What To Buy at the First-Ever CVS Beauty Sale

Each week from October 25 through November 21, CVS will be offering deals on some of its best-selling beauty products. Since there is a lot (like, a lot) of good stuff to choose from, we combed through the offerings from the CVS beauty sale to find the best of the best that our editors will be adding to their own carts. Scroll through for the skin, hair, and makeup steals you won’t want to miss out on.

1. Pixi Glow Tonic, $18 (Buy one get one 40 percent off)

During the week of Nov. 1, when you buy any of Pixi’s facial care products you’ll be able to score a second from the collection at 40 percent off. Our personal picks? The cult-fave Glow Tonic, which is made with high concentrations of glycolic acid and aloe to exfoliate and soothe your complexion, and the Rose Ceramide Cream ($24) which is stacked with ceramides to help restore your skin barrier.
