Kiehl’s, Solawave, and CeraVe: 14 Very Good Skin-Care Deals Happening Now
We’re fresh off of Labor Day weekend, but with both the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale and Nordstrom Summer Sale in full swing, there’s still an impressive batch of of skin-care discounts up for grabs. Notably, there’s an overwhelming amount of Kiehl’s deals all over the internet, and an editor-favorite Solawave wand is at one of the cheapest prices I’ve seen. So, I’ve trawled the usual suspects — Ulta, Sephora, and Dermstore — along with some less obvious spots and surfaced a slew of face washes, cystic-acne treatments, eye creams, and plenty more Strategist-approved products on sale for up for 50 percent off. All my picks are below, if you need to restock your skin care ahead of fall.

I added a handful of new items to the list, including lots of rare Kiehl’s deals and a half-off Solawave.
Deal I personally think are the best
Lots of good skin-care deals are on the table today, but Kiehl’s, Solawave, and Kate Somerville fans are the most in luck. I’d check out Nordstrom first, where a hydrating Kiehl’s value set is 40 percent off. Kate Somerville is 30 percent off sitewide with the code FAM30, knocking $30 off Brittany Snow’s favorite rejuvenating serum. And Ulta has the editor-favorite Solawave wand at the cheapest price we’ve ever seen.
