It's still summer weather here in L.A., but my co-workers on the East Coast are entering full fall mode. Naturally, I had to ask what products they're swapping in for fall, and they sent me a list of affordable finds from CVS. I love CVS for both viral, of-the-moment products and tried-and-true, derm-tested skincare that helps my skin stay its brightest and bounciest as I transition to a new season. With products like radiance-boosting vitamin C serums and blurring sunscreens, the retailer has every product you need for glowing, healthy skin. If you want to see the list they sent me, you can find all the buzzworthy products below.
Vitamin C is an ideal product for your morning skincare routine. This one from editor-favorite brand La Roche-Posay is formulated with 10% vitamin C, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin for your brightest, most radiant glow.
Why CVS?
CVS has some of the best skincare I've ever tried, point blank. Pair the vitamin C serum above with a luminous sunscreen, and your summer glow will continue into the fall and beyond. And with countless derm-tested options, CVS has established itself as a trusted destination where clinically backed solutions meet everyday accessibility, making it easier than ever to shop with confidence.
I've been using this sunscreen for years. The serum-like fluid blends beautifully into the skin, and the ultra-lightweight 100% mineral formula features protective zinc and soothing vitamin E, so it never irritates my sensitive skin. I always keep a backup on hand, so I'm never without it.
If you're looking for an affordable alternative to the more expensive invisible sunscreens on the market (you know the brand I'm talking about), this SPF is your best bet. And if you want to explore more of CVS's expert suncare recommendations, check out the CVS and SkinSAFE skin product ingredient database. Developed with Mayo Clinic, this comprehensive, searchable tool helps you easily find every skincare product you need to develop a complete routine that works for your specific needs.
Affordable Price Point and Value-Forward Products
Everyone deserves access to products that work, which is why CVS offers a wide range of quality picks at prices that fit real budgets. As a budget-conscious beauty lover who's tried both luxury and affordable skincare, I can attest that CVS puts value at the forefront, offering options that fit a variety of price ranges (like Palmer's Brazilian Coco Firming Cream). CVS also runs Extra Big Deal promotions and BOGO sales, so you can save even more while stocking up on your favorites. And if you're extremely busy, CVS offers same-day delivery to save you a trip to the store. CVS turns everyday value into a genuine skincare win, whether it's with a mini of your favorite treatment, a dupe that punches above its weight, or a deal that makes stocking up a no-brainer.
With a medley of ingredients like Brazilian guarana, açai, collagen, and elastin, this rich cream hydrates while also helping to visually firm and tone skin. Plus, it smells like a delectable tropical treat.
Meet your new favorite everyday SPF. Eucerin has partnered with dermatologists to create an SPF that's free of fragrance, dyes, parabens, PABA, phthalates, oxybenzone, and octinoxate. It has hydrating ingredients, SPF 50, and a universal skin-blurring tint, plus it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, so it's safe for all skin types.
