As most people would attest, there is something for everyone on Amazon. As the world's largest e-commerce platform, it's a treasure trove of electronics, clothes, shoes, books, and of course, anything and everything related to beauty and grooming. From drugstore and luxury brands to indie and natural skincare and makeup brands, anyone would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices available. To help you narrow down the best beauty buys from Amazon this year, here's a list compiled by the beauty editors of Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Popsugar, and Byrdie.

TruSkin Vitamin C Serum

As any skincare junkie would know, vitamin C is one of the buzziest skincare ingredients of 2020 and will remain a staple in most people's routine for many years to come. The powerful antioxidant protects the skin from the sun and free radicals and brightens dark spots and acne marks. Glamour says even dermatologists love this serum as it also contains vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for an extra boost of moisture. This vitamin C serum is an editor favorite across the board.

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush

For anyone who misses their regular salon blowouts, replicate it at home with Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush. Popular among the TikTok crowd, this time saving, two-in-one styling tool uses ionic technology to give you shiny, smooth and volumized hair in a shorter amount of time than wielding a brush and a hairdryer.

Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 Repairing Treatment

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin

CeraVe skincare products have flown off the shelves thanks to the TikTok crowd and skin care experts like Hyram, the so-called "Gen Z Whisperer." However, CeraVe products have long been a favorite among dermatologists thanks to its skin-loving ingredients such as ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. If you want to know what the fuzz is all about, grab a jar and see for yourself. This moisturizing cream is especially good for those who suffer from eczema and for those with very dry and sensitive skin.

L'Oréal Paris Makeup Lash Paradise Mascara

With 3000 Amazon customers giving this mascara a 5-star rating, up your eye game, and give this drugstore gem a try if you want longer and volumized lashes in 2021.

Avarelle Acne Pimple Patches

Another skincare product hyped on TikTok is hydrocolloid patches. Aside from sucking out excess oil and pus from breakouts, dermatologists approve of these patches since they keep you from touching or pricking your pimples and prevent further infection. Formulated with natural acne busters like cica, tea tree oil, and calendula oil, Avarelle Acne Pimple Patches are also a great bargain as you get 40 patches in one pack.

LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream

Most retinol products are pricey but not LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream. This Amazon bestseller is a potent retinol cream but is also packed with organic moisturizing ingredients such as green tea hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and vitamin E, so those with sensitive skin that's prone to peeling and flaking with other retinol products will not be discouraged from using it.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Maskne getting you down? Make those pesky zits disappear with Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. Kylie Jenner is a fan of this pink solution that dries up acne overnight with its effective blend of calamine, salicylic acid, and sulfur. Make sure to let the pink solution settle on the bottle before scooping it out with a cotton swab.

Finishing Touch Flawless Mini Beauty Fridge

Some beauty products are better stored in cold temperatures. To avoid contamination and weird smells from your refrigerator, store them in their own space like the Finishing Touch Flawless Mini Beauty Fridge.
