Drugstores are amazing for a number of reasons. You can get practically everything you need for your apartment, pantry staples, your prescriptions, and—I feel like they don’t get enough credit for this—your beauty essentials. Seriously, amidst the aisles of cold medicine and paper towels lies a true jackpot of skin-care products, makeup goodies, and hair care essentials that can easily make up your entire regimen, no trip to Sephora necessary.

The best part of it all? The serums and shampoos and highlighters you can grab come along with a wallet-friendly price tag. Plus, CVS is everywhere, sometimes even open for 24 hours—so your accessibility to the goods is unparalleled.

The only thing is that, like at any beauty store, the selection can be overwhelming. To help you navigate the stuffed shelves of CVS—which, by the way, banned beauty ads that use Photoshop—I asked the megastore what their ultimate best-sellers are. Consider these the drugstore diamonds at the ubiquitous chain.

By the way, here’s how to cleanse your face if your skin’s sensitive. And this is how to incorporate acids—AKA chemical exfoliation—into your skin-care routine.
