Tools worth your time.

Some of this is free, some of it costs a few dollars, and one section is just me talking brands into giving you discounts. Everything here passes the same test: I actually use it.

Counter's Ingredient Checker

When I want a second opinion on a specific ingredient, this is where I look it up. It breaks down what an ingredient is, what the research says, and how concerned you should actually be, which is usually less than the internet wants you to be. Their Never List is a solid reference all on its own.

Discount Codes & Deals

Here's the arrangement: when I find something I actually love, I go to bat for my homies and ask the brand for a discount code. When it works, the code lives here and we all win. When it doesn't, we never speak of it.

To be clear about what this won't be: I'm not posting a code for something just because a code exists. If it's on this page, I use it, I like it, and I'd tell you about it even without the deal.

Heads up: every link and code below is an affiliate or referral link, so I may earn a commission if you use one. Costs you nothing extra, and I only post what I'd genuinely tell you about anyway.
