As an everyday essential, moisturizer is something that you probably run through quickly. So it makes sense that you might want to keep yourself on a budget when purchasing a hydrator knowing you’ll need another one in a month or two. But just because something is a bit more affordable doesn’t mean it’s any less effective, which is certainly the case for the moisturizers on this list. We’ve rounded up 10 of the best moisturizers you can find in drugstores for real results so that next time you’re scanning the aisles, you’ll know what’s worthwhile.
This cult-classic cream isn’t just a favorite of beauty editors everywhere, it’s also a constantly recommended pick from top dermatologists. The reason: it’s packed with skin-healing ceramides, hydrating hyaluronic acid and zero fragrance, making it a must for sensitive skin types.
If you’re looking for a moisturizer that works double duty, you’ll love Olay’s Regenerist line. This moisturizer, in particular, works to firm up the appearance of your skin and address fine lines for younger-looking, hydrated skin.
With vitamin C, a patented tri-peptide and collagen mixed into this moisturizer, your skin will gain elasticity and a dewy glow along with locked-in moisture. This product also promises to protect against future free radical damage.
If your skin is feeling a bit down and out, this La Roche-Posay repairing moisturizer is a great option. Per the derm-favorite brand, this face cream—it also boasts SPF 30—helps restore the skin’s barrier within just one hour of use.
L’Oréal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Cooling Night Moisturizer is perfectly suited for dull, aging skin as it promises to reactivate a rosy radiance and firm up slack skin. The formula is also unique in that it cools the skin by two degrees while moisturizing it.
The calming green tea and hydrating aloe vera in this cream will help soothe and moisturize your skin all at once for a more clear and dewy-looking complexion. The formula is very lightweight but will keep your skin feeling hydrated all day.
If you have oily skin, you need to try this Cetaphil Moisturizer. Not only will it provide moisture to your skin without adding oil, but it will also absorb existing oil to reduce shine while keeping your skin hydrated.
When your skin is super dry, this Neutrogena water gel moisturizer will immediately quench it upon application. This oil-free moisturizer is especially great for eradicating dry patches left behind by retinol or other strong skin-care products.
This multitasking moisturizer will keep your skin hydrated while fending off acne. The formula includes salicylic acid to keep breakouts at bay and improve the tone and texture of your skin.
Pond’s is known for its cooling hydration across the board, and its Facial Moisturizer is no different. This hydrating cream is tested by dermatologists and promises to moisturize deeply and prep the skin for makeup.
