[LAST UPDATED AT 6:37 A.M. ET ON NOVEMBER 28, 2025] Psst…can we let you in on a little secret? Black Friday beauty deals for mature skin are especially good this year—so good that your fine lines and dry patches are already shaking in their boots. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to restock your go-to retinoids, peptides, and glow-boosting acids, consider this your official green light. Yes, Black Friday always unleashes an avalanche of beauty discounts, but the savings geared toward mature complexions feel especially thoughtful: We’re talking gentle yet potent serums that won’t leave you flaky, brighteners that target uneven tone, and decadent cleansers for mature skin that actually keep your barrier happy through the coldest months.

If you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, crepey texture, or all of the above, these deals make it easier to upgrade the formulas that really move the needle, including derm-approved favorites our editors rely on year-round. And the best part: You don’t need to overhaul your entire routine to see a difference. Snag a smarter exfoliant here, a winter-ready cream there, and a collagen-supporting serum for good measure, and consider your skin set up for a glowier, smoother season ahead.

Allure former content director Kara McGrath applying Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is the beginner-friendly level of the brand’s derm-loved retinal line, delivering faster, more effective results than traditional retinol because retinal only needs one conversion step in the skin. “You start with level 1 (sensitive) or 3 (beginner), then graduate to higher concentrations once your skin can tolerate them. I haven't experienced any irritation with level 3, a rarity for my sensitive skin,” says Allure former content director Kara McGrath. Plus, its creamy, glycerin- and hyaluronic acid–boosted formula helps buffer any potential dryness.

Sulwhasoo’s First Care Trial Kit is a crash course in glass-skin glow, with minis of the First Care Activating Serum, Gentle Cleansing Oil, Clarifying Cleansing Foam, and the Ginseng Rejuvenating Cream (which is made with 500-hour-aged ginseng to boost your barrier and soften fine lines). The cleansing oil in this kit actually makes makeup removal fun, and the light texture of the cream has been reviving my parched skin,” says contributing editor Christa Joanna Lee.

Allure executive beauty editor Jenny Bailly applying Dr. Loretta Tightening Eye Gel

An Allure beauty editor favorite for years, Dr. Loretta Tightening Eye Gel snagged a Best of Beauty Award in 2019 for its do-it-all formula that treats the entire eye area. “I’ve heard a lot of depuffing promises in my day—this clear gel actually makes good on them. It also contains peptides and antioxidants that make my eye area smoother when I use it consistently for a couple of months,” says Allure executive beauty editor Jenny Bailly.

Madison Reed The Great Cover Up Root Touch Up + Brow Filler may be made for grays and brows, but it also works brilliantly to disguise sparse spots along your hairline. "I used this for both of my fourth trimesters, and loved how easy it was to powder a hairline back onto my scalp. The product has great staying powder, and easily comes out in the shower,” says Allure senior commerce director Shanna Shipin.

If age spots or dark spots are among your top skin-care concerns, Dr. Idriss’s Major Fade Solution System: Holiday Edition makes the whole brightening process feel a lot less intimidating. The set includes the Best of Beauty 2025-winning Major Fade Flash Mask, the radiance-boosting Major Fade Hyper Serum, and the Active Seal 2-in-1 vitamin C moisturizer, which hydrates while targeting discoloration. The Flash Mask is the undeniable standout—“after rinsing off, my skin is noticeably brighter, and using it a couple times a week has made a difference in my dark spots,” says Allure features director Dianna Singh.

The Armani Cheek Liquid Blush & Highlighter Gift Set pairs a Best of Beauty-winning, long-lasting blush (a couples of dots go a long way) with the radiant Acqua highlighter for a lit-from-within glow. Both formulas are lightweight and melt right into skin, making blendability foolproof, and they won’t settle into fine lines.

Allure contributing commerce editor Deanna Pai applying the Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream

Whoever thinks moisturizing isn’t the most luxurious part of a routine clearly hasn’t tried Kiehl’s. The Mini Moistures, Big Benefits Set includes travel sizes of the Ultra Facial Cream, Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, and the editor-loved Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream. “What sets the Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream apart is its whipped texture, which is nourishing enough to keep itchiness at bay, but sinks in immediately,” says Allure contributing commerce editor Deanna Pai.

P.S. Bluemercury's Black Friday sale is tiered, so you have to spend $200 or more total to unlock this Kiehl's set at 20% off.

Sunday Riley Flash Fix brings together two of the brand’s biggest stars—Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment and the Ceramic Slip Cleanser—for an instant radiance reboot ideal for those dealing with dryness, dullness, or both. “When I don’t have time for a full-on routine, this combo cleanses, exfoliates, brightens, and hydrates without stripping my sensitive skin,” says Lee, who notes that the lactic acid is gentle enough for daily use.

Allure editor in chief Jessica Cruel using the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro

It may fit neatly in your hand, but don’t underestimate the power of the Medicube Booster Pro. “This is the most powerful device I have ever used. Setting three out of five had my muscles twitching (in a good way). I also like that it has a screen that tracks the time, so I don't have to keep track of beeps," says Allure editor in chief Jessica Cruel. She usually sticks to the Derma Shot and MC modes in her skin-prep routine—favoring the latter for lymphatic drainage before big events.

Because product-development savant Sarah Creal designs everything with people 40+ in mind, her SPF 50 Illuminating Serum Broad Spectrum Sunscreen gives you water-resistant, zinc oxide protection and a just-got-back-from-vacation glow without emphasizing texture. “The subtle, illuminating tint doesn’t settle into the fine lines around my eyes. Plus, it has bakuchiol to support collagen and blur the look of wrinkles over time,” says Lee.

Alastin Skincare

Pai using Alastin Skin Renewal Retinol 0.25

This serum is beginner-friendly, barrier-loving, and the perfect “training wheels” retinol for anyone easing into vitamin A. “I was able to use Alastin Skin Renewal Retinol 0.25 with no acclimation period—gasp!—which is a big deal, since I’ve experienced the retinol-newbie flakes as an over-confident 20-something. It’s never once irritated my skin, even on the coldest of winter days, and while I still get the occasional hormonal breakout, I’ve found that this dispatches zits and the requisite acne scars more quickly,” says Pai.

Whatever your age, hydrated skin is a must. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Moisture Essence packs in hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and a mineral boost (think: magnesium, zinc, and copper) to revive dull, dehydrated complexions in seconds. “It's a little thicker than some essences, which is *chef's kiss* for my combo skin during the colder months,” says Allure commerce editor Sarah Han.

Lee using the Tatcha Rice Wash

Inspired by centuries-old geisha rituals, all of Tatcha’s products are ideal for dry or mature skin to restore a healthy glow. “Tatcha The Rice Wash is one of those cleansers that actually makes you look forward to washing your face. When you first start lathering it up, there’s a teeny bit of grittiness from the rice powder doing its gentle exfoliating thing—but then it instantly melts into the softest, creamiest foam,” says Lee.
