Amazon Prime is undoubtedly one of the most genius inventions in the digital age, if not of all time (well, at least as far as shopping goes). Not only has it changed our standards to, perhaps unrealistic expectations of delivery time frames, but it’s also changed the way we shop online as a whole. While scouring Amazon for cult beauty products may have felt like a bit of a gamble five or so years ago (hello knock off’s and expired skin serums), now days, you can find a huge selection of advanced skincare products (both prestige and affordable) as well as a sizable assortment of seemingly Amazon-exclusive beauty products from lesser known and indie brands. While these obscure labels may be unfamiliar, these are backed by thousands of glowing reviews and customer before-and-after’s to boot.
Many indie and up-and-coming brands often look to Amazon as their entry-level marketplace to sell their merchandise because there’s little overhead and the platform reduces the need for fancy marketing endeavors and social media campaigning without compromising visibility to potential customers. With that being said, just because these under-the-radar brands may or not be available for sale in brick and mortar beauty stores, and may have less than stellar logos and packaging designs, the astonishingly above-average reviews to rating ratios have elevated these products to beauty’s coveted cult status sector- not mention the fact that they’ve also become regulars in our shopping carts.
Of course, another bonus to less than luxe art direction and packaging, is that these products retain their efficacy without heightening the price to pay for a team of graphic designers or a social media department. Sure, you get most of your typical drugstore skin care staple on Prime, but these top-rated indie brands are definitely worth adding to your beauty arsenal. From highly-concentrated retinol creams to dupe-worthy Vitamin C serums, according to loyal customers and repeat buyers, these Amazon products offer skin-transforming results without breaking the bank. Here are some of customer’s top-rated favorites.
