I love trying out new skin-care products as much as the next beauty editor, but there's something to be said for the tried-and-true ones that keep skin healthy, clear and glowy. And who better to recommend the most effective (if sometimes less sexy) skin care than dermatologists?

It's only natural then that for this month's Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, we went on the hunt for dermatologist-approved picks. Read on for 10 finds vetted and approved by dermatologists, on sale on Amazon through October 9.
