Affordable Skincare Product Reviews | Dermatologist Tested

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for affordable skincare products. I refuse to buy the expensive stuff.

[@Growstuff70]

Same here! 💕

[@mikayla9146]

Me too, never had better results from pricey skincare

[@usernameisunavailable8270]

Right?! The only thing I can think of buying somewhat expensive and thats haircare. I'm trying to get on the cruelty free train and it freatly reduces how many brands or products I need to choose from. There are some products that aren't cruelty free that work very great too so I'm stuck between that lol.

[@mikayla9146]

@@usernameisunavailable8270 L’Oréal makes excellent hair care products that are comparable or better than high price salon brands.

[@christinekeleher3578]

I’m all in for affordable skincare if it works just the same and better why not. Plus I truly trust Dr Drays recommendation.

[@denisehart-mosman]

I know you prefer to avoid fragrance, but the scented EOS lotions are DIVINE. Especially the Vanilla Cashmere.

[@luisacerrato331]

I hate the vanilla scent because it smells too sweet and gives me a headache. Tree Hut is way better in my opinion.

[@AquariusBeam]

Agree!

[@yeliovifanw73]

Yes! That is my favorite.

[@vickieyoung7122]

Love it ! I don't ever use unscented body washes.or lotions..love fragrances

I agree!!! Wish I could find a fragrance that smelled that good!

[@lauracuevas8948]

Shower acrobatics, choreography, calisthenics; I love it! Never thought about it that way, but Dr. Dray is right!😂

[@eviezamora3905]

dr dray you reignited my love for skincare a couple years ago and i can’t think you enough queen !!!

[@DrDrayzday]

glad to hear!

[@Porceliankitty]

Same!! Unfortunately for me I have KP so Eurcein is partly the only lotion that has what I need to keep it from flaring up 🥹 it’s gotten much expensive. But I’m thinking maybe I can add the TPH Lactic acid serum into an affordable lotion (not into it but mix it on my palm) and maybe I can get some good results

[@marylawman8603]

As someone who is on a budget and doesn't have hundreds of dollars to spend on skin care, I appreciate these videos so much. Thanks for looking out for people like me. Happy Wednesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💜

[@Barbaras_Likes]

Instead of any shave oil or cream, I use hair conditioner. It works perfectly.

[@Hemmyii]

Haha I do the same if a conditioner fails on my hair. Next stop is shave cream.

[@ellen0328]

Agree!

[@iampinktea]

Dove’s eczema body cleanser is one of my favorites! I’ve never liked body lotion because of the sensory experience so this body wash has really helped keep my skin moisturized. My skin barrier on my face was wrecked a couple months ago after trying a new product and even the CeraVe Hydrating cleanser felt too harsh so I ended up using the Dove body cleanser instead for about a week. I left it on my face for a few minutes to give it some contact time with the colloidal oatmeal, it was so soothing and I was happy to find it didn’t cause any breakouts (for me anyway)

[@elizabethonstage]

I have been using that exact Dove body wash with the colloidal oatmeal for a couple weeks now, and I actually REALLY LOVE IT! I found it to lather on my skin after I rubbed it in, but it definitely is very creamy! I used to HATE the old dove body washes and felt slimy and coated out of the shower. This new formula does NOT make me feel that way- my skin actually feels clean, but soothed and even softer and calmer?! I have been experiencing SO much peeling and flaking and bleeding on my back and shoulders from dry skin, and this has felt so soothing on the shower and I’ve seen serious improvement in my dryness 🙏🏻 I really like it (though don’t like the scent) It works for soothing the skin 😊💗

[@brittanywalter6810]

I speak for everyone when I say create your own affordable skincare line!!!!!!! We would all invest!!!

Ok, your skin looks really good and your hair is very shiny. The products are paying off. You look great.

[@bridgettsharp9285]

I had electrolysis on my lower legs 40 years ago. No issues with hair on my lower legs. Excellent results for the money!

[@GenXVictoria]

Grapeseed oil, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil are all great for shaving and fragrance free. You can mix all three (equal parts) and put in a pump dispenser. Just don’t store in the shower and only make small batches for freshness.

[@rgoob4045]

yes, I personally use the EOS 'bikini' shave oil on my lower legs where I have veinous insufficiency that results in cellulitis flares, which i must tread lightly if at all.

[@AmandaLiz72]

Yes, EOS and Tree Hut need to make fragrance free shave oils!!

[@paigeroberts96]

I don't know if this applies to their shave oil too, but EOS actually has a fragrance free shaving cream! It's their Shea Butter Sensitive Shave Cream-- I haven't tried the senstive version yet, but I love the Pomegranate scented one if you haven't tried those yet😊

[@RoseDawsonworld]

I was really surprised to hear that you do not like dove body washes. I have never tried any dove product from the us but the ones we get in europe are just wonderful. My skin loves them. So much so that whenever I switch to another brand my skin gets dry and I don't have dry skin so I always end up going back to dove

[@sirtsupirtsu]

People have really different level of eye sensitivity re SPFs. For example I really struggled to find non eye stinging Korean SPF. I tried several of the ones that were suggested for sensitive yes, like Cosrx Aloe SPF that was very popular - and that stung my eyes like crazy. But then, finally, I found one that did not sting - Skin1004 hyaly cica sun serum. If you have same issue with SPF stinging your eyes, try this one!

[@maconfino9825]

If anyone is looking for fragrance free for shaving, I tried Cetaphil cleanser to use while shaving, and I thought it worked well with my Intuition razor.

[@kerri5595]

Oh whew! I just purchased the eos shave oil as it was cheaper than the Tree Hut. Thanks Doc

[@lynndupree1205]

I love all these products! We don't need to plunk down big bucks for soaps and lotions just because the high-end stuff has a prettier package. The one thing I always look for is a tube or bottle without a pump, just because the pump dispensers waste so much product at the end of the bottle. By saving money on these kinds of products, I can justify spending more on things like botox and laser treatments! LOL! Thanks Dr. Dray for your down to earth attitude!

[@mariadittrich170]

Since you like the vanilla cashmere scent from eos, you should try the ultra derm handcream! It smells just as good, and it claims to last through hand washing. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Forgot to mention, your skin is so dewy, especially your cheekbones and near your undereyes. You just glow! What do you use for this beautiful finish? Thank you! 😊

[@LizbetPCB]

I bought the Elf Whoa Glow after seeing your review of it. I really like it, but, unlike you, it does sting my eyes 🤷🏻‍♀️ So, in the meantime, I still have a little bit left of the Skin Aqua moisture gel (on the verge of expiration) so use that all around my eyes and on my forehead. I can no longer find that at what I consider a reasonable price so I’m looking for an alternative just for those areas. I’ve been using my husband’s, body wash, Dove for men. It has a light fragrance which I don’t find to be too masculine, just very clean smelling. One less thing to store in the shower! Happy Wednesday, everyone!

[@patriciamadigan5366]

That sunscreen stings my eyes as well, too bad. Like you, I use a different sunscreen around my eyes (Neutrogena UV tint), but it sucks because I won't bother to bring 2 different sunscreens for reapplication later. So I only do that combo in the morning before leaving the house.

[@alaskayoung7476]

My eyes literally kill me with chemical sunscreens but thanks to you I have found a wonderful sunscreen I now use daily. Taimei Korean sun cream is amazing! It doesn’t hurt my eyes at all. I have always hated mineral ones as they are so pasty and white. I’m fair skinned and I look even more ghostly. I don’t t wear much makeup so covering it up is just too much hassle for me. So thank you for all the recommendations you do! ❤

I love the EOS shave cream- the sensitive one in the squeeze tube NOT the scented ones either pumps. It’s honestly my holy grail. I wonder how it compares with the shave oils?

I purchased the Coppertone Sport Face SPF 60+ sunscreen before it was listed on the Coppertone website. Upon discovering that it's labeled as a tone lotion on the website, I was surprised, as this wasn't apparent at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, I've found that it leaves a very noticeable white cast, which I would have taken into consideration before buying it. Despite this, it generally doesn't irritate my eyes unless I apply it too close to my tear ducts or if sweat gets into my eyes. However, I've noticed that after wearing it for a while, I do experience some eye irritation. On a positive note, it has effectively protected my face from the harsh sun rays.

[@brandih9702]

The EOS shaving cream is my go to. I haven’t found another like it ❤ I’ll have to give the lotion a try

[@rrooster8218]

To solve the sunscreen burning my eyes, I use a stick around my eye. And then a lotion around the rest of my face. The stick doesn't migrate and I've used mineral and chemical with no problem. Just my 2 cents.

[@montananerd8244]

I'm over the moon about my core skincare routine! Between my SPF, good bug spray, gold Bond, prequel, & the ordinary, I'm a happy gal! I'm trying to pack in the moisture during our brief rainy season. Summer is hot and dry and windy, plus dirt particulate (I live in MT's biggest city but we're still very close to nature ..literally) & ash coming soon, so I'm eager to get my skin to its absolute healthiest, and if I can do a little firming and even-ing, that's a bonus lol! Now to find a frugal alpha arbutin & C serum lol....

I recently tried the Vaseline Extremely Dry Skin Rescue body lotion, the Vaseline Age Defy body lotion, and the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face Serum SPF 50. I like the two body lotions. The first is unscented, but the Age Defy says “Hypoallergenic Fragrance” on the label. It’s a pleasant scent. The sunscreen serum is a nice texture but wow, my eyes do not like it. Will probably stick to my Unseen Sunscreen because I never have issues with it. Would love to try the Trader Joe’s dupe, but I live in Canada 🇨🇦 so unless someone in the States wants to trade some Ketchup Chips and Aero Chicokate bars for it, I will have to stick with my Supergoop

I don't understand what the purpose would be to use retinol in a product like that so if you could enlighten me, (& all of us interested in retinol products), on that I would greatly appreciate it.

[@db-gb5xi]

You'd probably wipe them on your face instead of using a cream and let it dry. I've also seen retinol pads from brands like RoC and Dr. Dennis Gross. Peace Out has retinol eye patches.

[@susanroberts1610]

​​@@db-gb5xiThanks for your thoughts on my question. It would make sense if you use it that way rather than to just take off the days makeup. I use other topical retinol products from Roc & have also tried No. 7. Personally I think I see more difference with the Roc products but I like them both enough to use either. Maybe I'll give these wipes a try soon & see how they seem to work.
