I test a lot of stuff.

And by stuff, I mean cleansers, serums, hair tools, lip glosses — you name it. Pretty much the entire Sephora stockyard is in my house, but that’s what comes with a career as a beauty product tester and commerce reporter.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is happening now — Oct. 6 through Oct. 7 — and the event has been around the block a few times. If you’re a Prime member, you’ll receive your cherished beauty buys (and other grabs, like toilet paper and your daily vitamins) at great discounts. You just need to know where to look, but that’s where the New York Post Shopping team comes in.

Sure, you can stock up on the Crest Whitestrips and Medicube Pore Pads that all of society is adding to their carts as we speak, but there are other gems to grab, which I’m sharing in this best Prime Day beauty deals roundup.

Some call it October Prime Day because, at its core, that’s what this two-day event is. I deem it an excuse to shop because if I can score soothing under-eye patches at a discount, my evenings and wallet are equally jumping for joy.

I love turning an ordinary shower into a little self-care moment with Eos Body Wash (trust me, I reviewed nearly every scent). It gives my shower routine a fun, pampering feel while leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed. If you’re looking for a body wash that makes everyday showering feel a little more luxurious, this is an easy one to reach for.

iRestore LED Face Mask

I use LED face masks regularly, and I’ve seen a difference in how my skin looks and feels when I stay consistent with them. The iRestore LED Face Mask brings that at-home LED skincare experience into a convenient wearable format designed for facial treatments. For anyone researching an LED face mask for an easy beauty routine, this is a gadget that makes consistency feel surprisingly fun.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Micellar Cleansing Wipes (50-Count)

I keep Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Micellar Cleansing Wipes nearby for those nights when a full cleansing routine feels like a marathon. The micellar cleansing formula lifts away makeup and everyday buildup while the ultra-soft wipes make removal feel quick and comfortable. For anyone searching for easy makeup remover wipes for busy nights, these are my grab-and-go beauty shortcut.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

When I want my body-care routine to feel anything but boring, I reach for the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream after my shower. The rich body cream leaves my skin feeling moisturized while its signature fragrance makes applying body lotion feel like a mini vacation. If you’re searching for a famously fun-smelling body cream, this is the one that makes me *actually* look forward to moisturizing.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

For a gentle face moisturizer, La Roche-Posay hits every time. The Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is rarely under $20, so Prime Big Deal Days is a great time to nourish your skin. Not to mention, it contains ceramides and niacinamide to balance and soothe.

After reviewing the Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask, I can tell you that it’s one of the beauty devices worth the investment. First off, the cooling under-eye patches are integrated into the mask and offer my skin some much-needed refreshment after a long day. It’s comfortable to wear, easy to use and makes the perfect early gift for the holidays.

Whether your skin is oily or you simply want to slot an exfoliator into your skincare routine, there’s nothing like grabbing Paula’s Choice at an excellent discount.

Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL

As someone who has always opted for micellar water, I didn’t think I’d find myself loving a *huge* box of makeup-removing towels — but here we are. These are so soft, so nourishing and so effective at removing both face and eye makeup. I love that they’re fit for sensitive skin and help reverse that dry, dull feeling.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

Say what you want, but you don’t need a $50 moisturizer; you just need nourishment! CeraVe’s bestselling cream contains ceramides, restores dry and cracked skin and is approved by the National Eczema Association, so you know your dermatologist approves of it (and the New York Post Shopping team).

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original

I don’t have acne-prone skin but I always have Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches on hand. I consider them my emergency pore-reducers. For $10, grab yourself a pack, wear one overnight for a whitehead or pesky blemish and prepare to be grossed out (in the most satisfying way possible). In other words, they work.

EltaMD Skincare UV Daily Sunscreen SPF 40

Whenever someone asks me for a facial sunscreen recommendation, chances are that I’m recommending EltaMD. It’s great for all skin types and dermatologist-recommended. With hyaluronic acid, it’s hydrating without feeling greasy and is just that SPF you have to buy on sale.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

Clinique is a legacy brand for a reason: we trust it, we use it and we love it. Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator gives my skin a glow that actually shocked me when I looked in the mirror. On some days, I feel confident enough to skip my foundation completely — and that’s certainly worth the Prime Day discount!

Tatcha The Serum Stick

If you want a serum but don’t want to deal with the drip dispenser, Tatcha’s The Serum Stick is the next best thing. It helps brighten dark circles and fade fine lines, so it’s the anti-aging product that’s worth the on-sale grab for hassle-free application.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum

Caudalie is a more expensive brand, but one that’s fully worth it if you grab it on sale. Alas, we’ve entered October Prime Day, where its crowd-favorite dark spot serum is *finally* less than $75. The best part? It layers well with other products.

If you’ve tried the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream and love it, this is your next product to snag while it’s on sale.
