Prime Day beauty deals are here with savings up to 50% off on our favorite brands

We’re fast entering the “act fast or you’ll miss them” time for Prime Day beauty sales — the moment to stock up on old favorites, items you know, love, trust and (most importantly) the stuff you already use year ’round. This year, Amazon Prime Day deals are especially good for name-brand beauty staples, with loads of top-notch savings on some of my favorite products from Neutrogena, Revlon, CeraVe and so many more. Whether you’re in the market for an effective anti-aging eye cream (who isn’t?), a reliably excellent sunscreen or a fan-favorite facial serum now’s the time to start filling your cart.

Right now, I’m scooping up products I’ve relied on for decades, many I’ve reviewed — like this Sun Bum sunscreen — or included in top-of-class lists, like CeraVe’s resurfacing treatment from our roundup of best retinol serums. But there are also solid skin care staples, like Lubriderm’s always reliable lotion and CosRx’s snail mucin that I recommend to everyone I know.

The sales below represent the best early Prime Day deals from the most trusted brands in skin care, sunscreen and hair care. Happy shopping!

The bottom line about skin care: If you have an aging face and want to appear like you have a, well, less-aging face, you need retinol. And if you’re new to the retinol game or have dry skin, CeraVe’s formula is an excellent place to start. It contains just a .3% concentration, which means it will be gentler and less drying than higher-potency products. It’s also filled with skin-calming agents like niacinamide and moisturizing hyaluronic acid. 

Best of all, it’s now at one of the lowest prices our price trackers have seen (a full 52% off), so it’s inexpensive enough to try without the guilt of a major skin-care investment.

If you’re looking for a low-cost retinol eye cream to help with crow’s feet and dark circles, this is for you. The wrinkle-smoothing lotion also reduces puffiness while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Last, it’s among the most highly-rated eye creams, with more than 19,000 5-star Amazon reviews. It’s dermatologist recommended too. Right now it’s more than 30% off — an ideal time to give this effective cream a try.

CosRx

When it comes to serums, not many come close to this beloved snail mucin from CosRx — it’s won multiple awards, has almost 70,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and has also impressed most every beauty editor I know. After using it the first time, my face was noticeably dewier and softer (here is my full review). Other users have boasted about its ability to soothe, hydrate, repair and improve dullness in the skin. 

If you’re new to K-beauty and are looking for a product that defines the entire genre, this is it. Furthermore, this is the lowest price this product has been listed at since 2017. If you’re snail mucin-curious, now’s the time to escar-go and get it.

Lubriderm

Sure, Lubriderm may not be as sexy as trendy, boutique skin care brands, but there are truly few products that work as well and as reliably for dry, itchy skin than this Advanced Therapy Lotion.

Bonus points: It’s fragrance free, made for even the most sensitive skin and packed with nourishing ingredients like vitamins E and B5. 

Right now it’s at the lowest price our price trackers have seen since 2020 — making it a “stock up” kind of deal.

Schick Hydro Silk

We all know that the first rule of having a lady beard is never talking about having a lady beard but here we are: After a certain age, the hair on many women’s face becomes — shall we say? — more robust and fuzzy in a way that tweezers are simply no match.

Enter dermaplaning, a tiny, razor-like tool that removes peach fuzz (and wire-y gray fuzz) in a flash while also promoting skin cell turnover and helping reduce the appearance of fine lines. More than 140,000 reviewers rate them 5-stars and claim they’re gentle enough for even sensitive skin.

Neutrogena

I have both super sensitive skin and also occasionally wear contact lenses which means, historically, finding a non-irritating, actually effective eye makeup remover has been something of a Herculean feat. But Neutrogena’s 100% oil-free liquid cleanser is the exception to my woes: a completely non-greasy formula that gently sloths off even the heaviest makeup (seriously, I’ve used it successfully on Halloween face paint) while cooling and soothing your skin.  

Developed and tested by both dermatologists and ophthalmologists, it’s made with aloe and cucumber extracts to melt makeup away without the need to rub or tug at delicate under eye skin. But you don’t have to take my word for it: this stellar product currently has more than 15,000 5-star reviews.  

$9 at Amazon

Garnier

I love Garnier Micellar water generally, but I especailly love this iteration, which is perfect for summer. The no-rinse face cleanser works like a magnet to lift dirt and grime off your face while still conditioning and being extra gentle. 

This version also removes waterproof makeup — like no-smear mascara, a warm-weather staple — without dragging or damaging your delicate undereye skin. Stock up now while you can with this truly good deal on two ample 13.5 oz bottles.  

$17 at Amazon

L’Oréal Paris

To all my secretly gray-haired ladies living the hair-dye life: You need this root cover up spray. You need it because gray hair somehow grows like kudzu and and, even though you feel like you just left the salon yesterday, you still occasionally wake up to crown of ash.  

I love this root spray for about a million reasons, including these: It has an incredible shade range, which guarantees a near-perfect match, (a challenge with honey blond hair like mine!) it provides instant full gray-roots coverage, it doesn’t run or transfer and — bonus — it texturizes roots and give hair a voluminous lift. Best of all, it’s affordable — right now, under $10.

And if you don’t want to listen to my recommendation, just know that Eva Longoria also gives this product a ton of love — so you have praise from a blonde and a brunette!

$9 at Amazon

Revlon

For a beauty editor, I’m ashamed to admit I’m not particularly skilled at grooming and this is especially true when it comes to “doing” my hair. But this bestselling all-in-one hair dryer, styler, de-frizzer and volumizer has changed my life, making days when I want my coiff to appear polished about 1,000 times less stressful. 

It’s super easy to use and the results are instant: It looks like you had professional, smoothing and volumizing a blowout within minutes. The device is so popular it’s garnered nearly 400,000 5-star Amazon reviews! Scoop it up now while it’s nearly half off.

$38 at Amazon

Peter Thomas Roth

There’s a reason I named this Peter Thomas Roth formula the best retinol serum of the year: At 1.5% retinal concentration, it’s just potent enough to really work on reducing wrinkles and fine lines, while not so strong that your face will start molting within the first week of use. Plus, it contains 8-hour slow-release microencapsulated retinol, which tends to be less irritating, and is packed with brighteners like vitamin C and soothing emollients such as vitamin E and squalane to keep your face hydrated and reduce redness.

The texture here is particularly standout: It’s silky and smooth, as opposed to tacky and viscous. When I used this product last year for three months, I saw an almost immediate skin-tightening effect. Over the weeks there was more clarity in my skin tone and the lines in my forehead appeared less deep. 

It’s difficult to choose a retinol serum that will work “best” for all skin types, but with its high-quality ingredients and thoughtful formulation, this one comes closest to being a one-size-fits-most skin-care star — and right now, it’s at the lowest price I’ve seen in 2024.

$57 at Amazon

Sun Bum

This #1 Amazon sunscreen bestseller is the first Sun Bum product I ever tried, and it immediately made me a convert (here is my full review). The high-protection SPF 50 body spray kept me burn-free during a weeklong vacation in 100º weather in Palm Springs.

Dermatologist approved, it offers UVA/UVB protection while remaining water-resistant (for 80 minutes) and a solid choice for most skin types.

$16 at Amazon

CeraVe

CeraVe’s a top drugstore brand for a reason: its dermatologist and opthalmologist-tested products are noncomedogenic, fragrance-free and work for almost any skin type while remaining affordable too.

I love this versatile sunscreen, in particular, for how fast it absorbs and how non-greasy it feels. It’s a rare combination of a zinc-mineral and chemical formula, the best of both sunscreen worlds (check out our list of tested and reviewed best mineral sunscreens for more info and recs). It’s also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Neutrogena

Porcelain-skinned Nicole Kidman uses this lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen religiously, explaining, “it goes beautifully under makeup.” The dry-touch formula has a chic matte finish but no white cast, so you never look ghost-like.   

This Broad Spectrum SPF 45 twin-pack is perfect for traveling — at 3 ounces, the size is ample enough to last through a trip, but also TSA compliant. 

$14 at Amazon

Verb

When I was working on our best shampoos and conditioners story earlier this year, most every stylist I spoke with mentioned Verb, comparing — and even preferring — this bonding shampoo to Olaplex.

Verb’s formula is armed with a similar amino complex to help bond brittle strands and strengthen damaged hair. Best of all, it’s a fraction of the cost of Olaplex — and even more of a steal right now. 

$19 at Amazon
