Amazon Prime Days are here! From July 8th-11th, shop exclusive savings on Amazon for a variety of products. Like any good aesthetician, we couldn't wait to add our favourite beauty deals to our cart.
On July 9th, we shopped the sale live on Instagram with our community of GLOW Getters who sent us their product recommendations and asked our advice on what they should avoid. If you missed our live, you can rewatch it here for our picks and products to ditch:
Before you checkout, here are the best 2025 Amazon Prime Day skin, beauty, and wellness products (and those you should stay far away from) expertly curated by our team of medical aestheticians.

The Best Prime Day Beauty, Skin, & Wellness Products In Our Carts
Makeup & Beauty
Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap - We love to use this as the first step to clean our makeup brushes. It breaks down makeup easily, is EWG verified, and unscented. We always follow up with Starlight Skin Illuminating Gel Cleanser to remove pore-clogging oils so your brushes won't cause breakouts.
Products We Love (But Are Out Of Stock):
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Hair:
Wellness & Lifestyle:
Oura Ring - Kaye wears the Oura Ring in the shade Gold
Skin:
Gua Sha - great for lymphatic drainage at home with Starlight Skin Argan GLOW!
High Frequency Devices - great for treating breakouts at home instead of extraction tools for less damage to the skin
Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Tool - We recommend you use these ONLY as part of your laser hair removal pre-and post care. Re-watch our Instagram Live to find out why this is not a service we offer in-spa!
What's Not In Our Carts
Makeup & Beauty:
d'Alba White Truffle Mist Serum - Recently recommended by makeup artist Kevin Kodra, it rates between 2-3 on comedogenic and toxicity scales.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer - Rates between 2-9 on comedogenic, irritant, and toxicity scales.
Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer - Rates 1-6 on comedogenic and toxicity scales.
Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Mineral Cream SPF 30 - Rates 1-6 on comedogenic, irritant, and toxicity scales. Use TiZO Mineral SPF instead!

Wellness & Lifestyle:
Clean Skin Club Single-Use Towels - Can cause irritation on sensitive skin types and aside from convenience, there’s no benefit. Clean your towels instead!
Skin:
Medicube PDRN Vita Coating Sheet Mask with Salmon DNA - Loved by Jaclyn Hill and many other influencers, it rates between 1-4 on the comedogenic and toxicity scales.
Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Facial Mask - Loved by Jaclyn Hill and so many other influencers - it rates between 1-4 on the comedogenic and toxicity scales. Try Starlight Skin Moisture Ritual Radiance Mask instead!
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Makeup Removing Towels - Rates 0-6 on comedogenic and safety scales. Try Starlight Skin Prepping Potion instead!
Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Exosome Shot Serum 2.0 - Try Exosomes with Microneedling at Starlight Med Spa or Starlight Skin Eternal Glow Youth Serum
Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentrate - Rates between 2-4 on comedogenic and irritant scales - Try Starlight Skin StarLIGHT Moisturizer instead
Weleda Skin Food - Rates between 2-4 on comedogenic scale and contains Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil - Try Starlight Skin StarLUX Moisturizer instead!
At-home microneedling devices - NEVER do this at home as it can cause serious damage to your skin. Leave it to our GLOW Masters instead!
Hero Pimple Patches (or any other brands) - Loved and promoted by Alix Earle but can actually make your skin worse.
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay - A viral product that contains a high-concentration of calcium bentonite clay, a concern for skin irritations and adverse reactions. It also has minor toxicity ratings - use Starlight Skin Clearing Clay Mask made from 100% French Green Clay that is safe and non-pore clogging.
Non-FDA approved LED Masks - We recommend Omnilux for at-home light therapy. Not available on Amazon, but you can shop with our code for instant savings! They’re flexible and made from medical-grade ingredients, so they’re the best at-home mask on the market. But nothing can compare to the LED therapy you’ll experience in-spa at Starlight.
Facial steamers - These are not necessarily a bad thing, and we love to use steamers as part of the Starlight GLOW facial, but used improperly they can cause burns, over-drying of the skin, or exacerbate certain skin conditions. Excessive heat exposure can lead to broken capillaries and inflammation
Extraction Tools - Used improperly, they can cause serious issues. Leave it to the professionals and get an extraction by one of our GLOW Masters instead.
