Eyeing something from SkinCeuticals? Consider this your sign. Whether you’ve been meaning to restock your favorites or finally try that hyaluronic acid serum everyone raves about, now’s a pretty good time—because right now, the more you add to cart, the more freebies you’ll unlock.

Few skin-care brands have earned as much loyalty from editors and dermatologists as SkinCeuticals. Since launching in the late ’90s, the brand has built its reputation on science-backed formulas—think antioxidant serums, barrier repair creams, and treatment-focused staples. At Allure, we’ve been fans for years, and more than a few SkinCeuticals products have nabbed a Best of Beauty Award along the way.

Here’s how the SkinCeuticals gift with purchase promotion works:

Just don’t wait too long: The promotion ends March 20, 2026. If you need a little inspiration, scroll on to see the SkinCeuticals products we’re personally adding to our carts.

Why it's worth it: Think of the Best Sellers Discovery Set as a greatest-hits lineup for anyone curious about the brand’s most talked-about formulas. You’ll find the iconic C E Ferulic—a four-time Best of Beauty winner and one of our favorite vitamin C serums. “I really dig the effect of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic because of the antioxidant and keratolytic benefits of vitamin C and ferulic acid,” Toronto-based board-certified dermatologist Geeta Yadav, MD, previously told Allure. The set also includes the brand’s peptide-powered P-Tiox Serum and the nourishing Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

Used together, the trio makes for a simple routine ideal for mature skin: Apply C E Ferulic in the morning for antioxidant protection, follow with P-Tiox to smooth the look of expression lines, and top it off with Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, which features a patented ratio of 2% ceramides, 4% cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids. “This moisturizer is a great option to replenish moisture and strengthen the natural skin barrier,” New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, told Allure. Considering the full-size trio typically runs about $490, this set is a smart way to try them together.

Tester feedback of C E Ferulic from executive beauty director Jenny Bailly

“I’ve been blending four drops of C E Ferulic on my bare skin (under sunscreen, of course) every morning for about a decade. Every time I stray, my hyperpigmentation rises to let me know I made a grave mistake.” —Jenny Bailly, executive beauty director

Tester feedback of P-Tiox from editor in chief Jessica Cruel

“There is a combination of peptides, niacinamide, and PHA in P-Tiox to help target a very specific sign of aging: expression lines. As someone who loves to laugh, I am particularly concerned about my nasolabial folds, a.k.a. smile lines. I use this serum so they don't get any worse. I have to say, I find my filler is lasting a lot longer in that area. It is not a complete replacement for aesthetic treatments like filler or neurotoxin, but this serum can complement those in-office treatments as maintenance. I like to switch off between this and my retinol.” —Jessica Cruel, editor in chief

Allure commerce editor Sarah Han applying the SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced

Why it's worth it: Its name isn’t a tongue-in-cheek nod to getting older—the A.G.E. Interrupter Duo refers to advanced glycation end-products, sticky sugar-protein bonds that naturally form in the body over time and can weaken collagen, contributing to wrinkles, laxity, and crepey texture. The two-step routine includes the sculpting A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, which targets four key areas (forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck) to create a more lifted look. If you’ve been experiencing skin laxity after rapid weight loss, the formula has also been physician-tested in people—including those taking GLP-1 medications.

Follow up with A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced, a rich cream loved for its thicker, cushiony texture. New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, calls it a “great, thicker cream that provides improvement for age-related changes, as well as hydration.” Featuring the brand’s proprietary Proxylane to boost skin’s natural glycan levels—complex sugars that keep skin hydrated, firm, and springy—the formula is more nourishing than active-heavy, so it layers easily alongside treatments like retinoids at night.

Tester feedback of A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced from commerce editor Sarah Han

“In the daytime, my combo skin and I adore a lightweight gel-cream, but come nighttime, I reach for a thicker cream that creates a strong seal for all of the essences and serums I slather on. SkinCeuticals' A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is one of the all-timers—it's rich but not overly heavy, a.k.a. it melts into my skin quickly. I especially love that it's targeted towards fine lines because, while I'm not considered mature quite yet (I’m almost 33, for the record), I've been seeing more faint forehead lines pop up, and I want to do everything in my power (even though aging is a blessing!) to maintain elasticity and glow. A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is the perfect nightcap, hard stop.” —Sarah Han, commerce editor

Why it's worth it: With the Radiant Skin Duo, dry skin doesn’t stand much of a chance. The set includes the 2024 Best of Beauty-winning Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan Serum, an upgraded take on the brand’s original H.A. Intensifier that, true to its name, drives intense hydration into the skin. Along with classic humectant hyaluronic acid to soften the look of fine lines, the formula also features licorice root to brighten, antioxidant-rich purple rice, and Proxylane. Seal it all in with Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, and together the duo layers hydration and lipid support, helping skin hold onto moisture and look smoother and glowier.

Tester feedback of Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan Serum from Han

“I don't love most HA serums, but SkinCeuticals—as it often proves to be—is the exception. It's supremely silky (it kinda reminds me of snail mucin, but much more pleasant and fast-absorbing!) and gives my skin an instant plumping effect. I love pairing it with my antioxidant and retinol serums for the all-day or all-night hydrating boost my skin usually desperately needs, especially in the colder months. I'd be lying if I said I didn't find the pink color very pretty...and also kind of surprising for such a serious brand!” —Sarah Han, commerce editor

Tester feedback of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 from senior beauty editor Jesa Marie Calaor

“Finding a moisturizer to use with my tretinoin was challenging. I test hundreds each year, yet I still had trouble finding a formula that didn’t sting upon application and kept my skin moisturized for more than a few hours. That is, until I returned to this one. It’s an oldie but a goodie, feeling rich but not heavy. It isn't oily or sticky, so I’m not leaving marks on my pillows when I sleep. It feels like a comforting blanket, which I especially appreciated when I first started my tretinoin journey, and my cheeks felt extra-spicy.” —Jesa Marie Calaor, senior beauty editor

Why it’s worth it: If you’ve ever thought eye creams were just miniature versions of your face moisturizer, it’s probably because you haven’t met SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Advanced Eye. This 2023 Best of Beauty winner proves that formulas made specifically for the delicate eye area can hold their own. It targets crow’s feet and crepey texture with a powerhouse lineup that includes Proxylane to support skin firmness, antioxidant-rich blueberry extract, and a blend of flavonoids and peptides that smooth and strengthen the skin around the eyes. “It improves the appearance of crow’s feet through its potent combination of Proxylane, blueberry extract, and a complex of flavonoids and synergistic peptides,” New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Lauren Penzi, MD, told Allure. Rather than simply adding collagen to the surface, the formula encourages skin to produce more of its own over time, which can lead to firmer, smoother-looking skin. Light-reflecting ingredients also subtly brighten the undereye area—though, as with most skin-care wins, consistent use is where the real payoff shows up.

Tester feedback from contributing commerce editor Deanna Pai

"I have what plastic surgeons have called an 'expressive face,' so my crow's feet are out of control when I smile. This makes a noticeable difference in their length and depth, but doesn't exacerbate my milia or lead to pilling. I really appreciate that it feels balmy and nourishing but not heavy, so I can apply the rest of my skin care and makeup right after—helpful when I'm trying to get ready with my kid hounding me." —Deanna Pai, contributing commerce editor

Tester feedback from senior commerce director Shanna Shipin

"Thanks to genetics and my big cheeks, I've had crow's feet since grade school. The larger smile-induced lines have never bothered me before, but as I've gotten older, there's been a proliferation of fine lines around my eyes, along with overall thinning and loss of suppleness in that area. Lifelong eyelid eczema—and rubbing at said eczema (naturally!)—have not only contributed to premature aging but have also made it very difficult for me to find an eye cream that doesn't irritate my skin.
