It’s hard to give specific rules of thumb when it comes to shopping but here’s one I feel confident in: When Westman Atelier is on sale, you make the splurge. It’s rare to say that I not like but LOVE every product from a brand, this is one of them. It doesn’t matter how many new and innovative products I try, Westman Atelier never leaves the core rotation.
The sale in question is happening at Credo right now, and our readers get first dibs with the code INSTYLE. This rare sitewide sale ends April 3, and is 10 percent off orders under $125, 15 percent off orders of $125–$250, and 20 percent on orders of more than $250. Given that breakdown, I recommend you use this opportunity to purchase Westman Atelier’s Skin Activator Serum.

The Skin Activor Serum is the Jennifer Garner- and Michelle Pfeiffer-used brand’s first (but hopefully not last) foray into skincare. It’s filled with 12 active ingredients, and like everything from the brand, is meant to simplify and amplify your routine. Its specific purported benefits are hydration, brightness, wrinkle reduction, and increased firmness.
Shoppers say you can expect all that and then some. One shopper said this “serves as a wonderful primer and makes your skin look flawless.” Another shopper had a laundry list of good things to say; they called it “incredibly hydrating” in addition to making skin “look smooth, hydrated, and plump.” They added that they’ve seen a “reduction in the appearance of fine lines and pores.” You couldn’t ask for much more.
There is some science behind shoppers' accolades and description as “magic for mature skin.” I won’t take you through all 12 active ingredients but the highlights are niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and (curveball) prickly pear extract. I’m recently obsessed with niacinamide because I have seen firsthand its incredible efficacy at minimizing pores into oblivion, healing inflamed skin, fading hyperpigmentation, and softening wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid and peptides increase collagen production, and plump and intensely hydrate skin. Lastly, prickly pear extract — it strengthens your skin barrier (meaning healthier better-functioning skin) in addition to protecting it from environmental stressors that accelerate the signs of aging.
It’s expensive but after reading hundreds of shopper reviews it appears that you get what you pay for. Head to Credo Beauty to shop Westman Atelier’s Skin Activator Serum while it’s on sale with the code INSTYLE.
