Don’t get us wrong — there’s nothing we love more than hitting up a drugstore and buying a shopping cart’s worth of seriously good skin care products without utterly depleting our bank account. But at the same time, we truly smile every night when we slather on our $300 La Mer mask that leaves our skin looking like a glowing dew drop, which leaves us in a weird, guilty contradiction pulled between affordable and high-end.
And based on reviews, we realized we’re not alone in our plight, because these ladies recently opened up about these luxury beauty products that they swear are actually worth the splurge:
SULWHASOO Gentle Cleansing Foam
“This is one of the best out there. The foam is very fine, which I believe makes it easier to clean. And after cleansing, my skin does not feel tight at all, it feels very supple and clean.” — Francessca Loh
This mild cleansing foam effectively removes impurities while leaving skin moisturized. It gently removes dead skin cells without overstimulating the skin, leaving behind a layer of deep moisture for a clean, relaxed and smooth feeling that lasts long. Compounded with non-ionic cleansing components, it allows for a long-lasting bubble structure, making it easy to form rich, abundant form for a superior cleanse.

It can be used to boost moisturizing efficacy by prepping skin, or as a hydrating mist that’s perfect for a quick perk-me-up spray.
