A Shopping Editor’s Guide to the Dermstore Anniversary Sale

I have a bathroom counter overflowing with beauty products, but I could always use one or two (maybe even three) more. It’s in my job description to test new things, and I’ll often restock my favorites. Luckily, the Dermstore Anniversary Sale has kicked off with up to 25 percent off my favorites from sunscreens to devices. It’s a lot of product, and all you need is the code CHEERS.

I’d recommend starting with skin care and saving on pricey brands like Augustinus Bader, then moving on to drugstore favorites like La Roche-Posay. Always browse the SPFs. And last but not least, check out the devices, like hair dryers or LED face masks, because I guarantee at least one you’ve wanted to try is on sale now.

I’ve done my browsing and several tabs later, I have everything worth shopping for and restocking during the Dermstore Anniversary Sale. Read on to shop my picks.
