The second (and final) day of Prime Big Deal Days is almost over. During the 48-hour sale, Prime members will receive discounts on hair care, skin care and more beauty. You can also find deals on sneakers, tech, kitchen and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day beauty deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.

Best Prime Day beauty deals
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
4.6-star average rating from 45,682 reviews on Amazon
Laneige makes some of our favorite lip products, including its lip balm and this lip mask. The expert-recommended lip mask uses oils, butters and antioxidants to moisturize, protect and nourish your lips overnight. “This leaves my lips feeling soft and smooth overnight,” says NBC Select updated editor Mili Godio. “It’s great for the wintertime since my lips get extremely chapped in the cold weather — this mask soothes any dry patches and irritation by morning.”
Grace & Stella Restoring Under Eye Masks (48 count)
4.3-star average rating from 761 reviews on Amazon
Grace & Stella’s retinol-infused under-eye masks are some of our favorite under-eye patches for smoothing out fine lines and brightening the under-eye area. In our experience, these overnight masks are a relaxing addition to both our bedtime and on the go routines.
Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 Water Flosser
4.3-star average rating from 62,750 reviews on Amazon
This ADA-accepted water flosser uses water pressure and pulsations to remove plaque while also maintaining and improving gum health, according to the brand. The portable device comes with four tips, three pressure settings and travel equipment so you can take your flosser on the go. The brand also recently released a water flosser and electric toothbrush combination, which is on sale now.
La Roche-Posay Toleraine Skin Care Set
4.6-star average rating from 34,547 reviews on Amazon
This cleanser and moisturizer duo hydrates your skin and removes any grime and oil from the day. NBC Select associate updates editor Zoe Malin uses the cream every morning because she loves how it’s lightweight, moisturizing, absorbs quickly and combats her skin care concerns, including dry, flakey skin. Both the cleanser and moisturizer are free of common irritants and are noncomedogenic, so that they won’t clog your pores.
Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
4.6-star average rating from 71,461 reviews on Amazon
This expert-recommended lightweight essence works for all skin types. It uses snail mucin to add moisture to the skin and address fine lines without being sticky or heavy. “This is one of my hands-down holy grail skin care products,” says NBC Select associate SEO reporter Ashley Morris. “It helps to smooth out the texture on my face, makes my skin feel softer and more hydrated after using, and soothes and prevents irritation.” (Ed’s note: This product dropped to its Prime Day price for one day in late July, but because it’s 60% off and one of our favorite products, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.)
Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects
4.6-star average rating from 89,017 reviews on Amazon
This at-home teeth whitening kit, which has the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance, gently removes new and old stains using hydrogen peroxide, an enamel-safe ingredient. The strips can reduce stains in just two weeks, according to the brand. The pack comes with 18 treatments. (Ed’s note: This product cost $.91 less for one day in late August, but because it’s 50% off and one of our favorite products, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.)

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
4.2-star average rating from 1,478 reviews on Amazon
This moisturizer is an NBC Select staff favorite for dry skin because it’s thick and creamy without feeling heavy or greasy. I love using it when I wear makeup because it doubles as a primer and has a smoothing effect that minimizes fine lines.

Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL

4.8-star average rating from 371 reviews at Sephora
Lowest price ever
Belif, the brand behind the NBC Select staff-favorite The True Cream Aqua Bomb, recently released this eye cream, and it’s now the only one I reach for in the morning.

“Not only do I find these to be the most effective pimple patches I’ve tried, but they’re discreet enough that it barely looks like I have one on,” says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez. These NBC Select Wellness Award-winning pimple patches use hydrocolloid gel to reduce the appearance of your breakouts and absorb any excess oil and dirt from your pimples, according to the brand.

L’Occitane Cleansing Shower Oil
4.6-star average rating from 3,016reviews on Amazon

4.7-star average rating from 7,142 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Now is the perfect time to stock up on hand sanitizers — each Touchland spray can remove over 99% of germs and instead of drying out your hands, they moisturize them. I use this on a daily basis because I love how they smell and appreciate the ease of use and portability. They’re small so they can easily fit in pockets, backpacks, totes and more.
Cetaphil Body Moisturizing Cream
4.8-star average rating from 24,741 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Cetaphil earned the top spot on our list of 100 best moisturizers because its thick, rich consistency is suitable for all skin types and helps combat common concerns including dryness, rough patches and broken skin, according to NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz. This lotion is free of common irritants, including fragrance, and is noncomedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, according to the brand.

The kit comes with the razor, blade refills and a shower holder.
October Prime Day hair care deals
Dyson Airwrap
4.2-star average rating from 1,478 reviews on Amazon
One of my favorite hot tools is the Dyson Airwrap because it’s versatile and prevents excessive heat damage. Its six attachments allow it to act as a curling iron, flat iron, hair dryer and blow dryer brush, all in one. It has three airflow speeds, three heat settings and a cool shot button, according to the brand. (Ed’s note: This product costs $20 less for one day in late September, but because it’s rarely on sale and comes recommended by our experts and staff, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.)
Nécessaire Rosemary Hair Duo
4.6-star average rating from 287 reviews on Amazon
This gentle shampoo and conditioner set has rosemary oil, plant proteins and ceramides to strengthen hair, minimize damage and protect the scalp barrier, according to the brand. Reviewers say their scalp and hair feel healthier, with more hair growth and shine, less flaking and no itching.

4.3-star average rating from 2,064 reviews on Amazon

After, I blow dry my hair, the cream makes my hair feel softer and look sleek.

Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler Large Brush
4.6-star average rating from 2,889 reviews on Amazon
These expert-recommended hair brushes are great for removing knots and detangling both wet and dry hair.

They’re not too big and come in multiple colors, so they are a great gift or stocking stuffer.
R+Co Dart Pomade Stick
4.4-star average rating from 1,338 reviews on Amazon
When making slick updos, this pomade stick is my favorite product to use. Its combination of castor seed oil, candelilla wax and jojoba esters helps control, define and tame hair, according to the brand. Right before I finish putting my hair in a ponytail or bun, I’ll run this stick through my hair and immediately see all the flyaways go down for a sleek and polished look. It doesn’t feel hard, look greasy or leave a white residue on my dark brown hair.
