When it comes to skin care, some people say simpler is better. You don't need flashy labels or pretty glass bottles — you need stuff that works. That's why Olivia Wilde has made CeraVe one of her go-to drugstore beauty products, and she's not the only fan. Widely celebrated by dermatologists, beauty editors and skin-care enthusiasts, one of its fan-favorite products is the No. 1 bestselling CeraVe eye repair cream. It's formulated to reduce dryness, the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. It's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic. Right now, you can get all of that for just $14, down from $20 at Amazon.
"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.
If you're looking for denim that's designed for all shapes and sizes, these affordable Amandas definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're classic high-rises that sit at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
These No. 1 bestsellers start at a wild $20, so grab a few pairs for fall and winter — they'd look fab with some stylish boots.
Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini swears by this frizz-reducing bestseller.
"Every once in a while a popular internet-famous product comes along that I think will never in 100 years work and then am pleasantly surprised (OK, more like shocked) when it does," she admits. "Such was the case with this strange little tube of the TikTok-famous collagen and protein hair mask from Elizavecca.
It's a repairing treatment that's meant to render even the driest, most straw-like hair into silky strands. You work it into your hair after shampooing and, after 5–15 minutes, the before-and-after is seriously profound: my thin, dry, longtime dyed-blonde mane was bouncy, soft and smooth as a satin sheet and, best of all, didn't feel weighed down. Though it does make your hair slightly greasier than normal, the conditioning impact is worth it — my results lasted for weeks."
While not the largest discount, you can't argue with paying just seven bucks for a tube!

Another product Romolini's become a fan of? This popular eye-area tightener.
"I've been loving this extra-firming eye cream from Derma E, a truly quality brand that makes natural, vegan and cruelty-free products that won't cost you a week's pay," she says. "Made of skin-revitalizing ingredients like copper peptides and plant stem cells, it's clinically proven to improve elasticity, firmness and lighten a darker under-eye skin tone. I especially like it for my upper eyelids, where I've seen a noticeable difference in improved texture over just a few weeks."
This isn't the lowest it's ever been, but at over 40% off, it's still a deal worth considering.

CeraVe is one of those tried-and-true gems, and at $14, you can help turn back the hands of time without having to fork over hundreds for costly in-office treatments or intensive facials and peels. It's even on our list of best eye creams of 2024, so you know it's good!
When celebrities like Olivia Wilde rave about a beauty brand, we're all ears. "I use the cheapest possible skin care — not because it's cheap, but because it's the best," Olivia Wilde has said. "Dermatologists have recommended it for years and I've never paid attention. But recently I started using Cetaphil cleanser and CeraVe moisturizer. They're gentle and simple."
This eye treatment is no exception to the brand's popularity. One formerly puffy-eyed fan said: "I swear this stuff has taken five years off my face. ... It's absolute magic!"
We're not sure if there's magic involved, but don't overlook the ingredients: Three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide work together to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. We also love what it doesn't contain: The eye cream is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores.
Shoppers swear their eyes look brighter and younger after using this product. Exactly 42,000 reviewers have given it a five-star rating.
One shopper came to it via an ophthalmologist: "This eye cream was recommended to me by my eye doctor because I have very sensitive skin around my eyes that burns and peels. I have tried all the expensive department store brands and nothing helped. CeraVe was a miracle! It is very soothing and moisturizing. Makes the skin under my eyes smooth and supple again."
A second reviewer called it "Botox in a cream." Another reported: "This is the greatest product ever! I have such dark circles from stress, work and lack of sleep. After using this cream, as directed for five days, the dark circles started fading in a few days. Completely gone after one week. I'm telling everyone about this miracle cream. This worked so well. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this. I look five years younger now!"
"I've been cursed with dark circles that look like I have black eyes," said another grateful shopper. "The doctors tell me it is because of very thin skin and can't be helped, but I like CeraVe products and gave this cream a try ... It is moisturizing but, amazingly, I have noticed a difference in the very dark circles I have. I am very surprised to say that I actually do see improvement. I'll never be free of them, but this cream is well worth it to me. It's certainly worth trying. You might be as pleasantly surprised as I am."
Some shoppers have a few tips. One reviewer warned: "If you have sensitive skin or eyes, it will irritate and burn a little."
"The bottle is kind of small so it might run out fastish if you use it twice a day like me," revealed this user. "But I do think it is reasonable for its price." This shopper agreed that size matters: "It’s moisturizing, no scent, easy to blend out evenly. The only complaint is, it's a small package so it will be used fast."
