My Skincare Routine Keeps Me Glowing—Meet 10 Dermstore Anniversary Sale Products I Can’t Live Without
Luxe skincare for a fraction of the price
Summer sale season always gives my credit card a workout, but if I’m talking about upgrading my skincare routine (which is kinda, sorta always), there’s really only one that truly piques my interest: the Dermstore Anniversary Sale, which offers up to 25 percent off a variety of award-winning beauty products from brands like SkinMedica, EltaMD, Medik8, and more. In other words, the heavy-hitter brands.
True beauty nerds know that if you want to invest in high-quality formulas that even your dermatologist loves to keep stocked in her bathroom, this is the retailer to browse. I’m talking skin-brightening superstars, clinically proven peptide formulas, and beauty tools that are actually worth the investment to revitalize your skin. With fall just around the corner (the season when I spend the most time in the treatment chair getting Pico laser and Fraxel), I want to make sure that my epidermis is prepped and in top-top shape. Plus, with a handful of last-minute beach getaways, I don’t exactly feel like applying a ton of foundation or contour—I’d much rather let my skin take center stage.
If you’re in the market for some new and entirely worthwhile skincare goodies, here’s everything I’m snagging at the 2026 Dermstore Anniversary Sale, which runs from now until August 13th.
Peptide Powder
Few skincare ingredients are receiving the type of buzz that peptides are right now, and for good reason—they’re basically the hardworking icons of your beauty routine, whether you want more hydration, a collagen boost, or to smooth fine lines.
Boasting “filler-in-a-bottle” benefits, this industry-beloved formula leaves my skin so juicy and radiant with every use. It also manages to iron out my smile lines, as a few other topicals can.
Gimme Growth Factors
Growth factors are another one of those super science-y ingredients that sound incredible but require an exemplary formula to actually do anything for your skin. Whether you’re reaching for epidermal growth factor (EGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF), the results have to be seen to be believed.
I’ve lost count of how many times the Marie Claire beauty team has recommended this growth factor serum. A superstar for firming and rejuvenating the skin, it’s the next best thing to sitting in Dr. Diamond’s LA chair for an in-office treatment.
Excellent Exosomes
A quick reminder: exosomes deliver proteins that help your skin repair, increase hydration, and boost collagen production, a.k.a. everything you need to achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion. Another human-derived ingredient that has made the jump from in-office treatments to at-home routines, exosomes are quickly becoming my new skincare essential.
I can’t even begin to describe how juicy and supple my skin looks when I add this serum to my nighttime routine. With human-derived stem cells and exosomes, it helps to repair the skin barrier, increase radiance, and minimize signs of visible aging, all with a deliciously silky smooth texture.
If you want a serious at-home treatment that rivals a trip to your plastic surgeon, I highly recommend this tightening and lifting regimen. The four-week course of exosomes (delivered via microspicules in an overnight mask) is the closest I’ve ever come to professional microneedling results, without multiple trips to a professional.
(S)Unforgettable Sunscreens
It’s true that the best sunscreen is the one that you’re willing to wear consistently, and while I wish the most elegant formulas (in the US at least) didn’t tend to have a higher price point, I won’t lie and say I’m not a fan of a luxury SPF.
The OG formula that never fails me: I recommend this sunscreen to anyone who claims to hate the feeling of SPF on their skin. It rubs in like a dream and has zero white cast even though it’s a mineral formula (which is ideal for the melasma girlies like me).
Another jaw-dropping mineral SPF, this formula launched earlier this year, and I still can’t quite believe how beautiful it looks on the skin. With a silky soft feel and zero trace of white zinc, I slather this on my face, neck, chest, hands—anywhere that’s receiving sun exposure—every damn day.
Elevate with LED
Investing in an LED device can be worth it as long as you use it consistently. That’s why I not only look for products that have clinically-proven benefits but are also comfortable and easy to use—otherwise, you just bought a funky-looking paperweight.
How easy is it to just replace your shower head with a red light filter? This type of treatment has been proven to stimulate the follicles to boost hair growth, which is always a top priority for me. Hair thinning? Never met her, especially now that this is in my shower.
I use this LED mask at least five days a week to increase collagen production, minimize acne-causing bacteria, and generally feel like I’m adding the final step in my glow-boosting skincare routine. If you’re willing to commit to regular use, an LED mask is definitely a worthwhile investment.
