Like I don’t need to scavenge for a cost effective moisturizer from scraping the oil off a backhoe by the cloak of darkness the new moon provides but does anyone have recommendations. US if relevant.

    Lol I think you’re fucked if from the US. Grey market skincare may or may not be cheaper. And Korean sunscreens tend to be the cheapest but they have been tariffed in the US. Maybe Cerave is going to be the cheapest Mousturizer you can buy in bulk. One liter of moisturizing lotion. Cream can be too heavy and block your pores, causing cysts that are hard to get rid of. Also, don’t fall for sensationalized aesthetic products. Prefer indexing by active ingredients. Retinoids, exfoliation (salicylic acid for oil and glycolic acid for water), hyperpigmentation (hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, alpha arbutin)

    Grey market websites for skincare off the top of my head is skinorac and dashpct. I think the absolute cheapest is going to be making your own products

      Yeah I probably should have said that I’m literally only starting a facial skincare routine. I see what my post implies now
