This A-list–approved Marine Cream is (shockingly) less than $100

Luxury skincare just got a lot more affordable thanks to a secret Amazon deal that drops this cult-favorite cream below the three-digit mark.

If you’ve ever hovered over the “add to cart” button on the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 and hesitated at the price, now is the moment to act, because this celebrity-loved, beauty editor-tested (oh, hi!) moisturizer is finally ringing in at less than $100.

For a brand that regularly graces vanities belonging to A-listers — Bethenny Frankel, included — and beauty insiders alike, a markdown like this feels almost unheard of. Elemis has built its reputation on spa-grade formulas that deliver visible results, and this particular cream has become one of its most iconic products for good reason — and once you start, you won’t go back.

Its celeb-approved formula centers around Padina Pavonica, a Mediterranean marine algae known for its ability to support hydration and improve the look of skin elasticity. It’s paired with chlorella, a green microalga rich in antioxidants, which helps defend against environmental stressors that can accelerate visible aging.

To top it off, Ginkgo biloba adds another layer of antioxidant protection, while a blend of humectants like glycerin works to draw moisture into the skin. The result? A gorgeous complexion that looks smoother, fresher, and more luminous with continued use.

Of course, this version has built-in broad-spectrum SPF 30. Sunscreen is non-negotiable (trust me, I’ve passionately spoke with a panel of dermatologists on this very topic) and having it seamlessly incorporated into a high-performance anti-aging moisturizer streamlines your routine without compromising on protection.

The sunscreen filters help shield against UVA and UVB rays, which are responsible for premature fine lines, dark spots and loss of firmness. Instead of layering multiple heavy products, this cream offers hydration and daily defense in one silky step.

Oh, and texture is where this formula really shines. It has that signature gel-cream consistency that feels lightweight going on but deeply nourishing once absorbed. It melts into the skin without leaving behind a greasy film or chalky residue, which can sometimes happen with SPF-infused moisturizers. Makeup layers beautifully on top, and throughout the day, skin maintains a subtle, healthy-looking glow rather than tipping into shine.

You truly can’t beat a good moisturizer, and that’s something I’ve learned after putting my formulas on a strict rotation for half a decade. I’ve tested thick balms, whipped creams, water gels and everything in between, always searching for that perfect balance of hydration, protection and wearability.

The standout products are the ones that make your skin feel instantly comforted but also deliver long-term benefits you can see in the mirror. This cream fits squarely into that category. It reinforces the skin barrier, smooths the look of fine lines, and simplifies your morning lineup in a way that feels both efficient and indulgent.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to upgrade your morning moisturizer, this is it.
