Cleansers

Amazon has some excellent discounts on cleansers for Prime Day, so if you’re looking to switch yours up, now’s a great time. When looking for cleansers, keep your skin type in mind. If you have dry skin, you might just love a cleansing balm, like this one from Elemis. They’re typically rich, gentle formulas with nourishing oils to remove makeup and dirt without stripping your skin. You could also opt for foamy formulations from CeraVe, or cleansing oils from Julep. If you’re managing dark spots or premature aging, you’ll want to look for brightening, hydrating ingredients, like those found in Image Skincare’s vitamin C cleanser. 

Dealing with pimples? Exfoliating, acne-fighting ingredients will nip it in the bud. We spotted Neutrogena’s oil-free acne-fighting face wash on the list of deals.

Serums and Face Oils

Some of Amazon’s best beauty deals are on serums, considering that most of them come at a higher price point. Packed with active ingredients and effective formulations, a serum can be the thing that transforms your skin. L’Oreal has a lovely hydrating hyaluronic acid serum to help fill in fine lines. And who could resist a vitamin C brightening serum? Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil effectively exfoliates without creating irritation. We also spotted other skin-care faves on sale, including serums that target fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.

Treatments and Masks

Using a weekly face mask is a fun way to switch up your skin-care routine, and right now you can find a handful that are marked down for Amazon Prime Day. For quick exfoliation, Elemis’s handy peel pads are an easy way to get the job done. The Differin gel treatment is perfect for anyone dealing with acne, blackheads, clogged pores, and/or oily skin. If you want to go the toner route, Bliss’s SELF Healthy Beauty Award-winning option is on sale right now.

Moisturizers

Moisturizers are key for all skin types. Yes, even if you have oily, acne-prone skin. If that is the case, you’ll want to shop for moisturizers with gel or water cream formulations and plenty of hyaluronic acid (like Olay’s Regenerist Whip and Elemis’s Pro-Collagen marine cream). You might also want to look for a moisturizer that doubles as SPF to save yourself a skin-care step (hello, Everyday Human’s tinted cream). 

Makeup Remover

Before you can even think about the rest of your routine, you have to start with a clean slate. Garnier is one of the highest-rated micellar water options on the market—and it’s on sale right now ahead of Prime Day. If you’re looking to make eco-conscious swaps, we love Greenzla’s washable microfiber rounds replace your single-use cotton rounds. What’s more, they’ll save you money in the long run. 

Sunscreen

SPF is your friend every day, and with these stellar finds you have no excuses to go sans sunscreen. Amazon has both chemical and mineral sunscreens on sale right now for whatever your preference is. For everyday wear, look to Tula’s gel sunscreen and EltaMD’s UV Daily. Each is lightweight enough for the final step in your skin-care routine. For beach days, sweaty hikes, or other outdoor adventures, Sun Bum have hardworking mineral sunscreens. You could also opt for Neutrogena’s classic Dry Touch sunscreen, which will keep your skin protected and clear—even if you’re prone to breakouts.

Skin-Care Tools

Though they’re not essential, beauty tools like jade rollers, microcurrent devices, and ice rollers certainly feel like luxe additions to your skin-care routine. You’ll find fan-favorite NuFACE devices on super sale during Prime Day, plus markdowns on the cute (and gently effective) Foreo cleansing brushes. 

We also spotted some good deals on ice rollers and gua sha stones, which we love keeping in the fridge to help soothe redness, de-puff, cool off after a workout, and even ease TMJ pain.
