Over the years, I've become pretty good at finding alternatives to viral products. I spend many of my workdays testing and reviewing products, and I love comparing items and determining which are worth the money. When it's time to find a good alternative, CVS is always the first place I look. It houses top-tier products that allow me to create a self-care routine that's both on-trend and suits my beauty needs. The options are often dermatologist-tested and available at an accessible price point. What's not to love? I rounded up the top five products that are perfect for your summer self-care routine.

Derm-Tested Options

It's quite literally my job to test the latest viral products. CVS has plenty of trending items, as well as dermatologist-tested alternatives to the more expensive formulas that you see on the market. CVS offers a great way to add certain ingredients to your routines without breaking the bank. You don't have to spend a lot of money to curate a routine that works for you, and these products are all the proof you need.

Head-to-Toe Self-Care Solutions

Self-care is key, especially if you lead a stressful or busy life. Luckily, you can make it a priority by shopping at CVS. You can curate your own head-to-toe self-care routine with its suite of essentials—from skincare to hair masks to fragrance to wellness supplements—all without spending a fortune. Being able to complete your shopping in one sitting without running to multiple stores for one routine is self-care in itself.

Accessibly Priced Products

Contrary to popular belief, self-care doesn't have to be expensive. Shopping for your essentials at CVS can actually be affordable. Its high-quality formulas rival the luxury products on your social media feeds, so it's a no-brainer to shop there when you'd like to indulge in some pampering. It also delivers skincare at accessible price points through minis, trials, and derm-approved alternatives to viral products.
