CeraVe also has a range of body products that target specific issues like psoriasis, rough or bumpy skin, and even itch relief. In addition to creams and retinols, CeraVe offers a range of face washes that are super gentle and moisturizing. Cetaphil offers straightforward formulas at an affordable price point with dermatological backing.
And, since all of the products come in larger sizes, the brand is one of the more budget-friendly options—and you can easily find it across drugstores and other mass retailers. It's relatively affordable, available at my local drugstores, and never breaks me out. If it's not broke, don't fix it!
I've been using Cetaphil products since my teens and have no intention of stopping. When we asked a dermatologist how to manage combination skin , they recommended the Cetaphil Daily Oil-Free Hydrating Lotion.
The entire product line is designed with sensitive skin in mind, with an emphasis on fragrance-free formulas and simple ingredients. Key ingredients used by the brand are niacinamide, panthenol, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, all of which have moisturizing benefits.
Those with sensitive skin types or skin-related concerns like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis know formulas with minimal, nourishing ingredients are a top priority. Vanicream is the clear winner in that category, offering a curated selection of products that protect the skin barrier without exasperating pre-existing conditions or clogging pores.
I ended up loving how well it locks in moisture and doesn't break me out, so I haven't felt the need to go back to higher-end, luxury moisturizer. My skin and my wallet don't mind. I've heard it's great for eczema, too! Ceramides are one of the best skincare ingredients for eczema because they trap moisture in the skin.
Six products, including the Moisturizing Cream, have the Seal of Acceptance from the National Eczema Association, a seal that isn't the easiest to come by when shopping for affordable skincare. The brand stands out for being very transparent with ingredients—including how they are sourced.
It has an impressive product assortment compared to similar budget brands, so you can easily use its products for your entire skincare regimen. It's perfect for my sensitive skin and I always make sure to use it on my neck as well. Other star ingredients are shea butter to help soothe and restore the skin's hydrolipidic film, as well as glycerin, niacinamide, and panthenol aka vitamin B5.
The brand's bread and butter is skincare classics like cleansers and moisturizers, but it also has a good variety of serums, toners, and acne-specific products. Assistant designer Natalie Guisinger is a fan of the Pure Vitamin C Face Serum. La Roche-Posay is also well-known for its sunscreen, which comes in both tinted and non-tinted formulations, and body care products.
You can also purchase a variety of value sets, which are a great option if you want to jumpstart a brand new routine. While you may associate Neutrogena with makeup removers and acne spot treatments which are great, too , the brand now offers creams for a variety of concerns, as well as some really fantastic sunscreen options.
My favorite is the Invisible Daily Defense Lotion , and I always bring a bottle of the Beach Defense Spray to friend and family events in the summer to make sure they use it, too.
I have oily, acne-prone skin, and I don't feel overly greasy using these. One of the best things about Neutrogena is how comprehensive its skincare line is.
When we wrote about the best ingredients for acne , dermatologists recommended two specific Neutrogena products: the Oil-Free Acne Wash and the Stubborn Acne AM Face Treatment. I've never been disappointed. While I've tried and used a lot of the brand's SKUs, my all-time fave is the Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser.
It lathers up beautifully, takes off light makeup, and doesn't leave my skin feeling super dry afterwards. I also love that it comes in a pretty blue container.
It adds a little aesthetic appeal to my skincare routine. We also love that Neutrogena products can be found in just about any drugstore. Since the product assortment is so big, though, the formulas can be a bit hit or miss. Three of our editors use products from The Ordinary in their routines, and all three love the fact that they can try out different skincare products and fine tune their regimens without spending a lot.
It works, too. My skin is not sensitive but is acne-prone, so I worried about the oiliness. But nothin' doin'. Squalane does not cause flareups. I use this nightly ahead of my moisturizer and I am smooth.
And if I spill a little, as can happen among all the lotions and potions on my bureau I have 'em all, because I am anti-needles and knives , I don't freak out because it's literally a hundred dollars cheaper than the one I was getting from my derm.
One of the most popular skincare ingredients is niacinamide, which helps control sebum production, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce inflammation. The Ordinary products are primarily focused on skin texture , and there are accordingly a range of exfoliating products, including masks, peels, toners, and serums.
It is worth noting that many of these products use high concentrations of AHAs and BHAs , which, though effective, may be too strong for sensitive skin.
This Korean skincare brand is best known for its use of calming green tea in its products, including cleansers, serums, and creams.
I tried the new launches, and they worked wonders on my dry winter skin. The serum and cream are part of my nighttime routine. Another popular collection is the Volcanic Cluster line.
This is also a great line for those in search of an effective yet gentle sunscreen—the Daily UV Defense Sunscreen has a major following for its great formula that doesn't feel greasy or leave a white cast.
As mentioned above, the Green Tea line was recently reformulated to be fragrance-free, which is great news for those with sensitive skin. While not available at drugstores, you can find it at Target and some online retailers. Naturium offers a variety of serums, body care products, sunscreens, and more, with a special focus on radiance-boosting formulas.
I love having a product that doubles as a moisturizer and SPF for my morning skin care routine. As an added bonus, the glow from this moisturizer acts as a primer before my makeup. We named the Naturium Skin-Renewing Retinol Body Lotion the best body retinol product for its gentle yet highly effective formula.
You can also find body creams and masks for a range of concerns, including keratosis pilaris and dehydration. For the face, you can find everything you need for your entire routine, including cleansers, serums, moisturizers, oils, and lip and eye care.
If you've heard about skincare brands using snail mucin in their products, you've probably already heard of CosRx. I got a little overzealous with the retinoids and chemical exfoliants, and my skin was flaky and irritated.
I started using this daily after cleansing, before moisturizing, and my skin improved within a week! Of course, the Korean skincare brand offers much more than just that one product. The famous Acne Pimple Master Patches which are used by associate editorial director Nicole Lund speed up the acne healing process by protecting blemishes and maintaining the humidity of the skin to prevent further breakouts.
There are also a variety of cleansers, moisturizers, and serums, which target everything from acne and redness to dullness and wrinkles. Burt's Bees deserves a mention for its iconic lip balm alone, but the brand has so much more to offer than just great lip products.
I've tried all of the fancy stuff, but the Burt's Bees Cleansing Cream is my absolute favorite. It's affordable, accessible, and it gets the job done—all while providing a lovely sensorial experience. The brand is focused on natural ingredients including, of course, beeswax , and has an environmentally-friendly ethos.
While the brand does indeed excel at lip products, there are also some great lotions, moisturizers, hand creams, and even serums.
I alternate between different day and night moisturizers; I change with the seasons depending on what my skin needs. Plus, it smells amazing. The brand also offers a huge range of toners, as well as cleansers, eye creams, and anti-acne serums. In fact, this is one of the better brands for treating breakouts , whether you struggle with them regularly or just find yourself in need of a quick fix on occasion.
There are body and face cleansers, oil-free moisturizers, masks, and treatments all designed with acne-prone skin in mind. Mario Badescu uses a range of different ingredients for their formulas, including a variety of natural ingredients combined with powerful actives to get unique blends.
Its hero ingredient is Centella asiatica, which stands out for its anti-inflammatory properties. SKIN is a Korean brand that focuses on plant-based ingredients, particularly Centella asiatica sourced from Madagascar. With gentle formulations and affordable prices, the brand went viral for its Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum.
In particular, the Centella Ampoule is her personal favorite. And Centella asiatica extract is great at calming irritated or inflamed skin.
I use it generously—in multiple layers—during the summer, when my skin is exposed under the harsh sun, and all throughout fall and winter to keep my skin hydrated as the air's moisture depletes. Aside from serums and ampoules, SKIN sells toners, creams, sunscreens, and cleansers, including a very popular cleansing oil.
I love that it comes in a pump, so I'm not getting any germs or bacteria in the product. The consistency is of an essence or toner—not nearly as viscous as a typical oil, but it gets all my makeup off in one go.
What I appreciate the most is that it washes off easily without leaving any residue on my skin. Overall, this is a solid brand if your primary concern is finding products that calm and hydrate irritated skin.
There are also products focused on tightening pores and reducing sebum production, so you have options whether you have dry or oily skin.
Acure was founded with accessible clean beauty in mind, and its products are made without parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, petrolatum, and formaldehyde.
Instead, the brand utilizes plant-based ingredients and essential oils, many of which are certified organic but keep in mind that essential oils can be irritating to some people. However, it's incredibly sensitive now even though it's been years since I stopped , and I'll occasionally get a little acne.
The Seriously Soothing Cleansing Cream is one of the only cleansers I'll use on my incredibly sensitive face, AND it helps with any bouts of acne! It really reduces redness and irritation around blemishes, and my skin feels so clean after using it.
The best part? Each line includes all of the products needed for an entire skincare regimen. Nearly all of them come with a cleanser, serum, day and night creams, and even a face mask or peel depending on the concern.
There are also a range of oils and serums that could be easily integrated into any one of the product lines. When you think about Aveeno, its signature ingredient, oat, might be the first thing that comes to mind. The brand's assortment of products, however, is far from basic.
In fact, the entire collection of cleansers, moisturizers, and serums fit effortlessly into the routines of those with sensitive skin, with oats being at the forefront of most ingredient profiles. Plus, most of the products are fragrance-free, which contributing senior research editor Maya Kukes thinks is a huge pro:.
The body wash is luxurious and leaves you feeling clean and fresh, while the lotion goes on thick but not too heavy and never leaves you feeling greasy. Best of all, you don't need to constantly reapply it.
The price point is perfect too! In addition to cleansers, body washes, and lotions, there are also scrubs for the face and body, moisturizers, makeup removers, and masks. There are 11 collections you can shop from that target different concerns, and there are plenty of kid-safe products as well.
Isntree is another Korean beauty brand that specializes in natural ingredients at affordable price points. Isntree has 11 collections that each revolve around a hero ingredient. Other popular lines focus on green tea which includes a cleanser, toner, and serum and mugwort which includes a cream, serums, and masks.
The brand is expanding its product assortment though, with a few products dedicated to sensitive skin and eczema like the Sensitive Soothing Moisturizer and the Sensitive Facial Cleanser —but its bread and butter is definitely anti-aging skincare.
Unlike other brands, goPure is most known for its range of serums, rather than its skincare basics although it has those too. It was extremely affordable and I can see a difference in my skin—certainly one that I didn't see when I tested another brand's line.
The eye cream is nice, but the trio of serums are wonderful. Unsurprisingly, goPure is a great option if your primary concern is anti-aging. You can narrow down products by concern, including crepey skin, fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and dehydration, and you can purchase sets to kickstart an entire routine.
None of the products contain parabens, dyes, propylene glycol, SLS, hydroquinone, formaldehyde, or artificial fragrance. There are, however, some ingredients that dermatologists recommend avoiding , like parabens, acrylates, sodium lauryl sulfate, and artificial fragrances.
Another thing to keep in mind?
