Day two of Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on beauty, skin care, hair care and more during the last day of the sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on household essentials, tech, vacuums and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day beauty deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20% off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months or lowest price ever. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.

Best October Prime Day beauty deals
These pore pads are double-sided with two textures: a soft side for hydration, and a textured side to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, according to the brand. Each container has 70 pads, which use alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA) to help reduce inflammation and smooth skin.
Former star of “The Traitors,” Dorinda Medley, told us she loves using these wipes to take off makeup on the go since they’re gentle and don’t dry out her skin. The disposable wipes are infused with micellar water to help you remove makeup, oil, bacteria and more without pulling or tugging, according to the brand. Each pack comes with 25 wipes.
This moisturizer made our list of 100 best moisturizers because it’s lightweight and soothing. It has niacinamide to help reduce irritation and glycerin for added hydration, according to the brand. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin says she likes that this moisturizer absorbs quickly and is safe for her dry, sensitive skin.
PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant
You can use this fragrance-free, leave-on exfoliating treatment to help tackle issues with acne and dullness, according to the brand. It has 2% salicylic acid, which helps control oil and reduce breakouts, according to the brand.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Laneige is one of our favorite brands and the Lip Sleeping Mask is one of our favorite products — this lip mask has antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to give your lips plenty of hydration, according to the brand. NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider loves that it has enough staying power to last the whole night, and is lightweight enough to wear throughout the day. The mask also comes with an applicator, so you never have to use your fingers to apply it.
This Cerave cream is another one of our favorite moisturizers, and our editors love how quickly it absorbs into the skin without leaving a heavy, uncomfortable feeling. The hyaluronic acid and ceramides keep skin soft all day, and the thick texture makes it great for wintertime hydration. It’s also accepted by the National Eczema Association, making it ideal for anyone with sensitive skin.
You can use this treatment to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and other blemishes, according to the brand. While hyaluronic acid adds hydration that prevents your skin from drying out, the serum’s thiamidol treats hyperpigmentation. It works well with spots caused by sun exposure, acne marks, everyday blemishes and more, according to the brand.
This viral shower oil transitions from an oil to a milky, soapy lather, and can even replace your shaving cream, according to the brand. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio says the almond oil has a hydrating formula and a vanilla-almond scent that’s not too overpowering.
This beard oil has a mix of botanical and fruit-based oils that help to soften and strengthen your beard hair, according to the brand. It also has antioxidants and soothing ingredients like vitamin E to help treat dry, itchy under-beard skin.
This serum has a creamy consistency that’s great for dry skin and has 15% THD ascorbate (a form of vitamin C) to help treat dark spots, dullness and fine lines, according to the brand. It’s also safe for sensitive skin — Godio says it’s the only vitamin C serum that doesn’t irritate her rosacea-prone skin. The packaging also has a pump that makes it easier to apply.
T3 curling irons have extra-long barrels, which make them great for curling long hair and hard to reach areas. They have a clip design that holds your hair in place while you use it, and glides easily without snagging on your hair, according to the brand. It has nine heat settings and a maximum heat of 410 degrees Fahrenheit.
Oral-B’s electric toothbrushes are designed with a pressure sensor that lets you know when you’re brushing too hard, according to the brand. The brush has a timer that alerts you once you’ve been brushing for two minutes, and has three cleaning modes, including daily clean, sensitivity and whitening. It also lasts up to two weeks on a full charge, according to the brand.
The Shark Speedstyle includes various attachments for a wide range of styling, including a diffuser, a frizz-reducing finisher, a smoothing brush and a wide tooth comb. It has three heat settings, three air settings and precise temperature regulation — the dryer measures its temperature 1000 times per second and keeps it under 230 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand.
This is our editor’s pick for best water flosser because it’s sleek and cordless. The reservoir can hold up to 7 ounces of water, and the brush itself has three pressure settings and four included tips, according to the brand. The toothbrush also includes a travel bag to store it and take it on the go.
NBC Select editorial operations associate Jem Alabi loves this cream and recommends it to anyone dealing with dry or textured skin. She’s purchase two bottles in the last year and says she set out to treat her scarring and keratosis pilaris. “This lotion made my skin very soft during the winter and definitely brightened up my legs and arms. I even felt comfortable using this on my face, which simplified my skin care routine greatly.”
This healing ointment is ideal for those dealing with dry, cracked heels. It has ceramides that help to restore your skin’s moisture barrier and prevent it from drying out, according to the brand. It’s also safe for sensitive skin.
Olay Super Serum Body Wash
This body wash is made for very dry skin, according to the brand. It has vitamin E, niacinamide and shea butter to soothe and hydrate your skin, plus it’s phthalate- and silicone-free. It also has a fruity, vanilla scent.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
This viral concealer is full coverage, but still has a lightweight texture that doesn’t feel heavy on your skin, according to the brand. It has a smooth, matte finish, and is available in 58 shades.
This K-beauty cleanser is gentle enough for sensitive skin types, according to Sulwhasoo. It removes dead skin without irritation, and has mulberry leaf extract to soften skin while cleansing, according to the brand.
Color Wow is one of our editors’ go-to hair care brands, and this shampoo is designed to help cleanse color-treated hair without dulling or fading, according to the brand. The shampoo is safe for all hair types and is sulfate- and oil-free.
