Make Haste—14 Farmacy Products I Constantly Recommend Are on Major Sale RN
Since becoming a beauty editor, I haven't shut up about how good Farmacy Beauty products are. But rarely does the opportunity to receive a nice discount on the brand's offerings roll around. Thanks to Farmacy Beauty's Friends and Family sale, however, that day is today! Use the code SAVEBIG to take 20% off all full-sized products and sets until April 13. I advise you to make haste as these items will be full price on Friday.
If you haven't given Farmacy Beauty a spin just yet, let me share some background on my experience with the brand. It remains a consistent favorite of mine, even though I've worked as a beauty editor for years. The formulas are clean, incredibly effective, and, in my opinion, extremely well-priced. It was one of the first skincare brands I used that wasn't harsh but still worked incredibly well for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I think it even rivals some high-end brands and is less than half the price. But, enough talking. If you're looking to stock up on your Farmacy Beauty favorites or want to try a few new things, I've got you covered. Scroll through, and happy shopping!
Even as a beauty editor who tries hundreds of cleansing balms, I always come back to this one. Nothing removes my makeup as quickly and easily without irritating or drying out my sensitive skin. It's also fantastic for those who are acne-prone because it's one of the few cleansing balms that is completely free of any comedogenic ingredients. I can't recommend it enough.
Dark spots are truly no match for this potent formula. Containing azelaic acid, 3% tranexamic acid, and 5% polyhydroxy acid, it lifts away pigmentation, dissolves dead skin, and clarifies active breakouts. I know it sounds like it contains too many acids to be gentle, but trust me, it is. It works well even for my sensitive, reactive skin.
While my skincare routine changes almost monthly due to the nature of my job, here's a fun fact: This was one of the first cleaners I tried as a beauty writer, and it's still a favorite! At the time, I was shocked. I'd never found a cleanser that cleared my skin but didn't contain harsh actives like benzoyl peroxide. This cleanser changed all that for me. It's so gentle on the skin, doesn't dry you out, and easily helps clear breakouts with papaya enzymes and detoxifying green clay.
I used prescription-strength tretinoin for years before trying this retinol from Farmacy. Let's just say my sensitive skin was a lot happier once I switched to this gentle formula. I love that it contains ceramides to really hydrate and repair skin but is still effective enough to clear active blemishes and fade fine lines and dark spots.
The glow is absolutely real when you use this product. This was also one of the first Farmacy Beauty products I tried, and I couldn't get over how smooth and radiant my skin was after one night of use. A powerful blend of lactic, glycolic, and fruit acids resurface the skin without drying it out thanks to hyaluronic acid and a proprietary honey blend that is also present in the formula.
I'm huge on vitamin C serums, and this one from Farmacy Beauty doesn't disappoint. In addition to a stable form of vitamin C, it contains upcycled tangerine peel and sugar beet to boost the skin's moisture levels for extra radiance.
This cleanser works wonders on dry skin. It includes naturally derived ingredients like coconut, sugar, and amino acids to gently remove surface impurities. Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and antioxidant-rich honey reinforce the moisture barrier.
If you struggle with hyperpigmentation, niacinamide is a star ingredient you should definitely try adding to your routine. It fades dark spots and even helps with active blemishes. With 10% niacinamide, panthenol, and beta-glucan, this mask balances oil production and soothes and protects skin while evening out tone.
My skincare routine is never complete without a good face oil. This one is packed with Farmacy Beauty's proprietary honey blend, sea buckthorn, omega fatty acids, and a five-flower oil blend to give skin an otherworldly glow. As a bonus, it can also be used on your hair.
If you use retinoids or other drying acne medications, this hydrating mask is for you. It provides soothing comfort to irritated or damaged skin with honey, ceramides, propolis, vitamin B, and amino acid-rich royal jelly. I've been dealing with skin barrier damage for quite some time after being too aggressive with tretinoin (lesson learned). This mask has been a God send and has helped my skin recover so much quicker. I also love that it contains no pore-clogging ingredients, so it's safe for use on breakout-prone skin.
New to the brand and not sure where to start? This kit of best sellers is your best bet. It includes mini-sizes of all the best Farmacy Beauty offerings (in my humble opinion), so you can give them a test run to see if they're truly for you.
This skin-plumping serum contains multiple weights of hyaluronic acid to penetrate all layers of the skin, while a collagen-producing peptide gives your complexion a youthful glow.
Those with dry skin will love this cream rich in honey and ceramide. It locks in moisture and replenishes the skin barrier with shea butter and vitamin E.
This purifying set contains another favorite of mine: Deep Sweep. It's a great daily exfoliant that's super gentle and soothes red or irritated skin. Daily Greens is also a fantastic moisturizer for oily or acne-prone skin since it's a lighter gel formula.
