1. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Snag a bottle of this science-backed face cream that *totally transformed* one editor's skin, leaving it brighter and more hydrated after just a few days of use. It's powered by the brand's TFC8 complex—a blend of amino acids and high-powered vitamins—intended to repair and renew your skin, along with a bunch of other beneficial ingredients like evening primrose oil, squalane, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and more to tackle signs of aging, protect from environmental damage and soften fine lines and wrinkles. (Psst: It's also the skincare product Victoria Beckham swears by!)
2. Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye Tightener
If you have yet to see the TikTok about this stuff that went viral for its visible results in under three minutes, you will want to watch it now. You'll see for yourself, but when this vitamin C and E formula is swiped under the eyes, it can help to reduce crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles in record time. One buyer explains, "You can feel your skin tightening within seconds, and the effect lasts all day." Say no more.
3. Obagi Medical Professional-C Serum
You may have been waiting for the perfect moment to buy this serum loaded with a ton of vitamin C. And good thing you did, because it's currently marked down from $142 to $114. (And, trust me, it rarely goes on sale.) It may still be a splurge, but buyers think it's worth it for how well it penetrates their skin, helping to minimize dark spots and fine lines while brightening their complexion. "This is my ride-or-die vitamin C. I have used it for more than ten years..." one shares. "[It] helps to keep my skin glowing and hydrated. This is a must-buy!"
4. Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
Indeed, I'm stocking up on this favorite tested by former PureWow editor Brianna Lapolla, but why should you? For one, it made her lashes look longer and thicker in just weeks with its blend of vitamins, peptides and amino acids. Also, one tube should last you up to three months, depending on how much you use it, although you should start noticing results within four weeks. But don't just take my word for it. One reviewer raves, "This thing has worked wonders for me in the three months I have used it *consistently*...It works and does not irritate my eyes AT ALL. So impressed with this."
5. Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Face Oil
PureWow Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak credits this serum for brightening her skin and minimizing her dark spots. (I'm not kidding, just read her full review.) The benefits come courtesy of a high dose of vitamin C, golden turmeric and evening primrose oil. Not to mention, she says, when you use this product in the morning, it leaves you with a glowing base to start your makeup. "You can also use this at night as well as before you head to bed," she adds, to wake up with brighter skin.
6. Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks
The fact that PureWow's Beauty Director, Jenny Jin, says she would buy these pretty gold eye masks even if they didn't work is reason enough to add them to cart. "They’re just that fun to wear," she raves. They're infused with aloe leaf, calendula, amino acids and peptides, which do a fine job of softening and relaxing your under-eye area, according to frequent users. And you only need to leave them on for ten to 15 minutes for them to work their magic.
7. Pai Skincare The Impossible Glow Bronzing Drops
Summer is on its way, which means it's time to get your skin glowing in time for warmer weather. These bronzing drops may be the fastest way to get there. The formula features hyaluronic acid and sea kelp for hydration, per the brand, with lemon water to help illuminate your complexion. For subtle, sun-kissed radiance, you can add a drop or two to your favorite moisturizer, or apply the drops directly onto your skin for a more bronzed look. The effect is buildable, so you can totally customize your glow—and even add some to your body lotion for an all-over sheen.
8. Neocutis Lumière Firm Illuminating Eye Cream
Minimizing fine lines, bags and dark circles around your eye area can be quite a task. Unless you have this reader-favorite eye cream, that is. Loaded with peptides, vitamin C and caffeine, the formula is designed to boost collagen production, combat puffiness and brighten your under-eyes all at once. Plus, a little goes a long way. Don't believe it? Just hear this happy buyer out: "This eye cream lasted me so long, probably six months with daily useage. You only need a little, and it works like a charm. I see a noticeable difference in my under-eye appearance, reduces dark circles, brightens surface and so much more. I can't recommend this product enough."
9. NuFace Mini+ Starter Kit
Ever since another PureWow editor tested out the larger NuFace Trinity device and hydrating aqua gel (was $395, now $316), which delivered an instant facelift—I'm talking lifted brows, sculpted cheekbones and diminished forehead wrinkles—I've been waiting for the perfect chance to grab the mini version. It uses the same microcurrent technology that gives similar face-contouring results, except it's conveniently compact for travel. Not to mention, this kit comes with a two-month supply of the Aqua Gel and Silk Crème activators, plus the Clean Sweep Application brush, so I'll be set with everything I need to get the best results. Want in on it, too? Don't wait to grab this kit for 20 percent off!
10. Augustinus Bader The Shampoo
If you’re dealing with hair loss, dullness and/or damage from over-styling and coloring, this Augustinus Bader shampoo may be just what you need. It's formulated with the brand's famous TFC8 complex, which reportedly provides vital nutrients to the scalp, along with vitamin B5 to soothe and soften strands. Meanwhile, ingredients like watercress extract and maca root extract have been shown to improve hair density and thickness. Think of this shampoo as the jack of all trades of hair products—and don't forget to pair it with the The Conditioner (was $60, now $48).
11. Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment
I'd never leave out this oldie but goodie, the Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment that I and my fellow PureWow editors are obsessed with. Ever since it came into our lives, we've had better skin days thanks to its genius formula featuring lactic acid, licorice, lemongrass and aloe. They all work overtime to slough off dead skin cells, clear our complexion and leave skin feeling soft and smooth. Plus, the formula purportedly helps to boost collagen production for more youthful-looking skin in the long run. So if there's any product you *100 percent* want to buy during this sale, it's this guy right here.
12. Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
While you know you should be wearing sunscreen on your face year-round, 'tis the season to really invest in the good stuff. This SPF 50 face lotion has been popping up all over my For You page on TikTok for the way it effortlessly blends into users' skin. It claims to be both water- and sweat-resistant and offers buildable coverage, plus it's packed with ingredients like the brand's own Lipochroman that's intended to protect against environmental pollution, and iron oxides to provide protection from damaging blue light. (Just note that some reviewers found it to be drying, so it may not be best if your skin tends to be on the dry side.)
13. Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel Pack
Effective skincare on-the-go is made easy when you have these two-step packets on hand. When used daily, they're supposed to rejuvenate skin—evening out your complexion and delivering a glow that you can see from across the room—all by way of skin-resurfacing glycolic and lactic acids. Angela Pares, PureWow's VP of branded content, put the extra-strength version (was $92, now $74) to the test and noticed a difference in her skin texture after the first use. As she shared in her review, "[My skin] felt smoother, but not tight like it once had with my old scrubs." The brand says you can also expect instant and long-term anti-aging benefits as an added bonus of an already pretty great product.
14. Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle
Don't miss scooping up this Olaplex bundle that gets you full-size bottles of the brand's best-selling Bond Maintenance shampoo and conditioner. They're formulated to moisturize, repair and protect your strands by re-linking broken bonds, per the brand, and are safe to use on all hair types, including color-treated hair. Reviewers also rave over the formulas. As one writes, "My fine, thin hair has never looked better. Although it's not inexpensive, a little goes a very long way. Lathers up well, smells so good and is easy to rinse clean. It leaves my hair feeling thick and luxurious. Well worth the purchase!"
15. Paula's Choice C15 Super Booster
If you're looking for a more affordable alternative to the famous (and famously pricey) Skinceuticals C E Ferulic serum ($182), I think you'll be won over by this wallet-friendly option (which is actually one of the brand's top sellers). Its rock stair formula features the same marquee ingredients as the Skinceuticals serum, with 15% pure vitamin C, as well as vitamin E and ferulic acid to make skin radiant from the inside out. Reviewers swear that it's helped brighten their complexion and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use, so I might just pick up a bottle for myself, too.
16. RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner
I say it all the time, but it's true—nothing compares to this Meghan Markle-loved eyelash serum. It has transformed hundreds of buyers' lashes from short and stubby to long and falsie-looking in just a couple of weeks. The BioPeptin Complex, peptides and botanical ingredients are to thank, as they work together to condition and protect lashes from brittleness and breakage while also helping to improve flexibility. And apparently, all it takes is a swipe on your lash line before bed before you start to see a difference.
17. Fur Ingrown Concentrate
Ingrown hairs in the bikini area aren't fun any time of year, but they're especially annoying in the summer when all you want to do is wear cute high-cut swimsuits. Luckily, this all-natural oil (packed with coconut oil, tea tree oil and chamomile extract) will come to your rescue. Paired with an exfoliating mitt, it helps soothe irritation and nix ingrowns before they appear. One reviewer is obsessed: "This is the jam, and you need it in your life. [There's] nothing else like it to keep ingrown hairs and razor burn at bay. So thankful this exists! [It's a] small bottle, but you don't have to saturate yourself in it."
