21. A Briotech spray for soothing rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, and other skin irritations, highly comparable to the much-loved (yet expensive) Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray.

26. The Ordinary's AHA 30% Peeling Solution is an at-home peel that resurfaces skin, exfoliates dead cells, clears clogged pores, and enhances skin turnover. The result is visibly smoother and more radiant skin. Some reviewers argue that the cost of Drunk Elephant's T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial is hard to justify given the similar ingredients and comparable results that many users report from this product.

27. A brightening scrub that will leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and radiant, thanks to Madonna lily in the mix. Additionally, it includes lemon peel, French green clay, and sea kelp to effectively cleanse and purify your pores.
