8 Walgreens Skincare Finds That OUTPERFORM Department Store Counters

Department store skincare can cost two, three, even eight times as much as what's sitting a few aisles from the Walgreens pharmacy counter. But price isn't the same as proof. One drugstore serum on this list went through a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology. Another is a full prescription-strength retinoid that needed a doctor's prescription until 2016. In this video, we reveal 8 Walgreens skincare finds that hold their own against department store counters, with an honest look at what's inside each one, what it does for skin over 60, and the cautions you need to know: 8. Eucerin Immersive Hydration Restoring Night Cream 7. Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector 6. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk SPF 60 5. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer 4. L'Oréal Paris Revitalift 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum 3. RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream 2. Differin Gel (adapalene 0.1%) 1. No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum Which drugstore serum was tested against a placebo, and what did independent dermatologists really say about the results? Why is a prescription-strength retinoid hiding in the acne aisle, and why should women over 60 talk to a dermatologist before using it? How can a $12 lotion help crepey arms and hands as much as a luxury firming cream? And how do you build a complete morning and night routine from these 8 finds? We break down ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, retinol, adapalene, peptides, urea, provitamin B5 and broad-spectrum sun protection, plus simple Walgreens shopping tips: rotating beauty sales, rewards programs, expiration checks, and why the pharmacist is one of the best free skincare resources in America.
