Winter can be compromising for skin, but Sephora just stepped in to be the salve. Now through Jan. 17, the beauty destination is taking 50% off many of our favorite skin care brands. Much like Ulta’s annual Love Your Skin Event, fresh deals will drop every day. Sephora isn’t keeping it hush-hush either: You can peek at the preview of brands lined up for the rest of the month. We’re talking favorites from Estée Lauder, Kiehl’s, Clinique and a dozen others.
To help get your winter skin care regimen off to a good start, I rounded up the best Sephora skin care deals, including finds from today’s spotlighted brands, Belif and Fresh, as well as some other on-sale favorites.
Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb With Peptide and Ceramide
It's all in the name: Belif's face moisturizer is loaded with a trifecta of ceramides, peptides and squalane to deliver lasting hydration to your skin. In fact, the brand claims that it delivers moisture for up to 48 hours (!). Today, its price is being slashed in half as part of Sephora's daily skin care deals.

Fresh Soy Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser
A classic for good reason, Fresh's soy-based facial cleanser touts a gentle formula that's suitable for all skin types. I can attest that over the years I've used it on and off, it's never irritated my dry, eczema-prone skin. Plus, the standard size is part of Sephora's daily skin care deals today.
Sephora Collection Metal Facial Razor
At-home dermaplaning is a staple in my weekly skin care regimen. I use a facial razor to nix peach fuzz and dark hairs from my face for a smoother makeup application. Any will get the job done, but this one is on sale for half off.
Foreo Luna Mini 3
When your skin needs a deeper clean, let the Foreo Luna do the work for you. The vibrating skin care device can help gently lift dirt, oil and sweat — perfect for a post-workout scrub. While it's not part of the daily deals, I spotted this cleansing tool for 30% off.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Redness Reducers Set
It's inevitable: Harsh redness makes a frequent appearance amid harsh, drying winters. Luckily, this set, valued at $106, is filled with a bevy of color correctors from Dr. Jart+, including creams and spot treatments.

Peter Thomas Roth Firmx Duo Kit
Work double duty to refresh tired eyes this winter. Valued at $103, the kit combines two collagen-based favorites, an eye cream and a set of under-eye patches, from the brand for less.
Fresh Tea Elixir Anti-Aging Serum
Keep acne at bay with a serum formulated with the star ingredient niacinamide. The vitamin B3 derivative can help brighten the appearance of skin. Meanwhile, ceramides can help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier to prevent it from getting parched.
Belif Aqua Bomb Depuffing Eye Gel With Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid
A potent combo of caffeine, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C and collagen work to depuff and brighten the appearance of under-eyes. That's all just a couple of swipes away with this handy gel pen — on sale for 50% off.
Glossier Limited Edition Biscotti and Espresso Balm Dotcom Duo
Fans of Glossier's Balm Dotcom will be thrilled to know that this duo's deal is still going strong far beyond the holiday. Grab two flavorful favorites while their priced below $20.

Dermalogica Cleanse and Glow Limited-Edition Kit
A facialist once used this three-step system on my skin, and it helped clear my complexion. Given how sensitive my skin is, I was pleasantly surprised by the "microfoliant," which gently removed buildup without stripping my skin. The kit, typically valued at $179, is now on sale for $110.
It’s the first time Sephora has held a skin care-centric sale that spans over two weeks with daily deals. With popular brands like Sunday Riley and Tula slated to participate, it’s a great chance to re-evaluate your skin care best practices. We’ll also note that it’s rare to see deals as much as 50% off outside a major savings holiday like Labor Day or Cyber Week.
