Dermelect / InStyle

I’ve never liked my nails. They were always too thin, flat, and covered in imperfections like ridges. However, since discovering Dermelect’s nail concealers (which conveniently come as a set), I have largely foregone gel polish and the professional nail extensions that were a defining part of my teenage years and early-mid 20s. Thanks to the Camo Makeover Duo, my natural nails look polished, healthy, and like the epitome of quiet luxury.

I am (once again) recommending you experience the transformative properties of these ridge-filling nail concealers during InStyle’s InSider Sale; you can take 20 percent off all purchases until April 27 with the code INSTYLE20.

The Camo Makeover Duo is my desert island pick, but Dermelect has dozens of other effective shopper-loved products. Ease and streamline your shopping experience by perusing my tightly curated list of must-haves, below.

Editor’s Picks From InStyle’s InSider Sale:

The Camo Makeover Nail Concealer Duo

I test hundreds of products a month, so even when I like something it’s hard for me to remain loyal to it—there’s just so much out there to explore! Among the few non-negotiables are Dermelect’s nail concealers.

Dermelect’s Makeover and Camo-Nude Ridgefiller Nail Concealers are instant gratification products that have long-term benefits, too. Let’s start with how the two products are similar—they neutralize discoloration, blur and slightly conceal imperfections (like those random horizontal white lines), smooth out rough and uneven textures, and get rid of splitting. In the long term, they’ll make your nails grow strong and healthy with fewer imperfections.

The main difference is shades they come in; Makeover has a sheer, pink pearlescent, brightening finish while Camo-Nude is a more subdued beige, though it still has some light-catching yet subtle shimmer.

Get Lifted Instant Face Lift Moisturizer

Dermelect

The brand’s Get Lifted Instant Face Lift Moisturizer is a daily anti-aging moisturizer that’s formulated to have the efficacy of a once-a-week treatment. The anti-inflammatory product prevents the degradation of collagen (while simultaneously promoting it), reduces wrinkles, improves firmness, and provides long-lasting hydration. (Manuka honey, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and peptides are to thank.) The result is more elastic, plump, lifted, and defined skin.

A shopper in their late 60s said they are noticing “a slight uplift around [their] jaw” thanks to the moisturizer, while another user in their 50s noticed it “tighten” their “jowls.” And according to a middle-aged reviewer, it’s most effective from “the throat to the bustline” where it “eliminates the look of faint creepiness in the cleavage… [and] improves tone and texture of the entire upper chest.”

Outcrease Retinol Trifecta Serum

Dermelect

Dermelect’s Outcrease Serum is packed with three different types of slow-release retinol, which is important to note because that is what makes this serum suitable for even sensitive skin types, per the brand. In my opinion, retinol should be a non-negotiable in anyone’s skincare routine at some point. It’s FDA-approved for its proven anti-aging benefits; it lessens wrinkles, plumps skin, and reduces dark spots often associated with aging skin. It’s suitable for younger people, too, thanks to its texture-smoothing, skin-softening, and exfoliating (which leads to skin-brightening) effects.

The Outcrease Retinol Serum is possibly Dermelect’s most popular product with a staggering 12,600-plus five-star reviews packed with more accolades than I can list. The gist? It “smooths out all lines like an eraser,” per one shopper. Another said it made their skin “firmer, rejuvenated, and more radiant.”

Shop these and more editor- and shopper-loved Dermelect products below at 20 percent off during InStyle’s InSider Sale using the code INSTYLE20.
