You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to feel like you’re getting regular facials. In fact, fans of the Elemis’s Pro-Collagen Glow Boost exfoliator say this two- to three time weekly home treatment offers spa-like results, right in your bathroom. A luxury brand, this exfoliator from Elemis usually cost $80.
But as luck would have it, this dreamy balm is currently 50% off at Ulta, as part of the 21 Days of Beauty event. This means you’re getting facial-like skin, on a weekly basis, for $40. You heard us right. But run over fast, because these deals sell out quickly.
Made with non-abrasive cellulose beads and a blend of skin-softening oils, this balm starts as an exfoliator, then turns into a cleansing milk.
Made for all skin types, this multifaceted exfoliator helps your skin look glowy and refreshed, keeping it from getting congested and dull. The brand recommends applying a pea-sized amount two to three times a week to cleansed skin, then adding a little water, turning the balm into a white milk. Massaging gently into the face will help remove dead skin cells, without grating or stripping your skin.
“This is a perfect exfoliator!” one review said. “It exfoliates without causing your skin to feel ’sandpapered′ and leaves your skin feeling clean.”
Combining starflower oil to soften and nourish, elderberry oil for hydration and encouraging cell turnover, optimega oil for smoothing and rose and mimosa waxes for comfort, users say the formula is gentle but effective, making it feel like a “cleansing balm with a little kick to it!”
Users love how the cream leaves their skin “smooth” and “glowing,” noting that it “works very well without drying out my sensitive skin.”
Another user who deems the glow boost exfoliator one of their top two “must-haves” from Elemis, calls the product a game-changer for both skincare and makeup. “Your face feels amazing afterwards, polished yet very hydrated and not stripped like other exfoliators I’ve used,” they wrote. “I can definitely see a reduction in the size of my pores after using, and my makeup goes on much better, and lasts longer.”

“A friend of mine recently purchased from a spa so of course I was interested in trying. Needless to say, I’ve started using it 3 times a week as stated in the directions. My skin looks so radiant and hydrated. I feel like I have a fresh facial after each use. It provides a healthy glow. I want to use this product everday! I came here to purchase this product for myself. I will continue to use this product from here on out, plus some of their other products!” — AJ
’I’m blown away by this exfoliator! It is so gentle yet SO EFFECTIVE. Your face feels amazing afterwards, polished yet very hydrated and not stripped like other exfoliators I’ve used. I can definitely see a reduction in the size of my pores after using, and my makeup goes on much better, and lasts longer. This product is a game changer in my book, and probably now one of my top two “must haves” from Elemis. Love love love…..” — JMcTX
“This exfoliator is truly the best. Very gentle on my skin but removes dirt and builds up on my mature skin. I recommend it to anyone as it leaves your face feeling fresh and smooth.” — Rosalie714

The Perricone MD eyelid lift serum one reviewer called the “one thing they’d bring to a desert island”
Promising reviews: “If I was stuck on a desert island, this will be the one product I would bring with me. I am not sure what type of magic is in that bottle, but I put it on for the first time and I swear it took 10 years off my age. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments.” — LC
“Perricone thinks of every part of our faces. I’ve been using the eyelid lifting serum for about 5 years. I can wear cream eyeshadow without it ‘creasing up’. This serum helps in smoothing out the thin, crepey eyelid skin. And just a tiny bit is needed. I also use it under my eyes, as I’m European and have very thin skin. This Is A Staple in my skin care routine! Worth The Investment!” — Lynne

Peter Thomas Roth’s Ultimate Solution Moisturizer that reviewers say leaves skin looking “younger and smoother”
Promising reviews: “I have bought this twice now. It works period! It melts into my skin and makes my face feel soft, and my face looks ethereal because of it. I’m about to turn 65 next month and people cannot believe I’m this old. It also helps my hair has barely any grey at all. PTR is my go to skin care!” — Sandys3
“My forehead wrinkles were gone by morning on first use! They do come back however if I skip this product for too long and am dehydrated. But talk about instant gratification. Very impressed.” — SadaMTL

Promising reviews: “This is a beautiful feminine fragrance that is such a mood lifter because it is not overpowering but noticeable and lasting.” — Pattie

Solawave’s expert-recommended 4-in-1 skincare wand for portable red light therapy
Psst: we’ve actually had skin care experts recommend the Solawave wands to us before, read about it here.
Promising reviews: “I wasn’t expecting miracles, but this wand has become such a calming part of my routine. The warmth feels amazing and helps my serums sink in better. Red light is super gentle, and I’ve noticed my skin looking brighter and less irritated. It’s a great tool for boosting glow, calming inflammation, and winding down after a long day. Super easy to use and feels like a little spa moment at home!” — Blythe
“The massaging feature is more of a gentle vibration, but the warming feature is what really elevates the relaxation. You need to use a serum so the wand glides over your skin, and I think the wand actually makes your serum work even better. It does take a moment for the wand to heat up, so you might be sitting there for a while massaging your face. I usually just do it when I’m sitting on the couch watching tv. My skin is left glowing after!” — Denise

First Aid Beauty’s pure skin face cleanser that users repurchase again and again
Promising review: “This is my all-time favorite cleanser. It definitely gets my face cleaner than other brands, such as Cerave. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. It’s a little pricey, but worth every penny because a little goes a long way. I will re-purchase every time.” — Stacey
“I used this cleanser in the past, but wanted to see what else was out there. I tried a few different things, lived my life, thought I had moved on. But just like a bad boyfriend, I came back. Seriously, this gets my face clean without stripping my already dry skin of the little moisture it retains post-cleanse. I have more than two seconds between patting my face dry with a towel before it starts to feel stretched and parched before I can even reach for my moisturizer. I’m never going to leave my face cleanser ever again. I plan on proposing next month.” — Autum
