Did Christmas come early this year? It feels that way, thanks to two major sales happening RN. Amazon Prime Day is going on now through July 11, while the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is open for Icon members only (though everyone can enjoy the discounts on July 12, when it opens to the general public).

Whether you're searching for beauty favorites, designer handbags or kitchen finds, both retailers has you covered from head to toe. But one area that I'm focusing on is snagging a skincare device. Red light therapy is still trending—which makes sense, given its claims to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen production and create the appearance of younger, firmer skin. I went on the hunt...

Dr. Dennis Gross is renowned for its chemical peels, which you'll get to try with this bundle that basically includes everything you need for your skincare routine. The Nordstrom Anniversary exclusive has the Alpha Beta Peel Extra Strength Peel (five treatments), DermInfusions Blur + Repair Cream, DermInflusions Plump + Repair Lip Treatment and the DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro LED Light Therapy Device. The device is FDA-cleared and features red and blue light to smooth wrinkles, boost collagen and prevent bacteria in just three minutes, according to the company. FYI: The device is usually $455 on its own, so getting the rest of brand's products is a major bonus.

Solawave is a PureWow favorite and for good reasons. The light therapy mask works to reduce any signs of aging. It combines red and near-infrared light to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage, while also evening out your skin tone. As VP of Editorial Candace Davison shared in her review, "My skin seemed more even-toned and smoother overall; less craggy and crepey. Is it worth $349? That depends on the results you’re after. In my case, yes. I wanted to restore my sense of radiance, and by extension, my confidence. And I achieved just that."

This three-in-one device works to firm, sculpt and smooth skin. I've tried it firsthand and it does a great job at lifting the face—working closely on reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This exclusive set also comes with lip & eye attachment to work on smile lines, 11s and crow's feet, as well as a red light attachment to boost skin radiance.

This number one best-selling device is great for tackling a ton of skincare concerns. It has seven LED lights: red for encouraging collagen production, green for minimizing wrinkles and fine lines, yellow for reducing melanin production, white for growing and health skin cells, blue for soothing skin, purple for lymphatic drainage and cyan for reducing skin tension. Shoppers praise the device for being compact, great for traveling and overall offering professional-grade results at home.

This Qure device has five modes to customize your experience. The LED lights include amber for reducing sun damage, red for increasing collagen production, deep red for smoothing wrinkles, infrared for boosting circulation and blue for preventing breakouts. As SEO Editor Marissa Wu shared in her extensive review, "I have combination skin and break out a fair amount on my forehead and chin. While I don’t think it reduced my acne, I’ve noticed that the mask delivered on its promises to fade dark spots and reduce inflammation in any existing breakouts, thereby expediting their healing time."
