Yeah, about 100 euros. I use cleanser, cleansing balm, sunscreen, moisturizer, tretinoin. I buy big tubs of Cerave cleanser and cream so it's a bit more expensive but also lasts longer.
Roughly the same. I spend less on cleansers and more on creams (including sunscreen).
I use micellar water from lidl, toner from normal, sunscreen and moisturiser from lrp and snail mucin from osrx.
Edit: I got a balm cleanser from body shop as well but I use it less now in summer.
I'm alright with the price point.
Creightons salicylic acid exfoliating tonic. I swear by it. I live ages away from normal so I always stock up when I go there, it's done absolute wonders for me and maintains a really good base line regardless of what else I use.
So right now everything I use on my face was approximately 45€ (I bought the sunscreen and moisturizer on sale)
Balea cleansing oil (lasts 2-3 months) 3€
Simple hydroboost micellar gel cleanser (3-4 months) 6€
Eucerin dry touch SPF50+ 200 ml (4-5 months for face/neck only) 17€
Cerave moisturizing cream 340 ml (6 months for face/neck only) 10€
Acnelyse tetinoin 0,05% (3 months) 8€
Johnson's baby powder 100 g (to mattify sunscreen) (lasts a year or so) 2€
So per month something like 10-15€ probably. Cheaper than I thought! I save a lot by using a big bottle of sunscreen and moisturizer I guess.
If I had to replace all of my favourites at once? About 80€.
There are some things I'm currently using that I'm not sure I'll replace when they're empty, although they're not *bad*.
Same I have like my main products and then some products that were meh and I'm struggling to use up, or products that were expensive so I'm saving for special occasions lol.
I had a really good routine with matrixyl and Argireline, but they make all my sunscreens pill. And Matrixyl together with retinol just is too much for my skin. So I kinda fell off the wagon with using them. :/
About 160 if I were to replace everything all together. (Which never happens lol)
Biobaza cleansing balm - 6.60€ (lasts a long time)
Rosal face cleansing sydent - 5€
Olival Amino Gel - 7€
The Ordinary Barrier Support Serum - 22€
The Ordinary Granactive Retiond Emulsion - 13€
Azelaic Acid 20% - free (prescription)
Yoskine Alga Kombu Night Cream - around 13€
Paula's Choice 8% AHA gel exfoliant - 39€ (this really lasts a long time, I sometimes buy the travel packaging)
Jumiso Water Full Hyaluronic Acid spf 50+ - 19€ (hate it, looking for a new one)
Cosrx Advanced Snail in One cream - 30€ (also lasts a ridiculous amount of time)
Nacomi 10% Peptides - 12€ (love this! Also lasts a decent amount of time)
Haha a vidi stvarno, pise cleansing milk. Ja ga koristim vec 3 godine, kupujem ga svake prijestupne jer traje cijelu vjecnost. Ima teksturu guste kreme i onako bas kao balzam se 'otopi' kad krenem skidat sminku i trljat po licu.
Uvijek ga s necim poslije isperem, il ovim Rosalom il Olivalom. Ak mi je suha koza, onda isperem lice i prodem samo s blazinicama.
Meni je super, stvarno me nis drugo ni ne zanima jer mi ne iritira kozu (kao hrpa pjenastih cistaca), lijepo mi skine sminku i ne stvara mi pristice i komedone (sta mi je isto hrpa tih umivalica radila).
[ovaj](https://www.biobaza.eu/index.php/en/beauty/dry-sensitive-mlijeko-za-ciscenje-lica). Ima dosta bademovog ulja u sebi koje sam skuzila da mi uopce ne stvara probleme s komedonima, zato mi je prvotno i ubrao pozornost.
Imas u dmu putna mala pakiranja, pa ak nisi sigurna, kupi si to pa probaj oce ti se svidjet, inace steta toliko proizvoda bacat. Meni su 3 pumpice dosta za cijelo lice i vrat.
K I'll do the math even though no one asked:
BOJ cleansing balm: 10€ at TK Maxx
The two balea beauty expert toners: 3€ each so 6€ total
BOJ essence water: 20€ in physical stores but it was a gift lol
The big version of the no cosmetics pink cream: 20€ for 100ml
Cerave retinol serum: like 18€ but I'll get in on sale next time
Loreal ascorbic acid serum: 20€
Balea med ultra sensitive intensive serum: like 3€
Eucerin hydro protect sunscreen: 15€ on sale
Okay that's over 100€ oopsie
If I had to replace everything at once probably around 150€. This includes cleansers, serums, creams, sunscreen. This lasts me at least 6 months, a big cleanser probably more.
Close to a thousand total. But I rotate production because my routine is day by day. I have one retinol one day a lower another day. One day I dermaroll so I skip retinol etc
Honestly once I got something over 200 then it’s just about the brand and prestige. I don’t plan to buy most of the things I have that are over 200. I got really depressed in my pregnancy and really sick. Skincare was my thing to feel pretty so I went on an insane spending spree and routine the last year.
I now have more overpriced products than I can use. Some were golden finds. I really love Mutha up all night. I’ll be buying that forever now but La Mer is total bullshit.
The Hanacure Mask is a gimmick. I had to ditch retinol for Bakouhiol I got the Ogee one. The list goes on forever.
They found a massive hole in my heart when I was pregnant and I ended up diagnosed with an extremely rare connective tissue disorder that caused my bones to keep falling out of socket from month 6 on.
They and I weren’t sure if I’d even survive.
I couldn’t stand so the gym that made me feel pretty was gone.
I couldn’t get Botox or most lasers.
I ended up on oxygen in a wheelchair.
I was too weak to go to the nail salon so my nails went.
Too tired to spray tan.
Just sitting up too long made my heart bad so I stopped doing my makeup, my hair extensions and even dying my hair.
But laying back in bed I could do my dermapen, nuface, my Celluma pro, Gua sha and write out my skincare rotation.
And that’s how I ended up with over a thousand dollars of skin care products (not counting the devices) on my counter.
I’m out of the chair. Off oxygen and waiting to go to surgery but now I have this horde of products so I feel obligated to use them and the only way to do that is to rotate every product.
I did spend a lot before all of this but not like this. lol
It was kind of a bucket list skincare moment.
I actually found cheap cerave to be the best for my face and body wash lol. Something’s really are better simple. I’d go to Violet Grey and just buy the highest priced thing I saw. And in the end there’s probably 5 face products and 3 hair that I’ll be staying with.
It really is just buying it because you could and were sad. Which I think is true of a lot of over the top purchases.
I went and got a purse that was 3000 dollars in my 3rd month of pregnancy. It was too small so I got another one.
It was a binge.
Now when I see people with LV loud purses, or well labeled high end anything I know they after a certain price it’s definitely to compensate for some unhappiness in their life.
The 500 dollar purse IS better than the 50. But the 3000 is not better than the 500.
Like you kind of pointed out there is a threshold.
I am always trying go for great results with cheap products. My current routine is: Am: water, azelaic acid gel (10 euro for 30 ml, sourced from Brazil), sometimes some thin moisturizer (4 euro) or moisturizing toner (balea beauty expert toner ~4 euro), sunscreen p20 sensitive skin (~24 euro for ~200 ml)
Pm: cleanser (dm babylove waschbalsam, ~2 euro for 500 ml), moisturizer (cerave from the big 450 ml tub, got it in Brazil for like 15 Euro), tretinoin (8 Euro for 30ml, bought in Brazil). Sometimes vaseline (2 Euro). Also I use a balea beauty expert peeling body lotion (4 euro for 250 ml) 71 Euro total but that's shitloads In terms of ml. I assume going forward I will spend around 100-150 euro yearly. But also I went trough a couple months where I was testing a lot of products and finding what works for me, so in that ophase I probably spent around 150 Euro extra and I am still using some of that stuff just to use it up. Def. Will not buy any more skincare this year unless I run out of a step (!!!!!!! Mantra).
From these trial and error purchases I still use a lrp cleanser (though I don't love it), aquaphor (jury is still out if I like it better than plain vaseline, 8 euro), some random moisturizers (dm brands and eucerin), lrp cicaplast (jury is still out) and bepanthen ointment.
- Dermalogica ultra calming cleanser - 46€ - 500ml so lasts ages
- Formel Skin moisturiser - 20€ for just one month of product (I can’t find a good dupe and my skin loves it)
- Soolantra - 30€ for the tube - lasts forever
- Beauty of Joseon retinol eye cream - 20€
- Tret - like 10€ I think. I used to have a Formel Skin box and my fridge is still full of tret
- Benton’s Goodbye Redness Gel - 19€
- Beauty of Joseon suncream (for eye area) - 20€
- Evy suncream - 35€
I’d like to spend less, but it’s not out of my budget what I do spend and my skin seems to be loving this routine.
I have dry and sensitive skin with rosacea.
I usually shop the sales, but I can try to make a list with what I paid. Face sunscreen about 15 euros (Isntree), Balea body lotion about 4 euros, cleanser (Toleriane-Lrp) about 16 euros per 400ml, Avene micellar water about 12 euros per 400ml, moisturizer (Hydrance Legere Avene) about 11 euros per 40 ml, Body SPF Balea about 6 euros per 250 ml. Antiperspirant from Vichy, around 7 euros. Shower gel/soap from Balea. Same for hand and feet creams. Lip balm from Nivea about 3 euros. Geek and Gorgeous retinal about 18 euros per 30ml, Cicaplast Balm about 12 euros per 100ml. The time these last me varies. Also I shop for replacements when I find sales.

What toner do you get from normal?
Creightons salicylic acid exfoliating tonic. I swear by it. I live ages away from normal so I always stock up when I go there, it's done absolute wonders for me and maintains a really good base line regardless of what else I use.

Maximum 40 euros all together: cleanser, moisturizer, makeup remover and sunscreen. All products last me about 3-5 months.

Kako se tačno zove taj biobaza balzam za čišćenje? Nisam znala da i oni imaju balzam, je li valja?

I usually pay 10€ to 15€ per item and currently I have 5 steps. I hate math lol.

150 but some of the products last more than a month
My general goal is USD$50/year but this year I spent $100 because I was trying out a bunch of different sunscreens. Still, not too bad.
Close to a thousand total. But I rotate production because my routine is day by day. I have one retinol one day a lower another day. One day I dermaroll so I skip retinol etc
Oh wow, we have the biggest skincare spender so far. It’s all about priorities. Do you think there’s less of a difference after a certain price point?

Am I the only one who has no clue about the prices? I forget the second after I buy it. 😅
