the products that made the cut earned it.
