Jennifer Garner takes product recommendations very seriously. The 51-year-old has yet to steer us wrong. Whether touting the virtues of the Brooks sneakers she’s “devoted to” (she’s often spotted wearing the comfy shoes on errands in Los Angeles) or the products you’ll find her using in the background of her Instagram posts, these real-life moments just go to show that Garner actually uses the products she recommends to others. And we love her for that.

So when The Last Thing He Told Me actress reveals what she uses in her day-to-day routine, we make sure to take note. This goes for everything from her skincare routine (have you seen how incredible her skin is?), the meals she makes for dinner, and even her low-maintenance haircare routine. Garner loves products that hydrate and while she’s not afraid of aging, she does put effort into keeping her skin moisturized. A daily SPF is an absolute must for the 13 Going on 30 actress and she’s consistent with incorporating Neutrogena retinol into her daily skin routine.

The best part is, Garner’s favorite things don’t come with hefty price tags. Despite being a movie star, Garner’s daily essentials, including her favorite workout looks, are all available on Amazon. We’ve rounded up our favorites that you can shop now.

Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid

Designed to plump skin, this hyaluronic acid water gel leaves even extra dry winter skin looking hydrated. “It’s just so satisfying, you instantly see the difference,” says Garner.

Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler

Stay hydrated before, during, and after a workout with Garner’s water bottle of choice. Garner received the viral 40-oz. tumbler as a gift and didn’t understand the hype behind why everyone was obsessed with their Stanley cup. That was until she tried it for herself and now is hooked on it for helping her drink more water.

Go-To Dinners: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

As the co-founder of organic food brand Once Upon a Farm, it’s no question Garner is serious about what goes into her body. Wondering what’s for dinner at Garner’s house? Usually something from one of Ina Garten’s cookbooks. “I do like to cook and bake for people I love. It’s the gift of being a mom, you get to train your kids’ palettes,” shares Garner. “Anything I do well is because of Ina.”

Invisible Daily Defense Face Sunscreen

A devout user of this daily defense sunscreen, there’s no question that Garner is committed to sun protection in her daily routine. “SPF is vitally important if you’re using retinol,” Garner shared with Prevention. “It’s important that you use a higher SPF than you do during wintertime months. And that you reapply and even layer.”

Glycerin GTS 20

“I take sneakers very seriously,” Garner told Prevention. “I have a new pair of Brooks—I am devoted.” Garner is passionate about these popular running shoes that are designed with built-in GuideRails® technology. This support system is built to keep your feet and knees aligned as you walk or run to help alleviate pain.

Convertible Color Lip And Cheek Cream

Simplify your makeup routine with this two-in-one color cream. The cheek and lip color is a beauty bag essential for Garner, and we understand why. Its versatility and portability make it easy to slip into your bag and touch up your makeup on the go, a necessity for a busy actress.

High-Waist Vapor Legging Pants

Pair these high-waisted leggings with a pair of Brooks running shoes and a t-shirt and you’ll have fully achieved Garner’s effortless “cool mom” look.

Rapid Firming Peptide Contour Lift Face Cream

This moisturizing daily facial cream works wonders. Made with small proteins called peptides designed to penetrate the skin, this contour lift cream also helps build collagen and plump the skin. “It just gives the skin a real youthful vibrancy, and a kind of bounce to it,” says Garner.

Carrie Portable LED Lamp

When Garner posted a video on Instagram of her foraging for fresh herbs in her garden at night, our editors were quick to notice the beautiful lamp that lit her way. Easy to carry with you thanks to its handle design, its brushed brass finish also makes it a decorative indoor piece.

Adrenaline GTS 22

As often as she’s spotted wearing them, it’s no surprise Garner has multiple pairs of Brooks in her closet. Prevention named it the best overall running shoe for flat feet, thanks to its soft cushioning paired with support from Brooks’ GuideRails® technology.

Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Regenerating Cream

Even with a celebrity budget, Garner still chooses this Neutrogena retinol regenerating cream as her go-to retinol cream. And she’s not the only one. The fragrance-free formula has over 31,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. Designed to help fight signs of aging, reviewers share this is their choice of retinol for sensitive skin.

Rapid Wrinkle Repair 0.3% Concentrated Retinol Face Oil

“My skin can be a little sensitive, so I’m loving the Neutrogena Retinol Oil. It’s kind of a no-brainer at night. It does what it needs to do without turning me red and making my skin angry,” Garner shared. Garner knows that introducing retinol into a skincare routine can be a challenge due to peeling, which is why she chooses this as a regular retinol user (this may be too potent for retinol beginners).

Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil

With her commitment to protecting her face and hair from sun damage and signs of aging, is it any surprise Garner also has a go-to product to care for the rest of her skin? The actress keeps her body moisturized and glowing with the help of 100% pure coconut oil, which she applies right after getting out of the shower. Coconut oil is full of hydration benefits for not just skin, but also hair, making it a wonderful addition to any moisturizing routine.

Purifying Leave-in Conditioner

This leave-in conditioner by Virtue is Garner’s secret weapon for creating an effortless air-dried hair style. It’s made with the Alpha Keratin 60ku(R) protein which helps add nourishment. The sulfate and paraben-free formula targets damaged hair in an effort to repair it for a healthy look.

6-in-1 Styler Cream

If you follow Garner on Instagram, you may have seen the video of her post-shower hair care process. Included in her air dry routine is this styling cream, the next step after she sprays in the leave-in conditioner above. Packed with benefits, the cream helps to soften hair, giving it a boost of hydration while also helping to increase color vibrancy, reduce frizz, thicken hair, and repair split ends.

Purescreen+ Tinted Sunscreen

Commited to sun protection, Garner never skips her daily SPF. After using the Neutragena Daily Defense Lotion, Garner’s next layer of sun protection is a tinted sunscreen to help even out the complexion. “It’s feeding skin while it’s protecting your skin,” Garner raves. “I love that it gently evens out your skin tone and that is just a bonus.” Available in four shades, this moisturizer was designed to be great for wearing under makeup and is free of parabens, fragrances, and oxybenzone.
