Amazon deal radar: May 24, 2026 — Memorial Day Sunday

Beauty and personal care deliver the only two qualifying windows on a historically quiet Memorial Day Sunday. Hawaiian Tropic Weightless Hydration Face Sunscreen SPF 30 (1.7 oz) stacks to $4.30 net — $0.24 below its previous all-time tracked price — after a $2 clip coupon and 5% Subscribe & Save on the $6.63 page price (59% off MSRP, 12,646 reviews at 4.6★, Slickdeals +31). Softsoap Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refills (2×50 oz, Crisp Clean) hits $5.68 after 5% S&S, the lowest price in CamelCamelCamel's 10-month tracking window at 65.7% off list — $0.057/oz vs. Costco's $0.075/oz, Slickdeals +102 votes. Three near-misses (PowerColor RX 9070 XT GPU, MacBook Air M5, Instant Pot Vortex Plus) named and disqualified. Monday May 26 (Memorial Day proper) is expected to bring heavier flash deal activity.

Two deals qualified today. That's the honest count, and it fits the pattern: Memorial Day Sunday (Day 3 of a four-day weekend) is historically the quietest deal day in the window. Deal publishers front-load Friday and Saturday; Monday is when the true flash deals fire. Electronics produced nothing new — the GPU and MacBook picks circulating on forums are 16–18% off MSRP, well short of the 25% gate. Kitchen and outdoor are static. Traeger Pro 22 and Pro 34 hold their same prices from the last two days (both already assessed). The Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer sits 40% off MSRP but $30 above its all-time low — close, not there.
Beauty and personal care are the only categories delivering today. A travel-size face sunscreen from Hawaiian Tropic is below its historical all-time low after a coupon-and-S&S stack. A two-pack Softsoap antibacterial hand soap refill is at the lowest price CamelCamelCamel (a price-history tracker) has recorded in its 10-month monitoring window, and it beats Costco's per-ounce unit cost.
Cashback portals — Rakuten and TopCashback — are confirmed at 0% for Amazon general merchandise 1 2. The price math stops at Amazon checkout.

CamelCamelCamel confirms the previous all-time low for ASIN B00FLRHYCE was $4.54. 3 Today's $4.30 stack comes in $0.24 below that floor. The product carries 12,646 Amazon ratings at 4.6 stars, well above the 1,000 / 4.0★ minimum. 4 The Slickdeals deal thread (posted by Rokket, a Slickdeals Staff member with 24,000+ posted deals) has +31 votes. 4
What you're getting: Hawaiian Tropic (a brand under Edgewell Personal Care) makes beach-positioned, fragrance-forward sunscreens. The Weightless Hydration line focuses on face application with a moisturizing formula. Slickdeals community member CrazySaguaro, who lives in Arizona and buys the product regularly, described it as: "It absorbs nicely and doesn't leave a crumbly mess on your face like some other sunblocks do. It's highly moisturizing." 4
Two honest caveats:
  • Fragrance: This product has a noticeable tropical scent. Community member GreenMeerkat8059 confirmed it when another user asked. 4 If you are sensitive to fragrance or use fragrance-free skincare, this likely is not the right product for you.
  • Size: This is a 1.7 oz travel-size bottle, not a full-size tube. At $4.30 net, the unit economics are still strong, but manage expectations on how long it lasts.
The "double-dip" note: Slickdeals user XFiliate reported getting the price down to $2.84 by stacking a one-time-use coupon and S&S together — "I was able to get this down to $2.84 by double dipping." 4 This requires applying a one-time-use coupon clip separately and then enrolling in S&S — which is Amazon account–dependent and not reproducible for all users. The verified floor in this article is $4.30; the $2.84 figure is YMMV and should be treated as a possible upside, not a guaranteed price.
Should you buy? A 1.7 oz face sunscreen below its all-time tracked price, with 12,646 reviews at 4.6 stars, at $4.30 — the math clears all four gates. Verify the $2 clip coupon appears on your product page before adding to cart. If it doesn't show, the S&S-only price of $6.30 is still 40% off MSRP.
Honest alternative: EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is the standard dermatologist-brand recommendation for facial sunscreen — fragrance-free, reef-safe formula. It typically runs $36–40 (significantly more than today's Hawaiian Tropic price) but comes in a 1.7 oz tube. If fragrance sensitivity is a concern, EltaMD is the direct category comparison.

2. Softsoap Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refills, Crisp Clean, 2×50 oz — $5.68 | ✅ High-confidence

CamelCamelCamel has tracked this ASIN (B0FBZ94P96) for 10 months and marks the current $5.98 page price as the best price in its tracking window. 5 The monitoring period is short — 10 months is not enough to call this an all-time low with full confidence — but it is the lowest price this specific listing has reached since CCC began watching it. The product carries 20,299 Amazon ratings at 4.6 stars. 6 The Slickdeals thread (posted by JohnDubya, 2,644 posted deals) has +102 votes and 18 comments. 6
Unit cost math vs. Costco: This deal works out to $5.68 for 100 oz total — $0.057 per oz. Costco's Softsoap two-pack (2×80 oz) runs $11.99 — $0.075 per oz. 6 The Amazon deal is 24% cheaper per ounce than the warehouse option, even at a smaller pack size.
Antibacterial formula note: This product uses Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK) as its active antibacterial agent, not Triclosan. Triclosan was banned from consumer wash-off products by the FDA in 2016; BZK remains approved. That distinction matters because some Slickdeals community members raised the broader antibacterial-soap debate — user splg38 argued against antibacterial soap use in general. That's a personal choice; the product's formulation complies with current regulations and Softsoap (a Colgate-Palmolive brand) is a mainstream household name with a well-established review base. The thread's +102 community vote count is more than three times the +31 votes on the Hawaiian Tropic thread — the strongest community signal in today's window.
Should you buy? 100 oz of hand soap for $5.68, from a major brand, at a cost per ounce that undercuts Costco, with 20,299 reviews at 4.6 stars and the day's strongest community signal. If you use liquid hand soap refills, this clears the gate.
Honest alternative: The Method Antibacterial Hand Soap (various pack sizes) is the main premium-alternative category option, with a plant-based active (Benzethonium Chloride) and a cleaner ingredient profile. It typically runs $8–12 for a 12 oz bottle — a different price tier. For budget-focused refill buying, the Softsoap math is hard to beat at this price.

What didn't make the cut — and why

Three picks circulated on deal forums today. None passed all four gates.
CandidatePriceIssue
PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 XT 16GB GPU$669.99 (16.25% off $799.99)Discount below the 25% threshold. The all-time low is $599.99 7; today's price is $70 above it.
Apple MacBook Air M5 13.6" (M5, 16GB, 512GB)$899.99 (18.1% off $1,099)Discount below the 25% threshold. Apple products rarely yield clip coupons or S&S stacking. 8 The break-even at 25% off would be $824.25.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6 Qt Air Fryer$89.99 (40% off $149.99)Passes the discount gate but the all-time low is $59.99 (November 2023) 9 — today's price is $30 above the floor. Community signal is weak: one Reddit mention, no Slickdeals thread. The ATL gap is meaningful on a sub-$100 appliance.
The GPU and MacBook shortfalls are consistent with what Memorial Day deals look like in electronics: broad awareness-raising discounts that don't reach the depth needed to trigger buy signals. The Instant Pot is the closest near-miss — worth watching Monday if the price moves.

A note on today's deal count

This is a two-deal day. The editorial policy here is to say so rather than pad the count with near-misses or recycled picks from prior days. Neither of today's qualifying deals is a manufactured pick: both are in the top third of the channel's price-gate requirements, both have community verification, and one is below its historical all-time low.
Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day proper) is typically when Amazon's flash deals actually fire for the holiday. Historically, that Monday window produces the highest concentration of 24-hour Lightning Deals in the weekend cycle. Check back then — the electronics and kitchen categories that went quiet today are likely to produce legitimate qualifying picks.
