What Our Editors Are Buying From Dermstore's Anniversary Sale 2020

"I am a creature of habit, so once I find a skin care product I like, I stick with it. Such is my love for this charcoal cleanser from Boscia. I've been using it for years, because it's the only face wash I've found that actually deeply cleans my skin. It cleared up the small bumps and uneven texture of my skin left behind from old cleaners that only removed impurities at the surface, not deep down. Because it's made with charcoal, it could be too drying on already dry skin types — and might not be recommended for dry winter skin. But in the summer, I find it's perfect for removing sunscreen, sweat and grim. Did I mention that the activated charcoal is warming when you rub it together in your hands?" — Brittany Nims, Head of HuffPost Finds

"This is my tried and true, ride-or-die, favorite lip balm ever. It's technically a lip conditioner, which is a much fancier way of saying that it's especially effective if you've got really chapped lips. There's no hint of a hue in this balm, making it easy to apply and reapply throughout the day as you feel like it. I use it during the day but I've found that it works best at night. I wake up with lips that are ready for any product to be put on them. And you really can't beat out the under $10 price tag during Dermstore's sale." — Ambar Pardilla, Commerce Writer

"I was introduced to COSRX products when I first started dabbling with a Korean skin care routine, and they never disappoint. I use this COSRX Low pH Good Morning Cleanser every night as the second step in my double cleanse and have never strayed. It foams up to deep clean my pores and leaves my skin feeling super clean but never stripped." — Danielle Gonzalez, Associate Commerce Editor

"I discovered this serum over a year ago, when we were all trying to figure out what the heck Vitamin C serum does for the skin. For the uninitiated, Vitamin C serum sloughs away dead skin cells, so it leads to brighter skin and less noticeable dark spots. I particularly love Sunday Riley's CEO Vitamin C serum because it smells heavenly — like an orange orchard. And now that my skin care routine is stripped down because I'm mostly working at home, I'm more willing to spend on splurgy skin care than usual. It's pricey, so I don't buy it often, but for 20% off, I might be tempted to stock up." — Nims

Normally $85, on sale for $68 at Dermstore.

"I always like having a face mist on hand to get through the summer. I've been using a rosewater one from Trader Joe's recently but I'm going to switch it up and get Caudalie's Grape Water on sale, which I've already found and loved in the past. It's refreshing but doesn't leave my face feeling sticky. It doesn't move any of my makeup around. And probably, best of all, it has this calming smell that's sweet but not overpowering. I like spraying a bit on the back of my neck when it's super hot." — Pardilla

Normally $18, on sale for $14 at Dermstore.

"This is probably the most unusual product in my skin care suite but one of the most effective. I smear two pumps of this cool, slimy serum across my skin after toner and before moisturizer and it leaves me with a dewy complexion. I've noticed it's helped even skin tone and fade away acne scars." — Gonzalez
