Save on Oprah’s ‘favorite’ Barbara Sturm skincare at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Nordstrom’s a great place to find your new favorite thing.

And with the department store’s extensive Anniversary Sale ending on August 3, there are less than three days left to save on exclusive luxury beauty bundles like the Dr. Barbara Sturm SturmGlow Serum Essentials Set.

Oprah’s such a fan of the brand that she became an investor after trying its products (at the recommendation of her friend Stella McCartney, no less).

“I have never done that before. Ever,” she said during a Hearst talk with the skincare founder in 2023. “That’s how good the products are.”

In 2022, Oprah featured Sturm’s Glow Drops (included in Nordstrom’s exclusive set) and Enzyme Cleanser on her “Favorite Things” list, writing, “This is how I keep my skin glowing.”

The bestselling drops promise to revitalize and rejuvenate tired, dull skin using ingredients like polygonum bistorta root (an anti-aging powerhouse) and wild rose extract (to refine pores and even out the complexion).

“I love [them] most and use [them] on days I don’t want to wear makeup,” Oprah wrote at the time.

One year later, the media mogul gifted Sturm’s products to her pals for the holidays, calling the skincare brand “a must-have in my beauty cabinet” while sharing a Facebook video of the present-filled party.

“They were so excited it was like I gave them Birkin bags or something,” she quipped on TikTok.

Superstar Sturm fans also include Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Katie Holmes, the latter of whom told Vogue in 2022, I haven’t done anything to my face, and I care about using products with ingredients I know.”

For a slightly more affordable starting point, Nordstrom also sells a Glow Kit featuring travel-size versions of the full regimen.
