When it comes to unwanted hair, the most common removal methods — waxing, shaving and plucking — are just temporary solutions. It seems like a big deal to go all-in on a more permanent fix, so most of us just keep on keepin' on with our usual (exhausting, never-ending) routine. But people are increasingly waking up to the benefits of intense pulse light (IPL), a hair-removal treatment you can do at home to leave skin smooth and hair-free long-term. A popular IPL tool — the Innza Laser Hair Removal Device — is on major markdown at Amazon right now. Normally $89, it's down to $63 ahead of October Prime Day.
Listen, it's not the cutest packaging we've ever seen, but reviewers say it's the formula inside that really counts.
"I've tried a lot of eye creams," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "And, for my money, CeraVe makes the best drugstore depuffing/under-eye brightening treatment currently on the market. Not only does it feel good on your skin (absorbs quickly, no gross pilling), it's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Olivia Wilde loves it, along with thousands of reviewers, who say it's like Botox in a cream. I'm not sure about that claim, but I do know this is a quality skin care staple at a price everyone can afford."
At over 40% off, it's within a dollar of its best price all year.
In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin never crossed your mind, take it from thousands of Amazon shoppers — it's effective! This serum has amassed a cult-like following thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots after using. Good skin care can cost a bundle these days, so to find such a highly-rated product on sale for just $14 is a win in our book.
We spotted Michelle Pfeiffer wearing a black turtleneck nearly identical to this one, which is currently on sale for one of its best prices yet (50% off). This classic piece will be perfect for layering under your fall jackets and, when the time comes, your winter puffer.
Illuminating, priming and affordable: Getting Martha Stewart's glow is as easy as adding this little wonder to your cart.
The high-rise waist of these super-soft leggings has a wide elastic band for built-in tummy control. Wear them for workouts, errands or just lounging.
If you'd like fuller-looking tresses, choosing hair products formulated with biotin can help strengthen thinning hair and even promote growth. This duo contains powerhouse ingredients like camellia extract for shine and caffeine and niacinamide to improve blood circulation. This is close to the lowest price we've ever seen.
These No. 1 bestsellers can be used to quickly remove fine hairs, shape eyebrows, and even help exfoliate your skin. Each is equipped with micro-guards to help prevent nicks.
This top-seller has everything you need to target unwanted hair and keep it away, including a powerful IPA hair removal tool, sunglasses to protect your eyes and a razor for spot treatments. The zapper uses IPL technology to blast hairs into oblivion with a 600-nanometer wavelength. It gets to work breaking the cycle of hair growth and killing the follicle that makes new hair. It's not immediate, but you should see smoother skin within 12 weeks.
"This device works!" said one reviewer who's built a steady hair-removal routine. "I have been using it consistently for about two months now, and already, my bikini area is no longer growing back, and my underarms and legs are exhibiting extremely slow and sparse growth. A month or two longer of consistent use, and I believe I will have achieved professional results."
Currently, this laser hair remover is a mere $63 — that's over $25 off. We love a good discount. When you consider how pricey professional treatments can be (hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars), it's a total steal.
In case you're not familiar with them, IPL hair removers use strong pulses of light to target hair. When that light is absorbed, it heats up and destroys the hair, along with the cells that make new hair growth, lowering the odds they'll return. Research has found that IPL can remove up to 78% of targeted hair. You can have IPL done at a salon, but it's much, much more expensive. An at-home machine like the Innza will save you a fortune.
With its 600-nanometer wavelength, this gadget breaks the cycle of hair growth and kills the follicles that make new hair. You should see smoother skin within 12 weeks.
Innza's hair remover offers nine energy levels to help you tailor your treatment to the area of skin you're working on. It's operated by a touchscreen (easy peasy). Another perk? It can help cool your skin while it works, so you don't feel overheated.
An impressive 1,500-plus Amazon reviewers have given the Innza Laser Hair Removal Device a very smooth five stars, with many highlighting the tool's ease of use, value, and painless removal of hair.
"I was skeptical at first. I didn't think it was going to work," said one five-star fan, "but I've been doing it once a week for about two months now, and the bikini line doesn't grow hair anymore."
Another happy customer called it "amazing." They added, "I can't believe this actually worked! I'm a really hairy woman who had to shave almost daily, but after six sessions (one per week), I just need to shave once a week. ... I barely have hair growth."
Users swear Innza's IPL hair remover helps blast unwanted hairs into oblivion. "I've been using it for about 10 weeks now. I'm down to one to two times a week, and so far the hair is staying away," reported a satisfied shopper.
One more shopper testimonial that we just had to share: "This machine is life."
If you have very sensitive skin, shoppers note that you may experience some discomfort or slight pain initially (though many reviewers say they felt no pain, so take that as you will!). This user shared, "It doesn't hurt on my armpit area, but it does hurt on the bikini line, though it is bearable. The pain is just a pinch every time you hit the bottom of the bikini line, and I have a very bad pain tolerance so maybe this is why ... but like I said, it's bearable."
While this final shopper noted that they "saw results in my facial hair after only two weeks of using it twice a week ... the regrowth was completely gone by four weeks," they did add one critique. "My only suggestion would be an adapter with a smaller opening for the harder areas to reach on the face. Very impressive product!"
Psst: Amazon shoppers also love these mini razors for spot-treating unwanted facial fluff:
