Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best editor-approved beauty deals

Amazon Prime Day 2026 is second only to Black Friday for the best beauty savings on skincare, make-up, haircare and luxury tools. The sale begins in October (specifically, on the 6th and 7th), meaning that the peak time to pick up a CeraVe SPF or a Medicube serum at a discount is rapidly approaching.

Amazon discounts all the biggest brands in the annual sale – think Shark, ghd, and Mighty Patch, along with Maybelline, St Tropez and Color Wow. Yep, this is a big deal. You’re going to want to mark your calendar ahead of this one.

A chance for Prime members to stock up your bathroom cabinet ahead of a new, challenging winter, everything from deep moisturisers and frizz-fighting hair products is discounted. I’ve already spotted the Dyson supersonic hair dryer on sale, plus mega savings on my favourite Maybelline mascara and the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm.

In terms of my Amazon Prime Day credentials, let me reassure you of this: I know my stuff. I’m a shopping expert, with almost a decade of Prime Days, Black Fridays, Christmases, etc up my exceptionally-tailored sleeve.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from October 6 to October 7.

If you’re not already signed up, now’s the time to sign up and make sure you don’t miss the biggest bargains. A 30-day free trial should be enough to get you through the sale and unlock all the usual perks along the way. That includes access to the discounts, next-day delivery, and Prime Video (you can cancel at any point if you don’t want it to roll on).

Prime Day is Amazon’s exclusive shopping event for Prime members, with an offer of limited-time deals and tailored deals from major brands.

Adding volume, oomph and texture to tired hair, this Living Proof perfect day dry shampoo refreshes and brightens strands in-between wash days. Quick and easy to apply, you’re out the door in seconds – simply spray, blend with your fingers and give your hair a quick brush to smooth out. With notes of fresh citrus, the scent is lovely and lingers throughout the day. You don’t need much either, which helps justify the price – but it’s now been treated to a tasty discount.

This is one Medicube product you’ve almost certainly seen all over TikTok. The zero pore pads have sold out multiple times, and it’s not hard to see the appeal. These toner pads offer gentle exfoliation thanks to AHA and BHA, helping to lift away dead skin cells and clear excess sebum. At the same time, ingredients like panthenol, allantoin and sodium hyaluronate work to soothe and hydrate, leaving skin feeling smoother and looking more refined.

St Tropez’s express mousse is among my favourite fake tans for a natural, sun-kissed glow. You can leave it on for anywhere between an hour and up to six hours, depending on your desired shade. The sweet point is three hours, where you’re left with a natural-looking tan as if you’ve just hopped off the plane from actual St Tropez. With a big discount, now’s the time to bronze up for the heatwave.

La Roche Posay’s hardworking formula is among my favourite year-round, everyday SPF’s. It is water-, sweat- and sand-resistant, making it just as ideal for summer holidays. The finish is non-greasy, and it offers a subtle skin-blur and dewy finish. While it’s not as pigmented as a foundation, the tint does help to even out the skin tone and mask spots or blemishes.

Melting away makeup and nourishing skin at the end of a long day, the original Elemis cleansing balm is loved by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson. But the premium buy doesn’t come cheap – so don’t sleep on this saving on the cherry cleanser. It’s the same formula we know and love, but with an almond and vanilla scent.

I’ve been using Kerstase’s hair oil for years – and one bottle of the good stuff lasts you a good year, too. Discounted in Amazon’s Prime Day sale, the formula softens locks and gives strands a silky smooth look. With prolonged use, the oil strengthens and protects against breakage. Infused with argan and camellia oil, the formula works as a heat protectant ahead of styling, too.

Shark’s cryglow LED face mask is a cherished part of my nightly regimen. With four treatment modes – including blemish repair and anti-ageing – the cooling, depuffing eye function is also excellent. You can see instantly lifted results, but skin is clearer, brighter and smoother after prolonged use, too. Now, you can benefit from a small saving thanks to Amazon.

Marc Jacobs’ Daisy eau de toilette is a cult classic for good reason. With bright, floral and fruity notes, it’s the perfect light, garden-fresh summer scent. With a 23 per cent discount, it’s even sweeter.

Stay protected during the heatwave with Garnier’s ambre solaire sun cream SPF 50+, now discounted by 36 per cent for the Prime Day deal. Offering high UVA and UVB protection with a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, it’s ideal for family holidays and everyday use.

Mascara is a desert-island make-up product for most, myself included. But it’s rare to find a good formula that doesn’t cost a fortune. Enter: Maybelline’s TikTok viral sky high mascara. Already affordable at £12, it’s now been discounted ahead of Prime Day.

In my experience, these are the only spot patches that actually work, and I’ve tried my fair share over the years. Applying one of these blemish busters before going to bed means spots are reduced in size and redness by morning. The hydrocolloid patch works to improve the look of spots overnight by absorbing the gunk. Each sticker is strong enough to stay on for up to 12 hours and is designed to be mostly invisible if you do want to wear one in the day.

Garnier’s micellar water needs little introduction. The beloved drugstore formula removes makeup and SPF while gently cleansing your face at the end of a long day. My bathroom cabinet is never without a bottle of the good stuff.

Color Wow’s dreamcoat spray is my secret to frizz-free locks. Professional hair stylists rave about it, too – and now you can save 30 per cent in Amazon’s sale. Designed to be spritzed through wet hair before heat styling, the formula protects against humidity and breakage.

CeraVe’s blemish control face cleanser enjoys a cult following. Formulated with 2 per cent salicylic acid, niacinamide and essential ceramides, the clay-based, gel-to-foam helps clear up breakouts and absorb excess oil.
