Right now, Amazon’s a beauty playground — and I’m just here for it.
Not to be dramatic, but the Amazon Summer Beauty Event is the epitome of sunny weather and good times. Pick up a good SPF on sale, some glow-ridden bronzing drops and you have yourself a lit-from-within look that’ll beat a goddess.
On April 29, the retailer is unveiling its skincare soiree savings-fest: up to 35% off top skincare labels including Sunday Riley, Estée Lauder and more. FYI, some deals are even greater than 35% off — and I found some hidden gems for you below.
Though the event spans multiple days, today is where you’ll score the very best of skincare on sale during the Summer Beauty Event. Pfft, with everything going on with tariffs, you’ll want to stock up before prices es-cal-ate.
Ahead, I pulled together the deals worth your hard-earned cash. Coming from someone who tests beauty products for a living, consider this a love letter to a friend. That’s you, the Post Wanted-reading BFF.
Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C +Turmeric Face Oil
AmazonOne of the most-anticipated deals during the Amazon Summer Beauty Event is the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil. It’s a lightweight, antioxidant-rich oil designed to brighten and hydrate the skin. It combines THD Ascorbate (a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C) with golden turmeric extract to enhance radiance and even out skin tone.
Additionally, it’s infused with cold-pressed evening primrose and red raspberry seed oils, it nourishes and supports the skin’s barrier without feeling greasy. It’s one of my favorite serums to include in my skincare routine for an extra luxe experience.
Olay Super Serum
AmazonA super serum at a super price. The Olay Super Serum is a multi-functional skincare product designed to address five key skin concerns: improved texture, even tone, firmness, smoothness and hydration. Its formulation includes active ingredients such as niacinamide, lactic acid, collagen peptides, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid (seriously, name a better ingredient mix) which all work synergistically to enhance the skin’s appearance and health. It’s truly phenomenal, so the value size is excellent to grab on sale.
EltaMD Skincare UV Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen
AmazonAfter testing dozens of face sunscreens for more than four years, I can attest that EltaMD is a brand you should buy, especially if you have sensitive skin. Its UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is a lightweight, mineral sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, making it great for most people. Its formula includes 15% transparent zinc oxide and 10% octocrylene, providing water- and sweat-resistant coverage for up to 80 minutes.
To top if off, it’s enhanced with antioxidants like tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable form of vitamin C), hyaluronic acid and squalane, so it’ll hydrates and soothe the skin without leaving a white cast.

AmazonThe Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser is a gentle gel-to-foam cleanser formulated for normal to oily, sensitive skin. It effectively removes dirt, excess oils, and makeup without stripping the skin’s natural moisture, thanks to its blend of niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (vitamin B5) and glycerin. It helps reduce pore size, too, and is a fan-favorite for most people because of its fragrance-free formulation. Now, it’s $10 for the Amazon Beauty Event.

AmazonThe Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ has been one I’ve been using for years, and one that my dry, sensitive skin drinks up. It’s a dermatologist-developed moisturizer that aims to provide 8-hour hydration and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. Its formula includes pure urea and glycerin, which help attract and retain moisture, while pro-lipids support the skin’s natural barrier function. It’s now $40 for the Summer Beauty Event — and I’m sending this deal in every group chat.
goop Beauty 72-Hour Supercharged Hydrating Water-Cream
AmazonA deal that’s too good, I’d practically gate-keep it (but I’m not). The goop Beauty 72-Hour Supercharged Hydrating Water-Cream is a lightweight moisturizer that boasts a lovely satin-matte finish. Its formulation includes natural moisturizing factors such as sugar beets and adzuki bean sprouts, along with fermented astragalus root, niacinamide and noni fruit extract, to support the skin’s moisture barrier, brighten and refine pores.

It’s said to provide intensive overnight hydration and improve skin elasticity with its gel-to-film formula that contains key ingredients like collagen extract, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramide NP; these work together to plump, brighten and strengthen the skin barrier.
How it works? Apply the mask before bedtime, allow it to dry into a thin, peel-able layer and remove it in the morning to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. I’m sold.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Serum Sunscreen SPF 60
AmazonAfter loads of sunscreen testing, I can assure you that Neutrogena is sensitive skin-friendly and a household name for a reason. Its Ultra Sheer Face Serum Sunscreen SPF 60 is on one of the largest discounts during the Amazon Summer Beauty Event, clad with broad-spectrum protection and an anti-aging kick in its formulation that’ll both smooth and protect.
philosophy Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsion Lotion
AmazonPSA: philosophy never left the building. I remember scrambling into Sephora stores to try to grab the brand’s holiday sets and dreamy body lotions every chance I got, but now, the brand is on sale — and I can order straight from my Amazon account. How great is that?
The Amazing Grace Firming Body Emulsion that will surely hydrate and firm dry or aging skin, thanks to its infusion of shea butter, macadamia oil and olive oil. This mix allows the body lotion to nourish the skin while providing a subtle, long-lasting fragrance of bergamot, muguet blossoms and musk. Don’t worry, though, the scent is refined and still great for sensitive skin.
