Today is a good news day, because the Skinstitut Black Friday sale is here. So if you want to try our bestsellers for a bargain, or stock up on your summer skin staples, now’s the time to fill your cart.
Feeling overwhelmed? We get it. That’s why we’ve gone to the effort of pulling together five of the very best Black Friday skincare deals available on our website right now.
Where to begin? Glycolic Scrub 14% is a hero product for countless reasons and has been one of our bestsellers since day dot. The unique formula is both a physical (i.e. ‘scrubby’) exfoliant and a chemical one, working to smooth, decongest and brighten your skin.
The ocean-safe formula contains rounded Jojoba Beads – no microbeads, ever – plus Glycolic Acid to unstick and remove expired surface cells. It’s also purifying, thanks to the inclusion of Tea Tree Oil. The softening effects are immediate, but Glycolic Scrub 14% also works long-term to prevent congestion, dullness and rough texture.
Bonus: it’s great value in more ways than one. Glycolic Scrub 14% is fantastic for your face, but it can also be used to:
- Prevent ingrown hairs
- Treat Keratosis Pilaris on the upper arms
- Prep skin for fake tan
- As a lip scrub
- To reduce body acne
This is the kind of cleanser that works for everyone. It’s gentle and hydrating, but it contains Lactic Acid to ever so gently resurface for fresh, glowy skin. Use it morning and night, and be sure to massage it in for at least 60 seconds so the Lactic Acid has time to work its magic.
There’s not much this daily face moisturiser can’t do. This lightweight, readily absorbed formula helps to regulate excess sebum production without clogging pores, while a potent blend of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanical extracts fortify, calm and soothe skin.
Stocking up on sunscreen during the Black Friday sale is a no-brainer (a broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable). Age Defence SPF 50+ has a creamy, hydrating formula that nourishes dry skin; if you’re oily, or prefer a lighter texture, try our Face The Day SPF 50+ instead.
Enzymatic Micro Peel is unique in that it offers extremely gentle skin-brightening exfoliation. If you’re super dry, reactive or a little scared of exfoliation, it’s the formula for you. We use Enzymes from papaya instead of acids, so you get smooth, glowing skin with zero risk of irritation. It’s also perfect to use as a pre-party treatment.
