17 Beauty Prime Day Finds
Promising review: "Finally! A winner! I have spent an embarrassing amount of money on trying to find a decent under-eye concealer, with the hope I could find one that didn't emphasize my fine lines. Well, I have now found the perfect concealer that gives everything one could want in an under-eye concealer. It covers better than any other I have tried. And yep, it even seems to cover the fine lines! This is the winner! I would definitely recommend." —GGPrice: $19.20 (originally $32)
33% off a box of peroxide-free Lumineux teeth whitening strips for getting those pearly whites without shelling out too much green. The sage and coconut oil formula is made to be tough on stains while being gentle on your teeth.
With at least 21 treatments in each box, you're set for weeks of brightening. Promising review: "I'm LOYAL to these teeth whitening strips! I have super-sensitive teeth...cold, hot, even regular whitening products usually leave me in pain. So I was a little hesitant to try this, but I'm really glad I did. These are the only whitening strips I've used that don't cause any sensitivity at all. No zaps of pain, no lingering discomfort. Just gradual, gentle whitening. After using these consistently, I've noticed my teeth look brighter and more even-toned without that too-white, artificial look. It's a really natural result, and I can keep using them without worrying about sensitivity flaring up." —JojoPrice: $29.99 (regularly $44.99)
25% off La Roche Posay Toleriane face moisturizer, created with ingredients like ceramide and niacinamide to help soothe, protect, and retain hydration in the skin.
Promising review: "Simple moisturizer that works like a dream. This is the best moisturizer I've used thus far. It's pillowy soft, and it pairs nicely with my serums. My skin looks plump and supple — which is saying a lot because I have not been drinking enough water this week. You wouldn't be able to tell at all. So far, it wears well under makeup. It's not heavy or greasy, but it works. For reference, I have oily/combination skin. Most products aren't 'one size fits all,' but this one is as close as you can get. Give it a try if you're thinking about it." —ClaricePrice: $17.99 (regularly $23.99)

Promising review: "Possibly the greatest lip color ever! The color is gorgeous! The perfect 'barely there' hint of darkness. It enhances your natural lip color and, without any cayenne pepper or crazy plumping chemicals, makes your lips look fuller naturally. Feels great, not sticky, not drying. Not too glossy. Love the size of the slim tube. Easy to pop into a small bag." —Wayne HPrice: $17.50 (originally $25; available in two shades)
22% off the viral Cremo body wash infused with Italian bergamot, vetiver, and neroli blossom, creating a scent that's luxuriously elegant without the luxe price tag.
Promising review: "Elevates my shower routine — luxury scent without the luxury price. I've been using the Cremo Palo Santo body wash for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed. The scent is rich and complex, creating a fragrance that's both grounding and refreshing. The formula lathers up beautifully, turning into a creamy foam that feels moisturizing without being greasy. My skin feels clean and soft afterward, not tight or dry. I appreciate that it's designed for all skin types, and I haven't experienced any irritation. What really stands out is the longevity of the scent. It lingers subtly on the skin, and I've even noticed it on my clothes the next day. It's not overpowering, just a pleasant, masculine aroma that makes me feel put together." —LisaPrice: $12.33 (originally $15.97; available in four scents)
30% off an ultrafine Laneige Neo blurring powder that absorbs oil and blurs the look of pores. It also comes in a super-handy compact complete with a mirror, making it perfect for on-the-go glam sessions!
Promising review: "This is the secret for makeup in hot and humid climates! I am a sweaty person, but I also love wearing makeup regardless of the weather. While holidaying in Southeast Asia at the start of the wet season, I faced temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius (95–104 degrees Fahrenheit) with high humidity. After finishing my base makeup, I applied this powder all over. I did not use a setting spray because most break me out. Luckily, no setting spray was necessary while I was using this setting powder! It kept my foundation and cream blush from separating or becoming patchy and also kept me from being too shiny. I reapplied a couple of times per day. This is magical, and I will definitely be using it regularly during the summers in North America, too!" —Sara LimaPrice: $17.50 (originally $25)
30% off Dr.Jart+ Cicapair tiger grass color correcting treatment made with a blend of tiger grass, aloe vera, and chamomile extract to smooth and hydrate your skin. You can use it to cover blemishes, neutralize redness, and protect your skin from the sun with SPF 30, and also as a makeup primer.
Promising review: "Holy wow! This stuff is amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect, really, but it covers my redness better than anything I've tried. Concealer and foundation always look cakey, sit in my pores, or wear off after a few hours. This went on like a moisturizer and was still going strong after 12 hours, and it just looked like my skin without the redness. I like a natural look but have rosacea and need to cover it. This made me look like I had naturally clear skin." —Cynthia DPrice: $17.50 (originally $25+; available in two sizes)
30% off a moisturizing Mise en Scène serum ready to give your locks the intense hydration and nourishment they've probably been craving. This dreamy concoction is derived from seven oils: argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia.
Promising review: "The scent is nice. I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've been using salon products for over a decade, and this is way better. And cheaper. I've even gotten compliments on how silky smooth my hair looks. I put it on while my hair is wet, then again when I style, if my hair gets frizzy from my flat iron, and to tame flyaways. It's my favorite hair product I own." —Amy WiltPrice: $14.69 (originally $20.99; available in eight formulas)
30% off Clinique High Impact mascara designed to give your lashes that wow factor — think longer, fuller, and ready to slay from morning till night. Plus, it's made to play nice with sensitive eyes or contacts.
Promising reviews: "This mascara is really great! It goes on easy. It doesn't clump, and it comes off easier than any other mascara I have owned. You don't even need a special remover to take it off." —BAG-SHG"Recommended to me by someone with sensitive eyes who saw me reacting to another mascara. This has been a game changer. No more tearing eyes from fumes and irritants. Black honey is a great color, too!" —RHHPrice: $9.10+ (originally $13+; available in two sizes)
35% off Fwee 3D moisturizing gloss that smooths over fine lines, wrinkles, and dry spots, leaving your lips with a high-shine, glazed look. This formula features two pigment options so you can customize your look with a subtle, sheer tint with 30% pigment or dial it up with 70% pigment for a bold, vivid pop of color.
Promising reviews: "This lip gloss glides on so well! It has a nice pigment, and I love that there are the 30% and 70%, which cater to different preferences. I got three of the 30% and one of the 70% because I like a more natural look. The packaging is also really cute! Korean lippies are the best!" —Sunny"Feels like butter spun into silk on your lips. I have 70% currant, and I love it so much. I will be purchasing more shades! 😍" —KarliPrice: $11.05 (originally $17; available in 17 colors)
20% off Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment, here to help target discoloration and dark spots with refreshing and toning licorice root and lemongrass, making your skin look as if it's got that radiant glow.

I'm 45 years old, and I've been using this for three years now. I've tried so many different eye creams, and this is by far the absolute best! I LOVE how it gives you an instantly brighter look! I'm not joking when I tell you I love this stuff. I have the travel size in my purse so I can dab it on whenever I want, LOL. Sunday Riley products are amazing!" —Mandy AndersonPrice: $59.59 (regularly $75)
30% off Beekman 1802 mushroom goat milk eye cream, formulated with 5% hexapeptide, meant to ease muscle contractions in order to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This might have everyone thinking you've been getting your beauty sleep.
Promising review: "My eye area is sensitive to everything. I have tried so many eye products, and nothing has worked! All other products cause me to have itchy, watery eyes if they get anywhere near my eyes. Anti-wrinkle products usually cause my eyes to water the most. This cream doesn't make my eyes itchy or watery at all, and it helps minimize my wrinkles! I have been using it for over a year now and love it. All the Beekman products I have used (which is almost all of them) are amazing! If you're a super-sensitive-skin girl like me, buy this. You won't regret it!" —Sarah ReavesPrice: $36.40 (originally $52)
30% off SexyHair Big Spray & Play volumizing hairspray with stay-put hold that's still flexible enough so you don't hear that cringeworthy crunch every time you move.
Promising review: "This works great for me whenever I get my hair straight or a blowout. It doesn't leave my hair crunchy or anything after I use it, and it smells nice. Good for keeping my hair in check in humidity." —AshPrice: $16.07 (originally $22.95)
25% off some fragrance-free Avène thermal spring water whenever you feel that your skin needs calming or a quick pick-me-up. It's also approved by the National Eczema Association.
Promising reviews: "This is a summer must-have. At the lake, at home in front of a fan, or if you are a woman of a certain age with night sweats — this is a can of instant refreshing relief from heat, sweating, and sunburns." —Jennifer"I have dry, sensitive skin, and I saw this product recommended by a reputable influencer. I didn't really expect that it would be anything special, but I was willing to give it a try. I LOVE it! The spray pattern is perfect (light and well distributed), the size of the product is substantial, and the variety of uses makes it more than a single-purpose product. I spray it on immediately before I moisturize. My skin looks much calmer. I have rosacea, and this has helped. And it's from France, so of course it feels like a very elegant addition to my skincare routine." —PepeLaPuePrice: $14.25 (originally $19)
30% off a long-lasting Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray — a favorite among beauty enthusiasts because it keeps your glam on lock while you're out living your best life.

When I tell you it sets your makeup, I mean it LOCKS it in like a dream. My makeup doesn't just stay, it stays flawlessly — as if I just finished applying it, even hours (and hours!) later. This is a holy grail product. Believe the hype. I never travel without it, and I honestly can't imagine doing my makeup without finishing with this spray. 10/10, highly recommend!!" —Mark & NykeaPrice: $25.20 (originally $36; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Love this product so, so much. I have sensitive skin and am very wary about trying new things, but this face wash is incredible. Will be my go-to from now on. My acne scars have faded, and my skin texture is evening out. You only need about a half pump and it suds up like wild. I can tell, too, that this bottle is going to last me a LONG time. Worth every cent." —Justice TPrice: $29.25 (originally $39)
15% off a PMD personal microdermabrasion kit you can use on your face and body so you can get that fresh-from-the-med-spa glow without even stepping out of your PJs.

There is a range of discs to customize your treatment to your skin. You can choose among ultrasensitive, very sensitive, sensitive, and moderate.Promising review: "As an aesthetician, I would recommend this product! I was quite skeptical when buying this, but I wanted to give it a try. I figured it would not give a real exfoliation like the machines I use; I figured it would be way too weak to even make a difference. I WAS WAY WRONG and happily shocked. I loved this machine we had, which cost over $10,000, which essentially did the same thing as this device." —JenniferPrice: $95.40 (originally $111.99)

The best sunscreens for mature skin, according to dermatologists over 40
Sunscreen for mature skin quick picks An invisible, everyday sunscreen: La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Hydra Invisible Sunscreen An anti-aging mineral SPF: Isdin Eryfotona Actinica Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ A sheer coverage tinted SPF: EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion A sunscreen stick for easy reapplication: MDSolarSciences Solar Stick SPF 40 The best sunscreen is one that you look forward to putting on every day, and it's no different when it comes to the best sunscreens for mature skin. As we get older, the requirements of a great skin care product evolve with our needs. For instance, for those who've entered their 40s (whether recently or years ago), it makes sense to be looking for a face sunscreen that's deeply hydrating, protective against a range of environmental stressors or even capable of reversing existing sun damage. The benefits of sunscreen, both aesthetic and practical, become even more critical as we age. Sure, there are fine lines and dark spots to worry about, but following sun safety best practices can also help manage conditions like rosacea and reduce risks of skin cancer. The key lies in finding the right SPF products for your skin, applying sunscreen regularly and, most importantly, being consistent about it. That's why we've consulted seven dermatologists and skin care experts, each over the age of 40, to let us in on their sunscreen need-to-knows. Ahead, they explain what to look for in a sunscreen for mature skin, answer frequently asked questions around SPF and skin health, and share their top picks and the products they're actually using everyday. Isdin Eryfotona Actinica Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ This extremely lightweight mineral sunscreen is a go-to for several of our experts. It's 'wonderful for mature skin that needs both prevention and a boost in repairing past sun damage,' said board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, who recommends it as one of her top choices for daily use, particularly if you're concerned about actinic damage or pre-cancers. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Robyn Gmyrek added that it's a great option for normal to oily skin types with existing sun damage. La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Correct Sunscreen SPF 70 'This sunscreen is packed with niacinamide and antioxidants to visibly improve skin texture and tone over time,' Gmyrek said. 'It's great for dry or mature skin and wears beautifully under makeup.' Olga Skydan, a licensed aesthetician who holds a dermatology degree in Ukraine agreed, adding that she loves how it doesn't feel sticky or overly matte but rather dries down quickly to a natural finish. 'It's great for those with sun damage, dark spots or anyone who wants to simplify their routine by combining sunscreen with corrective care,' she said. Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart Broad Spectrum SPF 50 'I'm personally a huge fan of this,' Engelman said. 'It combines high-level UV and pollution protection with powerful antioxidants, making it ideal for aging skin exposed to urban stressors.' EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion Another favorite among our experts, this gentle tinted sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi said this makes it an ideal option for mature, sensitive or post-procedure skin. It also contains 'hyaluronic acid for hydration and iron oxides to protect against visible light, which is key for preventing pigmentation,' Gmyrek added. She recommends it for those in search of light coverage, a smooth finish and an overall versatile sunscreen that can be worn alone or under makeup. Epionce Daily Shield Tinted SPF 50 Sunscreen This water-resistant tinted sunscreen is a fan-favorite amongst board-certified dermatologist Dr. Brenda Pellicane's clientele. 'Patients love the hydrating formulation and the universal tint that evens out skin tone while imparting a natural-looking healthy glow,' she Skincare HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 36 According to double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jaimie Glick, aging often goes hand in hand with drier skin. Because of this, she recommends that those with mature skin seek out mineral sunscreens, which are often less likely to cause irritation or an allergic reaction. She personally loves and uses this tinted option from Alastin. Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 Skydan is a fan of this tinted mineral sunscreen, which adapts to your skin tone to give it a radiant and glowing finish without any heaviness. 'I like that it feels more like a skin tint than a traditional sunscreen, but still gives strong UV protection and shields against pollution and blue light,' she said. Skydan recommends it especially for those with redness and our review iS Clinical PerfecTint Powder SPF 40 'Powder sunscreen formulations are an excellent option for SPF on the go,' Pellicane said. Her favorite option is this conveniently packaged tinted powder, which in addition to being available in a couple different shades, 'provides silky-smooth broad-spectrum coverage and simultaneously minimizes the appearance of pores.' MDSolarSciences Mineral Tinted Crème Sunscreen SPF 30 Glick recommends tinted sunscreens, specifically those containing iron oxides — which she said are effective when it comes to preventing pigmentary disorder — for those with mature skin. One of her favorites is this silky and blendable option, which boasts a radiant yet natural matte finish. Skinbetter Sunbetter Tone Smart SPF 68 Sunscreen Compact 'This is a fantastic multitasker,' said Engelman, who uses this for both daily wear and for easy reapplication over makeup. 'It's a mineral sunscreen in a sleek compact that offers SPF 68 protection, plus a subtle tint to blur imperfections,' she said. 'It's ideal for mature skin needing both defense and a polished finish.' MM Skin Care Tinted Clear Skin SPF 50 Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur described this tinted sunscreen from her own line as perfect for mature skin, especially for those in search of a more lightweight and calming everyday formula. 'It not only has a beautiful tint, but also has multiple skin care [ingredients] in it,' she said. 'It contains lactic and hyaluronic acid, as well as niacinamide to brighten the skin and reduce dark spots.' AziMD Hydratint BB SPF 44 'For those over 60, I often recommend tinted mineral sunscreens with added skin care benefits,' Shirazi said, highlighting this one from her brand. It is a multi-purpose skin care product that 'offers broad-spectrum protection, hydration and a radiant finish for a filter-like appearance," she said. La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Hydra Invisible Sunscreen For an invisible formula, Shirazi recommends this chemical sunscreen, which boasts a hydrating and lotion-like texture that she describes as ideal for mature and dry skin. In addition to offering strong UVA and UVB protection, the formulation is enriched with glycerin as well as the brand's thermal spring water, both of which 'help retain moisture and comfort sensitive skin,' she said. Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50 If you're looking for a gentle everyday sunscreen that's also ideal for sensitive skin, Marmur recommends this affordable option. 'It's lightweight and includes vitamin E,' she said, which helps to soothe skin and restore your natural barrier. Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 'I recommend this especially for those with sensitive or reactive skin, including eczema or rosacea,' Engelman said. 'It uses zinc oxide for broad-spectrum coverage without irritating additives, making it perfect for mature skin that's also delicate or prone to redness.' iS Clinical Extreme Protect SPF 40 Pellicane's personal favorite sunscreen is this mineral-based, broad-spectrum, transparent option. 'It hydrates and softens the skin while providing an antioxidant-rich protective barrier,' she said. It also boasts a proprietary combination of enzymes 'proven to repair fragile proteins and DNA components,' according to the dermatologist. In addition to this sheer option, it's available in three tinted shades. CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30 'This very affordable sunscreen features a combination of both mineral and chemical sun filters,' Marmur said. Formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides, she explained, it's a super hydrating product and a great option for those with mature skin. Alastin SilkShield Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 A popular non-tinted sunscreen option amongst Pellicane's clientele, 'patients love this lightweight, fast-absorbing sunscreen that blends in sheer,' she said. It's oil-free, fragrance-free, 'great for sensitive skin and can be used post-procedure.' Arbonne FunSun Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 Gmyrek recommends this mineral, zinc oxide-based sunscreen that offers 'a light, glowy finish that blends easily under makeup.' In addition to being water-resistant, it contains glycerin, aloe, sunflower oil and green tea — all ingredients that the dermatologist said helps support a drier, mature skin barrier. MDSolarSciences Solar Stick SPF 40 'This is my go-to for reapplying throughout the day or targeting delicate areas like the eyes, lips and nose,' Skydan said. 'The formula glides on smoothly and has a silky, non-greasy finish that blurs imperfections without drying out the skin,' she explained. 'I like that it's compact and easy to use on the go, especially for mature skin that needs mid-day touch-ups without disrupting makeup.' Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ Glick recommends this clear sunscreen stick, perfect for SPF touchups and areas of your skin extra prone to burning. 'Although not a mineral sunscreen, the product's easy application is great for eyelids and lips and for reapplication on the face and body,' she said. When it comes to must-haves for mature skin-friendly sunscreen, our experts recommend a mineral-based, broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher that also includes additional hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides or squalane — all of which help maintain your skin barrier. If you have sensitive skin, opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are less likely to be irritating to the skin. 'In addition to hydrating ingredients, I prioritize sunscreens that contain antioxidants, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory ingredients,' Pellicane said. 'UV exposure can create free radicals in the skin, which damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process,' she added. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E work to neutralize these free radicals, preventing further damage to your skin cells and maintaining plump and elastic skin. 'Chronic inflammation also contributes to skin aging, redness and irritation,' she said, while 'many antioxidants — such as green tea extract and niacinamide — have anti-inflammatory properties that can calm the skin and reduce puffiness, redness or irritation.' In addition to formulation, consider whether you'd prefer a sheer or tinted sunscreen. 'I personally prefer to wear a tinted SPF,' Shirazi said. 'Not only does it offer broad-spectrum protection, but many tinted formulas also contain iron oxides, which help protect against visible light and pigmentation — something I'm always mindful of as someone with melasma,' she explained. 'A well-formulated tinted SPF can also even out the skin tone and give a healthy glow.' All in all, what's most important when it comes to your sunscreen is that you're consistent about wearing it. 'I always say the best sunscreen is the one you love to wear,' Shirazi said. 'When a sunscreen feels good and enhances your skin, daily use becomes effortless and that's what matters most.' The following FAQs have been answered by dermatologists Dr. Dendy Engelman, Dr. Jaimie Glick, Dr. Robyn Gmyrek, Dr. Ellen Marmur, Dr. Brenda Pellicane, Dr. Azadeh Shirazi and Olga Skydan. What is the best face sunscreen for older skin? What is the best face sunscreen for older skin? 'Choose a sunscreen that protects and supports your skin's changing needs,' Skydan said. 'Mature skin tends to lose moisture and elasticity, so I look for formulas that combine broad-spectrum protection with ingredients that hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier,' she said. 'It should feel comfortable enough to wear daily and layer well with other skincare or makeup.' Pellicane typically suggests a mineral-based sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, since the formulations are generally gentler and take effect immediately. Both she and Shirazi recommend that those with mature skin prioritize nourishing, hydrating and protective ingredients. Some of our experts' go-tos include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for broad spectrum protection, hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and plump fine lines, aloe or niacinamide for anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants like vitamins C and E to fight free radical damage, and peptides or ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and improve elasticity. What is the best sunscreen for aging skin over 60? What is the best sunscreen for aging skin over 60? When it comes to sunscreen for those over 60, our experts primarily recommend tinted mineral sunscreens with added skin care benefits. 'These formulas tend to be gentler on more delicate skin, and the tint helps even out skin tone without settling into fine lines,' Shirazi said. One of her favorite options, a sunscreen also recommended by Glick, is the Isdin Eryfotona Ageless Ultralight Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. Created by the same brand as one of our all-around best sunscreen picks for those with mature skin, this lightweight mineral sunscreen blends into your skin easily while supporting collagen health, Shirazi said. Glick also noted that it's formulated with patented DNA repairsomes, 'which have been clinically proven to repair existing sun damage,' she said. The other most common pick amongst our experts was the EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion, one of our favorites and Skydan's go-to recommendation for those over 60. 'The tint helps balance redness or uneven tone, and the hyaluronic acid makes it suitable for drier or thinner skin,' she said. 'It's an ideal option if you want simple protection for your skin — it's very gentle and leaves your skin looking and feeling fresh.' Does sunscreen really make a difference in aging? Does sunscreen really make a difference in aging? In short, heck yes. 'Sunscreen absolutely makes a difference in aging — more than any other skin care product,' Gmyrek said. 'Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the primary environmental factor that accelerates skin aging.' This includes wrinkles, loss of elasticity, uneven texture and pigmentation. 'Studies show that regular sunscreen use prevents new damage and helps to reverse early signs of photoaging over time,' Skydan said. 'Even if you already have sun damage, it's not too late.' Our experts recommend consistent and daily use. 'Even on cloudy days,' Pellicane said, 'and reapply every couple of hours if you're outside.' As Shirazi explains; 'I often tell patients that if you're investing in anti-aging serums or procedures but skipping sunscreen, you're undermining your results — it's the foundation of any effective anti-aging routine.' The experts also noted that sunscreen protects you beyond aesthetic concerns associated with aging. 'It's essential for protecting against cancer-causing cellular damage,' Engelman said. In addition to sunscreen, UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) is another way to help protect your skin against sun damage. 'UPF measures how well fabrics block UV rays while SPF measures how well sunscreen blocks against UV,' Glick said. She recommends that her patients also wear a wide brim sun hat, specifically ones like this that boast UPF protection, to maximize your skin safety. For this article, we consulted the following skin experts to gain their professional insights. Dr. Dendy Engelman, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at the Shafer Clinic Dr. Jaimie Glick, double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Robyn Gmyrek, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur, board-certified dermatologist and founder of MMSkincare Dr. Brenda Pellicane, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi, board-certified dermatologist and founder of La Jolla Laser Derm Olga Skydan, dermatologist, licensed esthetician and medical expert board member at Luvly CNN Underscored has a team of skilled writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted.

ZERO cystic acne breakouts since I began using the cleanser." —Target_Customer22613579Price: $7.99+ (available in three sizes and one refill pack) Thayers Unscented Facial Toner preps your skin in a multitude of ways while the alcohol-free witch hazel and aloe vera work BTS to reduce pores, hydrate your skin, and smooth texture. Sweep it across your face twice a day after cleansing to prep your skin for the rest of your routine. You can even use it to soothe your skin after shaving and waxing, prepare your face for makeup, clean your nails before a manicure, or calm irritation from sunburns, bug bites, and new tattoos. Promising review: "This toner has been a game-changer for my skincare routine! I love that it's gentle on my skin yet still effectively removes impurities and balances my complexion. Since it's alcohol free, it doesn't dry out my skin or cause any irritation, which is a big plus. The unscented formula is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or those who prefer a more neutral experience. I've noticed my skin feels smoother, hydrated, and refreshed after each use. The packaging is simple and easy to use, and a little goes a long way. This toner has quickly become a staple in my daily skincare regimen, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a gentle, non-drying toner." —A complete set Price: $10.99 (also available in rose petal, lavender, and cucumber scents) The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner — aka "miracle in a bottle" or "magic" according to some reviewers — tackles texture, skin tone, radiance, and dryness. While the brand doesn't recommend this for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin, the solution is designed for mild exfoliation (and for areas beyond your face!) so you can use it after cleansing on the reg. If your skin tends to be reactive or you're new to acids, patch test and work your way up to incorporating it into your daily routine. The brand recommends this for your evening routine, though if you're going to use it during the day, follow with an SPF. The formula also includes a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative — a plant extract for soothing skin and reducing irritation during exfoliation. You can even use this toning solution on your scalp a few times a week to combat dryness or on small areas of the body for rough and bumpy reviewers have also applied this to their arms and legs to address strawberry skin — or keratosis pilaris — while others have used it as a deodorant, armpit brightener, and heel exfoliant. You know what that means: more bang for your buck!Promising review: "I've never seen such immediate results from a product before!!! After one use, I noticed my skin was plumper and smoother. I've been using it for about 5 days now and my pores appear smaller and my skin has never felt so smooth and moisturized." —HannahPromising review: "Really good product! it can be used for a multitude of things and it's fairly unscented. i use it for odor reduction, hyperpigmentation, body acne scars, childhood scars, and strawberry legs and it works very well with lightening and fading. i don't even have to use deodorant anymore. my only issue is that it's mildly irritating. if you have sensitive skin take this into consideration." —kofiPrice: $8.70+ (available in two sizes) Grace & Stella Energizing Eye Masks give your under-eyes a luxe boost when you've had a late night, the tossing and turning kind of sleep, an early morning when all you want is to hit snooze (a daily struggle for me), or just because you want to pamper yourself. Hyaluronic acid, chondrus crispus (which the brand says works against the visible effects of blue light exposure, aka purple tones), and glycerin work to hydrate, brighten, and plump the skin. Hack: Store the masks in the fridge (like I and many reviewers have done) to give them a cooling effect — like cucumbers for your eyes! Use these masks any time of day, as much as you'd like, and keep them on for 15–20 minutes. That means a quick little spa treatment at home or on the go — whenever you want! While some reviewers mention using these in their morning routine, others have noted that they use it at night, even going to bed with them!Promising reviews: "The first thing I do when I wake up is put on a pair of these eye patches. Then I do wordle and go about the rest of getting ready for the day. They cool and tighten the skin around my eyes so I feel bright and more awake. Give them a try." —ELIZ"These patches actually stay on when doing activities! I have a 30 min commute to work and I wear them driving and they don't slip off my face. Also they really do energize under the eye!" —JenPrice: $9.99+ (for six pairs; also available in 24 and 48 pairs)A few people have also said that there is enough juice in the package to reuse a set of masks — so you can double the amount of times you use them. RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream is a 3-in-1 targeting wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. So whether you're a night owl, a crybaby, or simply seeing the normal signs of aging, the cream is gentle enough to use once or twice a day. Just work your way up to frequent use if you have sensitive skin. Promising review: "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I wish i could give it 6 stars. I've had dark circles/lines since I was a kid(genetics). I've tried everything from home remedies to very expensive eye creams and nothing has worked! Until I tried ROC eye cream! I was shocked the first time I used it, I noticed results with my fine lines. I'm in love with this eye cream! I use it twice a day sometimes. It's been a month since I started and my fine lines/ dark circles are disappearing!" —melinaPrice: $12.99+ (available in two sizes) Pacifica Crystal Wand Secret Weapon Rose Quartz Facial Roller can be used on your face and neck to massage the skin and relieve pressure. Use it with a serum or stick it in the fridge to give your face a cooling wake-up call in the mornings. Rose quartz is known as the "love stone" so it's a pretty-in-pink way to show yourself some love. One reviewer even said they feel like Beyoncé when they use it, aka "feelin' myself!" It has a small and large end, depending on what part of your face you're reviews: "This is the first roller I've ever bought. I'm skeptical of it leading to any noticeable changes to my skin, but it is very calming and nice to use. I love using it in the morning out of the fridge to wake me up. It is nice for headaches as well. The only issue I've had with it is occasionally the small roller gets stuck and doesn't roll." —Julia"I bought this because i have significant acne scarring and read that these rollers can help break up scar tissue and over time fade scars. i can't speak to the long-term efficacy, but using the roller is such a relaxing experience. the quartz is cooling on my skin, and it does feel like it's making my skin a bit brighter." —tayPrice: $18.99 Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C Serum gives your skin a big ol' drink of L-ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, and vitamin E for brighter, more even skin, protection against environmental ~stressors~ like pollutants, and boosts collagen production. So if you have discoloration, dullness, stressed skin, or uneven skin tone and texture, add this to your morning (follow with SPF!) or evening routine. Reviewers have even said it's similar to a popular, more $$$ option. Tip: Stick it in the fridge so it lasts longer! A handful of reviewers have complained that it is a little too runny for them or that it smells like hot dogs, while some have said other vitamin C options smell much worse. But if you notice those traits, the cons could be outweighed by praise for the results, from a noticeable glow to fading post-acne marks and sun reviews: "I've been using this serum daily for about three months now and I am very pleased with the results. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and dark sun spots, I wouldn't say they've completely disappeared but they have faded quite noticeably. Ever since using this product, my skin is so smooth, no texture or enlarged pores. Also, I used to struggle with scars. I don't break out a lot, but when I do, I'd always have a scar from the pimple for weeks after it was gone. Since using this, there have been no marks or scars. I just can't say enough good things about this vitamin C. I buy the big 4 oz bottle and it lasts me for a few months and that's using it everyday." —Sarah R"I've used a few vitamin c serums that mimic the skinceuticals ferulic version and they all work well (including this serum) but what puts this one above all others is the packaging. Vitamin C oxidizes and this bottle prevents that. All others come in a dropper and you're stuck with an expensive oxidized serum after a few weeks. This has stayed fresh since I purchased it a few months ago. Highly recommend!!" —PPPrice: $25.99+ (available in two sizes) E.l.f. Holy Hydration Face Cream has some reviewers saying "holy grail!" not just because it's in the name but because of its ability to hydrate, brighten and even skin tone, and improve moisture balance and elasticity. Filled with squalane, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and a peptide complex, this moisturizer is designed for all skin types but especially for sensitive skin. Promising reviews: "It's been a while I have found such a hydrating clean fragrance free facial cream. I wear it every day during the day and night. It's been a week and I've already seen improvement in my skin. I have smoother skin without getting greasy." —Jessgh"This has been my go-to for a year now. I use it as the final step after my serums. The price is great, so I don't hesitate to apply it to my neck and chest as well. It's also excellent under SPF and makeup in the morning. My skin feels moisturized, but not oily or heavy." —MarPrice: $13 Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream puts the *hydro* in hydration. This award-winning, fragrance-free, lightweight "water cream" — made with hyaluronic acid, jojoba, and squalane — refreshes and cools thirsty skin while locking in moisture to encourage supple, plump, and soft skin. For twice-daily use on your face and neck, it's formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines while also being super gentle. Promising review: "This cream absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed without any greasiness. Great for daily use, especially under makeup. The hyaluronic acid provides lasting moisture. Would recommend for normal to dry skin types!" —Amandatwilight"This product has been effective for me, especially since I have oily skin. I apply every morning and it doesn't get greasy by noon like the other moisturizer. I haven't experienced any new cystic acne or breakouts, which is a plus. I'll continue using it at night also since it absorbs easily." —LongPrice: $19.99 Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Moisturizer works the late shift to promote surface skin cell turnover and regeneration so you can rise and shine to a face that feels AND looks smoother, firmer, and brighter. With extra ingredients of niacinamide and amino peptides, the face cream aims to address dark spots, pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and moisture retention. While Target reviewers have left over 2,400 reviews totaling 4.5 stars, some reviewers have noted the moisturizer can create pilling if applied too generously or an uncomfortable sensation when applied on eyelids — so know that a little goes a long way, and you should avoid your also important to remember that because this cream contains retinol, your skin may take some time to get used to it before you can use it daily. That means patch testing and using it every other day first. Because retinol can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, you'll also want to put on SPF in the morning (which you may already be doing anyway!).Promising review: "Leaves my skin feeling supple and hydrated and somehow when I wake up, I look refreshed and my skin is so calm. If I skip an application before bed, the difference is noticeable. Love this product that works better than those with higher price points and buzzy followings." —JPrice: $29.99 Up&up Oil Absorbing Sheets let you pat, pat, pat your face to remove excess oil and shine throughout the day, without leaving a powdery finish like other brands do and without ruining your makeup. They're unscented, hypoallergenic, and especially recommended for oily complexions. Promising reviews: "I have been purchasing these for years and will never be without them! They absorb oil so well without ruining makeup." —Mec"They work wonderfully, they absorb oil and leave you with a fresh looking face! No need to powder your face all day and get a cakey look by the end of the day." —TeachingKindersPrice: $4.99 (for 100 sheets) Hero Mighty Patch Duo comes to the rescue when you get a zit, and this pack contains BOTH the original version for nighttime use and an invisible, barely-there option for daytime. So if a pesky pimple is starting to form a whitehead — or you've already popped it — what feels like every day, then slap on one of these hydrocolloid patches and watch it absorb your gunk in 6–8 hours. Derm-tested and suitable for sensitive skin, the patch also stops you from picking and popping (and when I say "you," I mean "me" because I use these on my face AND my back as soon as I see a whitehead starting to form). Just clean and dry the pimple area before patching it up. Then peel it off when the patch turns white. Some reviewers noted that they had to use a few consecutive patches on one pimple to keep the healing and gunk-sucking going but that it still worked wonders by the end of it, especially compared to similar products from other well-known brands. Keep in mind that these don't address cysts or blackheads or the big bumpy zits that are still underground, so you'll need something else to manage reviews: "Love love love love! I don't have a ton of acne, but when I get a pimple they are deep, and painful, and can be ugly. I put one of these on each night when they start to form a head and it seriously pulls out all the bacteria (and whatever else is in there). They've helped reduce the number of days my pesky pimples stick around. Must have!" —aliiiiiiiii"These were amazing for my daughter. She had a zit and nothing was working, and it was getting noticeably worse. We tried band aids, neosporin, toothpaste, nothing - nothing worked. These also were the perfect size for her to wear to school and be marginaly noticeable. Would absolutely buy these again." —Allie FPrice: $6.99 (for a 12 count; also available in a 36 count)If you know you only want The Original, those are available in a 24- and 72- count. Packs of only the Invisible are available in a 24- and 72- count as well as mini ones in a 30 count. The brand also offers patches specifically for your chin, forehead, nose, surface, and more. Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick creates a friction-free glide anywhere on your body that chafing happens —between your legs, your toes, along your arm, and beyond! If you chafe when you run or when you're wearing shorts or skirts, apply this to your thighs to help you move on with your day pain- and irritation free. The award-winning (and derm- and gyno-approved) stick is also filled with ingredients including pomegranate extract, ginger root, vitamin E, and grapeseed oil, so your skin can stay hydrated and protected while feeling comfy. Promising review: "I've been using this on a daily basis for a few years now. I had fully stopped wearing dresses prior to trying it because of inner thigh chafing. I can't believe how well it works and how long-lasting a single application is. Even through the muggiest days on the beach in the Caribbean or extensive walking in D.C. summers, my thighs stay chafe-free! Not having friction between my thighs has also improved my skin there- way fewer issues with ingrown hairs and uneven skin tone. I also use it along the front band line of sports bras if I'm going to be wearing one for several hours." —DisappointedPromising review: "This stick? Literal magic. I used to dread the chafe struggle, but not anymore. Megababe glides on smoother than any of the competitors, no sticky mess, and keeps my thighs happy all day. No heat rash, no irritation, just soft comfort. As a plus-size girl, I'm telling you: this is a game changer. Sundress season? Bring it on." —BathorybearPrice: $13.99 (also available in .81 oz) Eos Shea Better 24H Moisture Body Lotion soothes and protects skin for — you guessed it — 24 hours with seven nourishing oils and butters, including 100% natural shea butter. This Vanilla Cashmere version has notes of whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel, so you can smell sweetly delicious head to toe all day, every day. While Vanilla Cashmere is the most-reviewed scent on Target, the derm-tested 24H Moisture Body Lotion line comes in eight other scents. Some reviewers noted that Vanilla Cashmere was a little too sweet for them, so if this isn't your vibe, you've got options: fragrance-free, créme de pistachio, strawberry dream, fresh + cozy, coconut waters, pink champagne, pomegranate raspberry, and jasmine peach (which, unfortunately, isn't available at Target right now).Promising reviews: "OMG!!! This smells so good. I use it everyday and it is very effective for irritated, dry skin." —Makayla"The smell is amazing but it's also a great moisturizer! I LOVE this lotion. It has a perfect balance to be very hydrating but not greasy at all. If I wait about five minutes after application I don't have to put on socks to keep my floors from getting coated by my lotion feet." —Boba FettPrice: $9.99 CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is for those who want a more basic, no-frills body lotion — and it even works on your face. For normal to dry skin, this fragrance-free, oil-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer helps restore the skin's protective barrier with three essential ceramides and retain moisture with hyaluronic acid. And the brand's patented delivery system continually releases moisturizing ingredients for 24 hours, which means all-day hydration. Promising reviews: "I am a habitual hand washer. Constantly dry skin, random sensitive rashes, eczema, dry patches, rough cuticles. I used to have to apply lotion after each hand washing, and the moment I stepped out of the shower. I am so glad that I can afford to buy this cream now! I can use this one to two times a day and not feel like my skin is going to rip apart from dryness after washing! It is absolute bliss! It works amazingly well." —Emily"I know a lot of reviews say it's pretty basic but that is perfect for us with sensitive skin. It's not too greasy and it is a great moisturizer for your face and body. I always feel really nice after using it and like I mentioned before, it's nice to have a run of the mill, basic, lotion to use when your skin needs it that doesn't cause breakouts." —MereBearPrice: $5.99+ (available in four sizes) Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Spray helps protect your face and body (or your kid's, since it's safe for them, too!) from the sun with broad spectrum SPF 70 and the brand's Helioplex technology, which fights UVA and UVB rays. It's water-resistant, so even if you're slick from sweating or swimming (hello, summer!), you won't need to reapply it for up to 80 minutes. And when you DO re-apply it — because you definitely should — you won't need an extra set of hands to get your back thanks to the convenient spray bottle. Promising review: "We go to SoCal water parks and beaches constantly. Any time we go somewhere like this, we are taking this particular sunscreen. It's easy to spray on two squirmy kids and most importantly it lasts between the sand and surf. I go through a dozen cans over the summer. It's simply the best. And it doesn't irritate my contacts, which is my eternal struggle." —SoCalPrice: $9.89The Beach Defense sunscreen also comes in lotion form, if you prefer slathering that all over yourself instead. Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 — infused with natural ingredients such as avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice, and sunflower oil — protects you from the sun with skin tone in mind. Made for and by women of color, many reviewers say this doesn't leave a white cast and that it's part of their daily routine, with one reviewer saying it's universal for all skin tones and types. No more walking around looking like a ghost in the sun. However, some have noted it may not be ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, though others have noted it's lightweight and doesn't irritate sensitive skin or cause breakouts. As always with new skincare, patch test, especially if using it on your reviews: "Love the formula of the product. It makes it so much easier for me not to forgo my use of daily sunscreen now that I'm 50 y/o. I'm actually forever sold on the product. A little pricey for me; but I'm at the age where you got to spend a lil more for quality products." —KatI have had a troubled history with sunscreens. Of all of the ones that I've tried, they either leave a white cast, sensitize my skin, dry me out, or make me itchy. This is the only one that I've used that feels nice on my skin, gives me a nice glow on no-makeup days, and wears well under makeup. As someone with combo-normal skin, it can make me feel greasy sometimes, especially in really hot weather. Personally, I would proceed with caution if you have really oily skin, especially if you live in a hot environment. Aside from that, I quite enjoy it, and have used it faithfully for the past several years. I may try others in the future, but this is my staple for the time being." —Allyg90Price: $15.99 Carmex Weather Guard Lip Balm with SPF 30 is enriched with cocoa butter to moisturize and protect your yapper against wind and UVA and UVB rays while being water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. That means more time swimming, sweating, and soaking up the sun and less time spent reapplying your lip balm. Some reviewers have noted that they're not huge fans of the taste, but it comes as a two-pack, so if you're looking for budget protection, it might be worth the review: "This is the only lip balm I've found that actually cures the dryness so that I don't have to use it constantly. And it's one of the few that doesn't have mint or menthol which are irritating for me. I wear it under lipstick every day and love that it has sunscreen." —CarriePrice: $4.99 Essie On A Roll Apricot Cuticle Oil makes cuticle care less boring and tedious and more fruity and easy. Hydrate and condition your nail beds and cuticles so you can have a quick salon-level manicure on the go, whenever when you want, while smelling like a juicy apricot. Promising review: "I have had weak nails which have been further damaged by an aggressive nail tech and medications. My nails were so weak and damaged that they couldn't grow past the bed and were frequently splitting vertically which was painful. I've used just two products to repair them, a nail bonding repair serum and this Essie nail oil. This doesn't just moisturize your cuticles, it also sets the foundation for healthier and stronger nails. I love how portable it is. I can sneak in an application on a quick break at work. It soaks in quickly. They aren't perfect, but they look healthy and I can actually do manicures now. I will keep getting this product." —Tableless in MNPrice: $14.99 Duke Cannon Bloody Knuckles Hand Repair Balm provides deep hydration to cracked and chapped skin. It's made out of lanolin — wax from sheep wool, which might sound gross, but stay with me — to moisturize your hands (or feet) without a greasy residue. While it's designed for ~the working man~ I, a woman, have used it nightly before bed without the worry of it sticking to my sheets. Promising reviews: "Being a massage therapist for 23 years my hands are always rough and cracked because of the amount of handwashing I do, this is hands-down, the best hand lotion I have ever ever ever tried. But get the tube, because then you don't have to dig into the tub of it…. Then when people want to borrow it they aren't digging their dirty little hands in your lotion. Also works very well on feet and cracked heels." —AMLT"I am OBSESSED with this stuff. I'm a woman but use this exclusively as my hand cream. Love that it's unscented and not greasy at all! It soaks right up and my hands are never dry afterwards. I keep a big jar of it in my nightstand and recently bought this travel size for my purse. I recommend it to everyone!" —RachelPrice: $6.99 Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a multitasking MVP for everyday needs — including (but not limited to) dry hands, chapped lips, ashy elbows, scraggly looking cuticles, cracked heels, blistering and irritated skin, taming eyebrows, and even minor cuts and burns. I've used it after day one of a new tattoo in addition to most of the other reasons on this list. Name a daily problem, and this water-free, fragrance-free, derm-recommended, clinically proven ointment just might fix it. Promising reviews: "I always keep at least 2 tubes of aquaphor in the house because it helps with dryness and it doesn't have the smell of straight up petroleum jelly. It is also less sticky and I find that it absorbs easier. I use it on my lips before bed and always wake up with nice moisturized lips - minus the gross smell of petroleum jelly. A must have!" —Erica7"I have used this for over 30 years and have never been disappointed. Aquaphor is amazing and will heal super fast. I use it on cuts, burns, chapped lips, sunburn, you name it. I always have a tube of this on hand." —NHPrice: $6.29While the above is a 1.75-ounce squeeze bottle, the ointment comes in various other sizes and packaging, including a jar in 2.8 and 14 ounces, an on-the-go version, and a lip balm with SPF 30 and without SPF. Scotch Porter Beard Wash isn't just for facial hair — it's for the skin underneath, too! Vegan and free of harmful ingredients, with natural ingredients like burdock root, nettle leaf, and aloe vera, the wash cleans, strengthens, and hydrates your beard, mustache, what have you, while preventing the skin underneath from being dry and itchy. Wash out the smell of that burrito you had earlier AND moisturize at the same time. Promising review: "Other beard wash products left my beard dry and my skin under my beard was almost always itchy. I've been using this brand for months, and I no longer have that problem. Since using this wash, my beard is easier to comb and feels softer. Don't need much of it to get a good lather. Every few days, I use this company's conditioner too. Both products have a nice, clean, masculine scent." —Azure37Price: $11.99 Every Man Jack Sandalwood Beard Oil helps soften and nourish facial hair and the skin below it, thanks to argan and borage oils, shea oil, and vitamin E. The brand says you'll "smell like fresh cut lumber" aka sandalwood, vetiver, and amber, if that's your thing — though not in an overwhelming way like other beard oils, according to some reviewers. Some also say their beard stays shiny without looking too oily. Time for kisses (it's partner-approved), chin-rubbing-level pondering, or generally tamed and not-itchy facial hair. Just rub it into your face fur and comb through. Promising reviews: "Great beard oil. Smells very good and stopped my beard itchiness. Most beard oils don't have shea butter and argan oil. Second purchase of this great product. It has high quality ingredients and is vegan at a great price. Tried other beard oils but the scents have been too strong. Plus it lasts a long time—roughly six months with daily use—and is very high quality for a reasonable price." —Jl"Saw this at Target and thought my husband would like it since he has a long and thick beard. His beard was getting a little rough so I thought this might help soften it. He's been using it for a month now and OMG. The smell is addicting and his beard is softer than before. I would literally buy this for him again just so that I can selfishly smell it on him everyday." —happywifePrice: $9.99
