I’m sharing with you some of my favourite, basic skincare products that just happen to be budget-friendly and super affordable! All of these are high quality despite the low price and everything is under $20. I have something for all skin types! I’m sticking to skincare basics with this video and will most likely do another one with my favourite masks and other actives and special treatments! Some of these items have remained favorites for years, standing the test of time while there are a few newer discoveries too.
I had a few lighting/filming glitches so excuse any inconsistency in quality!

Such a perfect video for us broke university students who still care about our skin!
So, I’ve watched this about 4-5 x already and taking notes. Love these videos. My dry, out of control peeling has been behaving so well since I’ve been using a lot of the skin care items I’ve seen on your channel. Thank you
I suffer from oily skin and always stripped my skin but now after watching your videos I’m all about hydration!! And it works! Thanks for the tips and opening my eyes to some of my favorite products
I know! the hydration makes all the difference! Who would’ve thunk it!
I love the new packaging on the hemlish balm! I picked up some in Korea a few months back and ordered 2 more and opened the new package this morning and was super happy! Easier to open, better placement for the spatula and more product! Woot! Didn’t know about the formula change though <3
Sigh… Just when I said I was done buying skincare products for now, Renee comes out with a new budget skincare video. My wallet weeps but my skin looks great ;-;
Renee, I’m so glad I found your channel! Thank you for the high quality, non rambling, heavily researched videos!! The description box is always filled to the brim with helpful information as well. I appreciate you and what you do!
Finally someone who gets that most off us can not afford the pricey brands that most YouTubers review in their videos.
Agree , get so tired of videos or recommendations for 70-200 an ounce or 1/2 ounce products. Some of us cannot afford 500 a month in skin care ..
Amalli Beckham amen!!!
Yes she could sell ice cream to an Eskimo. I love her knowledge and manner
I loved the fact that you introduced the products in the same order they should be applied on the skin! :) Great video, Renée! Looking forward to the one about Retinoids :*
Catarina F ahhh me too! I can just pick them up as they are!! 💖
For the first time, thanks to you I have started really caring for my skin and it’s never been better. I have finally started to understand what my oil skin needed. I have also started teaching my young girls your amazing information to help them as their skin changes through puberty. Loved this video so much. Thank you for finding good slightly less expensive options to try out, it really helps. Love your videos and you your the best.
Love the video Renee! Thanks for doing budget friendly products, would love to see more. Big thanks xoxoxo
thank you SO SO much for this video. you’ve literally given me a shopping list. you’re the only person I trust for skincare advice! and these prices are so great–nothing you’d come across in a Sephora.
You are the wise older sister or that cool aunt that every teenage girls needs in her life.
Kristina J 😂😂😂 I read to fast.
Sakineh Anikeh right!!!! So unselfish!
True. Trust her like a mother
Instablaster.
And guy!
Waiting for another budget skincare. Thank you Renee! Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re awesome!
you make me feel like buying everything! love the way you describe the products and the ingredients/ chemistry behind them
There is something about your speech that makes me believe in everything you talk about right away
AGREE
Me too
Lol….her presentation is very professional!!! You just want to trust her!!!
Agree😂😂
its the intent to educate and inform to help people. it’s coming from a place of good faith and doing something good for people
Hey girl, I just wanted to say that I truly love your channel! It is so so informative and always features the most diverse products while catering for a wide range of needs, like I really appreciate how you also talk about cheaper but yet very good skincare options for us broke people. Personally, as a full-time student with a part-time job, that is just great! Thank you for all your hard work :)
My skincare is actually running out, and omg I didn’t know I needed this! I’ve never tried the 7 skin method or these products but this girl is about to do an overhaul for her skin! 😂 lol I have dehydrated oily skin FOR sure and I am so excited for these affordable, but effective products. Thank you! I’ve absolutely subbed.
I remember watching this two years ago when I was struggling with acne and now, I’m watching it with clear skin and acne-free
