Maelove is a skincare store whose own page title promises luxury-style formulas without the luxury markups. Whether that holds is for you to judge, but the pricing is easy to read: most of the bestsellers sit at one of just a few price points. Here is a walk through the catalog using the prices listed on the store, which can change.
The $32.95 tier
The bulk of the bestsellers are priced at $32.95. That group includes:
- Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum
- Night Renewer Glycolic Acid Cream
- Hydrator Hyaluronic Acid B5 Serum
- NIA 10 Niacinamide Serum
- Stargaze Enhanced Retinol Serum
- Super Smooth AHA + BHA Resurfacing Serum
- Eye Enhancer De-Puffing Peptide Cream
The names are mostly ingredient-led, which makes it simple to see what a product is built around. If you are new to actives like retinol, glycolic acid or AHA/BHA, read the directions on the product page before layering them.
A step up: $36.95 to $39.95
Three bestsellers cost a little more. The Hydro Relief Peptides & Amino Acids Cream is listed at $36.95. The Moonlight Advanced Retinal Night Serum and the Fade Away Brightening Serum are each $39.95.
The Peptide Squad Collagen Renewal Serum is listed at $47.95, and the Forever Firm Neck Treatment is the most expensive bestseller at $49.95. Neither reaches $50, which matters for shipping, below.
Shipping
The store's banner offers free shipping on US orders over $50. A single $32.95 product will not qualify, but two of them come to $65.90, which does. Even the $49.95 neck treatment falls five cents short on its own. If you were planning to buy one item, adding a second often costs less than it looks once shipping is taken off.
Choosing by ingredient
Because so many products share the same $32.95 price, the choice is about ingredients rather than budget. The bestsellers cover a vitamin C serum, a niacinamide serum, a hyaluronic acid serum, an AHA + BHA serum, retinol and retinal serums, a glycolic acid cream, a peptide eye cream and a neck treatment. Pick the formula whose ingredient you already know you want, and keep the number of new products small.
Building a small routine
A simple way to keep the total sensible is to choose one serum and one cream from the $32.95 group. That comes to $65.90 before any offers, which clears the shipping line. Anything beyond that is optional; the premium serum and the neck treatment together add $97.90 at listed prices, so decide whether you want them before you reach checkout.
How to pay less
The offers we track include a 10% off storewide code and several 10% off select-item codes, plus a 30% off offer on the Full Follicle Routine. Free shipping and a newsletter offer also appear. Select-item codes only cover certain products, so read the terms before assuming your cart qualifies. We keep the current list on our Maelove coupons page.
If you have sensitive skin, a skin condition or are pregnant, check with your doctor or dermatologist before trying new active ingredients.
