Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale Ends Tonight. I Found the 25 Best Deals to Shop Now.
Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale is winding down — it ends tomorrow, August 14 — so now’s the time to shop if you haven’t. Hundreds and hundreds of popular beauty products are up to 25 percent off with code CHEERS. I sifted through all of the top brands on sale to see what’s really worth buying and found a nice crop of rare discounts on Strategist-approved products, including one of our favorite face washes for dry skin, our favorite powder sunscreen, and my personal go-to cleansing oil (that I will be stocking up on). You can shop by category using the links here, or scroll on to see all my favorite deals.

Ahead of the sale’s final day tomorrow, I’ve checked that everything in this post is still on sale and added some more Strategist-approved deals.
Sun care

Second to Amazon, Dermstore is where you’ll find the best deals on EltaMD’s Best in Class face sunscreens. If you like a silky, lightweight formula, effective SPF, and a blurring tint, this one is for you.

Vacation’s “best-smelling sunscreen” (it has “notes of coconut and hints of swimsuit Lycra,” wrote senior writer Liza Corsillo) is now just $11 for a 3.4 oz tube. It’s paraben-free and reef friendly, and the packaging is cute to boot.

Vacation’s whipped-cream-esque SPF is also on sale, if you want a more fun sun-care experience.

For fans of extra-protective mineral sunscreens, this “whisper-light and moisturizing” product is also a great option.

Don’t forget to reapply your SPF throughout the day. Eight out of the 12 experts we talked to about powder sunscreen recommend this mess-free brush that glides over makeup and conveniently “helps reduce shine on a hot day.”
Skin-care

Dermatologists, redditors, and our readers are all devoted fans of this anti-aging serum that we see go on sale only every so often.
New! You can now save this product for later.
We’re also big fans of the brand’s vitamin C serum, which is well tolerated by most skin types thanks to its use of THD ascorbate. It hydrates, brightens, and smoothes lines all at once, so really, you’re getting three skin-care treatments for the price of $64.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Thankfully, Augustinus Bader’s famous (but very expensive) the Rich Cream has the maximum discount, making the smallest size $74. It’s a splurge-worthy pick for those with dry skin and comes recommended by many a celebrity. We often only see it go up to 20 percent off, so this is a very good deal.

Eight dermatologists we interviewed recommend La Roche-Posay’s silky cream face wash for dry skin. Its anti-inflammatory ingredients — ceramides and niacinamide — help balance oil production.

I treat myself to this pricey cleansing oil every once in a while when my skin really needs a deep clean. It melts away every stitch of makeup on my face and, since it has a thicker consistency than others, feels like a therapeutic massage while it pulls out blackheads.

It’s a Strategist best seller almost every month for a reason: K-beauty brand Cosrx’s snail-mucin essence brightens and moisturizes skin without feeling heavy, and it works on almost any skin type. Our readers always stock up when it’s on sale, and you should, too.

Dermstore sales are always a great time to cash in on expensive high-tech tools, like this FDA-cleared light-therapy mask that reduces wrinkles and targets acne.

If you’re running low on acne-busting pimple patches, it’s a good time to restock. Cosrx makes our favorite affordable pair, and right now, they’re even cheaper at $4.50 for a 24-pack. At that price, it’s worth getting several.

These jumbo-size dots zap and sooth zits overnight with salicylic acid, retinol, and aloe vera.
Makeup
New! You can now save this product for later.
One of our favorite foundations for mature skin is 25 percent off. Makeup artist Oseremi Egure says to go for this oil free, skin-like Estée Lauder formula if you like full coverage with a “lightweight, natural finish.”

Several Tarte mascaras are included in the sale, including this tubing mascara, which our friends at the Cut say is easy to use without smudging.

Grande Cosmetics makes some of our favorite mascaras. The GrandeLASH is one of its most famous, promising thicker, longer lashes with consistent use. The travel size is on sale right now, if you want to give it a try.

The brow-enhancing serum is also on sale.

This iconic makeup sponge is one of the most recognizable tools in the game (and it’s constantly getting duped). The Original is rarely on sale, so I suggest shopping this deal before the it’s too late.
Hair-care
New! You can now save this product for later.
Master curly-hair stylist Ash Fritzler says that this conditioner’s pro vitamin B5 ingredient is the secret to hydrated and voluminous curly hair. I typically only see R+Co’s Television conditioner on sale, so this is a rare deal on the Atlantis line.

And if you’re looking to add more hydration and shine to your hair, we like the brand’s Sun Catcher leave-in conditioner. “It helps to soften, seal, detangle, and fight frizz,” says Mark DeBolt, a celebrity colorist, and its scent is very “Le Labo–esque.”

One of the only hair masks beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton has found that is almost as good as Christophe Robin — at a much lower price — is now $10 off. “After about four uses, I noticed my hair felt smoother and less tangled, and was air drying beautifully, instead of turning from wet into a scary broom,” she says.

Act+Acre’s hair-care products are good but expensive, so I’d always recommend grabbing them on sale. The stem-cell scalp serum uses phytonutrients to promote growth and make hair feel fuller over time.
Dental care

Kristen Kish recommends this whitening toothpaste for anyone weaning off of fluoride.
