The question asked

What Australian skincare is worth buying on Black Friday

From the recorded answer

| Hey Bud | Up to 50% off | …
Read recorded answer

Recorded answer text · ChatGPT · 8 November 2026

If I were shopping for Australian skincare this Black Friday, I'd focus on Australian-founded brands with genuinely good formulas, especially SPF, vitamin C, barrier-repair products and quality serums. I'd prioritise products that are worth using year-round rather than buying something just because it's discounted.

Black Friday 2026 is Friday 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. Some Australian skincare sales are already being announced. www.clickfrenzy.com.auwww.elle.com.au

Here are the brands and products I'd put on my shopping list.

## 1\. Australian skincare brands worth watching

!Ultra Violette | Sephora Australia

1\. Ultra Violette

(Top pick)

Particularly worth buying for its facial sunscreens. Look at Queen Screen and Supreme Screen SPF 50+.

Sale target\: 20-25% off would be a good deal.

Current example: Queen Screen around \$41.60.

---

!Glow All Day: Alpha-H 24 Hour Duo Adore Beauty

2\. Alpha-H

Excellent brand to investigate for exfoliation, skin texture and uneven tone. I'd watch for Liquid Gold products and value bundles.

Sale target\: 20-30% off.

Worth considering if you enjoy active skincare.

---

!The Jojoba Company Australian Jojoba Oil 85ml

3\. The Jojoba Company

Great to investigate for nourishing, moisture-supporting skincare. Its Australian Jojoba Oil is the product I'd look at first.

(Confirmed sale)

30% off sitewide, 23-30 November. 7news.com.auwww.ellabache.com.au

Current example: approximately \$43.96.

---

!Much Brighter Skin | Brightening Vitamin C Serum

4\. Go-To Skincare

Worth looking at for straightforward everyday skincare, especially cleansers, moisturisers and hydrating products.

I'd watch for kits and bundles rather than buying individual products at full price.

---

!ELLA BACHÉ | naturalbe.com

5\. Ella Baché

A good one to consider if you enjoy more professional-style skincare and richer treatments.

(Confirmed sale)

20-50% off selected products, 23-30 November. www.ellabache.com.au7news.com.au

---

!Bondi Sands Everyday Skincare Thirsty Skin Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30ml | BIG W

6\. Bondi Sands

A good affordable option to watch, particularly for hydrating skincare and sun protection.

I'd look for multipacks and skincare bundles.

Example: Thirsty Skin Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

## 2\. Specific products I'd consider buying

These are products I'd add to a Black Friday watchlist. The prices shown are current shopping snapshots, not confirmed Black Friday prices.

Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF 50+ Skinscreen

## \$41.60

At Adore Beauty + others · SPF 50+

A good sunscreen to look out for during a sale.

Shop product

---

The Jojoba Company Australian Jojoba Oil

---

Shop product

---

Alpha-H Cleanse & Protect Duo - Cleansing Balm & SPF 50+ Ser…

## \$110.70

At Activeskin

An interesting Alpha-H cleansing and SPF bundle to watch for a better combined price.

Shop product

## 3\. The Black Friday sales I'd watch

| Brand | Advertised offer | |--------|--------| | Ella Baché | 20-50% off selected | | The Jojoba Company | 30% off sitewide | | Boost Lab | Up to 40% off | | Bangn Body | 30% off | | Hey Bud | Up to 50% off |

Dates and offers can vary by product and stock. 7news.com.auwww.ellabache.com.au

## 4\. My advice: what is actually worth spending money on?

I'd prioritise\:

1. SPF 50+ sunscreen - something you'll use every day. 2. Vitamin C serum - if brightening and pigmentation are priorities. 3. A good moisturiser - especially if your skin gets dehydrated. 4. Retinal or retinol - if you're already comfortable using vitamin A. 5. Bundles - often better value than buying individual products.

Don't be tempted by a 50% discount if the product isn't suitable for your skin. Compare the sale price with its usual selling price too.

## Let me narrow this down to the best buys
