Special Episode: Black Friday Skincare Deals We Actually Recommend

It is the biggest shopping week of the year, and in this Black Friday special, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee break down the skincare deals actually worth your time and money. No gimmicks, no pressure, just the products they genuinely use, trust, and recommend in the clinic every day.

They walk through the Dean Skincare Anti-Aging Bundle and explain why the Activ V Vitamin C, Sheer Shield sunscreen, exfoliating pads, retinols, and Activi Repair Cream stand out this year, and they share an exclusive 30 percent off code for Skinfluence listeners. Dustin and Austin also highlight their top device picks, including the Cure LED red light mask and the Jill Razor dermaplaning system, along with this year's rare SkinBetter Science holiday gifts with purchase.

To wrap things up, they share their favorite non-skincare deal: the Kill Switch sleep cocoa that helps Dustin sleep deeper and wake up refreshed without melatonin. Whether you are shopping for yourself or hunting for gifts, this special episode helps you navigate Black Friday with confidence.
