Moisturizers are a crucial part of skincare. Not keeping your skin hydrated can lead to dryness, acne, and an overall dull complexion. But, with skincare getting more and more extensive, so are the prices of moisturizers. Walk into your nearest Sephora, and you’ll find a ton of moisturizers way above the average person’s budget.
$70 for a skincare product? Yikes. I don’t know about you, but that’s not something I want to splurge that much on. So, if you’re looking for quality moisturizers while you’re balling on a budget, here are some of our favorites:
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
For $23.99, this gel moisturizer packs a bunch at a reasonable price. Using this gel-based moisturizer feels like your skin is taking a drink of a nice glass of cold water.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
A drugstore skincare staple. CeraVe is the perfect skincare line for those with sensitive skin or just looking for something straightforward. It’s only $16 for a big jar that will last a while.
Simple Hydrating Gel Cream
Simple skincare is well, simple. It has a basic formula for those looking for something clean to apply to their skin. The gel-cream is super moisturizing and is only $10.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer SPF 30
I’ve been using this moisturizer for years, and as much as I want to venture into other brands, I can’t seem to keep away. The name says it all. The double repair moisturizer provides you with enough moisture to last the entire day for only $20.
E.L.F. Illuminating Moisturizer SPF 15
E.L.F is known for being incredibly cheap and excellent quality, so we wouldn’t expect anything less from their moisturizer. This $8 moisturizer will leave you looking illuminating.
