I’m a skincare obsessive and these are the last min deals I’m shopping from Amazon Prime Day
Great skin for less? Hell yes.
Ppl, Amazon Prime Day is officially here. Yep, the event started at 12:01 AM on Tuesday 16 July and will last until tonight, Wednesday 17 July. The time is nearing which means I’m already hunting out the best skincare deals to shop for the big day.
What skincare deals to expect in the Amazon Prime Day sale
L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Clinical 12% Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum

That’s right, many head to this event to save on a new coffee table, but me? As a beauty obsessive, I’m bulk-buying my cleansers and moisturisers until 2025. I’ve scrolled the site to find the best skincare deals available now and have put together a wish list of items just for you and me.
Skincare fanatics will know just how good this budget vitamin C serum is – and it's currently reduced by 57%. What a steal. It contains 12% L-Ascorbic acid, the most potent form of vitamin C, to brighten the skin. Meanwhile, salicylic acid works to smooth away dead skin cells. As a result? Glowy skin for the win.
The weather may not be vibing RN, but that doesn't mean you can skimp out on your sunscreen. Garnier's much-loved Anti-Age Super UV is a great all-rounder to rely on; it contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate while offering factor 50 protection. Oh, and with a side serving of an unreal 37% off.
Cosrx is the brand that convinced us all to put snail mucin on our faces, and as gross as it sounds, it’s actually a lifesaver for dehydrated skin. The essence is the brand’s most popular product, helping to soothe dryness and deliver an unreal glow, and it's currently on sale with 57% off.
Your face deserves this gorgeous moisturiser. Aveeno knows how to nail it with a comforting, creamy and barrier-reparing cream. It's a brill formula for sensitive skin types thanks to clever oat ingredients.
If you’re after a refreshing and lightweight day cream, look no further than Elemis’ Pro Collagen Lightweight Moisturiser. It’s packed with 20 types of roses to soothe the skin, while additional plant extracts hydrate and plump.
It’s a little spenny – although one tub will last you months – so I’d suggest making the most of this 23% off sale and hope that Prime Day delivers more, too.
I’m a firm believer in the pimple patch. In one night, these small yet mighty stickers can suck up all the gunk living inside your spot. Gross but glorious.
A fave is the Dots for Spots; each one coats your pimple in hydrocolloid which promotes faster healing without drying out your skin.
When in doubt, CeraVe. That’s how the saying goes, right? For my pimple-prone peeps, make use of this discount on the Blemish Control Cleanser. Packed with niacinamide and salicylic acid, it’ll rid your pores of oil and dirt while the ceramides will keep a calm skin barrier.
Refill pouches are one of the best ways to stock up on your favourite beauty products, like this Clarins Cleansing Milk. It contains 400ml of product, currently has 25% off and is more plenty-friendly than re-buying another bottle. Win-win!
IMO, this is bargain hunting at its finest. Walk into any Superdrug or Boots and you’ll be shocked at the price of a micellar water nowadays. With Amazon Prime, you can bag Garnier’s OG formula for just over £5 and it’ll arrive on your doorstep the next day.
Olay knows how to make a fantastic moisturiser, including this 7-in-1 formula that also contains SPF 30. It feels lovely on the skin so is fantastic if you're not a fan of traditional sunscreens; just make sure to use enough to get the SPF 30 protection. It's currently over 40% off, so stock up before the deal disappears.
Foreo Bear 2 Advanced Lifting & Toning Microcurrent Facial Device
Wanna tone that jawline without forking out hundreds on profesh treatments? Take a look here. Foreo’s Bear combines microcurrent with T-sonic vibrations to sculpt and define. Just see it as a toning workout for your face.
Of course, these high-tech gadgets can get a little pricey, so make the most of the current sale!
Bondi Sands is an OG tanning product for good reason, so if it’s your go-to, now is your time to stock up as the foam is currently reduced by 22%. Giving you a warmer complexion in as little as an hour, the airy foam delivers a rich tan that’s believable and streak-free – just make sure to use a mitt.
Aveeno just knows how to make a brill moisturiser and this classic daily body lotion is no different. Formulated with prebiotic colloidal oat, this is one of the most soothing body creams out there.
Allow Olay to teach you a lesson in ‘just because it’s cheap, doesn't mean it’s less effective’. The brand’s Retinol24 serum is a top player for Cosmo. It’s hydrating but is also loaded with a potent retinol complex to smooth fine lines and pigmentation. The current 68% off price tag won’t break the bank, either.
With this device, you get two types of light therapy: red and infrared. The former helps with collagen production to plump the skin and the latter helps to reduce redness and sensitivity. Come through Amazon!
Take a moment to chill for yourself with these Grace & Stella eye masks and being 27% is even more reason to.
Olay knows how to make a fantastic moisturiser and this one contains peptides to help repair collagen structures in the skin and contains SPF 30 for protection against UV damage (just make sure to use enough of it to get the right amount of protection).
Get that spa-at-home feeling with ESPA’s nourishing and hydrating serum. We recommend you use this baby daily (even if you’ve got sensitive skin) to protect your skin’s natural barrier. We love giving our face some TLC in the evening – apply this with a gua sha for extra relaxation points.
If you don’t already own the miracle-worker that is Bio-Oil, Amazon Prime Day is the perf time to put that right. The completely natural oil is infused with Vitamin A and E which works to improve your skin’s texture and provides a nourishing but non-greasy finish. We use ours on stretch marks, dark spots and scars.
