This one happens to be at it’s lowest price in two years, according to camelcamelcamel.Considering how rare this deal is, coupled with it’s 4.2-star average from nearly 3,200 Amazon reviews, I predict this one could sell out quickly.

These cosmetically elegant sunscreens blend like a dream without leaving behind tell-tale whitecast on deeper complexions—and they start at just $9. Sign me up for a refill, stat!
Best Smelling Sunscreen

I was recently on a week-long trip to Jamaica (woo!), and everyone in my tour group begged to try this SPF. Many complimented the nostalgic scent—the aroma is so enticing that Vacation bottled it into a perfume. Genius!
Beyond the enticing scent, it’s chock-full of standout ingredients. Nourishing vitamin E, soothing aloe vera, and hydrating shea and coconut oils, and moisturizing banana extract leave my skin supple and soft.
But above all, everyone was impressed that it misted out perfectly clear. No rubbing necessary, though it helps speed up the dry time.
Apply Without a Mirror

Neutrogena’s sunscreen stick is a great product for those on the run, dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldenberg, MD, recently told me in our guide to the all-time best sunscreens.

Tinted SPF for No-Makeup Days
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with Sheer Tint

We’re big fans of the untinted OG formulation and even named it one of the best moisturizers with SPF because it’s that nourishing. We can thank ceramides for that.
The tinted version is available in three flexible shades: Light, Medium, and Deep. Plus, it’s made with mineral active ingredients, including titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
This hydrating sunscreen contains ceramides and niacinamide that nourish your skin without making it feel greasy. The mineral SPF ingredients (it contains both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) are better if you’re prone to an oily T-zone or acne compared to what you’d get from a chemical sunscreen.”It provides broad spectrum UV protection in a formula that contains ceramide to keep the skin barrier strong,” Dr. Zeichner says.

Lives Up to Social Media Hype
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Now 30% Off
The colorless, water-like texture seems unassuming, but it’s packed with a concentration of 2% salicylic acid (hence the namesake) to fight pimples and unclog pores.
My skin became noticeably smoother in between professional facials, and even my dermatologist complimented my skin because my pores appear refined.
This lightweight liquid absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave behind a sticky film on my skin, which has been an issue with other similar products that I’ve tested. I can apply it up to twice daily, but if you’re just starting out stick with once daily and work your way up.
This viral toner is compatible with all skin types and each bottle lasts me at three months, which is the equivalent of paying $0.44 to use this face exfoliator twice daily.
Retinoid Treatment
Differin Acne Treatment Gel
Now 28% Off
Adapalene, the hero ingredient in Differin gel, is safe for all skin types, including dry and sensitive. It’s a type of retinoid that’s available over the counter, so it’s not as potent as tretinonin, and that’s OK. Tretinonin can cause more side effects like dry skin.
According to dermatologist Toral Vaidya, MD, adapalene selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors in the skin.
This cream is ideal for spot treating pimples, but you can also spread it over larger areas like your chest if you’re dealing with body acne.
Daily Cleanser

Dermatologist Purvisha Patel, MD, recently told me that red light therapy helps fade dark spots, manage eczema, and even boosts hair growth.
