An update on the SkinCareRX offer--even better than I thought!
Edit: After I posted this, the site started getting hammered and it is now running incredibly slow. It also appears they have raised some of their prices and it's possible that they are no longer allowing the gift card to pay for the shipping costs as well. I am not completely sure on that, though, so if you are able to get through to try and place an order, let us know what your experience is.
Also, I placed my order this afternoon and I've already received confirmation that it has been shipped out. How's that for quick customer service?!
I posted the SkinCareRX gift card offer earlier and I just finished placing my own order and realized that this deal is even better than I originally thought! Right now, the free $20 gift card is covering the shipping costs as well so if you order something for $14 or less, it should be entirely free.
I ordered some Logona Shampoo from Skin Botanica which retails for $13.50 (they just raised the price tonight to $17.50 so this is no longer free) and I paid $0.00 out of pocket for it! Best of all? The whole process took me under five minutes to complete!
Go here for the instructions on how to get your $20 gift card. Then, go to SkinCareRX, Apothica, or Skin Botanica and find something which is priced at less than $14. There are a number of different all natural and organic skin care products here, here, and here which are $14 or less and will be free with this gift card offer!
Add the $14 or less product(s) to your cart and checkout paying with your $20 gift card. The gift card should cover the shipping, too, and if you choose your gift card and Paypal as your payment methods you'll not only pay $0.00 out of pocket, but you'll also not have to input your credit card information.
What did you order for free? Let us know!
Thanks for letting us know about this one. I just got myself some fancy soap!

I just ordered myself Estion sunscreen with zinc SPF 38 ($13.95). When I went to check out, it was only applying $13.95 of the gift certificate to my order, but I was easily able to change it myself and it applied $19.90, the total with shipping. Also, I did not even check that I was paying with PayPal and it never asked for any payment information.

I'm doing something wrong. Every time I click on the link in the email they sent, it just takes me to a page that says to enter my name and email address. When I do, it takes me back to the page asking for five of my friends. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for all the hard work you do to help us provide for our families!

Thanks for this! I just got a 24oz bath salt for $.95 shipped after the gift card was applied! I used paypal so I didn't have to enter card numbers

How long did it take to get emails back? I have been waiting, but no email back at all.
Posted by: Carrie | July 17, 2009 at 04:46 PM
I'm having the same trouble getting my gift card. I'm in an endless loop between their site and my e-mail. (Just like Julie).
Posted by: Amy | July 17, 2009 at 04:47 PM
If you're having problems using the gift card, here is what I suggest. I didn't go through PayPal, it kept giving me an error. But since my total after shipping was less than the GC, it didn't ask for CC info. To get the system to take the card #, I first copied it into notepad, removed all the dashes, pasted that into the field then clicked out of the field. It added all the dashes correctly and took just a couple seconds, but pulled in gift card info. I ordered from Apothica, their Pure White Tea Rose Toner for 13.95, total 19.90 so it was free.

To all who are having trouble getting the gift card - when you click on the link in the "SkinCareRx Gift Certificate Invitation" email, it should take you to a page that says "Claim Your $20 Gift Card." You have to enter your name and email address again and click "send", and you should get another email titled "Our Gift to You" with your gift certificate code in the email. Then you can enter that gift certificate code in the gift certificate field at checkout and you're good to go! Also, I didn't have to enter my credit card information (even without selecting Paypal) since the gift certificate covered my total.
I ordered the Honey Almond body lotion for $14, so it came to $19.95 total. What a great promotion! Thank you for letting us know about it Crystal!
Posted by: Karen | July 17, 2009 at 05:03 PM
Check your email again. You should get a second one with the code.
Posted by: Finance Girl | July 17, 2009 at 05:03 PM
I am not getting an email at all. I called the help # and they said they would resend it, but no email at all. How long did it take to get the email that needed to be confirmed? Was it instant or hours delay?
Posted by: Carrie | July 17, 2009 at 05:12 PM
Hey
Thanks a ton for this offer! I just ordered a Colorescience Eye Pencil - Baby Blue Eyes ! Looks nice and my order processed without any glitches! Love it :)
Posted by: Nunu | July 17, 2009 at 05:15 PM
Thanks, that an awesome deal. I got the linen spray for 17.95 total.
Posted by: Amy Sanders | July 17, 2009 at 05:19 PM
Thanks so much! I just got 2 bars of organic soap for free!! That is awesome! It took a little longer than 5 min for me but I think that is just because the site is overloaded right now. I am so excited to get my free soap!
Posted by: Samantha Witt | July 17, 2009 at 05:19 PM
I just ordered
Deep Steep Moisture Stick - Tangerine Melon Qty: 1 $5.00
Deep Steep Moisture Stick - Honeydew Spearmint Qty: 2 $4.50
Didn't pay a thing. My dry, cracked heels thank you! :)
Posted by: Amy @ Finer Things | July 17, 2009 at 05:22 PM
I ordered the Fruits & Passion Fruit Foaming Bath in Pear Peony for $13 plus $5.95 for shipping = FREE after using the gift card and I did not have to enter credit card info at checkout.
I LOVE all of the great deals everyone posts every single day! This is seriously the absolute best site ever!!!!!
Sincerely,
Another "Money Saving Mom" :)

Check your spam or bulk email for the gift certificate. That's where mine was. You should receive the email almost immediately.
Posted by: Caren | July 17, 2009 at 05:27 PM
Carrie... Did you make sure to put yourself as one of the 5 "friends"? If you just fill in your name at the top then they can't send you an email.
Posted by: Erica W | July 17, 2009 at 05:37 PM
No trouble until I tried to check out. I called Customer Service and spoke with Ashley. She said that they are having trouble with their server and are working on it. Try back in a few minutes and hopefully it will work. If you want, they will call you back too. I guess when the server is up and running good.
Posted by: JK | July 17, 2009 at 05:42 PM
Thanks! What a great deal! Seems like the server is OVERWHELMED!!!! All of us Money Saving Mom fans must be logging on at the same time! :)
Posted by: Heather | July 17, 2009 at 05:55 PM
I think we crashed the site! I got the email and could open up the link 20 minutes ago but now it isn't working. I wonder if they are going to sell our of the offers or if as long as you have a code you can use it later?
Hope I can still get something! Thanks for posting this.
Posted by: Jennifer | July 17, 2009 at 06:03 PM
I think they fixed it now so that you have to pay for shipping. The website is still very slow, but even though I only had $14 in my cart, it still wanted to charge me $5.95 for shipping. Bummer. So I added $5 more to my total to make it a better deal.
Posted by: Michelle | July 17, 2009 at 06:11 PM
You can also sweeten this deal even further by using a promo code. SHOPRES10 will give you 10% off your entire order.
Posted by: misty | July 17, 2009 at 06:12 PM
Yayyy! Fun on a Friday shopping for free! I just got the Lonona Volume Shampoo-Honey Beer, $18.70 total with shipping and came out with a ZERO balance! Thank you, Thank you!
Posted by: chris | July 17, 2009 at 06:22 PM
Having trouble here too with applying the gift certificate. Even with copy/paste it is adding extra dashes and not giving me the ability to apply the GC. will try again later.
Posted by: Tina | July 17, 2009 at 06:23 PM
I got a bottle of grapefruit body wash and some tangerine foaming hand soap and ended up paying $1.95. What a steal!!! If you are going to do this, just be prepared to be very patient as it took me over an hour to get it processed. It will work, it just takes forever. Patience is a virtue, right? :)
Posted by: Sarah | July 17, 2009 at 06:23 PM
I was able to get Waleda organic baby wash for $.95 shipped. Deals for natural/organic products are rare! Thanks!
Posted by: sarah | July 17, 2009 at 06:24 PM
I'm having trouble checking out too. I waited FOREVER after I clicked place order and it finally just said Error on Page :(
Posted by: Chrissy | July 17, 2009 at 06:29 PM
Remember---you can only use the eGift certificate OR the promo codes that have been listed here in one transaction. I tried to use both, but a screen popped up and said that, so I returned to my order screen and removed the promo code. When I processed the order that time, the site would only run the gift certificate amount for the amount my total had been previously ($18.85)...so due to that I had to pay $1.40 through my Paypal account. I emailed customer service, so I will see what can be done about this. I know it's only $1.40 but it was supposed to have been free. :-(
Posted by: Ashley A. | July 17, 2009 at 06:32 PM
Thank you!! I just ordered the organic citrus body wash.
Posted by: denise | July 17, 2009 at 06:34 PM
the link is now broken, i cannot even get to the page to get the gift card.
Posted by: alicia | July 17, 2009 at 06:50 PM
I just ordered the Linden & Pomegranate Soaps and a Deep Steep moisture stick! Thanks for posting this!
Posted by: Erica W | July 17, 2009 at 07:00 PM

Just called customer service-- the website has crashed from all of the users taking advantage of the promotion!!! They are taking phone orders, though, and are happy to apply your e-gift card. Great service!
Posted by: Ellen Drake | July 17, 2009 at 07:23 PM
The site is having trouble loading, I was going to order a $12.95 shower gel, with $5.95 shipping.. I had to close and reopen.. now its saying the price is $15.95 and $6.95 shipping... um.. did they really just raise the prices?
Posted by: Paige | July 17, 2009 at 07:32 PM
So many wonderful things to choose from! I got the derma e Vanilla Bean Cleansing Mousse and paid $0!
Posted by: Frugal Femina | July 17, 2009 at 07:34 PM
I'm thinking they fixed it now, as it is now saying I must pay for shipping. Bummer! Still a great deal, but I'm too cheap to pay for shipping for stuff I don't "need" :)
Posted by: Summer | July 17, 2009 at 07:39 PM
and now they took the shipping out of the gift card, as well as raising the price of it!!.. not impressed
Posted by: Paige | July 17, 2009 at 07:43 PM
I just ordered two Deep Steep mini body scrubs, and with shipping it was just less than $20, so it was totally free! Thank you so much!
Posted by: Alice | July 17, 2009 at 07:44 PM
This was a great deal. I just started a money/budget blog and this was a great deal to try out to post about. I linked back to your original post (giving you credit, of course!) but I was able to do this rather easily and ended up getting some fantastic looking body butter...I can't wait til it gets here! Thank you for sharing!!!

My advice... pick your products and then call... the lady i talked to was so nice and said she would "take care of me" which means my two items for free since I didnt' give anyform of payment!! :D
Posted by: diana | July 17, 2009 at 07:52 PM
My order has been processing for over half an hour...keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks so much for sharing this promotion!
Posted by: Emilie | July 17, 2009 at 07:53 PM
my shipping was a bit more...maybe I am farther away?! It was 6.95...who knows. I only spent 45 cents...so I cant complain. Thanks for the info!
Posted by: Abby H | July 17, 2009 at 08:01 PM
By the way, the website has changed the prices. The shampoo that was $13.50 is now $17.50. How very smart of them. Thanks anyway.
Posted by: Janet | July 17, 2009 at 08:05 PM
The website is crawling like a turtle in mud right now!
Posted by: Jenna | July 17, 2009 at 08:21 PM
Thanks for this great offer! They are having issues with their system as mentioned earlier. I just spoke to Customer Service (who were supposed to be home already but are sticking around to help us!) and she took my order and had to write it down! Ordered two of the deep steep skin sticks (mint and tangerine). Have patience, they are SWAMPED with interested customers. :)
