My favorite drugstore beauty products are super affordable and used daily.  I have tried a whole lot of beauty products for removing makeup and hair care products, and I always come back to the same ones. Drugstore beauty products have come a long way in terms of quality and selection since I was a teenager.  These are the products I use daily.

Five Must-Have Drugstore Beauty Products

5 must have drugstore beauty items

 

 Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips Combo Pack, 24 Count Strips Pantene Pro-V Classic 2in1 Shampoo & Conditioner 33.8 Fl Oz Ponds Cold Cream Face Cleanser – Cool Cucumber – 10.1 oz Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner, 8 oz Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel (refreshing-Original)

Five Must-Have Drugstore Beauty Products

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips– I use these strips once a week to keep my pores clean across my nose.  I’m amazed as I have gotten older how much bigger it seems like my pores are!  This only takes a couple of minutes and you can actually see what they strip out of your pores when you’ve finished.  Eww!  But at least I know it’s working!

Pantene Shampoo– I started using Pantene shampoo in high school.  I still use it because it smells great and works even better!  I appreciate the fact that it’s a 2-in-1, meaning the conditioner is in there also.  This makes hair washing a breeze!  I like to try premium hair care products, but I always come back to Pantene.

Pond’s Cleanser– I’m not crazy about their cold cream cleanser, but I love the Pond’s Cucumber Cleanser for removing makeup.  It has a great scent and it’s not thick like cold cream.  It’s a light, creamy cleanser that removes every bit of my makeup gently and without causing breakouts.

Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle– I have to deep condition my hair at least twice a week, but I don’t have time to wait 10 or 20 minutes like some of these other deep conditioning hair products require.  This conditioning treatment is good to go in three minutes, smells AHHMAZING, and leaves my hair silky smooth!

Neutrogena Rainbath Shower Gel– I love this shower gel so much I bought a huge 40 ounce bottle of it!  I use three squirts in my bath puff everyday and it smells so amazing.  It’s a hard smell to describe, but in some of the reviews people describe it as having a little sandalwood or spice scent.  Whatever it is, I absolutely love it and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling great!

I use a few more things, but these are my top favorite drugstore beauty products.  If you are on a budget and looking for cheaper alternatives to premium products, these drugstore beauty products will definitely do the job.
