Ulta’s Love Your Skin sale end Saturday night, so you’ve only got a few more days to get a good deal on tons of skin-brightening and moisture-boosting serums, creams, and more. The final week of the sale features a new batch of select products from popular brands for 30 percent off, and each day, you’ll find a small selection of items that are 50 percent off for 24 hours only.
I’ve gone through all of this week’s deals to find the very best ones. (Of note: All of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost collection and Garnier’s micellar waters.) I’ve not included any of the half-off daily deals, since they’ll change daily, but you can see each day’s deals here. Amazon is price matching most of the deals, too, so I’ve included those links where applicable.

Our best overall moisturizer, Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost has been recommended to us over and over again and has earned a spot in pretty much every moisturizer roundup we’ve published, whether for oily, dry, combination, mature, sunburned, or acne-prone skin. Its lightweight yet hydrating formula, which contains hyaluronic acid and glycerin to attract water to the skin, as well as its accessible price point, make it a hit with many of the dermatologists we’ve spoken to over the years.
We featured this #BeautyTok-famous lip “tattoo” in our makeup gift guide last month. Once applied, the formula peels off to leave a long-lasting stain that won’t fade or rub away.
If you’re considering gua sha (which we highly recommend you do), a stainless-steel tool is a good way to go. It’s self-cooling (making it particularly excellent for combatting puffiness) and very durable, and it has antibacterial properties (which is great for those who are acne prone).
Photographer Tina Barney told us that she prefers Clinique’s classic, no-frills moisturizer above all else.
In our guide to taking care of post-Accutane skin, dermatologist Joshua Zeichner recommends using a mild micellar cleanser like this one for removing makeup or excess oil. “It contains tiny oil droplets called micelles that trap and remove dirt from the skin and has skin-hydrating aloe and hyaluronic acid,” he says.
This nice-looking toner from clean-beauty brand Indie Lee is formulated with plant extracts like aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, and sage. It’s said to protect your skin barrier from environmental pollutants.
Our friends at the Cut recommend this ultraaffordable eye cream for treating dark circles on a budget.
I’m always on the hunt for the perfect mineral sunscreen, and this one may just join my ever-growing list of contestants. Apparently, it’s a bit iridescent, too, which is good news for a glitter-loving gal like myself.
All Juice Beauty products are 30 percent off at Ulta, but I found the brand’s best-selling moisturizer for half off at Amazon. It’s formulated with antioxidant-rich grape juice, vitamin C, and jojoba oil, all of which improve skin hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
