Memorial Day Weekend is here, which means the start of summer fridays, days at the beach, and light linens. But, most importantly (to me at least!), it means an onslaught of sales, perfectly timed to revamp my wardrobe and beauty routine for the hot and humid months ahead. One of these can’t-miss sales is from shopper- and editor-loved brand Dermelect; until May 28, you can take 20 percent off sitewide with the code MDE20.
Spin the proverbial wheel and check out with any random product you land on and you’ll be more than satisfied with your purchase. But since I am deeply (almost weirdly—I use its products daily) acquainted with the brand, my advice is pretty reliable, too. Of Dermelect’s 82 products, I’ve sifted out its four greatest hits.
4 Best Memorial Day Weekend Dermelect Sales:
Get Lifted Instant Face Lift Moisturizer, $39 (Originally $49)
Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler Nail Concealer, $14 (Originally $18)
Empower Anti-Wrinkle Treatment, $60 (Originally $75)
Runway Ready Luxury Foot Treatment. $20 (Originally $25)
Get Lifted Instant Face Lift Moisturizer
Dermelect
What it is: A daily anti-aging moisturizer with the potent benefits of a face mask.
Who it’s for: People concerned with aging who want lifted and less saggy skin with more defined facial contours.
The details: The hero ingredients are manuka honey, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and Snap-8, an eight-peptide complex that’s been posited as a topical Botox alternative. The sum total of these ingredients is increased moisture, reduced dark spots, less severe dynamic wrinkles (ones that are formed from repeated muscle use) like smile lines and crow’s feet, and improved elasticity.
The consensus: Shoppers are thrilled; Get Lifted Moisturizer has a 4.5-star average rating. A shopper in their late 50s wrote, “the tightening it does for my jowls is fabulous.” Another reviewer in the same age group said its “lifting” is “startlingly” noticeable.
Makeover Smoothing Ridge Filler Nail Concealer
What it is: A strengthening, reparative treatment that doubles as a nail concealer.
Who it’s for: People trying to repair damaged, ridge-filled, stained, and just generally janky-looking nails and/or people who want a no-makeup makeup version of a manicure.
The details: The keratin protein strengthens and heals weak nails while the patented Pentavitin moisturizes and eliminates brittleness. The slight pink pigment and pearlescence disguise discoloration and staining and make nails look healthy, regardless of their actual condition.
My review: Dermelect’s Makeover Nail Concealer transformed me into a natural nails girlie. Not having to look down and see grubby, split-and-shedding nails, I was finally able to rehabilitate them from years and years of gel abuse. This is the gold standard for nail treatments with strong, and fast-growing benefits.
Empower Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Dermelect
What it is: A pre-moisturizer youth-enhancing treatment.
Who it’s for: Those looking for a supercharged retinol serum that targets the typical signs of aging.
The details: Empower is a treatment filled to the brim with efficient active ingredients including retinol, matrixyl 3000, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Its supposed benefits are thereby plentiful: improved moisture, firmness, and elasticity. Plus, improved collagen production, a plumper complexion, softer existing wrinkles, and fewer new ones.
The consensus: This is another hit with shoppers—it has a 4.7 average star rating with shoppers especially praising its wrinkle-reducing benefits. One reviewer said, “it improves definition and tone… [and] visibly smooths the look of lines and wrinkles,” especially in the neck area.
Runway Ready Luxury Foot Treatment
Dermelect
What it is: A cream that exfoliates, softens, and repairs feet and heels.
Who it’s for: People whose feet hurt from the deep cracks in their heels and anyone who wants to feel confident and comfortable in their summer sandals.
The details: A combination of chemical exfoliants (like salicylic acid) and intense moisturizing ingredients (including hyaluronic acid and shea butter) make this a purportedly fast-acting reparative foot treatment. It targets cracked heels, calluses, dryness, and roughness.
The consensus: In short, it works and it’s the perfect season for it, per shoppers. One of the dozens of five-star shopper in their late 60s said “[Runway Ready] Foot Cream has changed my calloused and dry heels to smooth as silk.” They said the results are even better than getting a pedicure.
