If you haven't heard of Bio-Oil, this go-to restorative elixir has long been an affordable secret for many beauty enthusiasts. Used to diminish the look of scars and stretch marks or give their skin an extra dose of hydration, this drugstore find is even a fave among the A-list — reality royalty like the Kardashians (especially Kim) and actual royalty like Kate Middleton say it keeps their skin stretch-mark-free. And celebs aged 50+ like Kristin Chenoweth have been relying on it for decades to give their skin a healthy glow. Now you can try this elixir yourself at a sweet $11 at Amazon.
This warm, lightweight fleece is the versatile garment you'll be reaching for all winter: Use it as an extra layer under your puffer coat or pair it with some leggings on milder days when you take the dog out for a walk. Not too bulky, it's soft, stylish and boasts features like zippered side pockets, a collared neck and an adjustable drawstring hem. We haven't seen it on sale for less in months, and we don't expect it to dip in price anytime soon.
"I absolutely love this full-zip jacket," raved a shopper. "It's incredibly soft and warm, making it perfect for chilly weather. The fit is just right — not too tight but not too loose — and it's super comfortable to wear all day. I also love the stylish design and how versatile it is. Whether I’m running errands or going for a walk, it's the perfect layer to throw on. The quality is top-notch, and I can tell it will last for years."
Three words to describe this pair? Stretchy, comfy and cushiony. Plus, the breathable upper fabric prevents feet from overheating, and adjustable laces mean a secure fit. They're the quintessential everyday sneaker, thanks to their sock-like feel.
Zaydenberg likes these for people with metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot) and bunion deformities, thanks to their wider toe box. While prices vary by size and color, you can get these kicks for as little as $48.
"I just got these for my new running shoes," shared an Adidas fan. "They are perfect! I didn't even need to break them in. No pain anywhere because they provide support where needed. I also love that they have a bit of a wider and flexible toe box. This allows for my toes to naturally grip when running."
Since we lose moisture and elasticity as we age, the humectant hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that binds to water, is key to any quality anti-aging skin care regimen. It can hold a whopping 1,000 times its weight in water.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better hyaluronic acid serum than this award-winning version from Grace & Stella, especially while it's 50% off.
'Tis the season for sniffles and sneezes, and if you need to check a loved one's temperature, this No. 1 bestseller makes it a cinch.

True to its name, it's a great option for fussy babies and kids, but can be used on adults too. At over 45% off, this is the best price we've seen it on sale for aside from Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
"Our school used these during the Covid pandemic," shared a buyer. "We use it not only for ourselves, but we have a two-year-old grandson who can be a handful when trying to take his temperature. This works great with him. Very simple, quick and accurate."
Skin feeling a bit parched thanks to the dry winter air? This No. 1 bestselling steamer is here to save the day. Think of it as your personal, in-home facial device: It essentially acts as a humidifier by releasing nano-ionic steam to help with hydration, and comes with tools for removing blackheads and unclogging pores once your vaporizing session is complete. It can also be used as a towel warmer — the ultimate luxury — and at over 40% off, it's down to as low as it's been all year.
"Sinus miracle worker and pore-opener," raved a shopper. "I love this steamer! Straight out of the box, it is very easy to use. ... The steamer heats up very quickly and emits efficiently, which has helped my sinus issues greatly. I will also use it before I apply my facial mask. I like the versatility of the steamer, with its different settings for face steamer, towel steamer and humidifier. The product seems to be of good quality and durable."
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, and you can even use it in the shower to save time. Plus, this is as low as I've seen it since last October.
Underwire bras don't have to be uncomfortable — take it from the thousands of reviewers who adore this one.

There are myriad uses for this wildly well-reviewed, internet-famous skin care oil, but I like it best for treating the body, not the face. It's amazing on calves and thighs as an after-shave oil and as an emollient for cracked heels and dry elbows. It's too oily (for me) for my face or as a scalp treatment, but a little goes a long way to tame flyaways. Also, if it's good enough for future queen Kate Middleton, surely it's good enough for peasants like me.
Ready to bring home a big bottle? You're in luck — the 6.7-ounce size is also on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
The celeb-loved oil has more than 39,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, with shoppers raving about its many uses. And when a sale happens, we shout it from the rooftops. If you want to reinvent your skin routine, Bio-Oil is a good place to start. We rarely see it priced much lower, so if you'd like to look red-carpet-ready, this is the time to pounce!
Bio-Oil's popularity stems largely from the fact that it works. It includes vitamin A, vitamin E, chamomile, sunflower and lavender oils, all of which combine to stimulate collagen production and create greater skin elasticity (read: diminished wrinkles). More collagen can also help reduce the look of scars, stretch marks and dark patches.
All of those oils also provide some serious hydration — another way to reduce dark marks, scars and stretch marks. The formula won't clog your pores, so people with oily, dry or combination skin can use Bio-Oil without worry. For those with fresh scars, say from a C-section (or stretch marks from pregnancy itself), Bio-Oil can help with itchiness as it smooths out the skin.
Kristin Chenoweth told Prevention that she uses it around her eyes and on her laugh lines. "I want people to know about it. I love Bio-Oil,” she said. "If you're consistent, it's huge."
Kim Kardashian agrees with Chenoweth. "It just makes my skin glow, and it has so many benefits," Kim has said. "If you have a scar or stretch marks, you just massage the oil onto the area two times a day." She said the formula was a "lifesaver" and she would "apply it like crazy" during her pregnancies.
If you'd like a less starry take on the product, our reviewer here at Yahoo Life tried it for herself — and dubbed Bio-Oil "worth the hype."
We'll let some of Bio-Oil's other biggest fans tell you how amazing this stuff is too.
A particularly eloquent user called the oil a "symphony of hydration and nourishment," adding, "What truly sets Bio-Oil apart is its effectiveness in tackling scars and stretch marks. Over time, I've witnessed these imperfections fade away, replaced by a smoother, more even-toned canvas. ... Its nongreasy texture is a cherry on top, making it perfect for everyday use."
"I'm 52 years old, and I've been using this for a few years now, every time I shower/bathe," said a mega-fan. "I love my skin since I started using it. My skin is dramatically more toned, no wings on my arms. I even use this on my face! Jawline is back! Fine lines are less noticeable. No more rough skin. I'm a fan! I'd give it 10 stars if I could. A bottle lasts me 6-8 weeks. It doesn't take a lot to cover the skin. It's a dry oil, but you need to work it in well. A little goes a long way. I exfoliate regularly too, with natural fiber mitts. I love this stuff!"
Older reviewers also extolled the virtues of using Bio-Oil on mature skin. "I have used it for years and, at 78, my skin looks very beautiful," shared one. "I get compliments all the time. Bio-Oil reduces skin discoloration and moisturizes beautifully. I highly recommend it for all women over 60."
Though many users loved the oil's fresh scent, some didn't take to it quite as much: "Only downside is I don't love the scent, but it's not super strong," wrote one customer. However, they still gave Bio-Oil a five-star rating, noting, "I didn’t get many stretch marks during pregnancy while using this oil!"
Another reviewer echoed their sentiment. "I don't like the smell but it's a good product."
