Best Affordable Skincare Brands At Space NK
The Ordinary
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, £8.90Let’s face it – as one of the best affordable skincare brands on the market, The Ordinary needs no introduction. And The Ordinary AHA + BHA Peeling Solution is a long-standing beauty staple for many skincare enthusiasts looking to improve their skin texture and banish dullness. Use a few drops of the water-based acid treatment in the evening after cleansing, leave for 5 to 10 minutes max and rinse off. Prepare to wake to super soft skin the following day.

Fresh
Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash, £12.00Packed-full of fruit extracts and botanicals – grapeseed oil, strawberry, soap berry peel extract and white sugar crystals – Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash is a treat for your face and your budget. The sugar crystals melt and polish as they meet the skin, gently removing excess oil, impurities and dullness without stripping away natural moisture. Moreover, because the exfoliating effect is mild, it can be used every day. For a stronger exfoliation, use less water.

Ren Clean Skincare
Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, £16.00Affordable, skin-conscious and sustainable – it’s hard not to love REN’s ethos and formulas. The Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, however, is considered a skincare essential by many. It’s designed to (wait for it) brighten, energise, smooth, tighten, clarify and purify skin – and if our savvy shoppers’ reviews are anything to go by, it does what it says on the bottle. Also, extra points for the bottle being made from post-consumer recycled plastic.

NATURIUM
Vitamin C Complex Serum, £22.00Founded by journalist and beauty influencer Susan Yara, Naturium is easily one of the best affordable skincare brands on the market right now and it’s exclusive to Space NK. We love how this vitamin C serum targets fine lines, helps to shield our skin from external stressors and, of course, promotes a radiant, youthful look.

Mario Badescu
Caffeine Eye Cream, £20.00Because it’s not just our minds that could use some coffee in the morning, we love this caffeine infused eye cream from Mario Badescu. It’s not only a soothing wakeup call to puffy eyes, but also targets dark circles and undereye bags. Plus, it’s deeply hydrating thanks to its dose of hyaluronic acid and squalane. We like to store ours in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

BYOMA
Moisturising Gel Cream, £12.00There’s a reason Byoma Moisturizing Gel-Cream (which also comes in the form of an SPF30 version) has caused a frenzy on TikTok. It works for all skin types, but is especially good for oily skin given its non-comedogenic (i.e. non-pore-clogging) formula. It’s weightless, oil, alcohol and fragrance free and features one of our favourite pore-purifying ingredients, niacinamide. The hydrating formula is also powered by the affordable skincare brand’s unique Tri-Ceramide Complex to nurture the skin barrier.

Lancaster
Sun Sensitive Oil-free Milky Fluid SPF50, £25.00Luxurious suncare that’s weightless, effective and kind to our wallets? Right this way! This summer skincare essential by Lancaster has been especially formulated for sensitive skin types and offers a high and mighty protection against UVA (longer wavelengths) and UVB (shorter wavelengths) rays. Plus, it’s oil-free, ocean-friendly and water-resistant too. In short – it’s a treat for every day, and a must-have for your suitcase travels.
