A new season calls for a new beauty routine *and* an epic sale. That said, I hope you're ready to shop and save on some of the most coveted products because the Dermstore Summer Sale has officially arrived, and it is your best (and maybe only) chance to buy buzzy beauty products for a steal before summer. Just hear me out: Not only can you save up to 20 percent on almost everything with coupon code SUN (including a ton of cult-favorite and editor-approved brands, from Augustinus Bader to Sunday Riley and RevitaLash), but since the sale is running from May 16 through May 26, you have plenty of time to complete a shopping spree (or two) before it's too late.

If you're anything like me, though, you won't want to wait to start restocking your vanity, so listen up! You'll find some of the best scores in the Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream (from $98; $78), T3 Aire IQ intelligent hair dryer ($400; $320) and Kai eau de parfum ($84; $67), so you should start adding those to your cart, stat. I can keep going, but since this Dermstore sale isn't going to last forever, you'd better get going to secure the 20 best summer beauty deals below.

There's a reason why celebs and PureWow editors alike are obsessed with Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream, and it all has to do with its nourishing formula that tackles fine lines and blemishes like a pro. Since it is pricey (and doesn't often go on sale), it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab a bottle or two of this editor-tested moisturizer that even I can attest makes my skin glow from the inside out (for real, my family constantly tells me that my skin looks like glass). The product uses groundbreaking stem cell technology, along with a proprietary blend of vitamins and amino acids, to support skin regeneration, per the brand. It's also chock-full of other skin-loving ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, which helps to provide plenty of plumping hydration. Trust, you won't regret it.

A former PureWow editor credited this serum for brightening her skin and minimizing her dark spots in a flash—just read her full review. The benefits come courtesy of a high dose of vitamin C, golden turmeric and evening primrose oil. Not to mention, she said, when you use this product in the morning, it leaves you with a glowing base to start your makeup. "You can also use this at night as well as before you head to bed," she added, to wake up with brighter skin. I don't know about you, but it sure sounds like a must-have to me.

Meghan Markle swears by this lash serum, and so do our editors. It's formulated with peptides, biotin, lipids and green tea extracts, which purportedly work together to condition, strengthen and protect your lashes so they stay on fleek. The formula is also meant to improve the flexibility and shine of your natural strands, so you can say bye-bye to falsies and hello to longer, thicker lashes. One tube can also last up to six months, depending on the size, so choose wisely, but choose fast! After all, the Duchess of Sussex herself might be stocking up as we speak.

It's been a while since this stuff went viral, but buyers are still obsessed. I'm not too surprised, though, especially after seeing what this product can do in under three minutes. You can watch this creator's famous TikTok to see what I mean, but to put it in a nutshell: When this vitamin C and E formula is swiped under the eyes, it works instantly to reduce crow's feet, bags and wrinkles. One buyer explains, "You can feel your skin tightening within seconds, and the effect lasts all day." Buy it now for a steal to see for yourself.

Need to replenish your favorite Olaplex shampoo and conditioner? You won't want to skip over this bundle, which includes the brand's beloved No.4 Bond Maintenance shampoo and No. 5 Bond Maintenance conditioner, both of which are formulated to protect and repair damaged hair while making it softer, stronger and more manageable. They're some of my favorite hair care products of all time—especially the conditioner, which never fails to leave my strands shiny and hydrated. Just take my word for it.

Looking for a new summer scent? Buyers say this long-lasting floral fragrance (with notes of gardenia and white florals) is fresh and lightweight enough to use on the daily. The bottle is also as chic and sleek as can be, so you'll love showing it off on your vanity table. But is it worth the splurge? I certainly think so, especially since it's formulated with vitamins E and C, so it'll nourish your skin while keeping you smelling good all day long. 

Don't miss these beloved bronze highlighting drops on sale ahead of summer. They're supposed to boost luminosity, hydrate and soften the skin so you look gorgeously glowy and sun-kissed—sans the risk of UV damage. All you have to do is add a couple of the hyaluronic acid- and sea kelp-packed drops to your moisturizer, and you can look forward to instant radiance. Why else do you think it made PureWow's roundup of the best liquid bronzers?

I'd never leave out this oldie but goodie, the Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid treatment that several editors are obsessed with to this day. But I'll let PureWow SEO Editor Marissa Wu tell you all about it. "I didn’t see an immediate response the first day, but five days later, most definitely do," she raved in her review. "Pigmentation and bumps from old scars have definitely cleared up and shown good improvement. Pores on my nose and between my eyebrows have also reduced in appearance and remained clear." Just so you know, the potent formula features everything from lactic acid and licorice to lemongrass and aloe, and together they work overtime to slough off dead skin cells, clear your complexion and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. Plus, the formula purportedly helps to boost collagen production for more youthful-looking skin in the long run. So if there's any product you *100 percent* want to buy during this sale, it's definitely this!

This viral sunscreen comes out looking *and* smelling like whipped cream and tropical vibes. "Think: notes of coconut, banana, '80s poolside nostalgia—the works," former PureWow editor Delia Curtis explained. Fragrance aside, the hydrating sunscreen is formulated with everything from banana extract to niacinamide and vitamin E, and it provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection so harmful sun rays don't stand a chance. That's why it earned a 94 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review. "For the first three and a half hours, the sunscreen worked perfectly with no apparent issues. (I even got a tiny bit tan without burning at all!)," Curtis continued. Just remember that it only gives you 80 minutes of water-resistant protection, so if you’re spending the day at the beach or pool, you'll definitely want to reapply to stay protected against the sun—not that you'll be complaining.

Minimizing fine lines, bags and dark circles around your eye area can be quite a task. Well, unless you have this reader-favorite eye cream on hand. Loaded with peptides, vitamin C and caffeine, the formula is designed to boost collagen production, combat puffiness and brighten your under-eyes all at once. Plus, a little goes a long way. Don't believe it? Just hear this happy buyer out: "This eye cream lasted me so long, probably six months with daily usage. You only need a little, and it works like a charm. I see a noticeable difference in my under-eye appearance, reduces dark circles, brightens surface and so much more. I can't recommend this product enough." Say no more.

If you're in the market for a new hair dryer, look no further than this new T3 tool with an LED screen, custom heat settings and three attachments—so you can go from diffusing your curls to drying your hair straight in a snap (literally). And here's a little secret: The T3 Aire IQ has a stamp of approval from one PureWow editor, who says it's a beautiful piece of machinery with a stellar user experience. But that's not the only reason you should buy it on sale. According to the brand, it's also the key to achieving a salon-quality blowout at home with advanced damage protection. It even has smart attachment recognition that automatically refines temperature and airflow depending on your attachment. That said, how can you resist?

Want to work on your neck and décolletage this summer? Same. That's why I'm scooping up this viral lifting and firming neck mask featuring a biomimetic peptide complex and niacinamide. Here's how it works: Apply the mask around your neck like a choker and wear it for 20 minutes like any other sheet mask, then remove to reveal a potentially firmer neck and lifted décolletage. The brand touts instant results (hence the high price tag), and since you get five treatments in one pack, I'd say it's worth the splurge.

What's the secret to getting quality beauty sleep every night? Um, this cult-favorite magnesium spray. To cut to the chase, it's packed with magnesium, which has shown promise in helping to improve sleep. According to one buyer, this spray also helps with muscle recovery. "This works," they explain. "Instant relief from muscle aches and pains. I frequently have neck and back pain. I have tried so many products and some work, [but] this is one that works every time." PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey also gave it a go and was not disappointed. "Let’s just say my feet are more supple and soft than ever before thanks to the oil, and I’m sleeping like a baby. (A baby that’s getting all her magnesium.)," she shared in her roundup of the best magnesium oil. And, of course, this baby (which can be sprayed directly on the skin) came in at number one.

Effective skincare on-the-go is made easy when you have these two-step packets on hand. Just hear me out: When used daily, they're supposed to rejuvenate skin—evening out your complexion and delivering a glow that you can see from across the room—all by way of skin-resurfacing glycolic and lactic acids. Angela Pares, PureWow's VP of Design and Branded Content, put the extra-strength version (which is also on sale) to the test and noticed a difference in her skin texture after the first use. As she shared in her review, "[My skin] felt smoother, but not tight like it once had with my old scrubs." The brand says you can also expect instant and long-term anti-aging benefits as an added bonus of an already pretty great product.

Per the brand, this light therapy device combines red and near-infrared LED technologies to provide a noninvasive treatment that can potentially boost your mood, collagen production *and* your natural glow. In other words, this is the ultimate self-care splurge, so it's no wonder shoppers are lining up to buy it on sale now. The red light mask targets numerous skincare concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to elasticity and firmness, and even has a stamp of approval from PureWow Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay. "Overall, I think it added brightness, reduced inflammation (specifically on my cheeks that tend to get red) and appeared to smooth the small lines starting to form on my forehead. Simply put, I felt like it brought my skin back to life," she shares.

PureWow's former beauty director swore she would buy these pretty gold eye masks even if they didn't work. "They’re just that fun to wear," she raved. Well, good news, beauty buffs: They actually do work! They're infused with aloe leafcalendula, amino acids and peptides, which do a fine job of softening and relaxing your under-eye area, according to frequent users. And you only need to leave them on for ten to 15 minutes for them to work their magic.

You may have been waiting for the perfect moment to buy this $150 serum loaded with *a ton* of vitamin C, and it's a good thing you did, because it's finally up for grabs for less. While it may still be a splurge, a slew of buyers think it's worth it for how well it penetrates their skin, helping to minimize dark spots and fine lines while brightening their complexion overall. "This is my ride-or-die vitamin C. I have used it for more than ten years..." one shares. "[It] helps to keep my skin glowing and hydrated. This is a must-buy!"

This buzzy product deserves a spot in your beauty cabinet, and I'll tell you why. For starters, it's packed with snail mucin, which is said to be loaded with nutrients that can seriously nourish and hydrate your skin. In PureWow's deep dive into snail mucin, cosmetic chemist Alex Padgett told us, "the liquid [that] snails secrete is rich in hydrating humectants and polysaccharides that can help improve hydration and help skin hold onto water better." And guys, since this formula contains a whopping 96 percent of the stuff, there's no question whether it'll help you achieve a "glazed donut" complexion just in time for summer.

"The first time I used the NuFACE Mini, I swore I saw instant results; four years later, I stand by that," PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida shared in her review of the OG gadget. This newer version is slightly smaller and it connects directly to the brand’s app for more personalized treatments and tracking. More importantly, it stimulates the skin to help tone, lift *and* contour the face almost instantly, and has high potential to make your cheekbones pop and your jawline look sharper. Plus, it's compact and convenient for travel (so you can stay looking lifted anywhere). And as if it couldn't get any more exciting, it also comes with the brand's Aqua gel activator and Silk crème, which Maida confirms will help boost the effects. It's a mini must-have!

With notes of coconut, banana, pineapple, orange blossom and pool water, it's safe to say this fancy fragrance has a unique summer scent that will make you feel like you're on vacation (no pun intended). Some buyers are even calling it the ultimate Hot Girl Summer perfume, so if you want to smell like a snack while looking like one, you'd better stock up. On that note, I'll see you at checkout!
