Okay so I did a NARS haul on Lookfantastic last week.
I wasn’t planning to. I went on there to reorder my Pureology conditioner (I only ever grab it when I’m actually running low, I’ve learned my lesson about stockpiling things that take up half the bathroom shelf) and then somehow I ended up in the makeup section and somehow there was a NARS order in my basket and somehow I’m not even sorry. I’ve got a full post on that coming soon – but that’s what Lookfantastic does to me. I go for one thing. I leave with a situation.
The thing is, it’s genuinely where I do a lot of my shopping. K-beauty, haircare for my toppers, makeup when I’m feeling dangerous. The range is so much better than most UK pharmacies for the specific stuff I need – and when your scalp is a full-time project and you own four human hair toppers that need actual professional-grade shampoo to stay looking like hair and not wire, you end up needing specific things from specific places.
So this post is about how I actually save money here. Not the vague “sign up for the newsletter” advice. The real breakdown – my code, what I actually buy with it, and the honest truth about when it doesn’t work.
Why I Even Shop at Lookfantastic for This Stuff
Let me back up. My situation is: androgenic alopecia (female pattern hair loss), seborrhoeic dermatitis on both my scalp and face, and type 1 rosacea. I wear human hair toppers and wigs. I have reactive skin that throws a tantrum at the slightest provocation.
This combination means I can’t just grab whatever’s on offer at the drugstore. I need specific things. Antifungal shampoos. Leave-on scalp treatments with the right actives. Haircare that doesn’t contain fatty acid esters that feed Malassezia. Skincare that won’t set off my rosacea while also not triggering the seb derm. It’s a whole situation.
Lookfantastic stocks a lot of the specific brands I need – Philip Kingsley, The INKEY List, K-beauty brands I actually use, Pureology, Kerastase, Color Wow, and a solid makeup range – and the selection is genuinely better than what I can find in most UK pharmacies. So I end up here. A lot. Which means having a working discount code isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s just basic financial sanity.
My Lookfantastic Discount Code and How It Works
The code is LFTFNEVEEN. It gets you 20% off eligible full-price items and I’ve been using it on my own orders for a while now. I tested it this week (July 2026) and it applied at checkout. No drama.
I have a full Lookfantastic discount code page where I keep the current status updated, explain what it works on, what it doesn’t work on, and how it stacks up against the other ways to save (student discount, NHS discount, the welcome offer for new customers). The short version: LFTFNEVEEN is the one that works every time with no verification and no expiry date. If you’re new to Lookfantastic, the newsletter welcome offer gets you 25% off your first order, which beats 20% – use that first, then bookmark my code page for everything after that.

The Scalp Care Products I Actually Buy Here
This is the part no generic “best Lookfantastic deals” post can write. They don’t have my scalp. I do.
My scalp routine took me years to figure out and I’ve written it up properly in my scalp care routine post if you want the full breakdown. But in terms of what I actually reorder from Lookfantastic on rotation:
Philip Kingsley Flaky Itchy Scalp Toner – this is my non-negotiable. Piroctone olamine and salicylic acid, applied at night, left on. It’s the leave-on treatment that actually moved the needle on my seb derm scalp when using medicated shampoo alone wasn’t cutting it. It also goes in the basket first every single time. Available at Lookfantastic. Use LFTFNEVEEN. The price is real, 20% takes the edge off.
The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Scalp Treatment – I use this as a pre-wash on congested scalp days. One of those things I’d been buying elsewhere and then realized was cheaper at Lookfantastic with the code applied. (Classic me.)
Philip Kingsley Flaky Itchy Scalp Shampoo – the gentle rotation option. Not as aggressive as a ketoconazole shampoo but better than nothing for between-washes days when my scalp just needs a calm, sensible cleanse.
If you’re also managing seb derm on your scalp and want to know which products are actually worth looking at – not just the obvious ones, but the ones that work specifically for Malassezia-prone skin – the Seb Derm Scalp and Hair Products Directory is the post I wish had existed when I started figuring this out. Most of what’s in it is stocked at Lookfantastic. The code applies.
For My Hair Toppers: the Pureology Situation
Okay so here’s where I’m going to sound a bit excessive. But I promise there’s logic here.
I wear human hair toppers. Human hair pieces need real products – not necessarily expensive ones for the sake of it, but they need products that aren’t going to destroy the hair fibers or strip the coating that keeps the piece looking like actual hair and not wire. My current rotation for topper care is Pureology Strength Cure shampoo and conditioner.
I know. The price. I know.
I did a whole Pureology Strength Cure review because I needed to justify spending that much on haircare for hair that isn’t even attached to my head. The conclusion: yes, it’s worth it if you’re using it on a human hair piece you want to keep in good condition for longer than six months. The math on “expensive product that makes the piece last longer” versus “cheap product that degrades it faster and you replace the piece sooner” works out differently than it looks at first glance. It’s not a treat. It’s maintenance budget management. That’s what I tell myself, anyway.
20% off Pureology at Lookfantastic with LFTFNEVEEN is the reason I buy it here specifically. It’s not cheap even with the discount, but the code makes it less alarming. I also grab the Pureology Colour Fanatic heat protectant here – I use heat tools on my toppers and I’m not torching a piece that cost several hundred pounds because I skipped that step.
Also worth knowing if you’re in the alternative hair world: the Kerastase range for thinning hair is stocked at Lookfantastic too. I wrote up which Kerastase lines are actually worth it for hair loss if you’re trying to figure out whether any of it justifies the price point. (Short answer: some of it does, a lot of it is marketing, and 20% off makes the “worth it” calculation much more favorable.) The full maintenance routine for pieces is in my human hair topper and wig care guide if you want the whole picture.
The Skincare Side (Rosacea + Seb Derm Face = Very Specific Shopping)
My face is not an easy shopper. Type 1 rosacea (the flushing kind) plus seb derm on my face alongside my scalp means most “sensitive skin” products still manage to be the wrong kind of sensitive for at least one of my two conditions. I’ve been through a lot. A lot a lot.
What I buy at Lookfantastic for my face on repeat: K-beauty brands, mostly. The ones I’ve written about recently – the ones that actually play nice with both my rosacea and my seb derm without sending either of them into a spiral. If you want the full rundown on what’s made it into my actual routine, the Seb Derm Face Skincare Directory has everything I’ve tested and what I actually kept using. Lookfantastic stocks a lot of it, which is convenient when you’re already applying a 20% code to the same order as your Pureology.
The Best Lookfantastic Deals (The Honest Version)
Look, the honest best way to save at Lookfantastic is also the most boring advice: use the code, sign up for the loyalty thing, get the delivery subscription if you’re ordering more than a couple of times a year. I know. Not revelatory. But a lot of people don’t do all three and they’re leaving money on the table every single order.
LFTFNEVEEN at checkout – 20% off eligible full-price items, no expiry. The code page has the full detail on what it applies to and a checkout screenshot so you can see it actually worked.
The Premier Delivery subscription – £9.90 for a year of unlimited next-day delivery on orders over £10. If you’re ordering more than twice a year (I order approximately every three weeks, which says something about my scalp care budget) this pays for itself fast.
The LF Beauty+ loyalty scheme – free to join, you earn points on every order. 500 points equals £5. You also get 400 bonus points just for signing up, which I collected and then completely forgot about until they appeared in my account like a small surprise. There’s also a birthday voucher. Small but free.
The outlet section – up to 60% off selected products plus an extra 5% on outlet items. I’ve found decent stuff in there. Worth a scroll before you buy anything at full price.
The newsletter welcome offer – 25% off your first order if you’re new. Better than my code for a first order. Use it. Then come back for LFTFNEVEEN on everything after that.
The one thing I’ve learned from shopping here this much: always check your basket total after applying the code before you pay. Occasionally Lookfantastic runs a sitewide promotion that’s actually better than 20%. On those days, use the sitewide one. The goal is the biggest discount, not loyalty to a specific method.
What LFTFNEVEEN Doesn’t Work On (Being Honest About It)
New launches sometimes. Gift sets that are already on a promotional price. Certain brands that have opted out of influencer codes (it doesn’t happen often but it does happen). Anything already in a flash sale that beats 20%.
If the code isn’t applying, the almost-always reason is that one item in your basket is excluded. Remove items one at a time until the code applies, then figure out which one was the problem. Usually a gift set or a very new launch. I’ve done this. It’s mildly annoying. Worth doing.

FAQ
What is the best Lookfantastic discount code right now?
LFTFNEVEEN for 20% off eligible full-price items – tested July 2026. New customers also get 25% off their first order via the newsletter sign-up, which beats 20% for a first order only. After that, LFTFNEVEEN is the one.
Does Lookfantastic stock Philip Kingsley?
Yes. The Flaky Itchy Scalp Toner and Shampoo are both there, plus the rest of the range. LFTFNEVEEN applies.
Does Lookfantastic stock Pureology?
Yes. I buy Pureology Strength Cure shampoo and conditioner here with my code. The price is what it is, but 20% off makes it slightly less alarming.
Is the Lookfantastic discount code good for skincare?
Yes – K-beauty brands, most full-price skincare items, and a lot of the seb derm and rosacea-friendly products I write about are included. The code page has the full list of what’s excluded.
How do I save the most at Lookfantastic?
New customers: use the newsletter welcome offer (25% off first order). Returning customers: LFTFNEVEEN for 20% off. Stack with the Premier Delivery subscription and the LF Beauty+ loyalty points for ongoing savings on every order.
Does LFTFNEVEEN work on Kerastase?
It depends on current exclusions – some premium brands opt out. Check the basket total after applying the code to confirm. When it does work on Kerastase, the saving is actually meaningful given the price point.
