12 of the best beauty buys you can score at Walmart, a secret skin-care hotspot

Contrary to what early aughts Paris and Nicole might have thought, Walmart is more than just a place that sells walls. Actually, according to an old commercial that has been stuck in my head for approximately the last two decades, “Walmart is the only place where I can get everything I need under one roof.” I remember grabbing everything from groceries to CDs (remember those?) and toys to body-care staples at the big box store back in the day, but my beauty products? Not so much.

Now, though, Walmart’s beauty aisles have seriously grown up. Instead of merely having your predictable drugstore staples, the super store now stocks K-beauty products, more natural skin-care options, and even cult faves that you used to have to to scour the deep internet in order to get. Color me impressed.

So in addition to carrying everyday essentials like lawnmowers and fish bait, everyone’s favorite suburban megastore has become an underground skin-care hotspot. I’m not kidding: Walmart’s now carrying brands like Alba Botanica, Derma-E, Thayers, K-beauty fave Cosrx, Image Skincare, and even prestige brands like Clarins and Eve Lom within its surprising inventory. The best part of the whole thing? You’re still going to see Walmart prices for everything. So while you’re running errands at the place, be sure to stock up on your skin-care goodies for way less. Keep scrolling for the best beauty buys you can score at Walmart, below. (It was hard to narrow them down, BTW.)
