What Our Readers Couldn’t Stop Buying on Amazon in May

Anyone else in denial that 2025 is nearly halfway over? Maybe it’s been the abnormally chilly spring here in New York City, but the summer months are officially here. Even if the temps last week barely hit 60 degrees, I’ve swapped in sweat– and humidity-proof skin care, hair products and makeup in preparation for warmer days, and it looks like I’m not the only one. According to the numbers, NewBeauty readers flocked to Amazon to get all the products they need for summer-ready skin and hair, too. Case in point: our beauty savvy audience hoarded La Roche-Posay‘s dark spot-reducing sunscreen (we know you love a good multitasker), a mask for mirror-like shine on air dried hair and a classic BB cream that’ll replace all other face makeup this season. Below, details on these popular picks and the rest of the top 10 products NewBeauty readers bought on Amazon last month.
