Truth be told, I can’t remember the last time I used my ExtraCare card. With that being said, if the avalanche of new beauty products at CVS are any indication, it’s time to dust off that little red tag and hightail to the nearest store. Most of us already know that drugstore beauty is nothing to roll your eyes at.
The deals are getting sweeter, the product ranges are getting wider and the prices are always affordable. CVS is hardly an exception. Beyond those on-the-go and last-minute necessities like tampons and pantyhose is an impressive hair, skin and makeup selection that is constantly evolving and updating to include more buzzworthy finds.
In the case of 2020, things are off to a super-sized start with almost 100 products recently making their CVS debut. And I’m not talking about the basic and boring stuff. CVS has seriously stepped its game up with launches I instantly noticed off their Internet buzz alone, like essie’s expressie nail polish that dries in under a minute and Dove’s dry conditioner (not shampoo). Plus, there’s some under-the-radar innovations I didn’t even know existed, like the Head & Shoulders leave-on scalp treatment and Batiste’s Waterless Cleansing Foam, which just so happens to be infused with one of my absolute favorite emollients: almond oil.

And if that weren’t enough, Eczema Honey will be making its CVS debut on March 27 with three products: the Nut-Free Skin-Soothing Cream, Premium Witch Hazel and Aloe Vera Spray, and Itch Cooling Face and Body Rounds (above). Of course, tracking down every single newbie would take more time than you probably have, so here are the best ones you’ll definitely want to try.
