Haircare deals
Amazon
After testing a litany of blow dryers, the Shark FlexStyle Hair Dryer remains a trusty option to customize your blowout on your own terms. It's usually 25% off, so Prime Day is giving us a birthday present, just because.
Amazon
Fit for women 45 and older, the Nutrafol Women's Balance Hair Growth Nutraceutical underwent clinical trials and is proven to visibly thicken the hair and scalp, with consistent use. This hair growth product is dairy free, soy free and dermatologist-recommended, with this 20%-off discount, it's the lowest price ever for a one-month supply.
The only downside is that you'll have to take four pills per day, but it's one of the most well-respected brands for hair growth, per our research and testing.
Amazon
Not going to lie, my best friend asked me if she could steal the COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray from my bathroom just the other day. It's that good, and it helps cut your blow-dry time in half once you step out of the shower. It beats its lowest price this year, so it's genuinely the best time to toss it in your beauty stockpile (otherwise known as your Amazon cart, *wink, wink*).
Amazon
The Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo just hit its record-lowest price of the year, making this investment-worthy hair cleanser worth the grab at this very moment. Paired with its conditioner, it's a match made in heaven, especially to strengthen and soften your locks.
Amazon
One of Post Wanted readers' most beloved guides is my review on the best shampoos. I've probably tried at least 300 different formulations by now, and the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo is one that'll withstand the test of time. It's one my former hairdresser's uses all the time, and I love its minty, fresh scent.
By the way, it's at a jaw-dropping price; it's beating its all-time lowest price by 21% this Prime Day. So, it's an equally great time to buy its matching conditioner that's also on sale.
Amazon
I'll be honest, I don't reach for hair oils all too often, but it's a sweet treat every now and then. This one from Olaplex is a suitable option if you're looking to enhance your hair's vibrancy, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 7%. If you've been wanting to try Olaplex, now's your moment.
Amazon
After reviewing every product amika has to offer, I'm fully committed — in sickness and in health. Its Perk Up Dry Shampoo is far more than just a pretty bottle; its 20,000 monthly Amazon shoppers are just as obsessed as I am with its fresh scent and lightweight spritz. Now, its $20 price tag is 22% below its lowest price of the year, which is quite the remarkable stat if you ask me.
Amazon
While more studies have to be conducted on whether biotin *really* works for hair growth, I tested the PURA D'OR Anti Hair-Thinning Biotin Shampoo & Deep Moisturizing Conditioner and love how the duo makes my hair feel revitalized and healthy. More than 20,000 shoppers flock to it monthly, and it's surely worth a try if you're looking to switch up your hair products.
Amazon
Enter the hair product that I can probably talk for hours about with my hairdresser: the Redken All Soft Conditioner. It's the default successor to any shampoo (seriously, it pairs well with any shampoo) and is a luxury beauty steal. While it's on sale, grab that big bottle.
Amazon
When it comes to the once-a-week hair mask, the amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask and I frequently have a meet-cute. The scent is unbelievably good, it hydrates my hair and gives just a *tiny* bit more oomph than your standard conditioner. It's 30% off, which is just about as good as it gets.
Amazon
More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers have grabbed the Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements for Women in the past month, as its three-month supply containing the brand's proprietary collagen complex has been seen to present noticeable results in the Amazon reviews section. We haven't tried the brand quite yet, but it's a favorite among Post Wanted readers and is nearing 30% off for Prime Day.
Amazon
Trend report: TYMO is one of the best brands on Amazon for budget-friendly hair tools that measure up to more expensive ones you'll find all over TikTok. The ROVY 3 Barrel Curling Iron & Hair Crimper is at its lowest price of the year, ringing in at 42% off.
Amazon
Finally, a curling iron that's easy to use and evenly distributes heat. The Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler Curling Iron is versatile, ergonomically designed and ready for your next event. It rarely goes on sale, so Prime Day is really giving us a reason to celebrate.

Hot take: I like the LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm better than its as-seen-everywhere Lip Sleeping Mask that comes in the tub. It provides the Goldilocks level of hydration and shine without being too goopy or sticky, and it's at a historically low price point. In other words, it may be your best bet to stock up on a few different varieties.
Amazon
Skip the gimmicky lash serums and move forward with what I consider the only one to work with consistent use. There's a reason more than 10,000 shoppers purchase it each month, and it's 30% off to celebrate Prime Day in the best way possible: with longer lashes. You have to commit to daily use for best results, but it's worth integrating into your evening ritual.
Amazon
To 'take the day away' as they say, the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes are what I come back to if I want a quick swipe off. That's likely why this affordable beauty bundle has garnered more than 110,000 reviews; they're easy to use, plant-based and — drumroll please — are just more than 40% off for Prime Day.
Amazon
Whether you're 15 or 55, the Laura Geller Baked Balance-N-Brighten Color-Correcting Powder Foundation is a winner for your skin. It's loaded with light to medium coverage that's buildable and gives that your-skin-but-better look. It's a No. 1 Amazon best-seller that's inching toward 50% this Prime Day.
Amazon
Available in the TikTok-viral shade 'Black Honey' as well as 'Pink Honey,' the Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm is a universally adored product for its ability to flatter just about any skin tone. It's revolutionary in that regard, and it's at its lowest price of the year, so you can skip the Macy's counter at your mall and order it while Prime Day lasts.

OK, I'm here to tell you that the EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 40 is an item that should definitely be in your cart this Prime Day. The brand is a consistent favorite in my regularly updated review on the best face sunscreens, and this one offers just the right amount of color and glow, without compromising on sun protection.
The brand has a non-tinted version on sale this Prime Day, too.
Amazon
I can't count the number of times I've recommended the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence to nearly everyone (including the nation, a là my COSRX brand review), but it's plenty. Korean skincare is where it's at, and this post-cleanser product will create that dewy finish that's simply captivating. It's a No. 1 Amazon best-seller with more than 86,000 glowing reviews — just as glowy as your skin will be.
Amazon
After reviewing quite the assortment from La-Roche Posay, its Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer stands out as a reliable, skin-soothing moisturizer that I'd recommend to just about anyone. With an impressive 90K+ purchases this month alone, its formula contains ceramides and niacinmide for that ooh-la-la feel.
Fun fact: it's just shy of its lowest price ever by $1, so it's a sweet time to buy it at an awesome price.
Amazon
Super is in this product's name for a reason, and it's because the Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is a cosmetically elegant formulation that feels weightless on the skin. It's fragrance-free as well, which my sensitive skin adores, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 13%. It hasn't been a better time to pick up this worth-the-price-tag SPF.
Amazon
If you want to skip the in-person laser hair removal, the Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 IPL Hair Removal System is arguably the best model you can purchase on Amazon. It's at its lowest price ever, touting visible hair reduction in only two uses. There are 10 power levels to adjust its settings to your comfort, too.
Amazon
One of the best hyaluronic acid serums I reviewed isn't more than $50, and now you can grab it for only $30. It contains not one but two types of the superstar hydrating ingredient, along with niacinamide to help sooth the skin. Ocean-kissed skin isn't too far away if you buy it during Prime Day, especially at 25% off.
Amazon
The Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is essentially a case study on how a Korean face mask can *really* set the scene for the industry at large. I reviewed the mask (and some other goodies from the brand), and can say with 100% certainty that this four-pack will become your new favorite at-home spa treatment, especially for only $15 during Prime Day.
Amazon
Prime Day occurs annually in July, which means it's the opportune time to stock up on your sunscreen sprays. I have an entire dresser drawer full of sunscreens galore (Hawaii honeymoon, I'm coming for ya), and this one from Sun Bum smells just like vacation for only $13 right now. Sun's out, wallet's out — and happy.
Amazon
Pores no more, am I right? When 'Korean skincare' and 'pore reducers' are mixed together, it's right up my alley. Infused with 4.5% AHA lactic acid and 0.45% BHA salicylic acid, it helps reduce greasiness and calm the skin. It's more than 50% off, which is quite the hefty markdown (thanks, Prime Day).
Amazon
If you want to up the ante on your skin's brightness level, the TruSkin Vitamin C Serum is the best I reviewed. Ultimately, any good vitamin C serum will give you that lit-from-within look, but the way that this formulation works is beyond. For 56% off (and with 150K+ gleaming reviews), it has that it-factor that you simply have to try at least once.
Amazon
The best oil cleanser I reviewed is the Anua Heartleaf Pore-Control Cleansing Oil, and it's incredibly gentle, versatile and worth every penny. Use it in the morning to wake yourself, and/or use it in the evening to rid away impurities. More than 80,000 shoppers swipe their cards on this beauty staple as well, and it's on a pretty sweet discount.
Amazon
It's lavish, it's luxurious and it layers onto your skin like a dream. It's the Nécessaire The Body Lotion, and it's one of the fanciest products in my bathroom. It's hydrating, too, but its chic bottle and serotonin boost that comes with each application makes it *chef's kiss.* It's also 20% off in any size you add to your cart.
Amazon
The Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cream is the Poster Product for appealing to any age, any person. With 4.5% squalane, it's all about nurturing your skin's moisture barrier, which is all-the-talk right now. It's 30%-off discount is near its lowest price of the year, so it's a great time to pick up a tub, especially if you have dry skin.
Amazon
Hello, sweet Prime Day savings. When Sunday Riley is on sale, we run, and its cherished C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil is that luminous elixir that deserves a spot in your Prime Day cart. It brightens and revitalizes the skin with its potent blend of antioxidant-rich ingredients.
Namely, it's infused with THD ascorbate, a stable form of vitamin C, and golden turmeric, it not only enhances radiance but also helps reduce the appearance of redness and uneven skin tone. The addition of red raspberry and evening primrose oils provides deep hydration as well, which leaves my complexion plump and glowing without any greasy residue.
Amazon
If you're someone who plays hard with SPF (pun totally intended), you'll appreciate a good stock-up on your sunscreen. The Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is one I simply can't ignore this Prime Day, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 12%. Double-win.
Amazon
The medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask's lowest price ever was $11, so snagging this on-the-rise skincare mask is a purchase I approve of this Prime Day. It helps reduce sagging and dullness and is the epitome of glass skin that fellow Korean skincare products are praised for. With more than 70,000 purchases in the past month, you and me both (yes, you) will be the next ones this Prime Day.
Amazon
Beekman 1802's Milk Rx Advanced Better Aging Cream redefines anti-aging skincare with a gentle yet powerful formula that sidesteps the irritation often linked to retinol. At its heart lies its innovative Renexosome complex, a blend of milk protein exosomes and Reneseed polypeptides that has been clinically proven to boost collagen production by 31%, while visibly lifting and firming skin when used consistently. It's *definitely* one to add to your cart.
