Being an ecommerce writer means that the thing I love most – skincare shopping – is also the thing I do for a living. Browsing through all the creams, serums, oils, and masks while researching products is one of my favorite things to do (you can add these to the long list of products I want to try), and it gets even more exciting when there’s a huge sale on them all, like right now.
Sephora’s biannual Beauty Insider Sale is officially back for fall, and since the discounts go up to 20% off sitewide , it’s been marked on my work (and personal) calendar for months. In fact, I was so excited about the last sale that took place this past April that I browsed the Sephora site for five hours straight before the deal went live. (And I really mean the whole site-the number of open browser tabs caused my laptop to crash temporarily.
But it was worth it. My research has allowed me to gather a list of the best anti-aging products ever to shop from sales. I recreated my process so that I could also get the best skincare products for winter, but I specifically looked for moisturizing picks that would help during the cold months. From brands like Caudalie and SK-II to Instagram-friendly brands like Drunk Elephant , there’s something for every skincare need and budget. Sephora’s VIBRouge members can get 20% off everything with code HOLIDAYFUN (prices listed below), while VIB and Beauty Insider members (both of which are free) can sign up for 15% and 10% off, respectively. I’m sure you’ll agree.
Youth to People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser
Youth to the People brings the best clean beauty anti-aging products to the masses at affordable prices. Its Superfood Anti-Oxidant Cleanser is no exception. It gently washes away dirt and buildup without stripping the skin of moisture (something you don’t want to do, especially in dry winter weather), while infusing it with vitamins C and E and kale leaf extract. It has a 4.3-star rating from shoppers and you can read this cleanser review before buying.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
SK-II Treatment Essence was popular in the Asian beauty market for years before it took the world by storm, and now it’s a celebrity crowd favorite. The toner, which follows after the cleanser and before the serum, uses its trademark ingredient, Pitera, to reduce the appearance of dark spots and soften fine lines caused by dryness (which is also an even more important issue in cold weather). Since it is rarely on sale, there is no better time to try what shoppers call magic in a bottle.
L&L Skin MIO2 Face Lifting Massage
Features an ergonomical design of three angles and three arcs. Using the three-round corners to press the acupuncture point, you can choose to apply either light or heavy pressure. The three convex arcs fit any curves and the three-dimensional lift perfects the anti-aging effect. The round triangular three-arc design allows for comfort, and each part can be used uniquely to care for either the face or neck.

Summer Friday CCMe Vitamin C Serum
Summer Friday’s multi-tasking vitamin C serum is packed with glow-inducing ingredients like niacinamide and hydrating powerhouses like glycerin and squalane.

Reviewers with dry, sensitive skin have touted this as the first vitamin C serum. It leaves the skin brighter, more even-toned, and smoother without causing redness or irritation.
Pharmacy Honey Hello Ultra Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer
For those who are still dealing with oily skin in the winter, a nourishing moisturizer from Pharmacy can help.

This formula also contains ceramides and royal jelly blend of honey, making it one of the most effective moisturizers you can buy.

According to a brand survey, 95% of women feel their skin is brighter after 56 days. Equally impressive is the fact that 90 percent of reviewers recommend this overnight cream, which has a 4.6-star rating at Sephora.
Glamglow Youthmud Glow Stimulating & Exfoliating Treatment Mask
One of the biggest anti-aging concerns is dullness caused by the slow natural skin cell turnover associated with aging. That’s why exfoliants are the key to anti-aging products, and when combined with another hero ingredient like the pore cleansing mud in this mask, what you have is nothing short of a complete game changer. Youth Mud’s kaolin mud and volcanic rock exfoliant gently remove dead skin cell buildup, while green tea leaf extract adds an antioxidant-rich brightness boost.

A good facial oil is arguably the most important step in skin care hydration Winter is coming. One of the best options is another clean beauty brand, Herbivore’s Phoenix Cell Regenerating Oil. It’s made for dry, sensitive skin, and its blend of rosehip oil, chia seed oil, and vitamin E leaves skin feeling soft but not sticky. Shoppers call it the Holy Grail, and many say it has saved their skin. According to reviewers, I really feel it has made a huge difference in my skin.

Yes, You Can Still Benefit from Facial Oils Even if you have combination or oily skin, Youth to the People’s is one of the best dry oils that won’t cause breakouts.

Ilaria Super Serum Skin Tint SPF40 Foundation
The sun may be playing hide and seek in the winter, but that doesn’t mean you don’t still need sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Of course, having to take extra steps on a cold early winter morning can be a hassle, so it’s a good time to invest in an all-in-one product like Ilaria’s Skin Tint. Sure, the bottle may say it’s a foundation, but this customer-favorite product is more like a moisturizer, serum, and sunscreen all in one. Not only does it contain moisturizing ingredients such as squalane, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, but it’s also made with SPF 40 Zinc Oxide Sunscreen It gives you an extra layer of protection. It’s great for days when you need light coverage but don’t want to bother cleaning your foundation brush (we’ve all been there).
