Drugstore Skincare
Under the category of drugstore skincare, few products stand out. CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser ($17.38) was the brand on Tiktok user's lips last year. It's gentle, fragrance-free, and contains ceramides to help maintain the skin's barrier. It was even voted the best cleanser.
Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide24 Moisturizer ($39) provides youthful, long-lasting hydration that works wonders on dry skin. Speaking of hydration, the area around the eyes tends to require more moisture. The best eye cream award was bestowed upon Sweet Chef Turmeric + Vitamin C Booster Eye Cream ($25 $20)
To address skin concerns, one needs treatment, and the most popular right now are retinoids. L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 0.3% Pure Retinol Serum($34) came up top for retinol serums. And no skincare routine is complete without some SPF. Mele Dew, the Most SPF 30 Moisturizer ($23), is worth considering.
