I Gave Up Luxury Beauty Products for a Month. These Are the Drugstore Products I LovedIn the name of beauty, I ditched all my expensive products to find the drugstore ones that would make me swoon |
A Drugstore Essence That Blew My Mind Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Hyaluronic Essence, $24.99
I have a bit of an essence obsession. Essences have a high concentration of active ingredients, and are applied after (double) cleansing and before serum. And I'll admit, I was a little skeptical that a drugstore essence could deliver the same results as the expensive ones I was used to using. But this essence proved me wrong. The bottle is sturdy and pretty, and seems designed to keep light out (thus maintaining the benefits of the ingredients).
The water-light formula glides onto skin and is quickly absorbed. I'm a sucker for anything brightening, so I appreciate that this essence contains vitamin C. In fact, I liked this so much that I used it every night.
