Drugstore beauty isn’t what it used to be, especially when the internet does all of the investigation work for you and finds the formulas that are as good (if not better!) than luxe products. Whether you need the best acne patches for that random breakout, want a cheap but nourishing body lotion, or ran out of your shampoo and want to try something new.
Here’s what we’re adding to our CVS carts this March.
The Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is so TikTok viral, it’s honestly hard to avoid at this point. This stuff is formulated to give the best glossy blowouts, with just a few spritzes. It’s designed with heat-activated polymer technology that is lightweight, non-greasy, and creates a sleek finish as soon as you run a round brush and hair dryer through it, helping you achieve a salon-worthy style at home.
The e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter is another internet favorite dupe, with many fans saying it’s super similar to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter concealer—but only a fraction of the price. The concealer works great on its own for a no-makeup makeup look, and also blends well under and over makeup.
Monday Haircare makes some of our favorite drugstore hair products, including the Monday Smooth Shampoo, which is under $10 for a full-size bottle. This shampoo is formulated with wheat protein, coconut oil, and avocado oil to provide hair with a soft and sleek finish, while also nourishing strands for long-term care.
With so many mascaras out there, you know the viral ones just hit differently. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara is great for creating some seriously dramatic volume and is loved for its smudge-proof formula. It also has a uniquely-shaped wand that makes it easier to apply mascara to every lash possible.
If you get an oily T-zone and want a product that easily absorbs on-the-go without additional makeup application, the Revlon Oil-Absorbing Roller is such a hack. This tool is made from a real volcanic stone that can easily absorb oil as you roll it across your complexion.
The Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Acne Patch is a drugstore favorite for getting rid of pimples, with many videos showcasing the way it essentially sucks out the gunk from your inflamed pore. On top of that, it works super fast—like between six and eight hours—to flatten pimples.
Finding a cheap body lotion at the drugstore is easy—but one that feels as luxe as Aesop? Near impossible. This eos Shea Better Body Lotion in Vanilla Cashmere has a buttery soft texture that melts into the skin and smells so divine.
