The Best Drugstore Products for Aging Skin
Aging gracefully doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank. Some of the best skincare and beauty finds are sitting right in the drugstore aisle, you just have to know where to look. Every time I make a Target run, these are the products I can’t leave without. I liked everything for you, so you don’t even need to leave the house.
And let’s be real: it doesn’t matter what the first number in your age is — we’re all aging. Might as well do it gorgeously, right?
My Ride-or-Die Drugstore Picks
Covergirl Simply Ageless Under-eye Filler & Brightener ($15.89)
This little wand is magic — it de-puffs and conceals under-eye bags (designer bags only, babe). Genius at a genius price.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 32HR Fresh Wear Foundation with SPF 25 ($15.89)
I've been loyal to some version of this foundation since high school. It’s lightweight, matte, long-wearing, and super buildable. Plus, the built-in SPF 25 is a nice bonus — though I still recommend layering two fingers' worth of your go-to sunscreen underneath for real protection.
Covergirl Advanced Radiance Pressed Powder ($9.99)
A pressed powder that firms and soothes the skin? Yes, please. This one’s infused with an amino peptide complex and gives full coverage, blurring fine lines and wrinkles like a dream.
Maybelline Lifter Liner Lip Pencil ($8.99)
Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, this liner smooths on effortlessly to sculpt and define your lips while giving them a juicy, plump look.
Maybelline Lifter Plumping Gloss ($7.64)
I’m obsessed with this gloss. It’s packed with Hyaluronic Acid for extra plumpness, and the shades are stunning. My go-to? "AMBER." Trust.
Maybelline Tattoo Studio Automatic Gel Pencil Waterproof ($10.19)
Not technically for aging skin, but a must-know hot tip: this is the best eyeliner on the market. It glides on like butter and doesn’t budge all day. If you know, you know.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara ($12.69)
Same goes for this mascara. Not an "aging" product, just an icon. It’s lightweight, easy to layer, and gives insane length without clumping. It slaps.
Final Thoughts
Aging is a privilege, and looking good while doing it should be fun and accessible. These drugstore staples are proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune to take great care of your skin.
