Smile with your eyes! (Getty Images)(Getty Images)
Ready to perk up your tired eyes? When they're the first thing people see, we want them to look well-rested (even when we aren't well-rested!). Puffy under-eyes and dark circles make us look exhausted, but the right skin-care product can liven things up. That's where the Velamo Advanced Retinol Eye Stick comes in. Shoppers in their 50s and 60s say they're amazed by how much brighter their eyes look after a few applications, and the price is down to $15 (from $20) at Amazon — but it's a lightning deal, so add it to your cart, stat!
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."
If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that's almost one shade per day!).
According to the brand, you're guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you'll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. This sale drops the price to about as low as I've seen it in years. Now that's something to say "cheese!" about.

We know retinol can do wonders when it comes to minimizing face aging, but did you know it can be used all over? This highly rated body cream is formulated with vitamin A (retinol), along with nourishing and hydrating ingredients like ferulic acid, shea butter, vitamin E and green tea to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, sun damage and the crepe-like properties skin takes on as we age. We rarely see it dip lower than its current price unless it's Black Friday or Prime Day, and since it's a lightning deal, you'll want to scoop it up for over 30% off while you can.
"I'm 62 years old," wrote a convert. "This is the first lotion that only needs to be applied once a day to address crepey skin, especially at my knees. ... It addresses dark spots fairly quickly, better then imagined. ... I'm not sensitive to smells, but I find that the fragrance dissipates after absorption, so even if you don't like it, you [do] not have to live with it. I will be purchasing this product again."
Resolving to get more steps in for the new year? This highly rated treadmill makes it a breeze, since it can go right under your desk to keep you active while you work. It's also ideal for walking while watching TV (or for getting some movement in when the weather outside is frightful), and at 50% off, this is close to as low as we've ever seen it marked down to.
"Slim, does the job!" wrote a shopper. "I opened and used it right away. I used it in front of my TV and got lost in time and was walking for almost two hours! Everyone needs to get one and exercise while doing mindless TV watching."
Why pay Dyson prices when this versatile tool works just as well?
"It contains seven moisturizers, including shea and cocoa butters, to help keep skin hydrated," our own reviewer said. "I'm pretty sure it's because of this that I woke up after the first application with zero redness or itching. But even better? My skin felt noticeably more moisturized and smoother just eight hours after I'd slathered it on, and stayed that way the rest of the day."
Reviewers in their 50s and 60s "stick it" to dark circles and fine lines with this product.
"I absolutely love this product," said one repeat buyer. "My eye area is dry, and as I've aged, I have gotten wrinkles and dark circles. This eye cream has worked miracles. My eyes are brighter and the dark circles have lightened. It feels amazing as soon as you apply, giving my eye area lots of moisture. I have tried several eye creams over the years, and this one is by far one of the best."
Inexpensive but high-quality skin care is hard to come by, but this stick has over 5,000 five-star ratings to back it up. When you compare it to luxury brands or professional treatments — which can cost thousands — it's not just a deal, it's a steal. We rarely see it drop lower than its current price, but you'll want to grab it quickly, as this limited-time deal is sure to sell out.
Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient when it comes to a wide range of skin concerns. Not only can it help unclog pores and exfoliate, but it's effective at increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, which equals plumper, firmer-looking skin. This small yet mighty stick packs a punch in terms of eye-boosting power: In addition to retinol, it contains a power peptide complex, squalane and astaxanthin to preserve that delicate skin's moisture, firm up under-eye bags, brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness and even help smooth out fine lines. We're lookin' at you, crow's feet!
One caveat: While this product was designed to be safe for sensitive skin, introducing retinol into your routine too quickly can cause irritation. To start, the brand recommends applying it every two or three nights, and then upping it to nightly after two to four weeks. And we do mean nightly, as retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. (Which reminds us: Use sunscreen during the day — we have some excellent, dermatologist-recommended finds, as well as other fan-favorite SPF products.)
More than 5,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Velamo Advanced Retinol Eye Stick a five-star rating, with many lauding its usefulness in eliminating dark under-eye circles.
"I absolutely love this product," said one repeat buyer. "My eye area is dry, and as I've aged, I have gotten wrinkles and dark circles. This eye cream has worked miracles. My eyes are brighter and the dark circles have lightened. It feels amazing as soon as you apply, giving my eye area lots of moisture. I have tried several eye creams over the years and this one is by far one of the best."
This five-star reviewer wrote: "I was so glad to find a product that really hydrates my 50-year-old eye area so that concealer doesn't settle into the cracks. Plus, this product is a fabulous treatment for fine lines around my lips. I now always keep a tube on my nightstand for a pre-sleep application!"
"I didn't have much faith, but to my surprise, this product works great," admitted one former skeptic. "My pigment spots have faded to the point where I don't need [foundation]. They are not gone, but so light that I can go without it ... This stuff has a wonderful slip to it, making my skin feel soft and moisturized. The best part is that I have had no blemishes. I live in Florida and I'm in my early 60s ... I have had my share of sun damage, but thanks to this product I'm seeing much improvement in my skin."
Users with oily or combination skin may want to prioritize this stick in their overnight beauty routine: "Since my skin tends to be somewhat oily, I will only use this unscented stick applicator at night, as it has the consistency of Vaseline," said one devotee. "For me, it would be too greasy to use under makeup."
Another reviewer added, "I wish they would be more open about how much retinol is in the product, but knowing how potent it is, it's usually in the last line of ingredients for most products."
Psst: Did you know retinol isn't just for your face? I swear by this affordable (and on-sale!) Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion, in case you want to round out your collection.
