This year's Black Friday sales are fully stocked with celeb-favorite skincare brands. I should know; I'm a beauty editor covering anti-aging creams of all kinds beloved in Hollywood and beyond. Last week, I talked all about Jennifer Aniston's skin-care routine, which includes products by Tatcha, one of the highest quality anti-aging skincare brands I've ever tested (with beautifully giftable packaging, to boot).
According to a scene from her 2022 Netflix documentary and an interview in Allure, Meghan Markle is also a fan. Specifically, there's a scene in Harry & Meghan where the Duchess of Sussex is seen chatting up longtime makeup artist Daniel Martin while he preps her for an event. On the table in front of them is Tatcha's famous Water Cream, a product from the Japanese brand that's been beloved for so long it's reached a kind of cult status. At Amazon, it's on sale for $58, the lowest price I've ever seen.
Plenty of normally pricey beauty products are deeply discounted for Black Friday, so be sure to check out some of our other favorite Black Friday beauty deals — there truly is something for everyone.
Finding a bra that's comfortable, supportive, offers full coverage and doesn't look like it was made during colonial times is a pretty impressive feat — but we think we've done it. This Playtex wireless bra has tens of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to its cooling, moisture-wicking fabric, four-way wireless support (no painful digging!), Magic Ring construction for a natural lift and smoothing satin panels on the sides and back. With 14 lovely colors to choose from, it's a really pretty undergarment too! A good bra is a worthy investment, and $18 is practically unheard-of these days. This one doesn't go on sale for less than its current price very often, and we've seen it priced for over $20 before. (Honestly, that's still a good deal.)
"This bra says 18 hours and completely lives up to that promise," raved a happy fan. "It fits perfectly when you measure for the proper fit; it is soft, not scratchy, and does not cut into my shoulders to provide support for my large chest. I am absolutely getting more!"
Add them to your cart while you can get 'em for a steal — don't forget to redeem both on-page coupons for a rare double discount.

If you have trouble winding down before bed, perhaps this No. 1 bestselling spritz can help you relax. It contains that renowned snooze enhancer, melatonin, as well as lavender and chamomile essential oils to bring a sense of calm to your bedroom. Spray it on your pillows, around the room or even in the shower. Heck, spray some on yourself — it'll make you smell lovely! This pack comes with three bottles — on sale for $6 each — so keep two for yourself and give one as a stocking stuffer.
"I absolutely love this product!" squealed a blissful slumberer. "A light lavender scent to lull me into a great sleep. A couple of sprays and I drifted off to sleep without tossing and turning! Was meaning to only take a one-hour power nap, but it turned out to be a three-hour nap! I’m not complaining about it ... I know I will sleep good tonight! The three-bottle pack will last me quite a long time. I may just order another pack to give as gifts."

If you have sensitive gums, reviewers say this is the whitening system for you.
Many reviewers say a little Water Cream goes a long way, making the price more reasonable.
If you'd like to complement your under-eye stick with another Tatcha product, this rice polish is also a beloved favorite of celebrities and skin-care experts alike. Meghan Markle once told Allure that she loves it because "it just sort of foams on your face and gives you a really subtle exfoliation."
Every beauty editor I know uses this to cleanse their skin at night — it's especially good for those of us who are over 50.
If you're in the market for a heavier, more seriously hydrating moisturizer that won't clog pores and is excellent for all skin types, look no further than this luxurious cream. It's great for combatting winter dryness and always leaves my skin with a pretty, pearly glow.
This premium cream rarely goes on sale, but right now the price is down to the lowest we've seen it drop all year long — $58 (from $72). Now's the time to pounce if you want your skin to glow at all the holiday get-togethers. It'll even arrive in time to get it under the tree for your favorite giftee.
Listen, I get it. It might feel strange to purchase something just because some lady writing a story on the internet saw it on a famous person's beauty counter. But Markle's love for Tatcha's Water Cream is not the only reason this high-quality moisturizer is worthy of your hard-earned cash.
It's ultra-hydrating but not at all greasy. It has a silky texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue or pilling, which is a common problem with even the most expensive products. The Water Cream is a luxurious face moisturizer updated for the modern age — less thick and gloopy, more velvety and refined. It also works well to prime skin for makeup, soften fine lines and reduce the appearance of pores. In other words? It's great.
Of course, plenty of regular folks vouch for this Tatcha cream too, saying it's one of those rare worth-the-splurge beauty buys.
"Seriously, try it," said one super-fan. "I never knew what a moisturizer should feel like until I tried this. It quenches the skin yet you can still feel it breathe. I do think it's worth the $ when a little goes a long way."
Yet another remarked on the effect the cream had on her skin: "Love this product — it does make a difference in the appearance of your skin. Does not take weeks to notice. Stuff is amazing."
Over on Tatcha's site, women in their 50s, 60s and beyond can't stop raving, like in this five-star review: "I am 61 years old and I've used many moisturizers, hydrators and I've got to say, The Water Cream is the best! I received a jar as a gift, tried it and fell in love with it. Not heavy, not greasy, very lightweight, absorbs very quickly. My face feels silky smooth after applying just a tiny amount."
Of course, reviewers' biggest sticking point here is the price. "The only moisturizer that works for my oily skin," said one. "It's definitely very expensive but it's worth the money for me because it's the only moisturizer I've found that hydrates my skin but doesn’t get me oily in an hour. I would give it five stars if it wasn't so expensive."
"I do like this product as a versatile, extremely light and cooling moisturizer," remarked another. "However, someone recommended it as a moisturizer to fix my oiliness problem in my oily areas. It does not mattify [and] it did add to the shine. But for my at-home moisturizer or non-T-zone moisturizer when leaving the house (I just don’t put anything at all on the oily areas), I really, really like it."
Another Markle pick: This skin-smoothing exfoliator, which is marked down at Amazon in three skin-specific formulas:
