Name me somebody who has refused to buy a cheap skincare product that actually works amazing, and sometimes even better than high-end – I’ll wait. In all seriousness, it is always awesome when you find a product that works great for you and your skin, and is just in overall a bang for your buck. Luxury products are awesome, but sometimes spending 60 dollars for a moisturizer, 40 dollars for a face cleanser and even more coins for such needs like face masks, mists, lip balms, and etc, can be just too steep, especially for college students. We have gathered a list of 10 drugstore skincare products that actually work, and we hope you will find them amazing and helpful as well.
1. Garnier Fresh Cleansing Cloths
These cleansing cloths are the best for removing your makeup when you are in a rush or need some to carry with you. They can remove waterproof makeup, impurities, and stubborn long-lasting eye makeup and mascara.
