I live in an apartment with a doorman, and lately, he's been teasing me about the amount of Amazon packages I get. The thing is, I can't resist a sale, even when I know Amazon Prime Day is coming soon. When I see something I want and the price is dropping, and know I can get it in two days or less, it's going in my cart. And while I love to shop, I love to save money even more. Some of today's best deals include CeraVe's Retinol Serum for just $11 (one shopper called it "liquid gold"), bestselling Samsonite luggage for 35% off and a 65-inch TCL Smart TV for under $400. Some smaller-ticket items include a viral sports bra for $20, the Amazon Echo Dot for 50% off and Ninja's XL 5.5-quart air fryer for only $90. Shop these deals and more below, and make room for all your packages.

If acne scars, enlarged pores or a dull, uneven skin tone are keeping you from loving your face, here's an affordable solution. This serum — cherished by over 35,000 five-star fans at Amazon — has been called "heaven sent," a "miracle in a bottle" and even "liquid gold."

One important thing to know is that it's a moisturizer and retinol in one. It also contains three ceramides for hydration. Of course, when you use retinol and retinoids, you should always use a moisturizer, so this is like a one-two punch.

"I am absolutely blown away by this product," said one shopper. "I have sensitive oily/combination acne-prone skin with lots of redness. I'm noticing a huge difference in less than two weeks already, and even noticed today my forehead wrinkles are starting to disappear!"

"I have some enlarged pores, discolorations and small acne scars, and while they haven't gone away completely I think they are less noticeable and my skin is definitely brighter and feels softer," said another. "Though I'm in my 60s, I still get occasional acne, especially with some skin-care products, but this hits the sweet spot with me because it moisturizes without causing breakouts."

"Wow, good stuff. Shrinks pores. Clears skin. Brings out old blackheads," added one 50-year-old shopper with sensitive skin.

This top-selling sports bra is loved by more than 40,000 five-star Amazon shoppers, including those with larger busts. Why? The straps don't dig into your shoulders, it offers just the right amount of compression and it's actually stylish. 

One Yahoo editor tried it and said, "The Lemedy Sports Bra not only holds you in and supports you like a hug, but it also makes the girls look good too. It's lightly padded, so even if you're not packing too much, it'll give you a bit of a lift (and you can remove the pads if you like). It's soft and breathable."

Amazon invented the smart speaker (hey Alexa!), so you can trust that it knows what it's doing by now. The latest Echo Dot offers great sound for its size, performs an array of functions and regularly costs $50. However, leading up to Prime Day, you can snag it for half off!

Yahoo's Senior Tech Editor, Rick Broida, writes in his review: "I consider the Echo Dot an excellent device, one that's incredibly useful and versatile. Whether it's your first foray into smart speakers or simply an extension of an existing smart-home setup, you'll find it an amazing asset."

Everyone sheds hair, but if you notice an uptick or are starting to see more of your scalp than you'd like, this shampoo and conditioner set might help. It's jam-packed with good-for-your-locks ingredients, including biotin, zinc, collagen, peptides and spirulina extract, all of which work together to help you achieve a fuller head of hair. DHT blockers could help prevent loss and thinning too. It's safe to use on colored hair.

"Hair that has life!" wrote one happy reviewer. "As a post-menopausal woman with thinning hair, this has brought mine back to life."

Keep an eye on your home with this Blink camera and Amazon Echo Show 5 bundle. They connect, so you can watch outdoor activity live on the Echo Show 5's screen, whether it's your dog digging a hole in the backyard or an Amazon delivery driver dropping off your latest purchase. The camera connects wirelessly and offers up to two years of battery life. Without the Echo Show 5, you can also watch video captured on Blink's mobile app. 

"Set up was a breeze — no complicated wiring and easy to sync with the Blink app on your phone or iPad," said one shopper. "We had them up and running in a matter of minutes, which was a big win in my book. The video quality is crystal clear, even at night, and the best part? You can access live view anytime through the app, so you always know what’s happening around your home. We especially love the two-way audio feature which is perfect for interacting with someone unknown on your porch without having to open your front door — adding a whole new level of security. And for messing with your dogs when they're in the backyard …that's always a good time."

Not a fan of AirPods or don't want to pay the hefty price tag? These earbuds offer 10 hours of life, but then the case provides another 30 hours on a full charge. The active noise cancellation is also pretty impressive. Two microphones detect ambient noise and cut it from your ears, so you only hear what you want. The Active Aware feature helps keep you in the loop about what's happening around you; important noises such as the honk of a car horn or someone shouting will come through — but the whine of an air-conditioning unit will be blissfully absent. These earbuds also come with a few sets of ear tips to help you find the perfect fit. 

"I purchased these earbuds after my AirPods completely stopped working," shared one user. "They have been the best earbuds I've ever owned, the active noise cancellation works really well for me when I'm trying to sleep or get work done, and the battery lasts forever."

Make food nice and crispy (even if it's just leftovers) with Ninja's 5.5-quart XL air fryer. Right now, it's nearly half off — the same price it was last Black Friday. In addition to air frying in its basket, you can bake, reheat and dehydrate food. The buttons are pretty intuitive too, so you can use it right out of the box with no issues. 

"I'm lazy when it comes to cooking. This air fryer was so easy to use that it actually made me cook more," said one customer. "It's very sleek and performs well. Buttons are very responsive and it does what it advertises."

Dirty floors, begone! This Shark is great for pet owners, but everyone will appreciate its powerful suction and LED headlights that help you see and sweep your floors to pristine perfection. It also has an extra large dust cup and converts into a handheld vac for cleaning furniture, stairs and tight corners. Simply charge it, turn it on and go — it has a 40-minute run time. Right now, it's over 40% off at Amazon, its lowest price of 2024 (and just $1 shy of its lowest price ever).

"It's lighter than the Dyson. At no time did my arm feel tired," wrote one reviewer, adding: "The power head feels well, more powerful. It almost feels at times like it's self-propelling itself. The Shark is quieter. My pets don’t seem to mind it and I can hold a conversation at normal volume while using it. I found the suction quality to be equal to the Dyson if not better, including picking up cat hair from the rug."

Amazon's No. 1 bestselling suitcase set is this one from Samsonite, and it's on sale! It includes two bags: a 21-inch carry-on (good for those traveling domestically) and a 28-inch checked bag. Both are equipped with 360° spinner wheels and telescopic handles. They're also incredibly durable, fans say, and come with a 10-year warranty to back 'em up.

"Very light and holds many items," confirmed one five-star fan. "I thought the material was too thin compared to my old Samsonite suitcase, but it had no problem with two weeks of travel and lots of transits."

If you've spent the past year squinting at your TV screen, it's time to splurge on something bigger and better. This 65-inch beauty from TCL is just the thing — and it's over 40% off. It comes equipped with Google TV and offers exceptional motion clarity.

"TV is great. You can't get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, HDR10 on other TVs for close to this [price]," said one impressed shopper. "What a great deal! Walmart delivered the next day and it's a beautiful TV."
