Our holy grail picks start at $11.
Martha Stewart, my mother, and I have something in common—and it’s not the fact that we’re aging like fine wine. It just so happens that the three of us swear by the same Mario Badescu skin care products. The best part? Our holy grail favorites are all on sale for less than $20 at Amazon. (Trust us, run!)
Stewart is no stranger to the brand’s smoothing and firming formulas; the 83-year-old has pledged her allegiance to Mario Badescu for well over 40 years. Considering the state of her youthful complexion, I followed suit, and it was a matter of time before my 60-year-old mom was hooked, too. Below, browse through the brand’s gentle-yet-effective products, including Stewart’s go-to collagen mask, a luxe night cream, and $11 skin pick-me-up.

- Buttermilk Moisturizer, $15 (Originally $20)

Super Collagen Mask
$20 $15 at Amazon
According to Stewart’s facialist, the now-$15 Super Collagen Mask is part of the star’s regimen—and after using it myself, it’s clear why. Thanks to its hero ingredient, collagen, the rich product plumps and smooths your skin, leaving you with a younger-looking complexion. My mom can’t stop raving about the gem, and IMHO, her skin has never looked better.
Seaweed Night Cream
$22 $17 at Amazon
Another cart-worthy pick, this Seaweed Night Cream has worked wonders on my sensitive, combination-dry complexion—especially amid harsh winter weather. The oil-free formula deeply moisturizes my skin without leaving a greasy residue. And FWIW, my mom steals it from me every time I’m home.
Hyaluronic Eye Cream
$20 $15 at Amazon
If smoother under-eyes are your goal, Mario Badescu’s Hyaluronic Eye Cream is about to become your new best friend. Formulated with hyaluronic acid (as its name suggests), the treatment softens and hydrates pesky lines and wrinkles. After a few uses, I saw a difference in my under-eye area with my concealer looking seamless and cake-free.
