It’s that special time of year again: the Sephora Savings Event! From Nov. 1 through 11, Sephora will be offering a sitewide discount for its Beauty Insiders. However, the discount and what days it’s offered will vary by Beauty Insider tier. Rouge members will get 20% off during the entirety of the sale. Those in the VIB tier will get 15% off, while the Insiders will get 10% off; both offers are from Nov. 5 to 11. And everyone can get 30% off the Sephora Collection at any time during the sale. This is both online and in stores.
To get the discount during the Sephora Savings Event, make sure you use the code SAVINGS.
If you’re interested in shopping the Sephora Savings Event but have no idea where to start, CNET’s wellness editors have rounded up our favorite Sephora wellness products that we actually use and want to purchase again. Below, you’ll find our top picks, which cover everything from our favorite facial sunscreens to moisturizers.
The best Sephora sale products, according to wellness editors
“I have chronically dry skin, and this oil helps my face feel instantly hydrated and rejuvenated without being overly greasy or shiny. I love the subtle glow it gives!” — Aly Lopez, sleep writer
“The SOS Daily Skin Barrier Redness Recovery moisturizer by Tower 28 Beauty is formulated with gentle ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and allantoin that are great for sensitive skin. It’s also noncomedogenic, alcohol-free and fragrance-free. It’s the only moisturizer that doesn’t exacerbate my eczema.” — Caroline Igo, sleep editor
“I received a sample of this product and can’t stop thinking about it. Though I was able to stretch out the sample over a week or two, I now permanently want this serum in my collection and have been waiting for it to go on sale. Containing argan and tsubaki oils, along with vitamin C ester for smoothing, the Night Body Serum has the most lovely consistency and leaves your skin feeling and looking radiant. I used it on my legs after showering and was impressed with how hydrated my skin felt.” — Anna Gragert, wellness editor
“They quit making this for a while, but it’s now available again! I prefer mineral sunscreens and like this brand because it leaves less of a white cast and is less chalky to apply than other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. Plus, while it’s only SPF 30, it seems to do its job at keeping my (pale) face from burning. Sephora’s website says it’s vegan.” — Jessica Rendall, wellness writer
“This is another sample I received that I really enjoyed. The konjac jelly works as a great gentle exfoliant, while the avocado oil is moisturizing and doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry post-exfoliation. I also love the Find Comfort scent (which is warm and woody with a touch of lemon zest), but if you’re sensitive to fragrance, this product might not be for you.” — Anna Gragert, wellness editor
“I’ve used the Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil off and on for about 15 years. Not only is the smell incredible, but it leaves my hair feeling shiny and healthy — not greasy at all. A little goes a long way with this product. I apply a small amount to the ends of my hair when it’s slightly damp, which helps keep it smooth and frizz-free once it dries. It’s also a great heat protectant.” — Aly Lopez, sleep writer
“I am very picky about sunscreen because I have sensitive skin, but this Isdin one has never given me a problem. With no white cast, no weird texture and no pilling, this sunscreen also contains DNA Repairsomes to address existing sun damage and added vitamin E to boost your skin’s natural defenses. Plus, it’s on CNET’s best facial sunscreens list.” — Anna Gragert, wellness editor
“I don’t currently use this product, but have in the past and I’ve liked it. Paula’s Choice is a solid brand and this retinol serum also includes vitamin C and peptides for a skin-smoothing effect. The jury seems to still be out on whether over-the-counter retinol products like this one are worth the money, since they’re a weaker version of the prescription-grade retinoid you can get from a dermatologist, but this may be a good product for someone wanting to get their foot in the retinol door.” — Jessica Rendall, wellness writer
“A hairdresser convinced me to purchase this hair milk a few years ago and I’m still using that same bottle. After washing, I tend to run this through my hair when I feel like it needs a boost, and it always leaves my locks looking and feeling their best. Along with preventing damage, controlling frizz and providing shine and softness, this product gives thermal protection up to 446 degrees F. I will note that it has a strong, woodsy scent that I enjoy, but if fragrance isn’t your vibe, this may not work for you.” — Anna Gragert, wellness editor
