Sephora Shopping Spree Picks from The Professionals

In this “girls’ edition” episode of Skin Side Out, the hosts share what they’d buy on a Sephora skincare shopping spree, category by category, and explain why—after realizing a full routine under $100 wasn’t realistic. They compare cleanser picks (Mara Aura Cleanse for dry skin and Torriden Dive In Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam), vitamin C serums (Paula’s Choice C15 and Skinfix 15% Vitamin C with THD), moisturizers (Alpine Barrier Repair Cream and First Aid Beauty Hydrating Dewy Gel Cream), sunscreens (tinted Saie Slip Tint, Innisfree Daily UV Mineral, and Isdin Eryfotona Actinica), and retinol options (Alpine Clarifying Retinol Facial Oil and StriVectin Advanced Retinol moisturizer). They also share splurge items (La Mer night cream and YSE glycolic pads), accessories (Slip silk pillowcase and sleep mask), and tips on vitamin C packaging, skin-type differences, and checking ingredients with a provider.00:00 Sephora Spree Setup01:02 Cleanser Picks02:26 Vitamin C Serums04:18 Moisturizer Favorites05:53 Sunscreen Picks09:53 Retinol Choices12:30 Splurge Items15:12 Accessories and Sleep19:01 Wrap Up and Tips
