9 multi-use skincare products that will save you time and money

Shop smart and simplify your beauty routine with these essentials that pull double-, even triple-duty

by Ho Guo Xiong and Arissa Ha  /   June 20, 2020

If you’re on the look out for different ways to cut costs and tighten your purse strings, one avenue you can do so is through your skincare products. While we have been conditioned to use an item for each step in our routine – cleanser, toner, essence, moisturiser – there are actually many ingenious and efficacious formulations that do more.

Using these multi-tasking beauty products not only saves you time when you’re feeling crunched, it also saves money over time as you have less replenishments to make. Consequently, your vanity gets less cluttered too – a triple win in our books.

9 multi-use skincare products that will save you time and money
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner Mist, $33 (120 ml)
image

Made with white tea leaf water, meadowfoam seed oil and glycerin, this facial mist can double up as a hydrating toner after cleansing to add hydration and nourishment.

And you can also use this mist as a quick pick-me-up for parched skin throughout the day, before or after makeup application, or saturate rounds of cotton pads to use as a quick mask.

Hada Labo Hydrating Perfect Gel Moisturiser UV SPF 50+ PA++++, $35.90 (80 g)
image

You might be tempted to skip on sunscreen when you’re working at home. But keep in mind that UV rays can still enter through the windows (and even glass, if you keep your windows closed) and cause damage to the skin. If you’re looking to cut down a step in your morning routine, pick a moisturiser with sun protection.

This lightweight Hada Labo formula is made with their multi-molecular hyaluronic acid technology to provide hydration and it also provides has sun protection. Just make sure you’re using enough to get the benefits of sun protection.

Sigi Skin Dream Capsule, $82 (50 ml)
image

Each pump of the silky air-whipped Sigi Skin Dream Capsule brings together collagen-boosting, brightening, anti-inflammatory, barrier-strengthening and moisturising benefits for the skin. A moisturiser and an overnight mask, you can use it on its own or as the last step of your nighttime routine.

Key ingredients include bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, and purslane, which helps to stimulate cell repair and reduce the appearance of marks and fine lines.

Lixir Universal Emulsion, $88 (100 ml)
image

Use this lightweight cream in the day or night, all over your face—yes, even around the eyes—neck, lips and décolleté. It’s your one stop for a burst of hydration that helps quench thirsty skin to keep it comfortable and plump all day.

It also has shea butter, soybean and safflower oil that leaves your skin feeling dewy, never greasy.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Clay Mask, $13.90 (100 g)
image

This product has the brand’s proprietary Barriercare technology that is said to protect the integrity of the skin barrier. It doubles as both a daily face wash and a clay mask.

Kaolin and bentonite help extract excess oil and dirt, while glycolic and salicylic acid help to exfoliate the skin and keep breakouts at bay.

Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Advanced Formula, $115 (450 ml)
image

Shu Uemura’s famous cleansing oil has been created such that you can skip using facial washes in your usual double-cleanse routine. The lightweight texture glides easily over the face while the oils work to pull out makeup (even waterproof) and excess sebum and dirt without leaving a greasy film after rinsing it off.

Just use it twice if you can’t seem to get out of the habit of double cleansing.

Foreo Luna 3 For Normal Skin, $299
image

The Foreo Luna 3 is for those who love using beauty tools to give their skincare routine that spa-like experience. The side with silicone bristle is used to achieve a deeper cleanse with T-Sonic pulsations, while the flip side works as a massaging tool.

Connect the device to your phone via the Foreo app and employ different massage treatments to sculpt and contour the face.

Dr Ci:Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Super Moisture EX, from $62 (50 g)
image

This 5-in-1 gel cream replaces the need for moisturising lotion, emulsion, treatment essence, brightening essence and makeup base as it contains multiple types of hyaluronic acids, peptides, ceramides and collagen. A thick layer can also be applied as a hydration mask.

Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer SPF 30, $108 (22 ml)
image

This primer contains pearl powder and soy protein to smooth and even out fine lines and texture while having SPF 30 protection against UV damage. It also contains peptides to support skin elasticity and firmness.
