The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The $14 Moisturizer That Feels Like a Pricey Night Cream Before my nighttime skin care routine morphed into a 12-step event (a hazard of working at TotalBeauty.com), it was simplistic to a fault. As in I rarely -- if ever -- used a moisturizer. You see, in my experience, night creams were greasy messes that caused breakouts. When I confessed this to my beauty-product-loving BFF, the look of shock and horror on her face was enough to send me in hot pursuit of a moisturizer that worked for my skin.
A few Google searches let me know that CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM, $13.99, was loved among users and dermatologists alike. When I started using it, I immediately understood why. Unlike other night creams, it doesn't suffocate skin, yet it feels as silky, rich and hydrating as many break-the-bank lotions. It's loaded with nourishing ingredients, like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and it's void of additives that make my skin freak out. Even now, surrounded by expensive creams for the 2015 Total Beauty Awards, I still reach for this one. Best of all, it made my skin visibly healthier -- for less than I'd spend on an L.A. cocktail. --Mary Squillace
