Read articleQuick FAQs
Quick answers to the most common budget-beauty questions.
Do I really need a 10-step routine?
No. For most people, cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen are the foundation. Add one targeted treatment if you have a specific goal.
How long does it take to see results?
Give a routine 4 to 6 weeks. Barrier repair and acne improvements take consistency. Sunscreen benefits compound over months.
Are drugstore products “as good” as expensive ones?
Often, yes. Many budget brands use the same proven actives. What matters most is the formula, tolerability, and using it consistently.
How do you choose products for sensitive skin?
Start fragrance-free, patch test new products, and avoid adding multiple actives at once. If irritation persists, simplify and rebuild slowly.
