While many know that Amazon is brimming with drugstore beauty buys, its robust offerings of NBC-loved brands in the premium beauty space tend to fly under the radar. But the generous markdowns during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale apply to these brands as well, meaning you can enjoy savings of up to 30% off high-end skin care essentials, hair tools and more from brands like Living Proof and Avène.
While the sale is open to both Prime and non-Prime members, those with an Amazon Prime membership will enjoy exclusive deals, so this might be a good time to sign up if you’ve been on the fence. The sale ends March 25, so it’s worth shopping sooner rather than later.

The best Amazon Big Spring Sale beauty deals
To help you make the most of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale and identify the premium beauty products actually worth buying, we scrolled through hundreds of discounted items to narrow down the best deals that we think you should know about. All of our recommendations are based on our previous coverage and reporting.
Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence
4.6-star average rating from 78,589 reviews at Amazon
One of the best Korean skin care products, this facial serum has 96% snail mucin to create a dewy, hydrated complexion. It’s also hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested and has other ingredients (like hyaluronic acid and allantoin) to hydrate and repair skin, according to the brand.
GHD Platinum+ Hair Styler
4.4-star average rating from 2,581 reviews at Amazon
We consider this one of the best flat irons on the market, since it has smart heat control that maintains its preset temperature (of 365 degrees Fahrenheit) while you style in order to prevent heat damage, according to the brand. It also has rounded edges, which allow you to create waves and bends in the hair. Its ceramic, 1-inch plates work for most hair lengths and have rounded edges, which allow you to create waves and bends in the hair while styling. It also automatically shuts off after 30 minutes.
Avène Cicalfate and Restorative Protective Cream
4.0-star average rating from 6,273 reviews at Amazon
Infused with zinc, copper sulfate, lipids and Avène’s signature thermal water, this rich formula is one of the best creams to help repair your skin barrier, since it helps repair, hydrate and protect skin from external aggressors, according to the brand. “I have rosacea, so I use it after my weekly at-home chemical exfoliant peel to help soothe my skin,” says managing editor Leah Ginsberg. “It’s a very thick consistency, so I warm it up with my fingers first to make it easier for my skin to absorb.”
Strivectin Tighten & Lift Advanced Neck Cream
4.1-star average rating from 7,578 reviews at Amazon
“This is my go-to neck cream,” says NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider. “It’s incredibly thick, and one of those products I think actually lives up to the hype. It's certainly pricey so getting it on sale is such a win.” It’s designed to tighten, lift and smooth lines on your neck and chest. You can use it morning and night on your neck, jawline and decolletage.
Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray
4.4-star average rating from 2,250 reviews at Amazon
Intended for use on dry hair, this finishing spray delivers volume and texture for fine, flat or thinning hair types, according to the brand. It also has some grip that makes it easier to style, and protects hair from heat damage up to 410-degrees Fahrenheit, according to Living Proof.
T3 Fit Compact Hair Dryer
4.4-star average rating from 647 reviews at Amazon
This compact hair dryer from T3, which makes some of our favorite hair dryers, has three heat settings, a cool shot button and two speeds to dry hair. It’s great for travel, since it weighs 1.3 pounds and is 30% smaller than T3’s full-size dryers, and has a wide airstream to dry hair quickly, according to the brand.

5.0-star average rating from 4 reviews at Amazon
Save 30% on this Oribe collection, which includes the brand’s Hair Alchemy Resilience shampoo — one of the best shampoos for damaged hair. It also comes with the Resilience conditioner and Fortifying Treatment serum, all of which are free from sulfates and parabens.

St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist
4.4-star average rating from 7,679 reviews at Amazon
Self-tanner for your face might seem intimidating, but this formula takes the guesswork out of it: A quick mist imparts a light-to-medium glow without streaking or transferring, according to the brand.
