Lookfantastic discount codes – get up to 20% off in September

Whether it's a nourishing serum, a volumising hair mask or a glow-giving body oil, Lookfantastic has you covered. From youth-boosting serums to damage-repair hair treatments, I’ll be updating this guide with standout discounts from top brands like The Ordinary, Drunk Elephant, Fenty Beauty and more. Read on for this month’s top Lookfantastic discount codes and deals – and give your routine the upgrade it deserves.

When to expect Lookfantastic discount codes and sales

If you need to stock up on your beauty essentials, it’s worth waiting until the end of the month as Lookfantastic often has a selection of payday deals. In the past, we’ve seen up to 20 per cent off some of our favourite brands, so check back at the end of the month to see what’s available.

The retailer also runs regular flash sales, focused on popular categories like haircare or some of our favourite tried and tested brands such as Lancôme, Kérastase and Bobbi Brown. Right now, you can get up to 60 per cent off skincare, make-up, fragrance and more using the link above.

But for the biggest savings across beauty, skincare, haircare and fragrance, the Black Friday sale remains king. The sale usually features up to 50 percent off iconic brands like La Roche‑Posay, Lancôme and Kiehl’s, with standout deals such as up to 50 percent off Natasha Denona shadows, up to 30 percent off Marc Jacobs fragrances, and discounts on Color Wow Dream Coat spray. In addition, LookFantastic’s exclusive Black Friday edit beauty box had more than £175 worth of products for £40.

Christmas offers are also worth keeping an eye on, as they are packed with festive beauty favourites that make perfect gifts. Each year, bestselling gift sets from brands like Rituals, Elemis and MAC are discounted. One of the season’s biggest hits is always the Lookfantastic advent calendar, which often sells out.

Save on viral beauty products with the Lookfantastic beauty box

Beauty boxes are a great chance to try new brands that you might not have come across before. The Lookfantastic beauty box topped my round-up of the best beauty subscription boxes, with its excellent variety and accessible price point.

Right now, when you subscribe to the September beauty box, which includes products from Elemis, Pixi, Peter Thomas Roth and more, you’ll get more than £80 worth of products from just £13 – that’s an impressive saving of more than 80 per cent.

Earn while you spend at Lookfantastic with LF Beauty Plus+

Another way to save when shopping at Lookfantastic is through its Beauty Plus+ loyalty scheme. It is free to join and you’ll earn five points for every £1 that you spend. Once you’ve gained 500 points (aka spent £100), you’ll get £5 credit to spend on your beauty buys. Leaving a review or recycling your empties can also score you some points.

As you earn more points, you’ll unlock more perks. These include a birthday gift, promo codes, early access to sales and a chance to become part of Lookfantastic’s review panel at the very top tier.

Refer a friend at Lookfantastic and get £10

If you and your friends love chatting about all things beauty, you can both save money when you sign up to Lookfantastic. The beauty retailer’s referral scheme will give you both £10 off your next order when they sign up using your unique referral code. This way, they get £10 off their first order, while you can stack £10 discounts on your next purchases.

Students get 20 per cent discount on beauty

LookFantastic also offers UK students a generous 22 to 25 percent discount on eligible beauty products through both Unidays and Student Beans. This is applicable across a wide selection of skincare, cosmetics, haircare, fragrance and beauty boxes.

To claim your discount, simply sign up (for free) with one of the platforms, verify your student status using your email or student ID, and you'll receive a unique code to enter at checkout on the LookFantastic website.

22 per cent discount for NHS and key workers

LookFantastic also offers NHS workers and key workers – including healthcare, emergency services, teaching, armed forces, transportation and retail – a 22 percent discount on selected beauty products. To access the offer, you’ll need to verify your employment via GoCertify. You’ll then receive a personalised discount code, which you can apply at checkout on the LookFantastic website.

This discount is applied site-wide, but excludes heavily discounted items, gift sets or bundles. It can be layered with other rewards such as Beauty Plus+ membership perks (including birthday credit and product points), allowing you to maximise your savings. For the best results, verify your status early, shop during beauty events or promotions, and watch your inbox for invitation-only codes or bundles exclusive to key worker members.

Download the Lookfantastic app for more discounts and codes

Downloading the Lookfantastic app opens the door to app-only savings. For example, new users receive an exclusive 20 per cent off welcome offer code for their first in-app order, delivered within two hours of enabling push notifications. In addition, the app offers flash sale alerts, early access to limited-edition drops, and bonus discounts that are not available on desktop or browser versions.

Top Lookfantastic deals for September 2025

Olaplex No.3 hair perfector: Was £28, now £22.40, Lookfantastic.com

(Lookfantastic)

This is the first at-home treatment that Olaplex released, designed to repair bonds from the inside out, and its one of our favourites. In our IndyBest Olaplex review, beauty expert Eva Waite-Taylor praised how the no.3 hair perfector left her hair “visibly more shiny” and called it a “really effective at-home solution.” It’s currently reduced by 20 per cent at Lookfantastic, and we can’t see it for much cheaper elsewhere.

Kate Somerville exfoliKate glow kit: Was £103, now £69, Lookfantastic.com

(Kate Somerville)

Now 33 per cent off, the Kate Somerville glow kit brings together three exfoliating heroes from the aesthetician’s iconic exfoliKate range. In her guide to the best facial exfoliators, bodycare expert Daisy described the intensive treatment as “a two-minute facial in a tube” that delivers “an unrivalled glow.” With its blend of fruit enzymes, AHAs and soothing ingredients like aloe and vitamin E, it’s a radiance-boosting essential. The set also includes a gentle, pore-refining cleanser and a hydrating exfoliating moisturiser which, together, make for a routine that smooths, brightens,and leaves skin visibly revitalised.

Prada paradoxe eau de parfum: Was £72, now £57.60, Lookfantastic.com

(Lookfantastic)

If you tend to go for feminine fragrance, I think you’ll love Prada’s paradoxe perfume. In my review I wrote that its “amber and tangerine notes mean that it will work well in every season”, and I liked that there was a touch of sweetness akin to love hearts. Right now, there’s 20 per cent off the 30ml bottle at Lookfantastic, bringing the price down to £57.60.
