Get the beauty sleep of the stars with Jane Fonda's fave: L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Midnight Serum. (Getty)
It's no secret that celebrities have access to anti-aging treatments that we regular folks just, well, don't. Every once in a while, though, a star-backed drugstore product comes around that's actually in our price range. Take, for example, this rec from the ageless and ethereal Jane Fonda. The actress uses the L'Oréal Paris Age-Perfect Midnight Serum as part of her nightly routine. When a woman of Jane's stature reveals a beauty secret, we can't help but sit up and take notice and, in this case, it's not just the 87-year-old giving high praise: thousands of reviewers on Amazon love the stuff too. But wait, it gets better. Right now you can get this serum for $24 — nearly 50% off for Amazon Prime Day.
Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts, which feature an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. They're made from a soft cotton blend (the black, navy and light gray options are 100% cotton!), and reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises. They've rarely dipped lower than this all year.
The best travel outfits are the ones that feel like pajamas but make us look put together, and this casual-chic tee and pants duo fits the bill. The pants have a drawstring waist that you can adjust to your comfort level, and the wide-leg design and cropped length help keep things airy on muggy days. With this markdown, you can grab select colors for just $24 — an all-time low.
Thick pants just won't cut it on those particularly humid days, but these trousers are made of a lightweight cotton-linen blend, making them airy and comfortable. You'll get a custom fit via the adjustable drawstring waist, and, maybe best of all, they have pockets. These No. 1 bestsellers are down to the lowest price I've seen.
Sunscreen is important year-round, but especially now, when we're spending more time outside and with more skin exposed. This one made it onto our list of the best SPFs for your face, and it's even approved by medical pros.
"This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a New York City-based dermatologist. Plus, it's formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue and will cost you just seven bucks (over 45% off — mere cents more than its lowest price this year).
Thin, crepey skin sneaks up on us the older we get, and this cream — which I happen to be a fan of — was formulated to target just that. It's enriched with antioxidants, botanical ingredients and omega-fatty acids to help replenish skin's moisture for a firmer, plumper appearance. In a study conducted by the brand, 82% of participants said they noticed visible results on their arms and hands in two days. I have to say, it performs like a cream at least triple its price, so pick up a bottle while it'll set you back just $10.
Say cheese! Your journey to brighter teeth just got a lot easier, thanks to this whitening kit. All you do is apply the gel to your teeth via the pen for 30-60 minutes a day, and after five days, you should see a difference (as much as 10 shades whiter). You'll get about 30 treatments out of this pack, and at 60% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen it marked down to. Now that's something to smile about.
When you think of under-eye skin care that's actually effective, are you also envisioning large dollar signs? According to Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, it doesn't cost a lot to give that area a glow-up. "If you're looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you," she says. "RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated ... It's excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it's dermatologist-recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat."
Speaking of price, this is about as low as we've seen it in months.
Your morning hair routine is about to get a lot easier, thanks to this multitasking tool. It dries and styles all at the same time, meaning you won't have to juggle a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other; use it to give yourself a sleek, smooth blowout or wavy curls. At just $40 (70% off), it's far more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap.
Why not swap the painful (and tedious) string floss for this oral-hygiene hero, which gently yet effectively uses a stream of water to dislodge anything trapped between your teeth. It was designed to be compact enough to travel with (it's cordless!), and this is as low as we've seen it since October. Plus, it includes four tips so the whole family can use it.
When 86-year-old beauty Jane Fonda recommends a product, I pay attention: The actress recently revealed she uses this serum every night on a clean face: "It has a lot of antioxidants and good things to hydrate the skin."
The rich formula is paraben- and mineral oil-free, dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types. Plus, right now, it's 20% off.
Can we say it any more plainly? L'Oréal's serum is nearly 50% off right now. For $24, you're scoring a celeb favorite and saving yourself a not-too-shabby $20.
Aside from the super-sweet sale price, there's a whole lot to love about the serum. Here's what Fonda, a L'Oreal brand ambassador, said when chatting with Grazia Daily: "At night, after I've removed my makeup, I use L'Oréal Paris' Midnight Serum. It has a lot of antioxidants and good things to hydrate the skin and comes in recyclable glass. They're trying to use less plastic, be more sustainable and are recycling products, so I think that’s a good thing." Fonda isn't the only celeb who loves the Midnight Serum — L'Oréal brand ambassador Kate Winslet has also extolled its qualities, saying that it "makes everything dewy and delicious the next morning."
How does it work? The serum's patented vitamin E blend helps replenish antioxidant levels overnight when the skin is most receptive. It aims to smooth, firm and boost radiance without clogging pores or leaving a sticky residue.
More than 1,200 Amazon reviewers have given this serum a glowing rating, with many five-star fans raving about its anti-aging properties. And over 5,000 have been bought in the past month.
"It really works," marveled one Amazon shopper. "In the small amount of time I have been using this product, I have already seen a marked change in my face. I bought this to improve wrinkles and texture, and I am not disappointed in the results."
"Holy grail status," gushed this reviewer. A similarly thrilled mega-fan chimed in: "Have tried many others and this serum works magic on my skin!"
This glowy convert reported, "If you have old tired-looking skin, get this product! This is one of the very best skin care products I've ever used!!! And it's affordable. It will brighten up your skin tone and close your pores. In two weeks you really will have younger-looking skin. It's like a little miracle in a bottle."
A final shopper shared: "After I do my facial routine before I go to bed, I use this midnight serum and have noticed the lines in my face are smaller and wrinkles diminishing! Will recommend to friends and family!"
There is room for improvement with the packaging, according to some fans. "My only complaint is the bottle doesn't let you see inside," cautioned an otherwise pleased shopper. "I didn't know the first bottle was almost empty until it was empty."
Another noted: "This product is well-priced and effective, but the dropper needs work. When you get to the bottom, it becomes difficult to get out the recommended three drops. Other than that, it is superb."
