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. 

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. 

Jane Fonda says she uses this wrinkle-busting serum every night on a clean face: “It has a lot of antioxidants and good things to hydrate the skin.” 

The rich, silky formula is paraben- and mineral oil-free, dermatologist tested and suitable for all skin types. Plus, right now, it’s nearly 50% off. 

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. 

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.  

Fans of this extra-moisturizing balm say it rivals TikTok favorite Laneige for transforming dry, cracked lips into skin that’s soft and smooth — all while you sleep.  

It’s also cruelty and paraben-free, with more than 5,000 5-star reviews.

Few things feel better on your skin after a long, hot day than a cool face towelette to slough off the accumulated grime. These fragrance-free wipes are gentle on skin but pack a cleansing punch: they’re loaded with micellar water and lift off 99% of makeup, including even the heaviest-duty waterproof mascara. 

They also moisturize the skin without leaving behind any residue and, right now, you can score two packs of 25 — perfect for tossing into a carry-on — for just $7.

Since, the pandemic days, most of us wash our hands more than ever before which means we need a quality hand soap. I’ve found few better versions than this prebiotic-boosting one from Dove which is specially formulated to kill bad bacteria while also supporting the health of your skin, keeping hands soft and hydrated and helping to prevent the scaliness and knuckle flakes that happen with repeated cleansing.  

This pack of four is ideal for stocking all your household sinks. I keep one in the kitchen and do an extra wash after I’m through with the dishes — my hands have never felt so smooth. 

This #1 Amazon sunscreen bestseller is the first Sun Bum product I ever tried, and it immediately made me a convert. 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.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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!
