I'm A Beauty Reporter And These Are The Cyber Monday Beauty Deals You Should Actually Shop

I highly recommend this French cream to anyone with problematic skin, as it has certainly saved me in a pinch when I had an eczema breakout and no prescription cream on hand. Advertising itself as a restorative barrier cream, it makes sense that the Avène Cicalfate acts as a shielding and isolating layer to compromised skin. And, according to the brand, the formula also works by improving the conditions that are optimal for damaged skin to recover by employing protein-rich postbiotics and a copper-zinc-sulfate complex. This richly textured and incredibly hydrating cream also has 45 potential uses, from razor burn, to diaper rash to scrapes and post-surgical scarring and much more.

There's a reason that Glossier's Balm Dot Com is a cult-fave. It's a wildly hydrating lip balm that happens to be jam-packed with antioxidants and emollients. Just what your dry, chafed lips and skin need during the dark mid-winter. Use as an all-purpose skin salve or enjoy one of the many tinted options for a bit of shine and glimmer. Either way, your lips will thank you.

This lip product is currently even cheaper than its Black Friday price. See this and other Glossier bestsellers at up to 50% off right now.

Previously suggested to HuffPost by board-certified dermatologists, the Dr. Dennis Gross daily peel pads can offer the benefit of a chemical peel, but with a gentler approach than what you might find in a dermatologist's office. Each treatment contains two pads: one to exfoliate and smooth your skin, and one that provides anti-aging benefits. The pads are pre-dosed with five acids, including glycolic, salicylic and lactic, that each work to reduce dullness and uneven texture, pores and hyperpigmentation.

One Amazon shopper said the following about this well-loved exfoliating treatment: "I loved this more than going and paying $100 for a chemical peel. It definitely improved the texture, skin tone, and overall quality of my skin. I used it every other day for 10 days and I will definitely be purchasing again. You don’t peel, but your skin looks better. I would highly recommend trying it."

This value pack of 60 treatments and 30 extra-strength treatments is definitely a splurge, but if you’re a devotee of this product – as many, many folks are – this is a smart buy.

Promising review: “I’ve only been using these peel pads for about 2 weeks and I already see a huge difference in my skin. I bought the 5 pack first to try them and just purchased the 60 pack because I think they are worth the steep price. I use them every 4 days and my skin looks the best it has looked in a long time! No dark spots, acne scars, breakouts or irritation. I have combo skin and have had cystic acne most of my life however I haven’t had any new breakouts since I started using these. I wait at least 20 minutes after using these to do my followup skincare routine which is a toner, serum and moisturizer. Definitely give them a try!” – Brock

If the cold weather is getting to you and your skin, our roundup of summer-scented bath and body products might have the cure.This physical exfoliant gently removes a layer of dead skin cells, and, if you leave it on your skin for a few minutes, intensely hydrates as well. The Coco Rose body polish smells like a blend of coconut-scented sunscreen and fresh roses, evoking the best days of early summer.

I'm pleased to report that Merit's blush balm is a great option for anyone looking for that natural, lit-from-within glowy vibe that won't clog pores — or for anyone who typically has a hard time applying blush. It is buildable, so you can keep it sheer or layer it on depending on your whim, and it hydrates and conditions the skin and looks good doing it. It has a lovely texture that isn't sticky or smudgy and lasts all day long. It's easy to blend with fingers or a brush and is available in 13 universally flattering shades.

This is Merit's only sale of the year with a 20% discount on the entire site.

Peptides are a trusted route to plumper and firmer skin, and this triple-lipid peptide cream by Skinfix uses a 3% peptide solution, along with a lipid complex that mimics the skin's barrier to lock in moisture. I've tried other Skinfix moisturizers in the past and they have always managed to keep my parched and sensitive skin hydrated and healthy.

Skinfix is offering 25% off sitewide through Dec. 1, with select products up to 50% off.

This is one luxury product that I afford myself again and again simply because of how luscious and nourishing it is. I'm not sure if it's because of its very subtle green hue or the carefully selected inclusion of ingredients, but I find that just a few dots around my eye and orbital bone instantly brightens skin and makes me look more awake. The ultra-creamy formula contains a rich base of avocado oil, antioxidant-rich beta-carotene and sodium PCA, a humectant derived from amino acids that helps to condition skin.

Kiehl's is offering 30% off its entire site, along with daily deals of up to 50% off select bestsellers.

The First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, which has earned a cult following among people with all types of skin, is a fine pumice-based formula that functions closer to a microdermabrasion treatment and a product that, if forced to decide, I would take with me to a deserted island. I have been a dedicated user of this targeted for years as a way to instantly treat my incredibly stubborn and very obvious keratosis pilaris on my arms. Its ability to soften rough skin is probably primarily due to its 10% concentration of AHAs, like glycolic and lactic acids. This category of chemical exfoliants can work to refine skin texture and slough off the dead skin cells that are responsible for those pesky bumps. The formula is also enriched with natural bisabolol, an antioxidant that offers soothing benefits post-exfoliation.

First Aid Beauty is offering 30% off on nearly all of the brand's bestsellers CYBER.

Before you say it, I know, I know, the Elemis Pro-Collagen cleansing balm is on the pricier side, even when it's on sale. Yet, its inclusion in this list should speak to just how worth it we think it is. Loved by a whole pack of HuffPost staffers, it's an oil cleansing balm you can use to remove makeup, clean your face, and keep your skin soft and supple. "I’ve found it’s one of the only products that can effectively cleanse my skin AND nourish it without making me break out," HuffPost editorial director Kristen Aiken said. "I have perpetually dry skin no matter how much water I drink, and this saves me from drying out (especially in the winter months)." In the coldest months of the year, you'll be happy to have this nourishing balm — especially when it's on sale.

If there's one thing that HuffPost readers and editors love, it's French pharmacy skin care products. A313 cream is the highest-strength retinol cream you can get over the counter, with three kinds of retinol that can help stimulate collagen. Its efficacy is renowned, as is the reasonable price point, making it a unique entry in the retinol category.

Reviewers have long noted that it's nearly as potent and effective as prescription-strength Tretinoin, without the negative side effects. In fact, some users who had been using prescription-strength Tretinoin then made the switch to this alternative, say they prefer A313 and have maintained the same results that they had with the prescription-strength formula.

In past reporting, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rebecca Marcus explained that, “[A313] contains minimal ingredients in its vehicle, which is helpful for those who are sensitive to fragrances or other ingredients that are commonly found in OTC retinol products."

Ultimately, what makes A313 distinctive (along with the price) is the thick occlusive texture, which is closer to a balm, and according to reviewers, can be more hydrating compared to other pricier formulations that you might find on the OTC market. The brand claims that the 2% retinol concentration can help unclog pores, minimize fine lines, reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin texture.

True Botanicals made a standout oil that is so effective that you might even be able to cut out a few extra steps in your skin care routine. It’s no wonder that famously beautiful celebs like Laura Dern, Lizzo, Brooke Shields, Olivia Wilde and January Jones are huge fans of the brand in general, and this oil specifically. Made with a whopping 27 plant actives like nutrient-rich and potent calendula oils, cucumber seed oil, organic hemp and jojoba seed oils and fresh ginger root oil, this oil is a hydrating, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic dream.

True Botanicals’ Pure Radiance oils come in three formulations so you can find the one that best fits your own particular skin’s needs: Renew, Clear and Calm. Calm is great for red and rosacea-prone skin, Clear is a dream for acne-prone skin and Renew is specially formulated to target fine lines, wrinkles and dullness. All three formulations have a luxurious slip and feel to them, with a subtle floral fragrance that won’t overpower your senses or have negative interactions with other active ingredients, such as retinol.

"I previously bought this on sale at Amazon and my skin — sensitive, acne-prone, combination — has really liked it! It's very no-frills, doesn't have a scent and doesn't feel too heavy on my face, especially in hot weather, which is a plus." — Erica Kam, HuffPost shopping staff writer

This shampoo and conditioner set is a bestseller among hair regrowth products on Amazon. The clinically tested set contains biotin to help thicken and strengthen hair, and reduce breakage and thinning. The aloe vera-based formula also contains many other nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, argan oil and more.

I have been using the CeraVe daily lotion as my go-to day facial moisturizer (though it can be used for both the face and body) for several years now and for a few different reasons. In my opinion, it's the ideal mid-weight texture that soaks completely into the skin and layers seamlessly over my other daytime skin care products, without any kind of contradictions. Something about the slight velvet finish that this lotion leaves behind serves as the perfect base for makeup to layer on top of — no pilling or unsightly foundation separating. Plus, the fact that I can procure a value-sized bottle of this for less than $20 keeps me coming back time and time again, but now that it's on sale for 25% off, I'll be grabbing several.

There's a reason why the Weleda Skin Food is a cult-favorite cream for completely transforming rough and flaky skin from head to toe. Senior shopping writer and resident beauty expert Lourdes Avila Uribe swears by this cream, previously saying she appreciates the ultra-nourishing base of beeswax, glycerin, sunflower, and sweet almond oil that leaves skin dewy, radiant, supple, and plump almost immediately.

Anything that contains rosehip oil is automatically a win for me, as it's one of my favorite products that deeply nourishes my skin, and, based on some recent conversations I had with a board-certified dermatologist, it can also offer anti-aging benefits by helping to support collagen production and is rich in antioxidants. Although I haven't used this particular formula, I'm a massive fan of Biossance's squalane oils, and this one calls itself a "trifecta of visible results" like brightening, firming, and hydration.

Through Dec.1, select items at Biossance will be 30% off and 40% off bundles.
