Black Friday skincare deals

When it comes to Black Friday skincare, last year’s discounts were nothing short of glow-inducing, and if history repeats itself, 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger. In 2024, beauty lovers snapped up 30% off Sand & Sky, scored sitewide savings at Esmi, and indulged in luxe picks from Dermalogica, Medik8, and Dr Naomi at rare markdowns. Even major retailers like Amazon joined the mix, slashing up to 66% off viral favourites like the COSRX Snail Mucin, while Laser Clinics Australia offered up to 60% off skin treatments.

This year, Adore Beauty’s senior beauty editor, Sadaf Razi, would advise you to spend your money on luxe items you’ve had on your wishlist. “I would go for an icon like the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, a Medik8 Crystal Retinal… and then a Therabody tool that you’ve had your eye on but haven’t yet made the move – now is the time!” she says.

If last year’s fragrance sales were anything to go by, 2025’s Black Friday perfume deals are set to smell even sweeter. In 2024, we saw luxe labels like Giorgio Armani and Gucci Beauty drop major savings across their signature scents and limited-edition bundles, while cult favourites like Who Is Elijah and Aerre Fragrances offered up to 40% off sitewide. Even home fragrance hero Moss St. Fragrances joined the mix with generous discounts on candles and diffusers.

“This is the year of fragrance. We’re seeing huge demand for scent as it becomes a staple of self-expression, so this year there’s something for everyone,” says Lea Cranfield, chief brands and buying officer at Mecca.

How do you get the most out of beauty sales?

To help you cut through the chaos and find the deals actually worth it, we turned to Adore Beauty’s Sadaf Razi for her expert advice.

“I always tell my friends to firstly take stock of your beauty wardrobe – do an audit, think about what you really need right now and what’s coming up,” she says.

“As we head into summer, consider things like a restock on your SPF and whether your social calendar demands a new makeup palette! Look at sets or even bundles to get the best deal.”

What are the top categories (skincare, haircare, fragrance, makeup, etc.) during this sales period?

“It’s always a combination of categories and price points, because shoppers are using Black Friday and other sales periods to both buy ‘luxe’ and buy for everyday,” Sadaf explains.

“From Vitamin C serums to emerging K-beauty cleansers and masks – often these will be a gateway for shoppers to discover these incredibly effective products, after which they integrate them into their routines with confidence.”
