15 best-selling beauty products you probably didn’t know were at Costco

Costco knows what it's like to sell something that's in high demand. The brand's infamous $4.99 rotisserie chicken, for example, made headlines several times last year, and yet they still sold more than 137 million rotisserie chickens globally last year.

But if you only think of Costco as a destination for bulk laundry soap and new baked goods, then you might be missing out on one of the best perks of having a Costco membership — scooping up good deals on surprisingly top-tier beauty products.

In fact, there are lots of bestselling beauty products at Costco, which is what we're dubbing items that have 1,000 reviews or more on the brand's site. What we didn't expect was to find so many top-rated brands like SK-II, Perricone and even La Mer (!) stocked on the virtual shelves.

In some cases, you can find bulk deals on bestsellers, and in others, you can find exclusive deals that are accessible only to Costco members. Plus, right now Costco has a "Buy More, Save More" event going on through Feb. 4 where you can save on qualifying beauty items, many of which are included below. Save $30 when you buy three items or save $50 when you buy four items or more.

Whether you're a longtime Costco shopper or are simply curious about the types of brands you can find at the international retailer, below are 15 best-selling beauty products at Costco that have more than 1,000 reviews.

1. Pura d'or Advanced Therapy Anti-Hair Thinning Shampoo & Conditioner Duo

If you've noticed your hair is looking a little lackluster lately, Pura d'or's Advanced Therapy shampoo for thinning hair is a great choice. In fact, we've dubbed the brand's biotin shampoo as our pick for the best all-natural hair thinning shampoo in our guide to the best shampoos for thinning hair. 

The Advanced Therapy shampoo and conditioner set is designed specifically to reduce hair thinning due to breakage, whether that's because of dry hair, over bleaching, excessive damage and more. The formula is made with a blend of vitamins and botanical extracts including pumpkin seed oil, nettle and black cumin seed oil, all of which are shown to nourish hair follicles and prevent split ends and breakage.

8. simplehuman 8” Round LED Sensor Mirror with 5x and 10x Magnification

A good lighted makeup mirror is essential in the mornings, especially in the winter when it's dark and dreary outside. This bestseller from Simplehuman has both 5x and 10x magnification, which can be useful for putting in contacts, plucking eyebrows, putting on lipstick and much more. 

We especially love that it automatically lights up when you approach it, and the light it designed to simulate natural sunlight. It's core-free and rechargeable so you don't have to worry about tripping on an unsightly cord. Choose from silver or rose gold.

9. Further Food Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides Powder (unflavored)

Improve your skin from the inside out with a daily dose of collagen powder. This grass-fed collagen powder delivers 8 grams of high quality collagen per scoop to reduce wrinkles and helps strengthen hair, skin, nails, bones and joints over time. Collagen can also help thicken hair as well as promote firmer, softer skin. While it is unflavored, most reviewers recommend blending it into smoothies, juices or dissolving it into morning coffee with milk or cream. 

$39 at Costco

10. NuReveal Resurfacing Face Scrub

Cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your own skin without having to get a facial thanks to this resurfacing face scrub. Made of exfoliating walnut shell powder, calming chamomile and anti-bacterial willow bark, this unique formula can be used on even the most sensitive skin types. The fine-ground formula is ideal for removing blackheads and deep-cleaning acne-prone skin. It's recommended to use two to three times a week.

11. Brush On Block SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen (2 pack)

If you frequently forget about sunscreen, reach for this brush-on sunscreen instead. It's innovative powdered sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB damage while remaining waterproof and reef-safe. Wear it alone or with makeup. The small self-dispensing brush is small enough to keep in your purse or makeup bag, so that you can swipe it on at the end of your makeup routine. It's also easy for men and kiddos to use, too. 

$35 at Costco

12. DS Laboratories Revita Anti-Hair Loss Stimulating Shampoo

Stop hair loss and protect your strands at the source with this stimulating anti-hair loss shampoo. It's made without ingredients that can damage hair growth like sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens and Phthalates. Instead, it's made with energizing ingredients that have been shown to promote healthier, thicker hair such as copper peptides, biotin and caffeine. It does, however, contain emu oil, so vegetarians and vegans might reach for another shampoo instead.

For optimal results, lather and leave it on hair for two minutes before rinsing away — the longer the ingredients have time on your strands and scalp, the better.

$58 at Costco

13. NASSIFMD Hydro-screen Hydrating Serum

Unlock dewy, hydrated, younger-looking skin with this non-greasy serum that's designed to boost your skin's natural glow. Though technically a serum, it dries to a non-sticky, matte finish that'll leave you feeling supple and hydrated without needing to layer on thick lotions and creams. 

$65 at Costco

14. StriVectin SD Advanced PLUS Intensive Moisturizing Concentrate (2 pack)

Reduce the appearance of stretch marks, retain collage and improve skin's elasticity with this rich and creamy moisturizing concentrate. Use in the morning and evening on the face to treat wrinkles and fine lines, or use on stretch marks twice a day to improve their appearance over time. 

$75 at Costco

15. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence with Pump

Facial essences are extremely common in Japanese and Korean skin care routines, but are still somewhat unfamiliar to some western shoppers. Essences are used kind of like an extra layer of hydration on the skin, and should be used after cleansing the skin and before putting on serums and moisturizers.

And the queen of essences? That would be SK-II's Treatment Essence, which is formulated with the brand's very own special ingredient called "PITERA" — which appears to be an organic by-product derived from the sake fermentation process. The essence is designed to be a hero product for your beauty cabinet, taking on the task of hydrating, moisturizing, softening and smoothing texture all in one.
