Let’s go ahead and bust a myth: No, you don’t have to spend an entire paycheck on dozens of high-priced products to achieve your skin-care goals. Sure, you can treat yourself to fancy chemical peels, dollop on top-of-the-line creams, or opt-in to that post-hot-yoga radiance. But beauty—like all your other feel-good practices—has an entry point at every budget.
Don’t believe me? Below, Well+Good’s beauty editors name the best products in their beauty cabinets for $10 or less. Among them, you’ll find a handful of standbys, like ultra-moisturizing hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, and brightening scrubs—all for less than an Alexander Hamilton.
