If you've been on social media lately, to a drugstore or a dermatologist's office, you've probably seen a few products from CeraVe. The brand is known for gentle ingredients and budget-friendly prices, like those of its Eye Repair Cream. Formulated to reduce dryness, this star product also helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, all while being fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic. Right now, you can snag a tube for just $12, down from $20. That's a 40% discount on high-quality, derm-approved skin care. If your tired eyes are in need of a lift, now's the time to drop it into your cart.
"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 feeling self-conscious about stubble (or just hate to wax and shave) this at-home laser-hair-removal device just might be for you and now's the time to pick it up: For Labor Day, it's marked down a whopping 70%: from $200 to just $60.
"This gadget brought my confidence back," shared one five-star reviewer. "I've been using this product for five weeks now, and I cannot believe the amazing results. After having my five children, I experienced hair growth on my chin, and when I pluck them, they will leave dark spots and marks ... I started using this product and within a month, the hair growth stopped. I wish I'd found this product years ago. It is easy to use and it is very convenient."
"Though it also works as a heat protectant, Dream Coat's claim to fame is as a potent anti-frizz treatment that, when used correctly, penetrates the cuticle layer of the hair, creating a long-lasting smoothing effect," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini in her full Color Wow Dream Coat review. "The formula is meant to act as a kind of glossy shield over each of your hair's strands, rendering them essentially humidity-proof."
Products from this up-and-coming line rarely go on sale, which is why I was surprised to see my current favorite shampoo marked down a cool 50%. The brand, which is known for its ultra-high-quality hair-care products at non-ridiculous prices, is a favorite of social media influencers and professional hair stylists alike.
In fact, my stylist uses this bonding formula instead of Olaplex for damaged hair, and I use it once a week because it truly strengthens and even thickens my thin, fragile strands.
Crest Whitestrips rarely drop in price unless it's a big sales event, so even a slight savings is worth it. Brighter smile, here you come.
"They actually work, y'all!" exclaimed one shopper. "I can hardly believe my own eyes! I'm sold! I just saved $250 for professional teeth bleaching."
If your lashes have become fine and thin due to aging or hormonal changes, it's worth checking out this wildly popular serum, which has been a favorite of aestheticians and makeup artists since it appeared on the scene in 2008.
Since then, both Grandelash (and Grandebrow) have become the go-to for those looking for reliable, efficient, affordable hair-growth solutions. It has racked up more than 35,000 five-star reviews, all along the lines of "This product works GREAT for me — and FAST!!!" and simply "Wow!!!!"
Even if you've never thought of yourself as a "lipstick person," the ultra-popular, '90s-chic (and Drew Barrymore fave) Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey will probably change your mind. The creamy, universally flattering formula is made from a blend of blue, red and yellow pigments, so it works for any skin tone. It's also particularly good for drier, more mature lips since it glides on like a balm and has none of the waxy feel of some lipsticks, and it won't settle into fine lines.
The shade looks dark in the tube, but once on, it works like a customized tint, lightly staining lips a natural-looking berry hue that's just a hint or two above bare. As the name suggests, Almost Lipstick makes you look pulled together but not too "done." Black Honey is a beloved everyday lip color and a near-perfect product, except for one thing: the price. This 50%-off Labor Day deal makes it an irresistible buy.
CeraVe is one of those tried-and-true gems and, at $12, 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. This is the lowest price we've seen for it since Prime Day — an excellent reason to stock up. It's even on Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jenn Romolini's list of best eye creams, 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," 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."
The formula’s got some anti-aging heavy hitters, including ceramides to restore, hyaluronic acid to hydrate and niacinamide to calm and brighten. We also love that it's ophthalmologist-tested, non-greasy and fast-absorbing.
Shoppers swear their eyes look brighter and younger after using this product. Over 43,000 reviewers have given it a healthy five-star rating — and over 50,000 were bought in just the past month!
One super-satisfied reviewer called it "Botox in a tube" while a once-frazzled shopper 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 (and are) completely gone after one week. I'm telling everyone about this miracle cream. ... I look five years younger now!"
"I’m so impressed with the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream! I’ve been struggling with puffiness and bags under my eyes for a while, and this product has made a noticeable difference. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any greasy residue, which I love," gushed a final de-puffed fan. "My under-eye area looks brighter, smoother, and less swollen. I’ve been using it consistently for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in puffiness and dark circles."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers had 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 fast-ish if you use it twice a day like me," revealed this user. "But I do think it is reasonable for its price."
