Macy’s has several sales and markdowns throughout the year, but few are as exciting as the Macy’s Friends and Family Sale, which is live through May 5. Until then, you can get up to an extra 30% off select items from designer, luxury and even already-discount items with the promo code FRIEND.
To score the markdown, look for items labeled FRIEND for an extra 10% to 30% off regular and already-reduced prices on everything from men’s, women’s and kid’s clothes, to fragrances, jewelry, beauty and even home goods.
To get you started, I’ve taken a spin through all of the sections to find what I think are some of the very best brands and items on sale, from a dermatologist-recommended facial toning device to the back-smoothing bra that one review said «lifts the girls where they belong.» Take a look below at 11 of our favorite deals.

We spoke to dermatologists about how to build a good anti-aging skin care routine in your 50s and 60s, and many experts recommended NuFACE’s facial toner, a microcurrent device that’s like getting an at-home face lift.
The microcurrents within the tiny device mimic the body’s natural electrical charge and strengthen facial muscles over time. When used five times a week for over a couple of months, the device can improve your facial contour, elasticity, skin tone and lead to wrinkle reduction.
This Mini version of the brand’s best-selling Trinity device is a great introductory tool and it comes with some of the brand’s best-selling serums to use alongside the device.

These 550 thread count sheets are a Macy’s best seller. Because they’re made of natural, breathable, 100% cotton, they’re a great choice for those who are hot sleepers.

In our guide to skin care routines in your 50s, dermatologists recommend the Klaris Supple Preparation Toner, which include hyaluronic acid — i.e. that moisture-boosting ingredient dermatologists love.
Instead of a stripping toner that leaves your skin feeling dry and tight, this one rebalances the skin’s pH and prepares it to absorb your pricey serums and moisturizers after.

A good bra can be hard to find, but this back-smoothing style from Vanity Fair is a Macy’s best seller with more than 2,300 reviews and a 4.5-star rating.
What makes it unique is that it’s designed for fuller figures and larger busts — from 36C to 44DD. «This bra lifts the girls where they belong,» said one five-star reviewer. «The wide straps and back make the bra more comfortable than others.»

If you’re using any kind of retinoid product in your skin care routine — as you should be if you’re trying to target the signs of aging! — then you absolutely need to be wearing an SPF product during the day, according to the dermatologists we spoke to in our guide to building a skin care routine in your 50s.
Laura Mercier’s Natural Skin Perfector SPF 30 is a good daily wear option if you want some color to your complexion without wearing a face full of makeup. The formula includes hydrating oils that’ll soothe aging, overly sensitive skin that’s being introduced to retinols, while the sun protection ingredients will save your skin from the damaging effects of UV radiation.

It’s made of a stretch performance fabric that makes it comfortable for travel and wearing for a full day of work and play. It’s available in sizes 36S to 50L.
Plus, this suit has a 4.2-star rating among over 1,300 reviewers. Many reviewers mention buying this suit for their husband or son. «This suit is fabulous,» said one five-star reviewer. «Its like it is tailor made. My Husband looks sooo good in it and you will too.»

For those who suffer from dull, dry skin, Clinique’s Dramatically Different moisturizer is a must-have in your beauty arsenal. Skin loses its ability to stay hydrated and lock in moisture as it ages. This moisturizer is made with glycerin and humectants that naturally occur in the skin to help draw in moisture and lock it into thirsty skin.
Plus, over 11,000 Macy’s reviewers have given it a 4.6-star rating. Many reviewers are decades-long users of this moisturizer for one simple reason: It works for them. «I always come back to using dramatically different moisturizer,» said one five-star reviewer. «Started using this in 1980 and hands down the best. Does not cause reaction and makes skin look dewy and supple.»
Another reviewer put it best when they said, «I am 60 years old, shortly to be 61, and this is the only moisturizer that you need. It is the best I often get told that I look like I’m 40 and I’ve been using Clinique for at least 40 years.»

This serum has a whopping 22,000 reviews on Macy’s, but we aren’t surprised. It’s an ultimate anti-aging oil- and water-based serum that mimics the skin’s natural barrier to boost hydration, reduce inflammation and redness, soften the skin and improve texture, turn over new skin cells and fight wrinkle-causing free radicals.
It’s a «no brainer» according to one five-star reviewer. «This is a brilliant product. I use it every night. My skin drinks it up and instantly feels and looks so much better. Highly recommended.»
Another five-star reviewer had this to say: «I use this Clarins Double serum everyday and I can really see a difference. My face looks smoother, healthier, fresher and more moisturised than ever before. This is now part of my daily routine and I love it.»
