SkinCareRx: FREE $20 eGift Card=FREE Items!



UPDATE: Deal is DEAD!
Wow! More than Cents just emailed me about this awesome deal:

SkinCareRx currently has a sweet promotion available! You can go on over here and sign up yourself and 4 friends to each get a FREE $20 eGift Card! There is NO minimum purchase required to use these cards! However, it is a limit of one per customer, per household. You should receive an email with instructions on how to get your gift card. Follow the instructions (takes about 1 minute) and then you'll receive an additional email with your eGift Card code!

Once you get your gift card code it can be used on SkinCareRx or two of their partner sites Apothica and SkinBotanica! There are various products priced at $20 or less. Some even offer FREE shipping! Just give yourself some time to browse around the above sites and see what you can find. The best part--the gift card code covers shipping too!

To make this deal even better (if that's possible), you can go through Ebates! You'll get 10% cash back from your purchases and a $5 bonus if you're a new member. Plus, you can get an additional $30 for referring 3 friends!

Let us know what items you're able to snag!

Is anyone else having trouble with their code. I am in the checkout screen trying to enter my number in and it keeps adding dashes, and the more I delete the dashes, the more they add! Just wondering if anyone found a trick when the site goes wacky on them! Thanks

Unknown said...

If you can't get it to work, Just call customer service. I couldn't get mine to work either and I called and they were very nice and helpful. You can only use either the gift card or the promo code and not both. AND it will apply to shipping costs, so keep that in mind.To Order or for Customer Service

And this is my husbands account...I'm Mary BTW. I got a Glycolic face wash $16 +$5.95 s/h for $1.95 after shipping! I'd hurry before they change this or their website crashes!

Anonymous said...

okay, I am NOT getting the emails they are sending to sign up. Is there anything special you NEED to do?

Unknown said...

You just need to click on the link they send you in the email. Then a few minutes later you'll get another on in your Inbox with the free Promo code.

Yay! I Just got a lip plumper for FREE! It was $14 + $5.95 shipping and it came to $19.95! Then I used the $20 code and didn't even have to input my credit card info! Thanks Hip!:)

Dara said...

OK so i received the initial... you have been invited... but i have yet to receive the code... how long did it take before you all received yours?

thanks for your help!

Anonymous said...

I got my code within seconds after submitting my info. I wonder if they're getting too much traffic.

rbabe1 said...

The site is beyond sloooooow, but I got some DuWop Venom lipgloss for cheap!

There's also Essie nail polishes ($8) on Apothica.

Anonymous said...

And... website down.

Dara said...

i think the site has officially crashed!

Kate said...

I called Customer Service, they mentioned that using IE 8.0 was creating some of the problems with the adding dashes.

Anonymous said...

Wow. I can't get them to send the code... did everyone else's just come immediately? I've been waiting twenty minutes!

bellsmommy said...

Anon,
did you get the 'Our Gift to You' e-mail? The code is in very light blue letters on the top/center of the page.

Michelle said...

Check your spam box. I found my code there!

Anonymous said...

Weird. I just tried sending it again to a different email address and it showed right up! Still nothing from the first attempt. Oh well! Now just waiting for their server to get up.

Anonymous said...

I also got the invitation, and clicked the link. Still no gift card number yet. I tried the link again and it says that I have already gotten mine. hmm.. I guess it is just taking them awhile to send the codes.

mathmomof2 said...

Hip2Save - You continue to amaze me with your deals!! I was able to get two Essie Nail products shipped for $1.95 total! Thank you again Hip2Save and thanks to rbabe1 for the heads up on the Essie products!!

Cherilyn said...

Yea! theBalm Stainiac lip stain for $.95! I (heart) hip2save!

Anonymous said...

I was able to get the gift card, but they must have changed it so that it wouldn't apply to the shipping. Oh well.

The Burleys said...

It takes a while to get the 2nd email, y'all. Just be patient ... I waited almost 2 hours for mine.

Awesome!! I got a brow polisher from Stila for free! I've been wanting to try this but I didn't want to pay $20 OOP for it - now I can try it free!
Thanks Hip2save

Unknown said...

I got:
Topix Waterproof Hydrating Cream Sunscreen SPF 30 Qty: 1 $12.95

Which is 4 oz without even having to put in my credit card info! I'm always happy about that :)

I used Firefox, which seems to be working better than IE for the site.

if any of you are swag buck collectors, there is a new code out, check the latest blog. code is good til 5:15pm PDT

Danielle Miller said...

OMG the site is so slow. But it's a money maker. I'm going through Mr. Rebates, and since I won't have any OOP, it should still make at least a dollar for me!

Tricia said...

Thanks Hip2Save for another great deal. Got some Essie Nail Polish and some Hand Soap for $20.55 (with shipping), final cost .55cents which I paid from paypal from my YouData deposit today. Woohoo thank-you again.

Dara said...

OK so i must have done something wrong... i still havent received my code! still tryin' though!!

Honey Diva said...

For some reason it won't send if you have AOL mail...I tried 5 times...I then sent it to my husband's email from hotmail and we immediately got it.

mrs. b said...

Honey Diva-
Thanks, I will try that. I was having the same problem...none of the AOL emails would work, just sent it to me yahoo....hopefully it works! thanks!

mrs. b said...

honey diva-

thanks it WORKED!!! woohoo! I thought maybe it was just MY computer or something, lol.

Cali said...

I can't use the gift card to pay for shipping. My item is only $13 but requires $6.95 shipping charge to complete my order. Booo!

Anonymous said...

Make sure you put the code in as a Gift Card number, NOT Promo code.

I orderd the M2 HP Skin Refinish. I've wanted to try it forever, but the 44.50 price was too high for me. This promo was perfect-20 bucks off. I got free shipping too, not sure how that happened as I didn't spend $50, but the order confirmation showed my credit card was billed $24.50. Thanks (again) Hip2Save!

Oh, I forgot to add, the site was soooooo slow. I almost gave up a bunch of times, but eventually it went through.

Anonymous said...

Crazy. The shipping and prices on items are going up as I shop. Might just give up on this one...

Rita said...

i just ordered an oatmeal soap and got to the thank you screen so its still working. Thank you

tori said...

I've had lots of trouble getting on, and then it allowed me to use the GC towards shipping and the page froze. I refreshed and now it's not allowing me to use the GC for shipping. Anyone else having this problem??

Cha said...

Unless it's my internet connection, it's not letting me on the site at all.

Anonymous said...

the deals dead,but they're offering 20% discount.

MamaMataUSMC said...

Just got this when I tried to claim my GC:

FINALLY! After trying off and on all night, I finally got my order to go through! Got the Logona Volume Shampoo - shipping and everything totally free! Woo Hoo!

Kitty said...

I just ordered some hand wash for 13.00 with the shipping my total came to 19.95. So, with the gift certificate it was totally free. The site is really slow and I had to keep trying to get in. I didn't have to enter any credit card info or paypal just the gift certificate. Thanks Hip!

Anonymous said...

Interesting, as I just got it to work at Skinbotanica. I got a hand repair cream for $13 plus $6.95 shipping which used the entire $20, so I didn't have to enter a credit card at all. It took a LONG time to get through (much refreshing of the site) but I got a confirmation of my order for no cost.

Erin said...

The promtion is suspeded due to overwhelming demand.

Thanks Hip! I got a brow enhancer for $1.95. You gotta love freebies like this,

mrs. b said...

FINALLY!!!! After getting the gift card over an hour ago, it just went thru!! Got a lip balm & moisturizing lip blam for FREE!!!!Thanks!

Shannon said...

I just barely checked out on Apothica..Everything went very smooth and the site wasn't too slow at all. I got a brow enhancer for $1.95.

Anonymous said...

thanks HIP !

the giftcard can be applied to shipping i just cleared the text box that said 'amount of gift card being used' and changed it to the total and my grand total was $0

Anonymous said...

Weird. My order just went through on Apothica. It was a bit slow, but I had no problems using the GC to cover an Essie polish and shipping cost. Just make sure you enter it as a gift card on the final checkout screen NOT as a promo code under the view my cart section.

MamaMataUSMC said...

Well even though it said they changed the promo it still sent me a GC number and I was able to use it on the Lip moisturizer and it even covered the shipping! Awesome deal thanks so much HiptoSave!
But I forgot to go thru Ebates is there any way to still get the order applied so I can get the 10% back?

Honey Diva said...

No problem mrs b! Now my order has been processing for quite some time now...ugh.

Anonymous said...

I tried a couple of differnt items and it won't let the gift card pay for the shipping which is 6.95. I didn't have any issues using the gift card though.

Celia Emmons said...

I just got the "theBalm Balm Voyage Lip Kit" w/ 3 travel size lip glosses for $1.90! It covered my S&H! I didn't put the promo code in until it asked for gift cards, and everything was smooth sailing from there! It is moving very very slowly, though! Thanks hip2save!

Anonymous said...

I was having the same problem it was taking too long to process the order so I called and placed an order, the lady over the phone said that once there system is back online they will send me a confirmation..anyways I still have not received an email from them.Will wait and see what happens.

Anonymous said...

Make sure to change the amount to be used for the gift card!! That's how you get it to cover some/all of the shipping.

Here is some info on using gift C from skincare rx.I waited 1 hour and some and hit refresh.would not go thur then I clicked on help with gift C and did what it said and went right thur.Gift Certificate Help
To use a Gift Certificate, enter the Gift Certificate number into the box in the Gift Certificate area. If the Gift Certificate is valid, the check mark will light up.


***IMPORTANT : You must enter in the code exactly as it appears on the Gift Certificate. This means including all letters, numbers, and dashes in the order they are shown to you. (see Gift Certificate below.)


An easy way to do this is by highlighting the number with your mouse, copying it and then pasting it right into the checkout page.
Once you have the Gift Certificate number entered you can change the amount you want to use in the Amount to Be Used box.

You can add another Gift Certificate by clicking Add Another Gift Certificate. This will cause another Gift Certificate box to appear.

Thanks so much for posting this! Just scored some Korres Body Butter, Ive heard so much about Korres I cant believe I just got some free, no cc or paypal, the gc covered it completely! Thanks H2S and morethancents!

Jessica said...

I got my GC# early this evening and couldn't get my order to go through but just now I tried it. It worked great! I got the Mustela 2in1 baby body wash for $12 with $6.95 shipping =$18.95. The gift card covered it including the shipping. It was much faster now. You might want to try again if you have a number and haven't been able to use it.

MamaMataUSMC said...

I spoke too soon my order wasn't processed all the way I waited & waited. Finally pressed refresh and it won't include my shipping now....annoying. What's going on?

MamaMataUSMC said...

Ok so I tried just adding any item to get my total over $49 for the free shipping, once it applied the free shipping I when thru the checkout and removed the item I was using to push my total over and it worked to get the GC to apply towards shipping. Order processed thru to success! Hope that works to help anyone else having the same problem.

fran said...

MamamataUSMC,
At the top of your order form, it reads $20.00 (that's how much your gift card is) and next to that how much is being used from the $20.00...highlight that figure and change it to your total, up to $20.00. I changed mine to $19.95 and my balance became $.00. After I did my order, I noticed others have given the same advise.

Thanks Collin, I wasn't going to do this because I thought you had to refer other people, but I just put hubby's name, and he referred me, and I got it pretty quick.

leah said...

yay! I got theBalm Vogage eye shadow 3 pc kit! excited 2 get it!

They are going to cancel our orders!!!!! I am SURE OF IT!

mommy308 said...

I couldn't get the page to even load for me earlier but I just tried again and everything went through fine. I ended up getting the Peter Thomas Roth Pink Bombshell Lip Balm that was $20 and free s&h! YAY! Thanks for posting this for all of us! With school getting ready to start up (and if you are like me already thinking about Christmas)it's hard for a mother to stop for a minute to do something for herself. So this is very much appreciated! Thanks again!

Lolo said...

Deal Is dead! I tried geting on earlier and couldn;t. now it tells me it is over due to overwhelming demand but instead are offering a 20% off coupon instead. They did say ALL already existing gift cards would be honored so congrats to those of you who got them!

Shelly T. said...

I finally got it to work for me. I changed the dollar amount on the right side to $20.00. I ended up having to pay $2.95 and it said that amount was too low to charge to a credit card, so I had to use paypal. Finally went through.

Anonymous said...

i got a code, but it keeps saying it's invalid. it won't process.. ugh.. o well.

heather said...

Ahhhh ... let the annoyances continue! I just got an email this morning saying the product I ordered is on backorder. Wonder how long it will take them to actually get it to me!

Anonymous said...

I just tried this morning and it said due to overwhelming demand, the promo is over. DEAD deal! too bad, this was a great freebie.

Alicia said...

Missed out, but love cosmetics. If anyone isn't going to use their code now that it's charging shipping, please e-mail! amichaelis @ juno.com (no spaces). Thanks!

cent_saving_mom said...

Thanks for sharing the deal I blogged about. Looks like yourself and many of your readers got to take advantage of it. Before we know it we'll be able to try those new products and hopefully see some product reviews.

Andrea said...

I think it can still be used for shipping-- just change the amount to be used field to cover it. It worked for me and I didn't have to put in my cc info. My six month old is going to get to learn about bubbles in his tub!

autumn said...

Yahoo! I got my code last night but was unable to order because their system was down. After reading the comments, I was afraid it wouldn't work, but I just ordered 2 Essie nail polish for $2.95 shipped! Yay!

Anonymous said...

I already had my code and tried forEVER last night but it was so SLOW! Tried it this morning and it worked! I had to change the amount it the GC box, but it worked and covered shipping. Yay!I got a Calendula Soap and the Deep Steep stick.

Unknown said...

I ordered shower gel and soap, got 2 free items, wow great deal! Thanks So Much

Shirley said...

Got my code last night but was REALLY annoyed with the speed of the website so I went to bed. Code worked fine just now-----went to Apothica and got Demeter Jelly Belly Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler Fragrance for 16.95+6.95 S&H. Paid only 3.90 and had no problem using my code for both item and shipping and my credit card for the remaining $3.90. Thanks for such a nice freebie (or for me, almost freebie).

Holly said...

I finaly got it to work this afternoon after giving up in frustration last night. I got the 4 pack of mini Essie nailpolishes for $3.95. Not bad. I'll take 4 nailpolshes for less than $1 each shipped. Thanks!!!

Anonymous said...

Indymom-

Yay! just ordered my 2 bars of soap. My total was$18.85 and the gift card covered it all! Didn't have to put in a credit card info. I ordered 2 bars of natural/organic soaps in Sage and in Rosemary. Can't wait. The one bar is on backorder but oh well it's still not bad for free, I'm willing to wait.

Just got an e-mail (another e-mail) from them saying this was my last chance to get the $20 gift card!! I don't know how I got a second one in my e-mail but when I entered my info it said that e-mail address was already in use so I used a different one and it went through. WOW!!

Last anon - same here. And I got my order from the first gift card today. Hope they won't cancel the second one!
