20 Beauty Buys to Snag From Dermstore's Anniversary Sale
Ring the alarm: It’s time for the annual Dermstore Anniversary Sale, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my cart full for weeks in anticipation. For 10 days only, so many of the beauty mega-retailer's editor-favorite brands are up to 30% off—we’re talking Sunday Riley, Harry Josh Pro Tools, Living Proof, and countless others.
The sale begins today, August 8, and ends August 17, so don’t miss your chance to shop these and so many more rarely discounted products while you can using the code CELEBRATE. As a bonus, if you’re part of Dermstore’s rewards program, you can earn up to three times the points when you shop certain items, too.
In other words, it’s officially time to stock up on old favorites as well as those products you’ve been thinking about but haven't tried yet. And since I’ve been preparing (or some may say, over-preparing) for the sale for weeks, I went ahead and rounded up 20 product picks I’m eyeing. Keep scrolling to see what I’ll be adding to my shopping cart during this epic beauty sale event.
Harry Josh Pro Tools: 30% Off (Price as Marked)
Celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh’s tools are known for their fun mint-green color—and for being some of the absolute best on the market. All of them are a whopping 30% off during the sale, so there’s no time like the present to scoop up this three-in-one curling iron.
Living Proof: 25% Off (Select Products)
I don’t know about you, but my frizz situation has been off the charts this summer. That’s why I’ve got my eye on this hair mask, which not only deeply hydrates hair, but also prevents static and flyaways thanks to the brand’s patented Healthy Hair Molecule.
Boscia: 25% Off (Select Products)
You really can’t go wrong with any of this beloved K-beauty brand’s skincare products. But its cleansing oil that somehow magically removes every speck of makeup and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated is a forever fave.
Briogeo: 25% Off
The only thing to love more than Briogeo’s amazing hair cleansers? The fact that they’re offered in a mega-size. Packed with avocado oil, shea butter, and quinoa extract, this gentle and moisturizing co-wash is worth going for the full 16 ounce option.
Wander Beauty: 25% Off
When’s the last time you replaced your mascara? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Freshen up your makeup bag with this volumizing and lengthening formula made with nourishing castor oil. Bonus: It’s waterproof!
Christophe Robin: 25% Off
Part shampoo, part scalp treatment, this scalp scrub reached cult-favorite status long before "scalp care” became a thing. It’s pretty much a must-buy if you’re dealing with product buildup and/or excess oil.
Oribe: 25% Off
If you haven’t tried this multipurpose hair product, consider this sale a sign (FYI: A bottle of it is sold every 60 seconds). Whether used as a dry shampoo or for adding a bit of grit and texture to your hair, you’ll reach for it daily.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare: 20% Off
As a society, we may not have created a product that literally wipes away acne, but these pads come pretty close. With glycolic, lactic and malic acids, they exfoliate skin and clear pores while willowbark extract keeps skin soothed. (Note: The discount on this brand only lasts five days, so get on that!)
PMD: 20% Off Select Products
The PMD facial brush is a best-seller, but hear me out on the body brush: One side features a silicone brush to deep clean, while the other can be swapped out with loofah, massage, and exfoliating attachments. It’s luxe, but worth it.
NuFace: 20% Off
It’s hard to briefly sum up what this little microcurrent tool does, but it’s a favorite of derms and skin influencers for a reason. Use it for five minutes a day with the included primer gel to stimulate the skin and facial muscles, revealing glowier, more lifted skin. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to give it a shot.
Slip: 20% Off
At this point, Slip pillowcases are pretty much synonymous with beauty sleep. For max savings, I’m going for the set, which also includes the brand's Insta-famous (and equally soft) eye mask.
Sunday Riley: 20% Off
The brand recently launched its first sunscreen—a blend of physical and chemical actives—and the crowds went wild. You can read my full review here, but at 20% off all you need to know is that it’s worth stocking up on a tube (or two).
Kate Somerville: 20% Off
Celebs like Olivia Culpo and Sam Smith trust Kate Somerville with their skin, so you know her products are good. This gentle exfoliant is one of the brand’s best-sellers and leaves skin with that just-left-the-spa glow.
Tula Skincare: 20% Off
I keep one of these eye balms in my medicine cabinet and purse because you never know when you’ll need a boost of brightening (and the instant cooling sensation is straight-up addictive). Puffy eyes? I don’t know her.
Fur: 20% Off
Emma Watson famously uses this product, which softens body hair and prevents ingrowns. And yes, it’s meant for pubic hair, but TBH, you can use it all over.
Skyn Iceland: 20% Off
If I could have an endless supply of these refreshing, travel-friendly eye masks, I would find a way to make that happen. Since I can’t, this sale is a great way to get my personal stash in a good place.
RMS Beauty: 20% Off
‘Tis the season for highlighter—although when is it not? This creamy, not-too-shimmery shade is loaded with skin-loving ingredients like coconut oil and vitamin E. Plus, it somehow looks perfect on just about everyone.
Herbivore Botanicals: 15% Off
Herbivore products are so fantastic and beautifully packaged, sometimes I just sigh looking at them. Its sapphire-colored, skin-clarifying facial oil contains a mix of acne-fighting azulene and hydrating squalane, and at 15%, off it’s a little easier on the wallet.
Koh Gen Do: 15% Off
Does anything sound more luxurious than cleansing spa water? I think not. This micellar water is sourced from Japanese hot springs and pumped up with mineral-rich white birch sap so it enriches skin as it removes makeup, oil, and other impurities.
Skinceuticals: Three Times the Rewards Points
Good news and bad news: The good news is that buying this celeb-loved antioxidant serum earns you three times the points in your Dermstore rewards account. The bad news is that there’s no additional discount, but trust me—it’s worth the investment.
PS: More big news! We designed a clothing line, and we're freaking out.
