The Best $20-and-Under Skincare Formulas You Can Buy at the Drugstore

Simply put, it’s our job to find the best beauty products out there for you. From the newest serum to the hottest lipstick color to the dry shampoo that will change your life, we will find it, test it, and let you know what we think. We’re not complaining. It’s a pretty fun gig, and we’ll volunteer to be beauty guinea pigs any day.

But one of the cool things to come out of this is finding out what products you’re loving and buying. It helps us figure out what you want to learn more about and what you’re into so we can bring even more personalized recs to you.

Because we share a lot of our favorites with you every single day, we recognize it might be hard to keep up. So we’ve decided to put together a handy weekly list of what we love and what you love—consider this a CliffsNotes, one-stop shop of what’s really trending and worth adding to your cart at this very moment.

Take a look at what the Who What Wear universe (including editors, staffers, and readers) is obsessed with right now, and if you don’t see a new favorite on this list, we’d love to know. Send us a DM

This is one of my favorite drugstore buys. I can talk about it nonstop. The lightweight gel packed with hyaluronic acid is so refreshing and cooling on super-dry skin.

Aveeno’s daily moisturizer is a drugstore classic because it works so well. The formula isn’t greasy at all and improves skin dullness, uneven tone, and texture.

Tinted moisturizers are a great alternative to heavy foundations. I find them especially helpful when it’s hot out and my makeup is melting. This one provides sheer coverage and also contains antioxidants, vitamins, and retinol to nourish the skin.

Relieve severely dry skin with Simple’s gel cream. It’s infused with minerals and plant extracts that will leave your face hydrated for a long time.

CeraVe’s drugstore serum works just as well as the expensive ones when it comes to diminishing the appearance of acne scars and marks. It’s formulated with retinol, ceramides, licorice root extract, and niacinamide for a moisturizing and brightening treatment.

Consider this serum the “sister” to Neutrogena’s gel cream. The oil-free formula absorbs so quickly to work even faster at plumping and smoothing your dry skin.

Fight the signs of aging with this drugstore serum that’s powered with an amino peptides, vitamin E, and carob extract. You can even use it as a lightweight everyday moisturizer on its own. It’s formulated to leave your skin plumper and firmer.

Improve dull, dry skin by using this gentle daily scrub. Not only does it smooth and brighten skin, but it also removes dirt and leaves your skin hydrated.

Cetaphil’s daily face cleanser is a go-to for so many people because it works on pretty much all skin types—even sensitive skin. The creamy cleanser removes dirt while preventing dryness.

Use this face wash to remove makeup and any impurities. Good-for-skin ingredients include ceramides, thermal water, glycerin, and niacinamide.

Formulated with Q10 and vitamin C, Nivea’s lotion works to firm skin and improve elasticity. It provides moisturizing coverage for up to 48 hours.

You can use this cream all over your body, even on your hands and face. It contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to provide 24 hours of hydration.

This body lotion is powered to fight the seven signs of aging like reduced elasticity, dryness, dull skin, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. Ingredients include vitamins B3, B5, and E.

If you’re experiencing bumpy skin on your body, this wash can help. The salicylic acid in this product works to gently exfoliate skin, while ceramides and niacinamide moisturizes and calms.

This alcohol-free toner is gentle on the skin but still effective at removing dirt and buildup. Aloe vera ensures that your skin retains its moisture.

Bioderma’s micellar water is a permanent favorite. The gentle cleanser can be used to remove makeup, soothe irritated skin, and clear up everyday impurities.

Alcohol-free and pH-balanced, this toner won’t dry out your skin. The product contains witch hazel to tone and tighten pores, plus chamomile, allantoin, and vitamin B5 to soften and soothe.

If you’re looking for an everyday sunscreen option, Neutrogena’s lightweight and fast-drying product is a good one. The formula isn’t greasy and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Sun Bum’s sunscreen is enriched with vitamin E to moisturize and protect against free radicals. It’s also hypoallergenic and waterproof. Just be sure to reapply it after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.

Formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, this mineral sunscreen goes on lightweight and doesn’t leave greasy residue. Ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide keep your face hydrated. Next up, 12 Amazon skincare dupes with so many rave reviews
