Now, let’s dive into the world of affordable skincare!

  1. The Ordinary

This brand has taken the beauty world by storm with its extensive collection of targeted serums at remarkably accessible prices. From hydrating formulas to chemical exfoliators, The Ordinary caters to diverse skincare needs. You can conveniently find their products in most Kenyan skincare stores.

My personal favourite: Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

2. Agnes Pure and Regal

A Kenyan brand, Agnes Pure and Regal boasts high-quality ingredients at competitive prices. While not as widely available as some other brands, their products can be found in several skincare stores.

My personal favourite: Unyevu Burst Moisturizer

3. e.l.f.

This brand is renowned for its commitment to affordability, offering not only budget-friendly skincare but also high-quality makeup.

My personal favourite: Holy Hydration Face Cream (Fragrance-free)

4. Isntree

Another brand offering excellent value, Isntree is known for its effective products.

My personal favourite: Isntree Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner

5. Uncover

This brand shines with a diverse selection of products readily available in many stores across the country. I rave about their sunscreen, which leaves no white cast and feels comfortable on the skin. It is an African brand so you can be sure it looks great on black and brown people. They also offer cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and sheet masks.

My personal favorite: Uncover Aloe Invisible Sun Cream

6. Garnier

A household name, Garnier consistently expands its skincare offerings in Kenya. They are one of the most affordable options, with products readily available in supermarkets, pharmacies, and almost everywhere else. However, it’s important to note that their physical scrubs can potentially damage the skin barrier, so I wouldn’t recommend using them on your face.

My personal favourite: Garnier Micellar Water

7. L’Oréal

Another widely available brand, L’Oréal caters particularly to individuals with mature skin. I’m a huge fan of their Revitalift line, which targets fine lines and wrinkles. They offer a comprehensive range of products, including serums.

My personal favourite: Revitalift Triple Power Eye Treatment

I hope this list empowers you to discover effective and budget-friendly skincare options that suit your individual needs. Remember, consistency is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion!
