Moisturizers are an essential component to every skincare routine, regardless of the skin type you have. They deliver nourishing ingredients to your skin to keep it healthy, hydrated and protected. But, if you’ve taken a trip to Sephora lately, you know that moisturizers can be expensive–like, really expensive.

If you can’t afford to the high-end moisturizers with the fancy ingredients and the high price tags, don’t worry, because there are plenty of quality moisturizers that can be found in your local drugstore! Like the expensive brands, these drugstore moisturizers are enriched with the important ingredients that benefit your skin and keep it looking healthy, radiant and bright.
