The Best Beauty Sales of the Week
As the Strategist’s deals editor, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day. Some of my favorite finds are in the beauty bins: The price drops are impressive, and there’s almost always something from our archives in the mix. And each week, I find the best of the best beauty products on sale across the internet exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers and present them to you here.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Moisturizer SPF 30 & Trial Size Hydro Boost Facial Cleanser
Dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla calls this drugstore retinol “a little gem” and says “it’s one of the few over-the-counter retinoids that the clinical data is almost as impressive as a 0.025 tretinoin.” This bundle comes with a travel-size cleanser from Neutrogena’s much-loved Hydro Boost line.

Braun Silk-épil 7
An easy-to-use epilator, just in time for swimsuit season.
Fresh
Everything at Fresh is 30 percent off through June 28. Personally, I’m considering a bottle of the brand’s best-selling Soy Face Cleanser, which we’ve often recommended on our site. We’ve often recommended the face wash on our site; it leaves skin “toned and brightened, eliminating an extra step from your skin-care routine,” says makeup artist Sofiia Strykova, and it’s sensitive-skin friendly.
Kiehl’s
Everything is 25 percent off for Kiehl’s Friends and Family sale through June 22. Get Dad a Best in Class face wash as a last-minute Father’s Day gift, or treat yourself to the brand’s classic moisturizer and lip balm.
Kosas
At Kosas, everything is 20 percent off everything through June 19. Writer Arielle Avila says its concealer is “hydrating, packed with skin-care ingredients, and so lightweight that I can barely feel it.” Writer Brenley Goertzen loves the brand’s setting powder because it’s “brightening but also reduces shine” and prevents her concealer from creasing. And the DreamBeam sunscreen is one of Katherine Heigl’s favorites.

Sephora’s Major Summer Deals event has begun. Select items are up to 50 percent off through June 23, with rotating discounts throughout the event. It’s also a good time to buy Topicals’ brightening serum or Laneige’s lip balm (for the same price that it will probably be during Prime Day). For even more, you can find beauty writer Krista Bennett DeMaio’s guide to shopping the sale here.
Ulta
New! You can now save this product for later.
Our favorite longwear primer is 30 percent off. “I’d reach for this if you’re going to have a really long day or a really long night and you really want to secure your makeup,” says makeup artist Steve Kassajikian. It “smooths the skin and fills in the pores, but it also hydrates your skin.”
Lots of Marc Jacobs fragrances are 30 percent off at Ulta, both as single bottles and gift sets.
