If you missed the latest installment of Magic Mike in theaters earlier this year, Channing Tatum can now dance into your line of sight via streaming on Hulu, Max or Prime. But while we love his chiseled jawline and abs of steel, it's the frisky frolicking he does with his stunning co-star — 57-year-old Salma Hayek — that's got our attention. Have you seen her lately? Salma's stunning complexion rivals that of women half her age, and she credits the main ingredient in this cream. Want to see if it takes a decade or two off your face? Grab a jar now at Amazon for just $9 as part of their blowout bonanza of Cyber Monday deals.

This night cream contains Salma Hayek's secret weapon skin-care ingredient for youthful-looking skin.

$9 at Amazon

Hayek has been steaming up the silver screen for nearly 30 years, though you'd never know it by watching Magic Mike's Last Dance. But there's no magic behind her flawless complexion, just the bark of a tree.

"I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that's used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin," Hayek told Elle magazine. "Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like, 'Oh my God! How come nobody is using this?' This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings."

The Tepezcohuite tree is often called the "Mexican skin tree" because its bark is known to help regenerate skin and hair. As a testament to that, it was used to treat hundreds of thousands of burn victims in an earthquake and a gas explosion in Mexico in the 1980s when no medical supplies were available.

Salma Hayek on the red carpet
From dusk to dawn and back again ... Could this Mexican cream have your skin looking as timeless as Hayek's?

Not many American companies have caught on. Yahoo's own senior beauty editor Jennifer Romolini tested the Del Indio Papagio Night Cream out and reported softer skin, though she found another product with an even higher concentration of Tepezcohuite (read: it's possibly more effective on wrinkles).

Amazon shoppers love the Del Indio Papago Night Cream.

"I read the Salma Hayek article and decided to give it a go," a reviewer said. "I have ridiculously picky skin (rosacea, sensitivities, etc) and I don't get my hopes up as most things I try either irritate my skin or cause breakouts. I have sun damage, fine lines and menopausal acne, basically, I never know what I'll see when I look in the mirror. I've used this for 3 weeks and so far so good. No irritation, my skin is calm and hydrated and best of all no acne."

"In all of my decades of trying skin-care products, Tepezcohuite has been the most transformative product I have ever used," declared an excited shopper. "In just a week's worth of use, morning and night, I see a noticeable improvement in my skin's tone, feel and texture. My 67+-year-old skin glows again for the first time in decades."

One five-star reviewer reported: "I get the hype. It is an excellent moisturizer. My skin feels smooth and hydrated. Small lines are less noticeable."

"When I bought this cream, I didn't know anything about it," related an enthusiastic user. "I was pleasantly surprised at how it made my skin feel and the quality of the product. I will be 70 years old this month and my skin looks 20 years younger."

For the full, 24-hour experience of this skin cream, Del Indio Papago makes a special, lighter-weight version for daytime use.

This daytime cream contains Tepezcohuite powder, collagen and vitamin E.

Aside from their fab price (over 40% off!), we love the real-time power readout on the front of the case of these earbuds, making it so much easier than pulling out your phone and swiping to find out how much charge is left.

This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds!

The user-friendly touchscreen lights up while in use and features time and temperature settings (from 90-400 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as four functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, the latter of which is a cool feature that isn't always included with air fryers.
