RELATED: Best Amazon beauty products to shop now
The retailer’s two-day shopping event is one of the most-anticipated of the year, so you’ll want to *quite literally* shop ’till you drop. After all, it surely isn’t our first rodeo reporting on the best deals here at Post Wanted, and we’ll be covering the best in beauty — and, all other topics — around the clock during Prime Day.
My tips, as a full-time beauty product reviewer and commerce reporter? Take full advantage of premium beauty items like hair masks and eye creams.
It’s also not a bad idea to cherry-pick a quality facial sunscreen from Amazon’s catalog, as it’s a daily-use skincare essential.

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence
Alas, we’ve arrived at the star of the show — the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence. If you’ve heard of only one product from the brand, it’s likely this one. This was the first product I ever tried from years ago but, when I picked it up recently, it was just like old times.
This product is some kind of miracle in a bottle, and I don’t say that lightly. If there’s anything you pick up from this list, let it be this product. It’s the ideal serum to dab on after your cleanser and the most direct-hitting glass skin product I’ve tried from the brand at large.
How I use it: Following my COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, I apply one to two pumps and blend it throughout my face, as you would a moisturizer. I focus extra on the apples of my cheeks and the tip of my nose — the areas where pores tend to be more noticeable on my skin. I use the product twice daily.
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated and feminine fragrance that embodies joy and elegance. Featuring a harmonious blend of iris, patchouli, and gourmand notes, this captivating scent celebrates the beauty of life with every spritz.
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum
Pamper tired eyes with this moisturizing serum from Laneige. It has green tea to soothe redness and depuff, while peptides and hyaluronic acid hydrate and perk up tired-looking under eyes.
This serum from Laneige is so good, you won’t even want to put on makeup after you apply it. It works as a primer but also locks in moisture with hydrating ingredients that give a naturally luminous glow.
Nécessaire The Body Wash — Eucalyptus
This Prime Day, Nécessaire is hosting 20% off its entire brand. The premium brand is one of the most luxe for your shower, with its signature Body Wash worth every last penny. It’s a dream if you have sensitive skin and allows you to soak in the self-care while gently moisturizing and cleansing away impurities.
For less than $25, it’s an item I’d recommend adding to your cart before it returns to full price.
Oral-B iO Series 8 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
The Post-loved Oral-B iO Series 8 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush offers advanced technology with a smart pressure sensor and interactive display. Featuring multiple brushing modes and a powerful, yet gentle oscillating brush head, this toothbrush ensures a superior and personalized oral care experience.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Sunscreen SPF 60
You can’t put a price on a quality facial sunscreen, but 25% off ain’t too shabby. Not only did we review the entirety of La Roche-Posay but this particular formula is water-resistant and non-greasy.
TruSkin Vitamin C Facial Serum
Skin that’s a little bit brighter than before yields a more youthful complexion, which is why grabbing a vitamin C serum may be your next best find. The TruSkin Vitamin C Facial Serum isn’t only an Amazon best-seller with more than 143,000 sensational (ahem, skin-sational) reviews but it contains dermatologist-approved ingredient hyaluronic acid to help make the skin more supple.
Even better, the 2-ounce bottle is $20 off during Prime Day (with an easily available coupon), so the brand is practically giving it away.
Gucci Bloom for Women Eau de Parfum
Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum captures the essence of a lush, blooming garden with its rich and floral fragrance. Combining notes of jasmine, tuberose, and Rangoon creeper, this elegant and Post-popular scent evokes a sense of natural beauty.
68% Off: Grace & Stella Pimple Patches
Place the patch over the affected area. It will absorb fluid using hydrocolloid technology to draw out impurities. These patches come in cute shapes, such as hearts, clouds, and flowers, that feel like fun grade-school stickers. Purchase either a pack of 36 or 72 sheets.
If you are not happy with your product within 30 days, the brand will make it right according to its 30-Day Feel-Good Policy. Plus, with Amazon Prime, you can get fast, free shipping.
We recommend reaching for this beauty pick, which combines collagen-boosting vitamin C and soothes redness with vitamin E and aloe. TruSkin is loved by celebrities, too, as well as thousands of Amazon shoppers.
Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant
A chemical exfoliant is a must to minimize the look of large pores, as well as to remove dead skin. This one from Paula’s Choice is loved by beauty editors, plus gals and guys everywhere. It’s gentle but effective, unclogging pores to reveal glowy skin beneath. Best of all, you can try it at a discounted price, thanks to Amazon Prime Day.
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Moisturizer
Hydrate and plump skin with moisturizing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalene. No, you don’t need three separate products, just this amazing moisturizer from Laneige. It’s lightweight and will leave your skin looking refreshed and plump.
Moroccanoil Body Lotion
Few things can come between us and Moroccanoil, so it’s safe to say we can’t recommend its Body Lotion enough. Fragrance-free and apt for sensitive skin, it’s pure luxury at its finest.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol Serum Wrinkle Filler + HPR Next Generation Retinoid
Target large pores and fine lines with this powerful retinoid from Elizabeth Arden. It’s lightweight, absorbs fast, and also has ceramides.
innisfree Super Volcanic Pure Clay Mask
The quest to finding a swoon-worthy face mask is one of the most fun; after all, there are so many options to choose from and it’s only a matter of time before you’re like me and rotate between dozens.
The innisfree Super Volcanic Pure Clay Mask is one of my personal favorites, namely for its texture and ability to effectively minimize pores, especially on the nose and at the apples of the cheeks. Impressively, it’s less than $15 in honor of Prime Day and contains glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin as well.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
After reviewing the near-entirety of Sol de Janeiro, I can attest its signature Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is worth every penny. For Prime Day, it’s 15% off — as is the case with the whole brand! — so it’s worth treating yourself to some dreamy self-care for your bum bum.
Mario Badescu Super Rich Olive Body Lotion
At an impressive 40% off this Prime Day, the Mario Badescu Super Rich Olive Body Lotion is a nurturing option to apply after your shower. The brand is one my absolute favorites because it’s affordable (now, even more so) and effective. This formula is like a dream and even measures up to some more expensive body butters and lotions I reviewed.
belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb
After reviewing more than 50 eye creams, the belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb is a blessing for dry skin. Yes, it truly is an “eye bomb,” hitting your under-eye region with the most incredible moisture and smoothness. If I were you, I’d grab it while it’s 30% off.
This is the foundation for those who dislike foundation. It’s lightweight, has hyaluronic acid, and blends seamlessly with your skin stone. Stock up while it’s on sale!
Physiogel Calming Relief Redness Relieving Facial Cream
Whether you have acne-prone skin or simply find yourself with red flush you don’t want, the Physiogel Calming Relief Redness Relieving Facial Cream is a top-rated Korean Derma skincare brand that’s also accepted by the National Eczema Association.
More than 1,000 Amazon shoppers flock to it monthly and it’s on one of the best Prime Day beauty deals right now at 40% off.
Tatcha The Indigo Calming Cream
Yes, Tatcha is on sale — and we’re obsessed. Shop the Indigo Calming Cream, which is now on sale in honor of Amazon Prime Day. Helping to keep eczema and redness at bay, it’s your one-way ticket to smoothing and soothing.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Dermatologist-adored and one of my most-recommended face cleansers for sensitive skin, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser does the job of removing impurities and nourishing the skin impressively well. Now, it’s 20% off just in time for Prime Day, so now it’s even more affordable. What’s better than that?
eos Creamy Body Care Set: Vanilla Body + Shave & Lavender Shave (3-Pack)
The eos Creamy Body Care Set — specifically its Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion — is one of the yummiest-smelling lotions I have in my collection. Thankfully, the brand is offering its three-pack for less, including two travel-friendly shave creams that can sit on your shower shelf. Woohoo.
RoC Retinol Correction Line Smoothing Night Serum Capsules (30-Count)
For 20% off this Prime Day, the RoC Retinol Correction Line Smoothing Night Serum Capsules (30-Count) is like your one-a-day vitamin: simply squeeze the capsule for an improved result over time.

LANEIGE Vanilla Lip Sleeping Mask
The LANEIGE Vanilla Lip Sleeping Mask is a much-anticipated SKU that’s on sale this Prime Day and one you should keep on your nightstand or vanity 24/7. Its vanilla flavor is here to steal the spotlight from its cult-favorite berry predecessor, but the incredibly dreamy and sweet consistency makes it worth the on-sale grab. It’s one of my favorites for smoothing out my lips, especially before applying lip liner.
For more options, check out our guide to the best lip masks we reviewed.
Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment
The Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment is one of the best splurges you can buy — one that’s actually worth your money. I love using mine at nighttime because it gently exfoliates and moisturizes my skin before any cream I dab onto my cheeks, forehead and chin.
My skin is noticeably clearer and brighter even after one use, and I like to use mine every other day. Sunday Riley, you have my heart (especially for 20% off this Prime Day!)
Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush
I’m screaming, because the Moroccanoil 4-in-1 Blow-Dryer Brush is 30% off during Prime Day and my favorite hair tool I’ve reviewed by far (trust me on this). Essentially, I’m a walking advertisement for this product because it’s worth the price — even better than my Dyson Airwrap; hot take, I know — and leaves my hair smoother than ever.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
Finally, that somewhat-expensive beauty item that is now on sale at 30% off to justify buying. The Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum is a top-rated choice for a reason, with nearly 50,000 glimmering reviews and more than 10,000 beauty buyers purchasing it each month.
When I began using this product, I instantly found it great for my sensitive eyes but also effective when used over time. The ends of my lashes started naturally curling upwards, longer than before. It’s worth grabbing if you commit to using it avidly for the first few months.
Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil
There are few things that are better than Sunday Riley on sale, but retinol is a close second. The superstar anti-aging ingredient is well-formulated inside this glossy potion bottle, helping to diminish the appearance of pores and wrinkles. It’s a lightweight, dreamy product I love using in the evenings, so it’s worth that 20% off grab.
PCA Skin ReBalance Daily Moisturizer
The PCA Skin ReBalance Daily Moisturizer is 20% off during Prime Day and is a suitable, creamy and decadent cream to suit a variety of skin types. Whether you have dry skin or oily skin, its feather-light texture is renowned by more than 1,000 happy beauty shoppers who have integrated the formula into their daily routines.
LANEIGE Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturizer
Quite revolutionary to say the least, the LANEIGE Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturizer is a two-in-one skincare essential that’s not only an incredible value but a dreamboat to quench dry skin. Its ability to help balance the skin (the toner) and moisturize (the cream) makes it a one-of-a-kind product on the market. Of course, it’s a regularly used product of mine.
This Prime Day, this premium beauty product is less than $30. But hurry, you’ll only find it on sale for two days.
Neutrogena Night Calming Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes (2-Pack)
There’s a reason why Neutrogena makeup wipes are still a buzz-worthy buy. Not only does the brand have some of the best and most gentle ones we tested, but the Night Calming Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes are plant-based, compostable, and on sale. For two packs.
Mario Badescu Lip Mask
The Mario Badescu Lip Mask is one of the best lip masks we reviewed, much ado to its soothing, spa-like feel, We love everything about it and can’t believe it’s on the Prime Day sale. Stock up, sis.
Avène Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water
The Avène Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water is your quick-fix to the need for a refreshing spritz. It’s one of my go-to options to refresh my sensitive skin before applying makeup — or, in the middle of a hot summer day — and it’s now at an unbelievable price point.
Neutrogena Clear Face Breakout-Free Oil Free Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30
We’re jumping for joy as the Neutrogena Clear Face Breakout-Free Oil-Free Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is marked down now. It’s a premium facial SPF to purchase that’s dermatologist-recommended and hailing from one of our personal favorite brands, too.
Haircare

Stop, drop and run to the Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray, which is now on sale. With more than 2,000 rave reviews, it’s also one of our favorites as it’s a two-in-one dry shampoo and texture spray; this is perfect for wavy hair types, especially.
Plus, more of Living Proof is on sale.
COLOR WOW Root Cover-Up
Whether you have gray hair or simply want to touch up your hairline for slicked-back looks, the COLOR WOW Root Cover-Up is one of the best products for the job. The brand has you covered (ha!) with a 30% off discount this Prime Day, too. Multiple shades are available to best suit your hair color.
Get Gentle on the strand hair ties, ideal for all hair types from thick to thin, curly to straight. Each pack contains eight hair ties
IGK Good Behavior 4-in-1 Prep Spray
One of my favorite haircare brands (to ever exist, truly) is IGK. Its IGK Good Behavior 4-in-1 Prep Spray is one of my most-used after every shower because it helps tame frizz, serves as a heat protectant, leaves my hair smooth and smells amazing. For 30% off during Prime Day, it’s a deal I’m telling everyone about.
amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo
One of the best dry shampoos, now on sale. Shop the amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo that’s 30% off for Prime Day. Its scent makes it a snag-worthy option and you’ll want to use it on the regular — like I do.

Tree of Life’s retinol serum brightens dull skin and visibly reduces lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
Honestly, there is nothing I hate more than wasting time—truly. Time is a precious commodity that is worth protecting at all costs. At first, I thought this was a brand excuse to sell and take my money, but I decided to purchase it because I was desperate to gain a few extra minutes in my life. I promised myself to try it at least once, only it worked like a dream.
Typically, drying my hair takes a good ten minutes, but with this spray, it was done in just three! That’s an extra seven minutes to savor a cup of coffee, indulge in a book, or simply take my time with everything else.
This cutting-edge technology extracts excess water from your hair without resorting to alcohol, unlike many other competitors. Retaining all that gorgeous hydration in every lock minimizes the risk of damaging your hair while blow-drying.
This review was written by Emma Sutton-Williams, commerce reporter for The Post.
Remington Shine Therapy 2-Inch Hair Straightener Iron
The Remington Shine Therapy 2-Inch Hair Straightener Iron is the perfect pick-me-up if you’re on the hunt for a new hair tool on a budget. It has earned a rank as a No.1 Amazon best-seller with more than 12,000 beaming reviews for its quality and efficiency.
This Prime Day, it’s less than $30 for you to grab. Remington has been one of my go-to collections for hair tools — especially hair straighteners and curlers — so it’s worth the buy if you’re looking for a new one, without breaking the bank.

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
If you’re in the market for a new dry shampoo, the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk is a refreshing option that is light as air and smells incredibly fresh. More than 4,000 shoppers purchase it on Amazon each month (yes, it’s that good) and it’s one I love to stock up on for an ultra-gentle cleanse.
Makeup
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
This Prime Day, you’ll snag 15% off on the already budget-friendly Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara. It’s one of the best drugstore mascaras — if not the best — and surely worth that add-to-cart purchase.
The Original MakeUp Eraser
For a simple makeup remover worth taking with you everywhere, the The Original MakeUp Eraser is fit for the job. It’s a premium beauty item that’s reusable, washable, sustainable and dermatologist-recommended, so you’ll want to grab it while it’s 30% off during Prime Day.
