The 22 Best Items to Buy During Dermstore's Beauty Sale, According to an Editor
I'll cut right to the chase. Dermstore is having a major sale right now. I repeat: Dermstore is having a major sale right now. Even though I'm a beauty editor and am blessed with the opportunity to test hundreds of beauty products as part of my job, I still feel a fresh sense of excitement when I'm faced with a discount—especially when it's somewhere like Dermstore, where I go to peruse for new products (read: purchase new products like the concept of money doesn't exist).
From now through March 10, you can get up to 20% off and double Dermstore points on top skincare, haircare, and makeup brands. All you have to do is use the code REFRESH at checkout. And I think you should treat it as just that, a refresh. After all, spring is on its way, and in the spirit of the season, I say it's time to bring a breath of fresh air into your beauty routine. Whether you need to stock up on old standbys or want to find new faves, I got you. Ahead, see the 22 items I'm shopping for during the Dermstore Beauty Refresh Sale.
Let's kick things off with this iconic product, which is currently on sale for 15% off. That might not sound like a lot, but when you consider its normal $290 price tag, it's a big deal. So if there was ever a time to see what all the fuss is about, it's now. The brand promises you'll see a reduction in signs of aging, environmental damage, dullness, texture, and more.

LED light therapy has long been used by estheticians and dermatologists to benefit the skin. This at-home device features three colors. There's blue, which can be used on acne-prone skin to minimize breakout activity. There's red, which is great for calming redness and minimizing signs of aging. And finally, there's green, which is used for pigmentation.

If your hair is showing signs of damage like breakage and split ends, do your strands a favor and coat them in this ultra-moisturizing hair mask. With ingredients such as B vitamins, algae extract, and rosehip and almond oils, it breathes new life into dull, damaged hair.

This product went viral on TikTok and Instagram thanks to its pore-minimizing and blackhead-clearing powers. It's all thanks to 2% salicylic acid, a BHA that can penetrate deep into the pores to clear blockages. There's also green tea to soothe inflammation and shield against free radical damage.

These eye patches are so cool. They use ever-so-small, dissolvable microneedles to push peptides and antioxidants deep into the skin (with no pain or downtime). After using these, you'll notice wrinkles, fine lines, and texture are minimized.

I'm convinced everyone can benefit from a good hair oil, and this one is a personal favorite. It uses vitamin E, Kalahari melon-seed oil, gardenia-flower extract, and brown algae to intensely moisturize, soften, and smooth each strand. It also gives my dull hair a nice, healthy shine.

This French classic is the ultimate moisturizer. (Trust me—it got me through more than one Michigan winter.) Shea butter, soy proteins, and fatty acids support the skin barrier, and the milky texture basically melts into the skin. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time.

If you have oily skin, this mattifying moisturizer can help. It contains oil-absorbing ingredients like perlite and silica, so it will help control excess oil production throughout the day. It's also oil-free (so it won't contribute to the problem), noncomedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin. Ingredients such as ceramides, niacinamide, and glycerin give the skin a hit of healthy—but not shiny—hydration.

If you haven't tried microcurrent therapy before, I highly recommend it.

For me, this at-home microcurrent device visibly lifts my brows and cheekbones.

Another beauty-editor favorite, this dry shampoo uses oat milk to soothe the hair and scalp, and corn and rice starch remove excess dirt, oil, and odor. Thanks to its natural mineral pigments, it blends into dark hair easily.
