The lead offer on this page is the 4 free gifts when you spend over $69, redeemed with the promo code shown at the top of the page. That code is best if you plan to hit at least $69 and want a selection of four travel or sample items across skin care, toiletries, fragrances and men's grooming.
Very large carts ($105 and up): If your order reaches $105, the free full size mystery gift that is applied automatically at checkout is likely the better pick for value since it gives a full size product rather than samples. Use the $105 threshold offer if you want a single, larger free product; this offer does not require a code.
Mid size carts ($75 to $104.99): Spend $75 or more and you can choose 4 travel essentials automatically at checkout. That competes directly with the 4 free gifts over $69, so compare which set of items you prefer. If you are already at $75, the choose 4 travel essentials is automatic and needs no code; the $69 code still applies but requires entering the promo at checkout.
Lower mid carts ($69 to $74.99): Use the 4 free gifts code above, because it activates at $69 and is the only gift with that lower threshold. For example, on a $70 order, the code gets you the four free gifts when you apply it at checkout, whereas the $75 choose 4 option is not yet available.
Near low spend ($60 to $68.99): Spend $60 and you automatically receive the Moisture Surge Duo. If you are between $60 and $68.99, the $60 free Moisture Surge Duo is the only automatic gift available without a code.
Buying gift sets or sets on sale: If your cart is mostly gift sets or curated sets, the up to 50% off sale on gift sets or on sets can give greater monetary saving than a free gift. Sale discounts apply only to selected sale items; if your $120 cart is entirely sale sets and every item is eligible for 50% off, the price halves. The last chance sale of up to 30% applies at checkout but cannot be used with any other offer, so do not try to combine it with gift thresholds.
Subscriptions and newsletter: If you want recurring deliveries, the 10% off subscription only applies to subscription plans. If you are a first time shopper and can get the newsletter 15% off, that may beat the free gift on small baskets, for example, on a $60 order, 15% off reduces the total to $51, saving $9 compared with no price discount.

When deciding, compare final totals and pick the option that leaves the lower price or gives the free product you value more. Only use the promo code when the 4 free gifts code is the best outcome; otherwise take the automatic gift at the higher threshold or the sale discount that reduces your cart the most.
