You may have started the summer with a vanity chock full of your favorite beauty products. But, as the weeks flew by, so too did your must-haves. If you're anything like me, you might even be on the last pump of your go-to Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream (from $96; $72), but don't fret—the Dermstore Anniversary Sale is here to come to your rescue. Running through Aug. 18 at 11:59 pm ET, it gives you plenty of time to shop and save up to 25 percent on *almost* everything at the beauty retailer with coupon code CHEERS. However, you'll need to act fast when it comes to the markdowns on buzzy products like the editor-approved Sunday Riley C.E.O. glow oil and TikTok's favorite Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx eye cream.
From my experience covering (and shopping) this massive beauty sale, I can assure you that you'll find some of the top skincare products, makeup and hair care in the game at seriously good prices—but they will sell out faster than you can say "Add to cart!" In fact, a little birdie told me that the Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD lash enhancing serum (from $68; $51)—which gave one PureWow editor longer, thicker-looking eyelashes in a few weeks—is flying off the shelves RN! But no worries, you still have time to scoop it up for a steal, along with loads more beauty must-haves. Not sure where to start? I've rounded up the 15 best deals below, so make room in your beauty cabinet.

1. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Probably one of the most coveted skincare products included in the sale, this super rich—yet surprisingly lightweight—face cream touts groundbreaking stem cell technology to help your skin regenerate, along with hyaluronic acid for plumping hydration. Many reviewers say they've noticed a reduction in dark spots and firmer, smoother skin textureafter using it. As for me, I love the way it keeps my face glowing all freakin' day. Meanwhile, another PureWow editor credited it for clearing up her skin—fast. "I saw results pretty quickly and assumed it was a placebo effect, if anything," she shared in her review. "But much to my amazement, my skin (which breaks out often) was radiant, blemish-free and so much more hydrated after just a few days of use." While it's on sale for as low as $72 right now, I suggest you spring for the bigger sizes, so you don't have to worry about re-upping anytime soon (because, trust me, you're not going to want to run out).
2. Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Oil
All you need to know about this reader-favorite beauty buy is that PureWow Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak swears that it transformed her skin in just *two* months. You can read all about it in her full review, but here are the biggest takeaways: It not only helped brighten her complexion, but also minimized her dark spots thanks to a high dose of vitamin C (15%, to be exact). According to the brand, additional hero ingredients like golden turmeric and cranberry seed oil work together to hydrate skin for a more youthful appearance. Better yet, when you use this product in the morning, it gives you a glowing base to start your makeup, per Dubyak. So, tell me, how can you not add this wonder to your cart while it's on sale?
3. Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx Eye Cream
Whether or not you've seen the viral TikTok video showing what this stuff could do in under three minutes, you'll want to scoop it up now while it's under $30. That's because when this vitamin C and vitamin E formula is swiped under the eyes, it's been shown to help to reduce crow's feet, fine lines and puffiness in record time. Specifically, as one reviewer explains, "You can feel your skin tightening within seconds, and the effect lasts all day." That's all I needed to hear to snag it for a steal.
4. Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
At this point, you probably know that this PureWow favorite holds a special place in our hearts—and our makeup bags. We consistently wax poetic about how it's made our lashes look longer and thicker in just weeks with its blend of vitamins, peptides and amino acids. Even better, one tube should last up to *three* months, and most buyers say you'll start noticing results within four weeks. But here's why one PureWow editor is obsessed: "After just one month of using this product, my ordinary lashes were suddenly so long that they nearly touched my eyebrow when my eyes were wide open...I have gotten stopped mid-conversation and asked if they’re natural more times than I can count." P.S. We're also fans of the Meghan Markle-approved RevitaLash Advanced eyelash conditioner, and it's on sale for as low as $80 (was $100).
5. Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment
While the Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment may be new to some, it's an oldie but goodie in my book. My fellow editors and I have had better skin days ever since it came into our lives, and if I had to tell you why, I'd just say it's all because of its powerful formula featuring 5% lactic acid, licorice, lemongrass and aloe. Together, the ingredients supposedly work to slough off dead skin cells, clear complexions and boost collagen production. That said, if there's any skincare product you'll definitely want to buy fast during the Dermstore Anniversary Sale, it's this one.
6. Obagi Medical Professional-C Serum
You may have been waiting for the perfect moment to finally give this vitamin C-packed serum a try. And it's a good thing you did, because it's currently marked down from $142 to $114. It may still be a splurge, but buyers think it's worth it for how well it soaks into skin, helping to minimize dark spots and fine lines while giving them a brighter look all around. "This is my ride-or-die vitamin C. I have used it for more than ten years..." one shares. "[It] helps to keep my skin glowing and hydrated. This is a must-buy!"
7. Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector
Is your hair in need of a little TLC? This cult-fave pre-shampoo treatment has helped me strengthen my hair and reduce breakage. And all I had to do was leave it on my damp hair for ten minutes twice a month. Sounds easy, right? Well, before you add this product (with more than 3,000 reviews!) to your cart, you should know its main ingredient is Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, which the brand claims is a patented and proven technology to repair broken bonds for stronger strands. TL;DR? You can't go wrong with this hair treatment, especially if you want to restore your locks from home.
8. Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel Pack
Want to rejuvenate your skin in two easy steps? When used daily, these chemical peel packets are formulated to even out your complexion and deliver a glow you can see from across the room. More specifically, they're soaked with skin-resurfacing glycolic and lactic acids, which the brand says can also help reduce fine lines. Chelsea Candelario, PureWow's beauty and cultures editor, put them to the test and swears that the treatments made her face feel softer and more hydrated than before. So, I have no doubt that they'll make a difference in your skin, and since this pack comes with 60 treatments, you won't need to restock them anytime soon.
9. NuFACE Mini+ Starter Kit
"The first time I used the NuFACE Mini, I swore I saw instant results; four years later, I stand by that," PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida shared in her review of the original gadget. This newer version is slightly smaller, and it connects directly to the brand’s app for more personalized treatments and tracking. More importantly, it stimulates the skin to help tone, lift *and* contour the face almost instantly, has high potential to make your cheekbones pop and your jawline look sharper. Plus, it's compact and convenient for travel (so you can stay looking lifted anywhere), and it comes with the brand's Aqua gel activator and Silk crème, which Maida confirms will help boost the effects. It's a win-win.
10. Tarte Creaseless Concealer
If you're looking for a concealer to effortlessly hide breakouts and dark circles, look no further than this new formula from Tarte. It includes ingredients like maracuja and vitamin C and E, which all work together to do more than just cover your imperfections. Per the brand, the formula is also supposed to provide antioxidant benefits as well as help diminish visible signs of aging. Most impressively, though, it promises up to *16* hours of "hydrated wear" without creasing or caking up, and as its many fans would say, it delivers.
11. Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks
Fit for a queen, these golden eye masks have all the qualities of a luxurious, spa-worthy pick-me-up. For one, they're infused with aloe leaf, calendula, amino acids, which are supposed to soften and relax your undereye area to help you say bye-bye to dark circles. And you only need to leave them on for ten to 15 minutes for them to work their magic. In that case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to scoop up a couple of the six-count packs so you have them on hand for travel days, early mornings and more.
12. Neocutis Lumière Firm Illuminating Tightening Eye Cream
Fine lines and dark circles begone! According to buyers, this buzzed-about eye cream makes under-eyes brighter *and* less puffy with its hydrating combination of hyaluronic acid and caffeine (which, much like your morning coffee, can wake up your skin by increasing circulation). But don't just take my word for it. One reviewer shares, "[It has] helped reduce my eye wrinkles significantly. [It's] the one product that doesn't leave my rotation."
13. Beautyblender Original
If you, like me, rarely use brushes to apply your makeup, you're probably hip to the super soft Beautyblender. But just in case you aren't, I'm here to tell you that it's worth ditching your brushes for. Not only will it help you blend your makeup seamlessly, but it's also super easy to clean, so you can use it over and over and over again. Why else do you think the egg-shaped sponge has a fan club of more than 1,000 reviewers and counting? As one shares, "This is the best tool to apply under-eye concealer. Blends [great]. No other sponge compares. I've tried cheaper [versions], but they are not the same quality." I couldn't agree more, so you know what to do.
14. Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
Got clogged skin from all those products you've been using this summer? You're not the only one. Thankfully, these exfoliating facial pads can come to your rescue. Thanks to patented Tri-Enzyme technology, lactic acid and probiotics, the product helps to gently exfoliate the skin while promoting cells' natural turnover. No, I'm not kidding. One buyer raves, "My skin feels so soft and my breakouts are far less often and less severe. [The pads are] like getting a facial every day but much more economical!" Say no more. I'm stocking up as we speak.
15. Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel Pack
Your self-care ritual will never be the same once you get in on this foot peel that, as its name suggests, leaves your feet feeling baby soft. Better yet, you can treat your feet during your Netflix binge, as you just have to slip on the boots for two hours and let the glycolic, malic and lactic acids get to work resurfacing the area. Just keep in mind that the brand says you may not notice a difference immediately, but over the next week or so, any hardened, dead skin should begin to slough off, leaving your feet smooth, soft and ready to show off in those new sandals.
