Everything I’m Restocking During the Amazon Prime Day Sale as a Dermatologist

Amazon Prime Day is around the corner, and these are the skincare, haircare, and beauty products I’m restocking.

1. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+

This is one of the lightest sunscreens I’ve used. The kind that doesn’t make my face look like an oily cutlet.

For hot, humid Indian (and UAE) weather sunscreen texture is a non-negotiable. The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use enough of, every day. And this is IT!

Works like a serum + moisturizer + SPF in one, especially for oily/combination skin days.

2. Medicube Pink Collagen Exosome Shot

I first bought this just to see what the hype was about. And honestly, it passed.

I like the idea of controlled, gentle micro-stimulation for skin glow and texture. To make things better, they also added low molecular weight PDRN and exosomes to this mix. Chef's kiss! But please note, this is not something to abuse. You can't use it more than once a week, max. Also, never on active acne, irritated skin, compromised barrier, rosacea flares, or immediately after harsh exfoliation.

3. Dr. Reju-All PD3 Advanced PDRN Cream

PDRN skincare is having a moment. Is it the same as injectable PDRN/Rejuran? No. Absolutely not.

Injectables and topical skincare are not comparable. But as an overnight barrier-support/glow product, I do enjoy this.

I use it everynight, before retinoid or azelaic acid. Once a week, I also use it under the Medicube Pink Spicule Shot.

4. Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask

Let me start by saying, the word “collagen” on this sheet mask is mostly marketing. But, the wording aside, this hydrating mask is such a goodie to temporarily plump the stratum corneum, reduce that tired/dry look, and make my skin look fresher before an event.

I like this for flights, post-travel skin, or post-exfoliation to regain hydration.

5. Pantene Oil Replacement

Lately, my ombré-dyed ends have been behaving like they were raised without discipline, and this has been a rescue-ranger for frizz and dryness.

For everyone with coloured, bleached, heat-styled, or frizz-prone hair, this is an easy add-on.

6. CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum

For days when I’m too lazy to do the full tretinoin ritual, retinol comes to rescue!

Retinoids are among the better-supported ingredients for acne, pigmentation irregularities, texture, and early signs of aging.

This is also gentle enough to be applied around the mouth or eyes.

7. Forest Essentials Body Mist

I know, I know. I’m a dermatologist. We’re supposed to be team “fragrance-free.”

But I’m also human. And this smells too good.

8. Batiste Dry Shampoo

A guilty pleasure for my greasy roots, post-workout hair, fringe/bangs, and emergency hair days.

P.S.- Dry shampoo is not a replacement for shampoo. It can absorb oil temporarily, but it does not actually clean the scalp.

9. Sesderma Azelac RU Serum and Sesderma C-Vit Liposomal Serum

Also restocking these babies. Pigmentation girlies know why.

Azelac RU contains azelaic acid, retinol and tranexamic acid. I use it in my nightly routine udner tretinopin/retinol. Works so well for acne, dark spots and mild melasma.

C-Vit liposomal serum is a vitamin C-based antioxidant serum. Been using this for the last 5 years under my SPF every morning, and so loving the results!

So, there you have it! My Amazon Prime Day sale restocks!

Just a note of caution: Don’t buy skincare just because it’s discounted. Buy what fits your skin type, your climate, your routine, and your actual concern.
