Over the last four years, spotting all the best Amazon Prime Day beauty deals has become my secret talent. As someone who tests makeup, skincare, haircare and perfume for a living, I know the actual value of most products like the back of my hand – which means that I can tell the difference between underwhelming discounts and the offers that are genuinely worth considering.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably well aware that courtesy of Amazon’s annual two-day October sales event – Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, if you will – you can shop everything from science-backed Medik8 face serums and Elemis moisturisers to powerhouse GHD hair tools at a reduced price today. That’s right, having commenced today on October 8th, the big sales event will only continue until tomorrow night, offering up a great opportunity to stock up on all of your beauty must-haves for a reduced price.
To help you avoid spending hours on end scrolling through the retailer’s homepage, I’ve curated an edit of all the best beauty deals worth shopping. Having also consulted with other editors on the GLAMOUR team, I’ve made sure to include all of our team’s all-time favourites, as well as the products that have made it to our personal Amazon wishlists. From reduced K-beauty must-haves to discounted viral makeup buys, I think it’s safe to say that this year’s October Prime Day is nothing short of impressive. Here’s everything you need to know.

Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days skincare deals
As far as our favourites, Medik8 serums are always worth the investment, especially at a discounted price. Take the C-Tetra vitamin C serum, for one. This brightening formula is a must for all skin types.
The below four skincare products are known for their viral status on #BeautyTok, and trust us when we tell you that they’re well worth the hype. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is formulated with peptides and hyaluronic acid, ensuring a balanced moisture barrier and glowy skin.
And if you’re on the lookout for a multipurpose skincare oil, you can’t go wrong with Bio-Oil, which has been proven not only to help with retaining moisture but also improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days supplement deals
Stocking up on beauty supplements can be expensive, but thankfully, that’s where Amazon Prime Big Deal Days comes in clutch. Normally worth over £50, the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides powder is currently over 30% off – perfect for providing support for your hair, skin and nails at a much more appealing price point. And don’t forget the viral Free Soul Greens supplement, which can help provide your daily fill of nutrients one scoop at a time.
Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days SPF deals
There’s no denying that a face SPF is your skin’s best friend. Whether you’re after a more affordable sunscreen for face or a premium SPF lotion, we’ve got you covered with buys from several bestselling brands. Our top choices? The Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 and the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 sun creams, both of which are perfect for keeping your skin safe and protected all year long.
Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days retinol deals
Retinol is that not-so-secret skincare ingredient that’s known as one of the most effective actives. If you’re after a quality retinol serum, Medik8 Crystal Retinal is a superior choice which is often recommended by board-certified dermatologists across our guides. Elsewhere, the best-selling Murad Resurgence Retinol Renewal Serum manages to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles like a dream, all the while promoting fast cell turnover and evening out your skin tone. Olay Retinol24 night cream is another great GLAMOUR-approved budget option.
As far as vitamin C serums go, Elizabeth Arden capsulated formula is one of the most effective options on the market when it comes to brightening and hydrating your skin.
If moisture-stripping cleansers aren’t your thing, you’ll love the Sensitive Cleansing Facial Wash from Elemis. Made specifically for sensitive skin, this formula purifies and nourishes your complexion in one go. Otherwise, if you’re on the lookout for an fool-proof everyday face wash, make sure to bookmark the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, which is suitable for all skin types.
In need of a fresh batch of pimple patches? Say no more. I’m very picky when it comes to this product category, and having tried more than a couple dozen of variations, I can confidently say that Dots for Spots are some of the most effective (not to mention, affordable) pimple patches on the market. They always sell like hot cakes on Prime Day.
As a K-beauty fanatic, I can attest that the viral COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is truly one of the best skincare products I own. Sure, the slime-y texture might put you off, but wait until you see the glow and the radiance that this essence delivers immediately after applying.
Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days skincare devices deals
Having used my trusty Foreo cleansing device for the past four years now, I still can’t find anything that will top the way it manages to clean my skin. The Luna Mini 2 comes in a compact size and works perfectly when paired with a hydrating face wash. A must.
A facial steamer is the skincare device you didn’t know you needed. Designed to help unclog your pores, this innovative gadget is a must for your Sunday skincare reset routine.
Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days haircare deals
This Kerastase hair oil has made its rounds on TikTok and has been repeatedly hailed as the best hair oil of all time. Featuring a nourishing yet non-greasy consistency, this recently-improved and repackaged formula will revive your locks like no other. To me, my shampoo and conditioner choice doesn’t really matter – as long as I’ve got this product in tow.
If you’re a haircare product to boost hair growth, rosemary oil is the hero ingredient you should be making a beeline for. Need proof? One 2015 study comparing rosemary oil to minoxidil (a popular active ingredient in topical hair regrowth treatments) found that after six months, both groups had similar results with a significant increase in hair growth. The Nature Spell rosemary oil for hair growth is known as one of most effective formulas around, combining a blend of nourishing almond, rosemary and sunflower oils.
This all-rounder haircare product has repeatedly made rounds on #BeautyTok for a reason. Endorsed by Chris Appleton (AKA Kim K’s hair stylist), the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray delivers all the shine and hydration without weighing down your hair.
The Pureology Hydrate Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner Set is a must for all hair types. Why? It’s one of the most hydrating and nourishing formulas we’ve tested on our road to find the best shampoo, formulated with jojoba, green tea and sage and a silicone-free ingredients list.
