Today’s post features a few drugstore favorites for a quick and easy night-time skincare routine! These summer skincare favorites have lightweight textures perfect for the warm weather but pack a punch with potent good-for-your-skin ingredients.
Now let’s dive into why I love each one of these so much!
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C ($8.99)
In addition to vitamin C, this new and improved micellar cleansing water also contains glycolic acid to exfoliate skin and brighten dull, uneven skin tone. It does a great job of removing dirt, makeup and excess oil in just a few swipes without leaving my skin dry or tight. No harsh rubbing or rinsing needed (but I just rinse with water out of habit!)
I don’t use this micellar water to remove eye makeup as it contains glycolic acid which can be potentially irritating for the sensitive skin around eyes. But it’s a great option overall if you want a multi-tasking option that cleanses as well as exfoliates gently. Formulated without alcohol, oils, fragrance, parabens and sulfates.
Minimalist Multi-Peptides 10% Serum ($13)
This serum contains 10% multi-peptide complex to boost collagen production, improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and enhance overall skin texture. It has a lightweight, hydrating formula that absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy feel. With a potent blend of multiple peptides, it supports overnight skin repair for visible improvements. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin.
Prequel Half & Half Peptides + Ceramides Fluid Moisturizer ($25.99)
Formulated with a ceramide complex, peptide complex and amino acids, this moisturizer hydrates and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines while strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier. It has a very lightweight liquid emulsion texture that glides on skin and absorbs easily with a natural finish that isn’t greasy or sticky. It works well for all skin types and the formula is fragrance-free. Not to mention, the big bottle (5.7 fl oz) lasts a very long time!
COSRX The Ceramide Skin Barrier Cream ($23)
Formulated with a potent blend of 7 ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, allantoin, panthenol and 5 types of hyaluronic acid, this barrier cream packs a powerful punch! It delivers deep hydration, soothes skin and replenishes the moisture barrier for a healthy, radiant complexion.
It has a lightweight whipped texture that absorbs easily with a velvety feel and smooth matte finish, no shine or greasiness at all. It hydrates really well to bring suppleness to skin while you sleep. Great for dry, sensitive, damaged or irritation-prone skin. Right now, it’s on sale (30% off) at Amazon.com for only $16!
Cocokind Ceramide Lip Blur Balm ($11.99)
This lip balm has such a nourishing formula that soothes dry lips while adding a glossy finish. Infused with ceramides and peptides, the formula is so hydrating without being heavy or sticky. I use the clear (non-tinted) shade at night but it also comes in 9 sheer tints from soft pink and cherry red to rich brown & burgundy. The formula is great for sensitive lips: no flavor, no fragrance, no petrolatum, no essential oils or any other common irritants.
