Amazon Prime Day is happening now through Jun. 26, offering discounts on thousands of items under $50, exclusive to Prime members. Some of the top deals include skin care and beauty, household essentials and small appliances.
I’ve covered sales and deals as an editor at NBC Select for more than five years, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day deals under $50 — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day.

The best Prime Day deals under $50
In our guide to snail mucin, experts say this buzzy ingredient hydrates and plumps the skin while also targeting fine lines. This Cosrx serum, one of our favorite facial essences, is suitable for all skin types, lightweight and hypoallergenic, according to the brand.
This is one of our favorite lip masks because it has shea butter and vitamin C to hydrate and soften your lips, plus it comes with a small spatula so you don’t have to dip your fingers into the product. It’s available in multiple flavors, all of which are on sale.
Olaplex’s hair care products are favorites among our NBC Select editors. This kit has full sizes of its bestsellers: the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, the No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner and the No.7 Bonding Oil, all of which hydrate, detangle and nourish hair by repairing damaged hair bonds, according to the brand.
This Dawn dish soap comes with a reusable spray bottle and three refills to keep your kitchen stocked. I love using this spray to remove grime and stains from my dishes, plus it has a pleasant scent that leaves them smelling clean and fresh.
Control air purifiers, fans and other gadgets around your home with this smart plug using voice commands or the Alexa app. The plug fits into any standard outlet and is compact enough to free your second outlet.
An NBC Select Wellness Award winner and NBC Select editor favorite, this pack comes with a set of 22 whitening strips. They’re semi-firm and adhere nicely to your teeth, so you can do other tasks during the 30 to 45 minute treatment. Plus, they’re enamel-safe and ADA-approved.
Mix this electrolyte powder with water to hydrate faster than drinking water alone. Each pack is travel-friendly, so you can pour them into any bottle while you’re on the go.
Stock up on dishwasher tablets this fall Prime Day with this 62-pack from Cascade. The pods soak, scrub and rinse dishes while leaving behind a fresh, clean scent.
These Kitchenaid oven mitts are made from soft, ribbed silicone that’s grippy, water-resistant and heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand. They also have a cotton cuff, so they feel comfortable against your skin.
The Echo Dot is a speaker, home theater system, temperature regulator and Wi-Fi extender all in one. It can stream music, podcasts and audiobooks, and it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can set timers, get weather updates and more using voice commands.
This is one of our favorite dry shampoos because it absorbs excess oil, buildup and odor without talc or aluminum. Plus, it blends easily into your hair and doesn’t leave a dramatic white residue on your scalp like many other dry shampoos, according to the brand. Reviewers say it has a pleasant, fresh scent and helps add volume and texture to hair.
Keep track of your items by attaching your AirTag to your keys, wallet, luggage and more. The Apple FindMy app lets you pinpoint the exact location of your AirTag if it’s within 30 feet, and its chime makes your items even easier to find.
This anti-frizz spray helps minimize heat damage and leaves hair looking glossy and smooth after styling, according to the brand. I use this product regularly before styling my hair because it doesn’t weigh down my hair and smells great. The brand recommends evenly distributing the product through damp hair and blow drying afterward.
When it comes to healing dry skin, Aquaphor does it all: We recommend it for your hands, lips and razor bumps, to name a few. The thick, fragrance-free formula has petroleum to heal dry, irritated skin, as well as glycerin and panthenol to moisturize. If you prefer a travel-friendly version, this Aquaphor bundle is also on sale for Prime Day.
You can mix this collagen powder into both hot and cold beverages, including water, smoothies, coffee and tea. It has collagen sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to keep bones, joints, nails and hair healthy, according to the brand.
This tinted mineral sunscreen is one of my favorites because it’s oil-free and noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and fragrance-free, making it a great option for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. It has a sheer tint, which helps reduce the look of redness and dark spots on your skin throughout the day.

Why are these Prime Day deals under $50 worth it?
Amazon Prime Day historically offers Prime members some of the lowest prices of the year, and these limited-time deals only last through Jun. 26. All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Select’s previous coverage and reporting. I also included products the NBC Select staff tested. I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included those that:
- Are at their lowest price in at least three months
- Are 20 percent off or more
- Are highly rated with at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of customers on Amazon
