    29 Cheap Skincare Products That Actually Work

    You don't have to spend more than $20 to get results!

    1. A La Roche-Posay milky cleanser that's gentle on sensitive skin but tough on makeup. Liquid foundation will *literally* melt away.

    2. A Cosrx SPF 50 sunscreen (formulated with soothing aloe leaf extract) you won't hate applying because it's super lightweight and absorbs quickly.

    3. An Etude House face cream made with collagen water and baobab oil to help lock in moisture for the entire day.

    4. Essence-packed Dermal sheet masks for giving your face a burst of hydration when it feels dry and dull.

    5. Avarelle pimple patches that'll help eliminate zits by sucking up all the gunk inside them. These actually have a layer of tea tree and calendula oil to soothe the skin and prevent picking.

    6. An ultra-rich cream by Weleda appropriately named Skin Food because it'll nourish your skin with shea and cocoa seed butter. Dry patches, begone!

    7. An Elizavecca hyaluronic acid serum to seriously boost the moisturizing effects of any skincare product. The packaging is not lying — it's basically witchcraft!

    8. Aztec Secret Indian Bentonite Healing Clay — a cult-favorite mask that'll extract toxins and impurities from your skin like a BOSS. Apply it with a mask brush for optimal effect.

    9. A vegan lip scrub made with coconut and sugar for buffing away flaky skin, and avocado and jojoba oils for leaving your lips soft and supple. Did I mention it tastes like almond cookies?

    10. A La Roche-Posay multi-purpose balm to rescue dry and irritated skin without leaving it sticky or oily. It can be applied to your face, body, hands, and lips!

    11. A rice water–enriched cleansing oil by The Face Shop so you can wash off "stay all day" eyeliner with little to no scrubbing. Yup, it's basically black magic.

    12. A Nature Republic gel moisturizer one reviewer described as "a spa treatment in a jar." It contains clean ocean water and 30 kinds of marine plant extracts.

    13. A refreshing tea tree face scrub by The Body Shop that'll make your skin look and feel squeaky clean.

    14. Nip + Fab cleansing pads soaked in exfoliating glycolic acid, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and soothing witch hazel for getting a smoother, brighter complexion in a few swipes.

    15. Acure vegan oils to give your face that healthy, post-yoga glow. The best part is they work just as well as the $$$ versions!

    16. Bioré pore strips so you can clean out the annoying blackheads on your nose all at once.

    17. An oil-free, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free micellar water by Garnier that'll take off even the most stubborn waterproof makeup and leave your skin feeling refreshed.

    18. An Elizavecca retinol night cream for minimizing the appearance of pores and promoting even skin texture and tone. You'll wake up looking like you just had a facial.

    19. A fast-working Bye Bye Blemish drying lotion infused with salicylic acid to help tame large, stubborn pimples while you sleep.

    20. A Yes To Coconut scrub and cleanser stick made with coffee so you can look awake in the morning even before having your cup of joe. It'll provide just the right amount of exfoliation without being too harsh or drying, thanks to coconut oil in the formula.

    21. A Skinfood black sugar mask that looks good enough to eat — but don't! Instead, use it to polish away dead skin cells and blackheads.

    22. An Olay color-correcting eye cream (with a dash of concealer) for helping you win the daily battle against dark circles.

    23. An Innisfree clay pack containing real volcanic cluster capsules to clear out your pores and make them appear less noticeable.

    24. A Mizon skin repair serum so good at its job (providing moisture, reducing acne scars, brightening complexion, improving skin elasticity), you won't mind its active ingredient: snail secretion.

    25. Cooling gel patches that'll provide instant relief for tired and puffy eyes — especially if you put them in the fridge beforehand!

    26. A jar of Neutrogena hyaluronic acid moisturizer for super thirsty skin. It'll sink in right away and leave your face smooth feeling smooth as a baby's bottom.

    27. A Burt's Bees coconut oil and aloe lotion to provide some relief after a little too much fun in the sun.

    28. A brightening pumpkin honey mask by Andalou (with glycolic acid) so you can say goodbye to uneven texture and dullness.

    29. A Pacifica coconut water and Vitamin E cream that'll refresh your tired skin after it's been through a rough weekend. You might be suffering from a hangover, but no one will be able to tell!
