Drug Store Go-To Items

Purple Star emoji 14 items
There’s a lot of really great products at drugstores that should NOT be slept on. I didn’t start shopping for anything at Ulta or Sephora until VERY recently (and I’m 25) so I’ve had to rely on the drugstore for many things. Note: I have sensitive sk...

Face

I have generally sensitive skin and perioral dermatitis. On top of that, I have celiac disease, so I try to avoid anything with gluten ingredients if possible. This brand is free from dyes, fragrance, parabens, lanolin, and formaldehyde releasers (wo...
Vanicream : Cleansers

Vanicream’s moisturizer is lightweight yet still moisturizing. I like to use this one during the day for that reason. I find it sits well under my makeup as well!
Vanicream™ Daily Facial Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin

Vanicream also has a moisturizer with spf! I like to use this one to further protect my face. Even when I get breakouts or flare ups, it’s important to protect the skin as much as you can. My only complaint is that sometimes sunblock can get in your ...
Vanicream™ Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30

I like to use this one on my face before bed as it’s thicker than the moisturizer. It also locks in any other product you put on prior. While I have this listed under “Face,” it would work as a great hand cream (especially during the winter)!
Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream for Dry, Sensitive Skin

I only get flare ups around my mouth, so I can’t guarantee how safe this is for PD around the eyes. However, I do have sensitive skin and it’s never irritated the skin around my eyes. I like this one since it’s multifunctional (hydration, puffiness, ...

Vanicream has a lot of moisturizer options. The lotion itself I like to use for my body, but it’s advertised for your face too. This one has a lighter and more water-y texture. It still absorbs very well and is gentle on the skin
Vanicream™ Moisturizing Lotion for Dry, Sensitive Skin & Face

I’ve been using this one since I was able to find it at Marshall’s for a good price. This eye cream is VERY lightweight and dries pretty quickly. Even though it’s a gel, it’s definitely still hydrating. This one would be a good day time eye cream.
Neutrogena ® Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream

This one surprised me. I was looking for face products after running out and I stumbled across this moisturizer and I was surprised how much it impressed me. It’s a creamy texture yet doesn’t feel greasy on the skin. There’s no white cast left on you...
Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer SPF 50

I am not kidding when I say this is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It feels like you’re putting on lotion. It leaves no white cast and doesn’t feel greasy. It feels amazing. You know that icky feeling you get when you lather up before going to th...
Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion SPF 50

Body

I like using a gentle lotion on my chest and back after I shower to help with acne. It’s not heavy either and it doesn’t have a strong smell, either. There’s a bit of a smell, but it’s nothing that’s too overwhelming. You can find this on Amazon, tar...
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream

My armpits love to get tired of deodorants - I’ll start to smell and sweat more out of the blue. I try to stay away from aluminum, so there’s only so many I can cycle through. I enjoy this one as it has clean ingredients yet actually does what it’s a...
Vanicream: Deodorant
 
Hailey Novellino profile picture
Once again, Vanicream is always a safe option. I do want to specify that the lotion is a lot lighter in consistency than the cream. The lotion gets better absorbed on the body and doesn’t make you feel sticky. Whether you’re acne prone, oily, dry or ...
Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion Pump - Fragrance & Gluten Free

Hands

 
Hailey Novellino profile picture
This is my favorite hand cream for the winter. It’s super hydrating and really rejuvenates any ashiness or rough patches that you may develop from the cold temperatures and dry air. It’s a bit more on the pricer side, but the price is worth it. It is...
O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream 3.4oz
 
Hailey Novellino profile picture
Vanicream’s cream lotion is perfect as a hand lotion during harsher weather. It’s thick and comes in a size that will last you FOREVER. It also opens up so when there’s not enough for the pump to pick up, you can easily get the rest and use your mone...
