Sephora is a vast store filled with hundreds of beauty products. How do we know what to buy and what not to buy? Let’s be honest: the shelves are lined with endless products that promise clear, radiant skin and are guaranteed to prevent wrinkles. But there are almost limitless options; how do you separate the must from the bust? Suppose you’re interested in elevating your skincare routine but don’t know what’s worth it or what’s a money grab. In that case, this article will provide better navigation so that the next time you enter Sephora, you won’t hear a biased opinion. You are informed of what’s worth it. Keep in mind that I am not licensed in anything, but I’m giving my opinion on what is worth it.
I am starting with what is worth the splurge. If we look at Sephora’s best sellers, Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner, which retails for 35$ for 5.07 fluid ounces, and if you want a smaller size, there is a 16$ version that includes 1.35 ounces. This product is marketed for skin types that include standard, dry, combination, and oily and targets pores, dryness, and dullness within the skin. This product has over 6,000 reviews with a four out of five rating, and it works. I had been using this product for eight weeks and saw a significant difference in my skin. First, it smells incredible, leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump, and reduces the size of my pores.
The following product should be a staple within everyone’s routine. Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray retails for 28$ for 4 ounces. This product is a facial spray that smoothes + replenishes irritated skin and calms down redness. It includes ingredients such as hypochlorous acid, an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial that helps your skin fight harmful bacteria. Not only is this product great for people with face acne, but it will also target back acne and general body acne, which is so convenient because all you have to do is spray it on irritated areas and go about your day. This product is also great for people who are frequently at the gym. Just quickly spraying your face unlocks a practical but easy application.
Now, let’s get into a product that’s not so worth it. First up is the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer, which retails for 62$. Don’t get me wrong, this product has excellent reviews, but there are way more affordable moisturizer options. If you are looking for another moisturizer at Sephora, the ordinary has a 22$ version called Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides- Moisture- Rich Surface Hydration.
Overall, Sephora has many skincare options that can be overwhelming, but there are many alternatives to help save your money and get more bang for your buck. Sephora is filled with hundreds of products, but there are so many dupes circling and products that do the same thing, so it’s essential to research before purchasing.
