Building a solid skincare routine doesn't have to drain your wallet. I've tested dozens of drugstore and mid-range products, and these are the ones I keep repurchasing. This full AM/ PM routine costs under $50 total and genuinely delivers results.
This is the cleanser I always come back to. It doesn't strip my skin or leave that tight feeling. One bottle lasts me about 3 months.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Skin Refresh
This cleared up my texture within two weeks. A tiny amount goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever for the price.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum
I apply this on damp skin right after cleansing. The difference in hydration is noticeable by the next morning
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
The tub version is the best value. I use it as my final step at night and wake up with plump, soft skin.
Moisturizing Cream
No white cast, sits beautifully under makeup. Non-negotiable step in any routine
Anthelios Sunscreen - La Roche-Posay
I use this once a week max. It's basically a facial peel at home for under $10. My skin looks noticeably brighter the next day.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Sounds strange, but this is the product that gets me the most compliments on my skin. Layers beautifully under everything
