Never risk running out while getting bang for your buck...
A while back, we did an article on 8 top beauty products that were available in jumbo sizes, and you guys LOVED it.
So, we thought we’d do a part two because what’s better than owning your favourite cult beauty product? Owning it jumbo size because not only are you getting bang for your buck, you’re also not sad when you reach the end of your favourite skincare tube or bottle.
No more desperate manoeuvres like cutting it open to salvage every precious drop.
Read on for some of your most beloved and the most iconic products that you didn't know have been supersized!
Dermalogica Circular Hydration Serum Jumbo 59ml, $165
If you're someone who genuinely panics when you can see the bottom of your favourite serum bottle, you'll appreciate that many of Dermalogica's bestselling formulas come in generous jumbo sizes.
This hydrating serum works overtime to lock in moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and support hydration from within.
Packed with hardworking, skin-loving ingredients, it's designed to leave your complexion looking plumper, healthier and decidedly less thirsty.
Inside, you'll find a host of hydration and barrier-boosting ingredients like:
Hyaluronic Acid - to offer deep, resilient and hydrated skin that's plumped from the inside out.
Algae Extract-infused Moisturising Matrix - binds water onto the surface of the skin while also stimulating ceramide production within the skin for an enhanced barrier.
Lactobacillus Ferment with Avena Sativa - a blend to help balance the skin's microbiome for a healthier barrier, allowing skin the naturally retain water better.
Polyglutamic Acid - derived from fermented soybean and helps to support the skin's own hydration reserves and creates a film to help minimise water evaporation.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Water Cleanser 500ml, $33.99
There’s a reason this French pharmacy Bioderma micellar water wears a best-selling crown (it has over 500 five-star reviews on Adore Beauty alone).
Take it from someone who once tried the cheaper dupe and instantly regretted it. “Often imitated, never duplicated" applies here, because unlike others on the market that can leave your skin feeling tight or stripped, this one leaves skin soft and hydrated.
Along with the Bioderma micellar cleasning oil, this is my current nightly cleansing routine, and on late nights when I can't be bothered to do the whole routine (I know, a cardinal beauty editor sin), a few cotton rounds soaked in this hardworking micellar water (which, by the way, is incredibly gentle around the eyes) effortlessly removes every last trace of makeup, sunscreen and the day's grime.
I refuse to ever be without it, so I personally like to invest in the 500ml so running out too quickly is never an option.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Water Cleanser reviews from AB customers:
"I use this morning and night to clean / prep my skin before my skincare. Nice cleanser and takes all the leftover product off my skin but doesn't dry it out."
"Best in the market, not sure how many bottles I have finished... I've tried other brands before but nothing compares to Bioderma... ,gentle, non-irritating and yet effective... also in my line of work truly a makeup artist's essential…"
Glasshouse Fragrances A TAHAA AFFAIR 760g Soy Candle, $99.95
Behold, one of Glasshouse’s best-selling candles in a glorious jumbo size so your home can smell like a sweet treat all day long.
Bursting with notes of coconut, vanilla and pineapple, Tahaa Affair is not for the faint-hearted (or fragrance minimalist), but for sweet and vanilla scent-lovers, this soy candle is begging to be used as the centrepiece of your next girls’ night.
Glasshouse Fragrances A TAHAA AFFAIR 760g Soy Candle reviews from AB customers:
"I've repurchased this scent about 5x now. The bigger version is perfect if you have a big room/space to fill. Forever repurchasing."
"Perfect for my open plan living, it's a candle that never goes out of style and the scent is just gorgeous as it fills my home. Obsessed - this is my 6th purchase."
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo 1L, $139
Feel like your strands are looking dry? This popular hydrating shampoo cleanses the hair, leaving it feeling touchable and silky-smooth so you never have to compromise on salon-like results (or risk reaching the end of the bottle too quickly).
For vegan beauty lovers, this is a vegan shampoo that is protein-enriched and has a zero sulphate formula if that’s your preference.
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo reviews from AB customers:
"Pureology products have the best range for all hair types. With frizzy hair it's hard for me to find one that is hydrating that doesn't weigh my hair down - but I love this one and won't be changing any time soon."
"I recently had my hair bleached and dyed red, which left my hair feeling like straw. When I wash it, it'll get sticky and hard as if I put glue in it. So I had to get a gentle hydrating non-stripping shampoo, which I'm glad to say this is. If your hair is oily you probably won't like it as it's very gentle, but if you have fried your hair, this is a very gentle option which will not overstrip it."
Bioderma Atoderm Crème Ultra Nourishing Moisturiser For Dry Skin 500ml, $44.99
If flaking and reptilian skin has taken up seasonal residence on your limbs, a nourishing moisturiser like this one can be a life raft for dry skin.
And for daily use, it only makes sense to upgrade to the 500ml version (which is still only $45).
Non-sticky, it softens and protects through restorative ingredients like niacinamide, glycerine and pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil. Skin is left looking less crocodile-like and more supple and hydrated.
"This is a life-saver during winter. I slather it on after my shower and it's like my skin drinks it up."
"One of the best body moisturisers for sensitive skin. This really makes a huge difference when my skin is very dry. It's super affordable too, which is a big plus."
