Spring Savings Event 2020: What’s on Your List?

[TeamBIC]

We’ve started to see some of you buzzing with excitement here on the BIC because Sephora’s Spring Savings Event is nearly here. This means it’s almost time to make some shopping decisions! We know many of us are sheltering in place, which may mean we’re focusing on at-home self-care like candles, skincare tools, or even immunity-boosting products. We are also seeing that a lot of people have been sticking to their daily beauty routines so may want to pick up their holy grails and a new product or ten (or maybe that’s just us?). Regardless of what you’re shopping for, most of us can agree that a Sephora package (for yourself or a loved one) is a great mood-lifter, especially when it comes at a discount!

If you’re Rouge (like us!) you will get 20% off your purchase, VIBs get 15% off, and Insiders get 10% off. We have everything detailed in these FAQs if you want to know more about exclusions, how to shop, and when this sale is happening for your Beauty Insider tier, so be sure to read the FAQs.

Many of us either like to ask questions or give advice to inspire others’ shopping decisions. In this community of beauty lovers, it’s nearly impossible to find a product somebody hasn’t tried so let’s use this thread to help each other out.

My acne has started acting up again. What is the best treatments for acne, scarring, large pores and uneven skin tone?

The Tata Harper Clarifying Pore & Oil Control Cleanser with BHA & AHA for Redness 4.1 oz/ 125 mL omg love it!!!!  Their mud mask is on point as well! Good luck!

I would use Youth To The People Superfood Hydrating Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser 8 oz / 237 ml. It's a gentle cleanser that won't strip your face of its natural oils nor does it contain chemicals that will harm it. Even though it doesn't contain salicylic acid it is great at cleansing. 

For acne spot treatment I would suggest Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Original. It's great at drying up your pimples.

Products with Niacinamide are amazing for large pores, brightening the skin, and acne as well!! I am currently using the Inkey list niacinamide serum and it has helped significantly with brightening my skin tone and making my pores look much better!! Hope that helps 🙂

[kalelao]

I’m using once a week Babyfacial from Drunk Elephant it’s helping me keep my skin under control. I’m not acne free but I’m seeing that if I skip it my skin worsen.

Currently using Aqua Bomb Eye Cream by Belif and love it!! Love trying new products... anything on the market similar with a “clean” seal?

Hi! Quick question: Can I use “store credit” for an online purchase during the Spring Sale?

[Anonymous]

Unfortunately you cannot use a store credit card online. They are only for in a ore purchases

[danielamsv]

Yes you can 

[stephoscope]

Can someone recommend products for hyperpigmentation ? Preferably products without any alcohol. 🙂

[CookieGirl1]

@stephoscope look for products containing niacinamide (it's a great ingredient for fading spots) but you might try products like the DR. BRANDT SKINCARE - Dark Spots No More® Triple Acid Spot Minimizing Concentrate, the CAUDALIE - Vinoperfect Anti Dark Spot Serum, the MURAD - Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum , or the REN CLEAN SKINCARE - Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream.

The dr Dennis gross serum ( spl I think) 

[Mandie1234]

Murad rapid age spot treatment 

It has the low dose  prescription med in it that a dermatologist would give you and it has helped me alot.

I wondered why I was trying to convince myself I was in love with Good Genes again, I now remember the controversy about them removing an ingredient. Was it the Glycolic Acid? 
I’m looking for a new serum to replace Good Genes with Lactic and Glycolic. My skin loves those two ingredients. Suggestions? 

[keck]

I've been liking FARMACY - HONEYMOON GLOW AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Hydrating Honey + Gentle Flower Acids as a treatment serum. It does have both Lactic and Glycolic, as well as BHA and a few other active ingredients. It's also a bit cheaper than Good Genes. I am not quite halfway through my first bottle of Honeymoon Glow but I can notice a difference in my skin when I'm using it consistently vs when I'm lazy and skip the step for too long.

I haven't tried it, by Allies of Skin is going to be my next skincare splurge. Check out their products! The reviews are amazing. The only negative is the price!

Thank you!!

I am currently transitioning my routine to fully cruelty free, and that means replacing the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser which has worked very well for me for a few years, any recommendations for a cleanser that is similar & also cruelty free?

[BelleFin]

Fresh Soy is moving into CLEAN, Cruelty Free and Vegan. Don’t give up on it! 💕

Hi, I’m not so sure if this is clean, but I know some of their other products are, and I use it all the time! I love the Belif Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser! I use it every night. belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Jelly Cleanser 5.41 oz/ 160 mL
