Though luxury skin care is not necessarily more effective than its drugstore counterparts, sometimes pricier formulas do, in fact, prove worth the money. Such is the case for Elemis, a luxury British skin care line I’ve been using for nearly a decade. My 71-year-old mom is similarly fond of its formulas—particularly its night cream, which smooths her fine lines overnight and softens her skin by morning.

While Elemis is rarely marked down, many of the brand’s best-sellers are currently 30 percent off at Amazon. I’m stocking up on its famous cleansing balm—plus two of my mom’s anti-aging favorites—before they return to full price.

Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

$48 at Amazon

This cleansing balm has achieved internet fame, impressed InStyle testers, and made a permanent home for itself in my medicine cabinet. In addition to melting off makeup—including stubborn waterproof mascara—the dense, luxurious balm offers anti-aging benefits. Antioxidant-rich algae fends off free radicals, while English rose softens rough texture, leaving skin baby-soft post-cleanse. I’m stocking up while it’s on rare sale—both for myself, and for a handful of friends who share my affinity for the product.

Pro-Collagen Night Cream

$119 at Amazon

This deeply hydrating overnight cream leaves even the driest complexion looking plumper, smoother, and looking more youthful come morning. My 71-year-old mom, whose skin is prone to redness in the colder months, swears the rich, creamy moisturizer soothes her winter skin woes, and quickly. An Amazon shopper echoed similar sentiments, noting that the formula “eliminates blotching” and makes their “sensitive skin feel soft.”

Superfood Face Oil Hydrating Facial Moisturizer

$48 at Amazon

Yet another one of my mom’s favorites, this nutritive face oil smooths fine lines by locking in moisture. Flax seed oil, which is packed with suppleness-inducing fatty acids and has been shown to calm sensitive skin, is a key ingredient. One shopper, who called it their “favorite” skin care product, wakes up with “smooth, soft skin” after applying the oil at night. Plus, they attributed the formula to their more even-toned complexion.

Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal

$81 at Amazon

This rich cream instantly smooths the delicate skin around the eyes, and fades signs of aging over time. Algae extract is to thank for its firming benefits, per the brand, while vitamin E  strengthens the all-important skin barrier. One shopper reported the eye cream “greatly diminished” their dark circles and wrinkles, concluding that the formula is “worth every penny.”

For smoother, younger-looking skin via a luxury brand with a fan following, shop Elemis favorites while they’re still 30 percent off at Amazon—including additional discounted picks, below.
