30 Walmart Skincare Products For Anyone Who Loves When Things Exceed Their Expectations
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1.A luxe collagen moisturizer because it's basically fairy magic in a bottle. This one smells divine and is almost mousse-like in its application. If I wasn't already a skincare girly, this would've made me one.
2.A milky toner that is actually, really, truly hydrating and will quickly become a holy grail in your daily routine.
3.Some tried and true Cetaphil cleanser — listen, if it's good enough for the impeccable Julianne Moore, it's good enough for the rest of us. Not to mention that it goes toe-to-toe with pricer brands on the regular and still manages to come out on top.
4.Some moisturizing hand soap, because your hands have skin, too, and nobody wants cracked knuckles in the winter, thank you very much. Hand soap is arguably, like, the most skin care your hands see on a daily basis? The aloe vera and olive oil in the Meyer's not only smell great, but they don't leave your hands feeling like dried, overused kitchen sponges. I have a bottle of this at every sink in my house. No joke.

Promising review: "I love this hand soap! It always leaves my hands feel moisturized after washing my hands, unlike other soaps that I have tried that typically dry them out. It also smells amazing!" —Olivia
Price: $4.88
5.A pot of eye cream you might not think could be this good since it only costs about as much as a good slice of avocado toast, but it is really that good.
6.A rosemary scalp oil — you know what also has skin? YOUR HEAD. And while so many products focus on hair health, this one does double duty and takes care of the skin around those follicles, too. Whatever you think this is gonna do, DOUBLE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
7.A beloved internet Tree Hut sugar and shea scrub, if dead skin cells aren't welcome in your 2024, but saving money (and looking good doing it) can sit with you any day of the week.
8.A clarifying serum reviewers have pledged their allegiance to thanks to its amazing power of getting rid of cystic acne and helping your skin ~stay~ clear once it's done.

Promising review: "To be honest I was afraid to use this product but a dermatologist recommended this product for small breakouts. I used this for a whole week and wow my skin looks better. I'm a hairstylist and after doing people's hair and sweat with makeup on I get breakouts all the time. But using this before moisturizing and putting makeup on has made my skin feel nice, smooth, and poreless." —Bee
Price: $16.10 (originally $19.99)
9.An oil-free sunscreen that even my super-sensitive-skinned partner swears by. It does leave a slight white cast, but you can buff it out no problem and it's a great tradeoff if regular SPF formulas usually make you breakout. A great go-to for daily wear.
10.A set of star-shaped pimple patches — just because we're breaking out doesn't mean we can't still look cute doing it, and these will blow you out of the water with how great they work!
11.A lip sleeping mask that is so non greasy, you can just... use it in your daily life? I'm gonna be honest: I'm real bad at lips. REAL BAD. But this stuff makes my life easier and I like to put it on when I'm starting my skincare routine so that it has time to sit before I do anything else. (I've also left the house with just this on because it looks like nice gloss?? We make our own rules.)

Promising review: "Made my lips pillowy soft. I couldn't stop putting my lips together just to feel how smooth they were, not greasy either, and my lips stayed softer long after. So good!" —DJ
Price: $10.87
12.A moisturizing oil with rosehip mostly made of Argan oil with just a ~touch~ of rosehip to help with uneven skin tones, scars, and too-dry skin. We love a gentle, easy moisturizer that makes our life easier and our skin brighter.
13.A slab of "the world's best" pumice stone because your feet need love, too. This one comes highly recommended, which frankly I want in a product I'm going to be putting so close to my cute self-done pedicure that took 70 billion hours to do.
14.A Dead Sea mineral mask for the reasons that 1. it's good for your skin and 2. application increases the chance of spontaneous 90s-movies-esque sleepovers by a solid 50%. (It's science.)
15.A snail mucin toner that will give you the enviable "glass skin" we've all seen on the internet. This stuff fights acne, evens skin tone, and improves your skin barrier so that you're basically turning yourself into a skincare superhero every time you wear it.
16.And a glycolic acid overnight peel because every skincare superhero needs a night gig, too. This one will fight on your behalf while you catch some Z's so that you wakeup with soft, smooth skin.
17.A gentle retinol serum perfect if you're a retinol novice who's still looking to minimize fine lines, even out your skin tone, and diminish breakouts. This formula has encapsulated retinol, meaning the retinol molecules are wrapped in a carrier system to minimize the dryness and irritation associated with most retinol products.

Price: $21.97
18.A bottle of micellar water that will stun you with its magical ability to get rid of makeup and daily grime without fierce scrubbing.
19.A bottle of Mario Badescu rosewater facial spray because sometimes you need a ~refresher~ but don't want to mess up your makeup or bother with something as troublesome as a towel. Perfect for throwing in your bag so you can feel effortlessly hydrated wherever you find yourself adventuring throughout the day!
20.An Aveeno face and night cream I promise you smells amazing and is such a good product, especially for the price. This was recommended to me by a friend and it's had a spot on my nightstand ever since. It's lighter than the Loreal collagen moisturizer, so it's perfect for warmer nights when you want to be moisturized but not too moist, you know?
21.An Aquaphor Healing Ointment — I got on the Aquaphor train after having a baby (because this stuff is GREAT for preventing diaper rash), but now it's never leaving my home because I use it on my lips, on my dry elbows, and anywhere else that needs some TLC. My kid calls it "the special lotion" and it really is.
22.A Method body wash in the cutest bottle for the cutest skin. There's a reason you see influencers with every scent of this brand, and that's because they all fit different ~vibes~. I've been using the coconut one this winter to wish myself into a tropical location. It hasn't worked yet, but my skin is very hydrated without feeling like a grease bucket afterward.
Walmart
Price: $7.98
23.A brightening SPF moisturizer that also has vitamin C in it. Anything that combines my multi-step skin routine into less steps is a must-must buy. This one is doubly nice because you should always use SPF anyway, but ESPECIALLY after using vitamin C on your skin because it can make you more sun-sensitive.
24.A pump of leave-on daily lotion because sometimes opening a flip-top bottle, pouring it into your hand, closing the bottle, and applying the lotion is simply too much work. Love that you can pump this on your way out the door and not worry about leaving open containers all over your countertop.

Promising review: "If you're looking for something that gives luxury yet citrus and vanilla, this is for you! It also makes my skin feel smooth and healed and moisturize, which doesn't get any better than that! This lotion has literally became a family favorite to where I've had to ask my house 'who has my lotion' almost daily." —TyJanae
Price: $8.97
25.A Dove 48-hour deodorant that helped me get rid of that weird armpit discoloration for good and keeps me from sweating and smelling in Texas summers. (I can't stress how high of praise this is for anything that has to go up against 100+ degree heat on the regular.)
26.A bottle of Bio-Oil a friend practically threw at me when I complained of my nose being scaly in the winter. Have since used on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than ten buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing.
Walmart, Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed
Promising review: "For several years, I've looked at and considered the bio oil. However, I finally took the plunge. I have scars from surgery and bug bites. I'm fair complexion so scars show up prominently. I was amazed only after one application. After two and three applications, the scars are almost gone. I highly recommend." —MrsBlondie
Price: $9.95
27.A Neutrogena hydrating face mask I'm stocking up on right this instant, because I need the world's easiest sheet mask to slap on my face when all my fav shows come back on air this summer. (Let's hear it for the Bridgerton and House of Dragon girlies. Our time is coming. Join me in prepping now!)
Walmart
Promising review: "Face was so dry after a couple of days of skiing. Decided to try this mask in hopes of some relief. My skin drank it up!! Great way to pamper your skin against winter's harsh conditions. Definitely packing some the next time I travel in the winter." —Love2Shop
Price: $2.77 (originally $3.12)
28.A big ol' bag of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt with melatonin because baths just make your skin feel luxurious and you'll be shocked at how quickly these essential oils lull you into a sleepy trance. (And you know what else is good for your skin? SLEEP.)
29.A skincare starter kit if you're looking to start or revamp your routine. This one includes a gel cleanser, balancing mist, and hydrating moisturizer. (Psst. These are all small enough to be TSA approved, so they can come with you in a carry-on, too!)
30.A hydrating face cream with pretty much everything you could want in a face cream. Packed with hyaluronic acids and peptides, this baby smoothes and refreshes your skin for a bright, dewy look.
