Welcome to 2024! What a horrifying sentence. At no point did it feel like Christmas and it does not feel like a new year now, but the march of time continues regardless of whether or not we accept it. The good news is that the new year means there are lots of sales. My theory is that brands are trying to offload remaining inventory to prepare for new launches. 

Whatever the reason is, the result means more savings for you. Thousands of beauty products are on sale on Amazon but I’ve narrowed it down to the 17 best deals, prices start at $2 and max out at $47. See my favorite on-sale picks below.

Advanced Clinicals Retinol and Niacinamide Anti-Aging Face and Body Lotion

Amazon Advanced Clinicals Retinol Body Lotion

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $20 $16

Advanced Clinicals is the brand behind InStyle readers’ most-shopped Amazon beauty product of 2023. That specific product, a firming retinol face and body cream, is 10 percent off, but that pales in comparison to the 25 percent discount on its Retinol and Niacinamide Lotion.

The now-$16 face and body combines the well-documented benefits of retinol with the incredibly efficient and skin-improving niacinamide. The brand claims that this formula targets a slew of skin concerns including dryness, uneven skin texture and tone, firmness, elasticity, and wrinkles.

It’s not as tall of an order as it may seem once you take a deep dive into the titular ingredients. Retinol is able to penetrate past the surface of skin, where it encourages your body to produce more collagen. It’s an important feature to highlight because it means firmer skin that’s less wrinkled and saggy. Retinol also speeds up your cells’ renewal rate, which leads to a smoother complexion and the sloughing away of dark spots. Then there’s niacinamide, which is derived from vitamin B3, which reduces the appearance of pores and protects your skin from things that cause signs of aging. It means preventing the worsening of and improving existing wrinkles and age spots. 

A 50-year-old shopper wrote, “I see a reduction in the dry, crepey skin on my arms.” Another 59-year-old shopper said, “my neck, thighs, legs, arms, and face all look healthy and supple with the consistent use of this product.” 

Nioxin Natural Hair Progressed Thinning System Kit

Buy on Amazon $55 $47

Whether your hair loss and shedding is related to COVID-19 or not, a wonderful solution according to actress Alyssa Milano and thousands of shoppers, is Nioxin’s hair growth kits. The crux of its hair growth products is the FDA-approved minoxidil, a stimulant that elongates your hair’s growth phase and shortens its resting phase. 

This kit comes with a shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment that has more than 6,800 five-star ratings. A 64-year-old shopper said that after having COVID-19 their hair began shedding more to the point where they were “very concerned [they were] going to end up bald.” After using it for a few months they said, “[my hair] is thicker than I can ever remember it.” Even their hairstylist was “amazed at how thick [their] hair is.” 

Don’t wait for time to run out on these deals; shop these under-$50 beauty must-haves from Amazon ASAP.
