I've found the best beauty deals in Amazon's Spring Sale
Beauty enthusiasts are in for a treat: the Amazon Spring Sale is here, which means now's the time to save on skincare, make-up, haircare and more. There are six days of the sale. Whether you've been looking for an epilator for smooth, silky skin or a high-tech hair dryer that delivers salon-worthy results in no time, now's the time to pounce. What's more, the Amazon Spring Sale is a great opportunity to stock up on all your Asian beauty favourites, with Korean make-up from Erborian, Japanese skincare from Curel and much more. Whether you're after everyday essentials like moisturisers and cleansers or want to treat yourself to the latest in beauty tech, Amazon's Spring Sale has you sorted with plenty of options. Keep an eye on this guide as I'll be updating it as more deals roll in, so you won't miss out on a single cosmetics steal. With more than five years of experience in the industry, I've seen my fair share of Amazon sales events. I'm familiar with which beauty brands offer the best annual deals and – more importantly – which ones might offer falsely inflated discounts. Like the rest of the team at IndyBest, I handpick the best beauty reductions based on our myriad reviews and ensure that every deal offers a worthwhile saving. The CeraVe hydrating cleanser is a cult favourite praised for its ability to cleanse without stripping the skin. In her round-up of the b est CeraVe products, beauty editor Lucy Partington not only dubbed it her favourite product but described it as 'universally loved' and 'a true hero of the CeraVe range.' She noted that it works to remove makeup and cleanse quickly. The mix of ceramides and hyaluronic acid leaves the skin soft and hydrated, too. Now reduced by 30 per cent, this skincare essential is a must-have for anyone looking for a gentle and hydrating start to the day. Maybelline's lash sensational sky high mascara is a viral sensation, and assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones is a huge fan. In her review, she noted: 'One coat of the mascara made an instant difference to the length of my lashes,' and highlighted its ability to provide dramatic length and lift. The formula, enriched with bamboo extract and fibres, ensures a lightweight, non-clumpy finish, while the flexible wand helps coat each lash, even in hard-to-reach areas. Ideal for both one-coat and layered voluminous finishes, this tubing mascara is a must-try, especially with nearly 40 per cent off right now. Looking for the perfect hair dryer? The Remington one dry and style hair dryer is a standout choice, earning the top spot in the best hair dryers guide. Hair aficionado Nicole Ocran praised the model for its versatility, noting its four attachments for everything from flyaway taming to curl-defining. She said, 'It has something for everyone, making it ideal for households with different hair types.' Right now, it's reduced by more than £30, making it an even better value pick. With its practical features and impressive performance, it's a great all-rounder for anyone looking to elevate their styling routine. The Philips satinelle essential epilator delivers impressive performance for its small £25 price and, in her review, beauty writer Louise Whitbread praised it for being 'slim, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, making it ideal for underarms'. With two speed settings, it offers powerful hair removal that leaves skin smooth without causing ingrown hairs. And, while it can be slightly painful at first, it's manageable with regular use. Now reduced by 26 per cent, it's a fantastic budget-friendly option for anyone looking for a long-lasting, stubble-free finish. La Roche-Posay's cicaplast B5 serum is a game-changer for irritated skin. In her review, beauty editor Lucy Partington said that it 'worked well to soothe and nourish [her] skin, ridding it of that telltale tightness.' The serum combines 10 per cent vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier without leaving a greasy finish. Lucy appreciated its lightweight texture, noting that it absorbed quickly, leaving skin nourished and comfortable. It also layers well with other products, making it a top pick for anyone with sensitive or dry skin. Right now, it's reduced by 20 per cent – an even more lucrative addition to your skincare routine, if you ask me. Ideal for oily or greasy hair, this shampoo leaves no residue, helping to eliminate build-up and provide a fresh start for your scalp. In her Color Wow review, haircare expert Ellis found that it gives you 'a blank slate" to start your haircare routine. It's sulfate-free, so it's gentle on sensitive skin, and it lathers beautifully, leaving your scalp and roots feeling thoroughly clean and refreshed. It also helps prevent colour fade on colour-treated hair for up to 30 washes. Now discounted by 29 per cent, it's a great way to refresh and maintain your hair's health. Erborian's cult BB cream took the top spot in our guide to the best BB creams, and it's easy to see why. Make-up maestro Lauren Cunningham loved its "non-cakey full coverage", calling it a great alternative to foundation. Packed with white ginseng and fermented ginseng flower, it hydrates the skin while niacinamide works to tackle blemishes and blackheads. As Lauren put it: "It's a product that conceals, but also actively benefits your skin." With long-lasting wear and impressive results, this BB cream is now available for £33.60 – down 30 per cent courtesy of Amazon. Elemis' pro-collagen gel eye masks offer a refreshing boost of hydration while tackling fine lines and wrinkles. They feature a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid, chlorella, and padina pavonica to nourish and promote collagen production. In her guide to the best eye patches, our reviewer Helen said 'After use, our tired skin looked and felt as if it had gained welcome moisture.' The patches sit comfortably under the eyes, stay in place without sliding and leave no excess product behind. A six-pack of individually wrapped masks makes them a convenient option for hydration on the go and they're currently reduced, making now an even better time to try them. I was impressed by Cosrx's snail mucin essence in my review of the best Korean skincare products. It sounds a little gross, but my tests found that the snail mucin was incredibly soothing. The texture is smooth and slippery – a little goes a long way – and it left my skin feeling youthful and bouncy. It also works as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin and minimise fine lines. Now, with more than half off, it's a must-have for spring-summer hydration. In her guide to the best anti-ageing day creams, Sabine – a mature skin expert – found Elizabeth Arden's retinol + HPR ceramide water cream to be ideal for daytime use. She noted how she was 'surprised to see real results after just seven days, with [her] skin feeling smoother and looking brighter.' This advanced formula combines the power of HPR, a gentler yet highly effective retinoid, with peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and bisabolol (a soothing ingredient from chamomile). The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and hydrated. With nearly half off, it's the perfect opportunity to experience its transformative effects for yourself - just remember to combine it with SPF for the best results. The Bioré aqua rich sunscreen is a standout choice for anyone who dislikes heavy sunscreens or struggles with acne. In her guide to the best face SPFs, skincare expert Lauren praised its ultra-light texture, saying: 'It feels like water on the skin, absorbing instantly without any sticky or greasy residue.' Part of popular Japanese beauty brand Bioré, it combines hyaluronic acid and glycerin to provide hydration without clogging pores. Plus, with a fresh citrus scent and quick absorption, it sits perfectly under makeup, too. Now reduced by 33 per cent, this Japanese gem is an excellent choice for anyone seeking lightweight, effective sun protection. Ghd's unplugged straighteners offer professional results wherever you go. In her review, assistant IndyBest editor Sarah explained: "The convenience of a cordless straightener without sacrificing performance is a game-changer." Launched in 2021, this sleek, portable styler boasts the same dual-zone heater technology found in other Ghd tools, ensuring a consistent styling temperature of 185C. Whether you're straightening or curling, it delivers flawless results, and with a 20-minute battery life, it's perfect for quick styling sessions. Plus, with USB-C charging, you can easily power up from your laptop or car – making it the ultimate travel companion. Kérastase's elixir ultime hair oil has earned a devoted following, and for good reason. In fact, beauty writer Lauren found that this is the best hair oil on the market in her guide to the best hair oils. Packed with hair-loving ingredients like amla extract, camellia, and argan oil, it strengthens hair, promotes growth, and helps prevent premature greying. The oil also provides heat protection up to 230C, smooths frizz, seals split ends and enhances shine. Perfect for both damp hair as a primer or dry hair for a finishing touch, the elixir ultime is reduced by 28 per cent right now (was £58, now £41.62, with the refill offering an even better deal at 30 per cent off. What is the Amazon Spring Sale beauty event?

I've found the CeraVe deals worth buying, from cleansers to moisturisers
If you're someone with sensitive, dry or acne-prone skin, chances are you've spent a fortune on skincare, testing out dozens of products while trying to find one that suits you. If you're yet to try CeraVe, allow me to encourage you to give it a go. Founded with the help of dermatologists in 2005, and with a core focus on skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin, all of which are exacerbated by a compromised skin barrier, the brand focuses on re-building the basics. Included in the gentle yet effective formulas is a blend of three essential ceramides that are slowly released into the skin. Plus, each range is tailored to a specific skin type, making it incredibly easy to know which products to pick up. Effective formulas and easy-to-understand packaging aside, the key pull of CeraVe products is probably the price point, with almost every item, from cleaners to moisturisers, costing less than £15. Helping your money stretch even further, I've sourced all the best deals on the CeraVe range available right now, including on expert favourites. The best CeraVe deals In The Independent 's guide to the best CeraVe products to buy, this hydrating cleanser came out on top. 'It doesn't ever strip or dry skin out, instead, it's formulated with a blend of ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help make sure that the skin retains its much-needed moisture,' said beauty editor Lucy Partington. Adding: 'Trust us – once you try it, you'll never go back'. So, a small yet handy saving of 20 per cent is sure to make it even more tempting. Claimed to have a firming, brightening effect on the skin around the eyes, while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, we put CeraVe's budget-friendly eye cream to the test. In our review, five testers were tasked with trying the formula to see how it fared. 'My 40-year-old skin lacks hydration, so I stick to products that help counteract this and I was instantly impressed by how intensely smoothing and moisturising the balm-like eye cream is', said beauty writer Helen Wilson-Beevers, who found that it gave 'a temporary and subtle plumped-up feeling'. She also noted its 'silky-soft finish' that 'doesn't leave any lingering greasiness'. If you're a retinol newbie, I would recommend CeraVe's resurfacing retinol serum – especially now, as it's reduced by 20 per cent. The formula features key ingredients encapsulated retinol, niacinamide, ceramides and liquorice root extract, and works to target post-acne marks and pores. Upon testing the product over time for my review, I noticed 'subtle signs of post-acne marks beginning to fade' after around two weeks of use, while some of the marks all but disappeared after a month of use. A product everyone seems to be talking about online is the CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser, which is formulated with oily, spot-prone skin types in mind. When beauty editor Lucy Partington put it to the test, she explained that the cleanser is 'loaded with salicylic acid, making it great for summer months when keratosis pilaris (also known as chicken skin) is in full swing, 'and it also helps reduce blemishes and breakouts on the body – particularly on the back'. Hailed by Lucy as gentle and effective, it's 20 per cent off with this deal. This lotion was named best for 'normal' skin in my moisturisers with SPF guide, scoring almost a perfect five stars. 'Including SPF 50 for stronger protection, the lightweight cream houses three ceramides, niacinamide and vitamin E to hydrate and heal, while shielding from the sun,' I noted. 'It instantly absorbs into the skin for long-lasting moisture that's neither sticky nor shiny.' Seeing it on sale should only make it more tempting to try. Very few of us like to spend a lot of money on a face wash – it does, after all, only get washed away. So, seeing this CeraVe option reduced to less than £10 seems like quite the steal. Specifically designed for blemish-prone skin, it includes 2 per cent salicylic acid, which helps to control oil production and dissolve the build-up of dead skin cells, oil and dirt. Another favourite in the CeraVe review, Lucy wrote: 'Unlike other similar cleansers designed for blemish-prone skin, this one doesn't dry out skin or strip it of moisture'. She added: 'Paired with the moisturiser, which can be used all over the skin or as a targeted treatment, this duo really does help reduce the size and redness in a couple of days'. If you're someone with dry to very dry skin, moisturiser may be one of your favourite beauty products, so snapping one up for less than £14 is sure to be quite tempting. This 454g pot contains the three essential ceramides the brand is famous for, along with hyaluronic acid to hydrate cells deep within the skin as well. It's said to be rich without being greasy, so it seems like it would work for both day and night, too. Plus, it was rated four and a half stars out of five by our beauty buff tester, who shared: 'CeraVe's moisturising cream is truly the gift that keeps on giving,' in their guide to the brand's best bits to buy. This CeraVe blemish control gel moisturiser was dubbed the best non-drying spot treatment in beauty expert Louise Whitbread 's guide. 'It's a clear, lightweight texture that's designed to be dabbed onto targeted areas but can also be used all over the face without leaving your skin dry or greasy,' she noted. 'Unlike other spot treatments that dry out the area and leave you with flaky skin that's impossible to apply make-up on top of, this dries down clear, feels weightless and is suitable for sensitive skin types.' So, with a saving of 20 per cent, it's definitely worth stocking up. Taking the top spot in my guide to the best foot creams, this beauty product is a firm favourite. 'Glycerin hydrates; niacinamide works to help heal the skin barrier; salicylic acid sloughs away dead skin cells; and a blend of three essential ceramides defends against dryness and irritation,' I explained. 'After one use, we were instantly impressed, and when using it every day for one week, our feet felt and looked incredibly healthy.' With a saving of 20 per cent, now may be the best time to try it for yourself.

The Ordinary's retinal is the 'most affordable and effective', according to a beauty editor
From high-tech LED face masks to the most hyped luxury brands, skincare can come with a hefty price tag. So, when a brand like The Ordinary offers affordable products that can get the job done, they earn a spot on beauty editors' watch-lists. Indeed, from its retinol to its retinal offerings, you won't find The Ordinary leaning into superfluous bells and whistles. That means no fragrance, no elaborate packaging, and instead, a roster of solid, no-frills formulas that we can always count on when our disposable income is looking, well, not so disposable. One such product that is firmly on our radar, is The Ordinary's retinal 0.2% emulsion (£15.20, Pocket-sized and potent, this little serum has the power to firm and fill lack-lustre skin thanks to its vitamin A-derived formula. The difference between retinol and retinal lies in the fact the latter is further along the vitamin A cycle, so it works faster on fine lines, boosting cell turnover and all its other anti-ageing benefits. Keep reading for everything you need to know about The Ordinary's formula, plus our tried and tested review. With similar products from competitors – think Medik8, Kate Somerville and K-beauty brand Naturium – costing around £50, The Ordinary offers a more affordable, and, in some cases, more effective formula. The Ordinary's retinal 0.2% features skin-protecting oats to combat the potential irritation that can go hand-in-hand with vitamin A formulas, especially given this retinal's quick-working nature. Take it from beauty editor Lucy Partington who reviewed the product for our review of the best retinol creams and found it 'the most affordable and effective retinal formula'. She enjoyed both the addition of calming oats for any dryness or inflammation and said that it is 'suitable for all skin types'. Plus, boosting the product's value for money even more, she added that 'only a pea-sized amount is needed a couple of times a week', meaning this tube should 'last you a few months'. If you've been considering adding vitamin A to your nightly skincare, this retinal is the way to go. We'd recommend introducing it into your routine gradually, increasing and decreasing use at your skin's pace to minimise any reactions.
