Jennifer Aniston's secret for erasing fine lines is on rare sale for Black Friday
Reviewers over 50 say the slick serum stick plumped up crepey undereye skin — and it's 20% off.
It's nearly officially Black Friday so I'm officially on the hunt for rare, mega beauty deals. Case in point: This incredible, wrinkle-softening eye stick, which happens to be a Jennifer Aniston staple. The 55-year-old actress has always had the kind of dewy, effortless-looking skin many of us covet. So in 2021, when the "Morning Show" star snapped a behind-the-scenes pic of her makeup artist's counter and revealed all the skin care products used to prep her face for the show, beauty sleuths went a little bit wild. Careful zoom-ins on Aniston's Instagram story revealed a product haul that included an under-$10 face spray, a $15 lip-care stick, a $200 "facial sculpting" bar, a $150 face oil from luxury-line LaMer and, perhaps most exciting to skin care trend watchers, this serum stick from Japanese cult-favorite line Tatcha, which just happens to be on sale as part of Amazon's Black Friday beauty deals.
This serum stick is the ideal delivery system for softening fine lines, prepping skin for makeup and targeting dry patches. Made of 80% squalane — a known skin fortifier — it's fragrance-free, cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested. We've tried this ultra-silky balm and it leaves behind a dewy finish plus it's beyond-amazing for smoothing the undereye area before applying concealer, to avoid makeup settling into fine lines.
Why is this a good deal?
First, it's honestly rare to find this high-quality, mega-popular line marked down at all (particularly outside of Black Friday beauty sales). Second, it works: In a clinical study (by Tatcha, so take that for what it's worth) 100% of users found their skin felt both softer and better hydrated immediately after use. Last, it's a perfect, perfectly convenient winter product, targeting dry-skin patches without the mess of creams. It's also ideal for air travel: Since it's technically a solid, you don't have to worry about squeezing it into your jam-packed "liquids" bag.
What do the reviewers say?
"Wow, watched my lines disappear," raved one happy customer. "I was not expecting it, my skin looks better — it works exactly as it says. It moisturizes your skin and the lines get blurred."
Another over-50 consumer on the Tatcha site said: "This product really helps my undereye dry, crepey skin. I let set for awhile before applying my concealer. Can even dab on over my finished makeup if needed. I love it."
Other reviewers with mature skin exclaimed: "It’s AMAZING! Another incredible product by Tatcha. I use it before I put on makeup and it definitely smooths out the lines for me. I am in my 40s so my skin is always changing. This is a fantastic purchase."
Even non-eye-cream users were pleasantly surprised by the results: "I hardly use eye cream so I’m not sure what possessed me to buy this. I love it. It’s perfect for travel and use on the go. It barely smells like anything but feels oh so smooth and satisfying to use."
Tatcha is beloved not just by Aniston but by a slew of celebrities with amazing skin, including Meghan Markle, Drew Barrymore and Selena Gomez.
Other Jennifer Aniston skin care faves:
This all-natural, vegan and cruelty-free multi-tasking hydrating mist is made of damask rose oil which is meant to soothe and refresh skin and hair and even set makeup.
As if a recommendation from the pros who manage Jennifer Aniston's skin care was not enough, there's this ultra-convincing 5-star review: "On one of the coldest/driest nights in Paris with my dehydrated/parched lips, as I walked into a pharmacy seeking help, they recommended this to me. They told me it's from Germany and you won't find one better/easier for both men/women. After returning from my business trip, I've continued to buy the same. Everyone I recommend it to swears by it. No unpleasant/waxy/medicinal taste, smell or coating. Totally different from others."
