Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and other celebs swear by these 10 drugstore beauty products — and they're all under $20 at Amazon
These are the a-lister beauty secrets we can afford, starting at $6.
When your face is what pays the bills, you want the best your money can buy — my mind has been blown by the price tag of creams that A-listers use — but some celebs are just like us and want something that works. We've been surprised at some of the drugstore beauty celebs we've found while searching the internet for deals — they're all shockingly affordable. We're talking about things like Drew Barrymore's favorite cleansing pads for $10 and Martha Stewart's go-to tinted moisturizer for $13. There's so much more so we put together a list of celeb-approved products under $20, all available on Amazon.
Instantly hydrate and highlight your skin with Lumi Glotion for a gorgeous, luminous look — choose from multiple shades to best enhance your glow! Prices vary slightly based on shade.
On her website Martha revealed the 14 beauty products she swears by, and this glow-enhancing priming lotion is near the top of the list. Her trusted makeup artist of nearly 10 years, Daisy Toye, said she applies it to Martha's face after SPF to add dewiness and create "a smooth canvas for makeup." Infused with glycerin and shea butter, the "glotion" hydrates and moisturizes the skin and helps enhance its natural glow.
In a clinical study, the vast majority of participants experienced visible positive results after a month of using this super serum.
This serum was part of Sarah Jessica Parker's Amazon list of holiday favorites. If you want to experience the skin-saving benefits of Vitamin C for yourself, you can grab this one on sale.
The affordable face wash loved by Reese Witherspoon is infused with glycerin and niacinamide to hydrate skin while it cleanses it.
Thinking about switching up your facial cleanser? Reese Witherspoon loves Cetaphil.
"I use the face wash, and I travel with it ... I love drugstore makeup, too," she said. "I remember going as a little girl to the drugstore down the street from my grandmother's house, and I'd spend hours looking at nail polish and lipstick and blush."
This anti-aging eye treatment harnesses the power of retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin c to reduce wrinkles, minimize puffiness, and brighten the delicate skin near your eyes.
If your eyes could use a bit of brightening, this is the serum Eva Longoria says "feels so delicious."
The Desperate Housewives star has been a spokesperson for the brand since 2005, and at 49, she looks pretty darn good. We'll take her word for it.
The ultimate moisturizer, this rich, botanical cream hydrates the skin and makes it appear more luminous.
Julia Roberts loves this ultra-rich cream, formulated with nourishing natural ingredients like extracts from rosemary, chamomile and pansy in a base of sunflower and sweet almond oils. It's safe for use on any skin type and on any area of the body. No need for a facial moisturizer and a separate body lotion!
“I put it on my hands after I wash the dishes, and wind up putting it on my elbows and feet," Roberts said. "Before you know it, I’ve squeezed this poor little green tube into a twist.”
Use these reusable microfiber pads with micellar water to cleanse your face again and again. Once they're dirty, simply wash them with soap and water or toss them in with the laundry.
Drew Barrymore signals the start of her beauty routine with a wave of a reusable Garnier cleansing pad — because good skin starts with a gentle cleansing (and a good conscience begins with Earth-friendly choices).
Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser gives your skin a deep cleanse without stripping it of essential vitamins and nutrients — it's packed with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin, which hydrate the skin. The wash is non-foaming, but it has a lotion-like texture that smooths the skin as you wash.
Olivia Wilde is one of the brand's many fans. "I use the cheapest possible skin care — not because it's cheap, but because it's the best," Olivia Wilde said. "Dermatologists have recommended it for years and I've never paid attention. But recently I started using Cetaphil cleanser and CeraVe moisturizer. They're gentle and simple."
This celeb-approved moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated for up to 48 hours. The main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which binds water to the skin’s surface to give you smoother, hydrated and more supple skin.
Jennifer Garner has long been a fan of Neutrogena’s affordable yet effective products, so much so that she has been a longtime ambassador for the brand. Last year, the actress shared with InStyle magazine that the Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer is one of her favorites from the skincare brand.
“I can instantly tell the difference — it just looks fresh and plump and better. There are all these little micro-lines that once I put this on, they go away," she said. "This is 48 hours of moisture that you're locking in with one thing, and then I don't have to worry about it…I think it's my favorite product we've ever put out.”
Made with fair-trade certified-organic extra-virgin coconut oil — with an assist from Tahitian monoi oil — this treatment is well-loved for moisturizing and softening skin.
Bethenny Frankel uses Palmer's Coconut Hydrate Body Oil mixed with her favorite fragrance for a custom-scented (and cost-saving) beauty staple.
"You're paying for the scent when it comes to those expensive body oils, so do it yourself and you'll save a ton," she said.
With vitamin E, vitamin C, and omegas 3, 6 and 9, this oil helps replenish moisture and nutrients to your lips and adds sheer color and subtle shine to them.
Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has a memorable smile made for TV. To keep her lips supple, she uses ChapStick Tinted Lip Oil.
"It's an oil that hydrates your lips," she said. "It has a little color in it and I just let that soak in. This is just to really get them moist."
