Black Friday 2025 is just a few days away, and while you’ve been prepping for Thanksgiving, the next day’s holiday has probably not been at the front of your mind. But Black Friday marks the transition between Thanksgiving and the December holiday season. So as December sneaks up on you, Black Friday is the perfect time to shop for skin care gifts for friends and family. It’s also the perfect time to shop for yourself, whether you’re stocking up on tried and true daily skin care products or looking to treat yourself to something new, Black Friday is the cheapest time to do so.
We all remember the wild days of Black Friday shopping where customers went rampant in stores, but that doesn’t have to be what the holiday is about. So while Black Friday sales often promote overconsumerism — with people buying items they don’t need or will never use, all because of a lower price — buying skin care products on Black Friday is a way to save money on things that you’ll actually use. These skin care products give you the high-quality ingredients and formulas you’re looking for without the higher price tags. Some of them could even make great stocking stuffers! These skin care deals can all be shopped online with quick and easy access if you’re looking to skip the lines and busy crowds that come with in-person shopping. Ready to shop? Here are 12 Black Friday skin care deals to take advantage of this year.

Perfect for carrying with you on the go, these wipes are multi-purpose. They work for a quick clean up from dirt or sweat, and double as a makeup remover.

This acne spot treatment will come in handy for breakouts. Be sure to be using a cotton swab to apply to individual pimples.
Olay Face Wash Gentle Cleansing Melts ($14)
Fragrance-free is the way to go for skin care to avoid any of the potential damage that fragrances can do to your skin. These gentle dissolving pads make washing your face simple and easy.

An all-in-one product, this healing stick can go anywhere you have dry skin. There’s no better time to buy this product as we head into the cold month of December.
L’Oreal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler Moisture Bounce Face Serum ($10)

Cetaphil Daily Oil Free Facial Moisturizer SPF 35 ($13)
I personally use this moisturizer twice a day, and as someone with dry skin, I can feel the effects right when I put it on.
Mario Badescu Pore Minimizer Kaolin Clay Powder Mask ($9)

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water ($9)
I’ve only heard good things about this makeup remover, and after years of using aggressive makeup wipes, this cleansing water has worked best for me.

Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick SPF 30 ($5)
There are way too many scented, barely-effective lip balms out there, but Aquaphor always comes through. Stock up and get a couple now, since chapped lips bite the most in winter.
