What you choose to put on your skin matters. However, nobody wants to spend their month’s rent trying to prevent breakouts, wrinkles, scarring, sunspots, and all the other stuff we have to worry about.
While celebrities are often the gold standard for “skincare goals,” their routines usually involve some product that costs three hundred dollars or more.
The good news is you don’t have to be an A-list actress or a megastar musician to have great skin.
Thanks to so many new drugstore skincare products, you can achieve fantastic skin at just a fraction of the cost.
From moisturizers to cleansers to serums, here are some of the best drugstore skincare products that you need to pick up today.
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water with Rose Water, $9
Put down the makeup wipes and go for this Micellar Cleansing Water instead. While makeup wipes seem like a great way to take off our makeup, the reality is most of them strip our skin.
Instead, put some of this Micellar Cleansing Water on a cotton pad and gently use it to remove your makeup. Not only is it fantastic at removing stubborn eye makeup, but it doesn’t feel like your pouring chemicals onto your skin.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum, $24
Good serums can be tough to find at a drugstore, but this L’Oreal serum really works. It contains alpha-hydroxy acids, which work to exfoliate your skin.
This serum won’t irritate your skin and will give you a more even tone as you continue to use it.
Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion, $9.97
Now that we’re heading into winter it’s really important to find a great lotion that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and soft.
This Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion will protect your skin’s barrier without feeling greasy. It’ll also keep your skin looking hydrated for hours after use.
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM, $15.99
This CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion is the ultimate game-changer. Put it on at night before bed and you will wake up with skin that feels refreshed and rejuvenated.
It contains ceramides, which helps to maintain moisture levels in your skin, but it won’t leave you feeling greasy. And, for just under $16, it’s a total steal.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Sunscreen-Gentle Lotion, $30
Sunscreen may be the most important skincare step that many of us forget to use.
