Last Chance on Prime Day Beauty Deals: 50 Percent Off Shark, Medicube for $12, and More

This Strategist reader — and staff — favorite made our list of top-saved products of the year (so far). The pads exfoliate skin and deep-clean pores with lactic and salicylic acids.

This is also a most-saved product this year. I traded in my prescription tretinoin for this cream with over-the-counter retinal, the strongest of the OTC retinoids, and maintained my results (smooth, more even-toned skin) without irritation and excessive flaking.

I have used and recommended this eye cream many times over the years. It’s already affordable at $14. Now it’s a steal. Our beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton first wrote about it in 2021, saying it “did a wonderful job at taking some of that darkness away” from her supersensitive under-eye area.

Another standout retinal is on sale. This one is especially good for sensitive skin. Viera-Newton says it’s effective, and the inclusion of hyaluronic acid and glycerin helps minimize redness and irritation.

Speaking of K-beauty and retinal, you can get two of these eye serums for less than the price of one. Retinal liposomes and ginseng smooth and brighten delicate under-eye skin.

Medicube is also offering big savings on its Booster Pro X2 device. It offers seven modes in one for glow, pore care, definition, and more. Makeup artist Sir John told The Cut that uses it daily to help with skin-care absorption.

I tested the higher-strength version of this product in a story about spicules, a buzzy K-beauty ingredient that creates microscopic punctures in the skin, allowing active ingredients to get deeper into the skin. This is the intro-level dose and a good place to start with spicule skin care.

I file this one under “sunscreen I want to wear.” The SPF stick feels so nice on my skin, controls oil, and layers well under my makeup.

Get glass skin overnight with this K-beauty hydrogel mask. It plumps, tightens pores, and brightens skin while you sleep.

This a stock-up moment. Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a regular in our “Beauty Aisle” features because it is works for dry skin, lips, cuticles, and more.

This Best in Class face cleanser is beloved by experts, staffers, and readers alike for its ability to cleanse without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Save over $100 on this red-light mask. It has four wavelengths, takes just three minutes, and is designed to fit around the contours of your face without missing a spot.

Internet personality Blakely Thornton can’t live without this retinol cream because it’s effective and already affordable — now even more so.

In an article on snail mucin, nearly every dermatologist our writer spoke with recommended CosRx because of its skin-brightening and moisturizing benefits.

This vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid serum is a best seller with Strategist readers, so it is our duty to tell you when it’s on sale.

Writer Dominique Pariso was impressed by the at-home Hydrafacial-like tool when it first launched and was impressed. “With the average cost of a Hydrafacial running somewhere in the $150 to $300 range these days, the FacialPro Glow would absolutely save money in the long run.”

It’s lip-mask season. My lips get so dry in the fall and winter that I will wear a lip mask instead of a regular balm. This one has Gisou’s Mirsalehi Honey, found in its hair products, its proprietary Bee Garden Oil Blend, a collagen-derived active, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides for intense hydration.

Another favorite lip mask. The Best in Class Laneige Lip Sleeping Masks are currently 30 percent off in specific flavors, including berry.

Another winter-skin secret worth hoarding. Senior editor Winnie Yang says her family went through four tubs last year. Save almost 20 percent on two jars.

One the sunscreens most recommended by experts is on sale. We love it because it’s formulated just right — nonsticky, hydrating, and no white cast.

Glass skin is a box. This K-beauty brand put all its essentials for smoother, brighter, more hydrated skin into one set that includes a full-size moisturizer and travel-size cleanser, scrub, serum, and mist.

This is my teenage daughter’s favorite cleanser. She doesn’t exactly need “age prevention” at 15, but she does have clear and radiant skin, so she may be onto something.

Stock up for sick season (or save forstocking stuffers) with this three-pack of hand sanitizer.

It’s sunscreen for people who don’t like sunscreen. We love this formula because it’s completely clear, has a primerlike feel, and doesn’t pill under makeup.

The Best in Class sunscreen is down to $20. We love this one for its no-mess format and the glowy finish it leaves. “This one feels like I’m rubbing highlighter all over my face, in that impossibly dewy way,” says writer Ambar Pardilla.

This FDA-cleared mask uses red light, blue light, and infrared energy. Plus it has cooling pads to depuff and revive under eyes. Right now you can save over $50.

Another winter-skin saver. The big 12-ounce jar of this intense body cream is 40 percent off.

The luxe lightweight moisturizer is part of the sale. We named it the best splurge-worthy moisturizer for oily skin.

It would not be Prime Day without a good Dyson sale. Save over $200 on this Airwrap i.d., which creates waves, smooth styles, or volume. It also comes with a styling serum.

Pariso, who tests a lot of styling tools, says this is her favorite leave-in heat-protecting spray.

After researching infrared technology for hair tools, I’m a convert. The tech helps dry the hair strand more evenly — inside and out — instead of overheating the outside layer, leading to dryness and damage. This dryer over $70 cheaper right now.

I also learned this year that blow-dryer technologies are not one-size-fits-all. If you have puffy, coarse, frizz-prone hair, ionic dryers can greatly reduce frizz and leave hair smoother.

I borrowed this tool from my tween and was really impressed with the curls it created — and how easy it is to use.

Shampoo and conditioner (with a yummy vanilla scent) for $15.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen this year for the pro-quality ceramic flat iron.

This is one of the early Prime Day deals we wrote about but, but a savings of more than $100 is worth repeating.

This set is currently in my shower. I am using it because rosemary is linked to hair growth. It also smells fresh and clean. My teen has been using it because it makes her hair incredibly smooth and shiny.

With three girls, we can never have enough brushes around — someone’s is always inexplicably missing. This Wet Brush, a favorite in my family, is only $7 right now.

New York Magazine deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff says this is her favorite dry-scalp shampoo. Dermatologists have told us that its ingredients, including salicylic acid, rosemary oil, menthol, and ginger extract, are highly effective for dandruff and scalp soothing.

I always notice a visible difference in the way my hair looks after I use this shampoo-and-conditioner duo. We named the shampoo Best in Class for dry hair. My hair looks smoother and shinier without being too flat.

I was late to the party with this stick trio and just tried it for the first time last week. The highlighter, bronzer, and blush sticks now have a permanent spot in my daily makeup routine.

A Best in Class foundation for mature skin. Experts and readers love this formula for its skin-brightening, color-correcting, and sun-protecting benefits.

Fun fact: I wore this foundation on my wedding day 19 years ago (Laura Geller herself applied it), and it’s still a favorite today.

My tweens and teens always have these balms on their wish lists because they’re shiny, hydrating, and come in sheer pretty colors.

Bobbi Brown complexion products always get the job done well. This easy-to-apply stick is hydrating, creaseproof, buildable, and very blendable.

A Strategistreader favorite is currently $5 less with an Amazon coupon.

I’ve complimented a few friends on their lashes over the years, thinking they got lash extensions or were using a lash serum for growth. They revealed they were wearing this tubing mascara.

I recently went back to using this lash serum because I know it works. A few weeks in, I’m starting to see longer, fuller lashes.

The supersize tube of this classic, hydrating makeup primer is more than 60 percent off right now.

Thicker, fuller, more lifted lashes from Lancôme for just $18.

Urban Decay does earthy neutral shadows right. The palette of six shadows will create countless eye combinations.
