I seriously LOVE CVS products!

I have loved CVS for as long as I remember. Now that I am a Rhode Island native and with CVS being a Rhode Island based company, my love for CVS has exemplified over the years. CVS is my go to store for basically everything and anything! However, what I did not realize was how buying products from the CVS brand will not only be be made of the finest ingredients, as some of the national name brand products, but will also help me save money on these items.

What many people don’t realize is the CVS store brand products are developed with the same high-quality ingredients that national brands use and could readily assist you in your daily beauty routines. How great would it be to spend much less money on some of the wonderful CVS brand name products with the same results of some of the more expensive label names.

I want to give you an example of how buying CVS brand personal items will help you save money against buying some of the more expensive products on the market. I want to take 5 personal care items and show you the difference using the CVS brand vs. the National Brand Alternative is:

CVS Brand                                                                                    National Brand

CVS Brand Dark Spot Corrector $12.99                                National Brand Alternative  $16.99    Save $4

CVS Brand Exfoliating Apricot Towelettes $4.99               National Brand Alternative  $10.58   Save $5.99

CVS Brand Makeup Perfecting Face Primer $9.99              National Brand Alternative  $16.98  Save  $6.99

CVS Brand Keratin Straightening Shampoo  $5.99             National Brand Alternative $9.99   Save $4.00

CVS Brand Keratin Straightening Conditioner $5.99          National Brand Alernative $6.99  Save $1.00

TOTAL SAVINGS USING THE CVS BRAND PRODUCTS: $21.58!!

As mentioned the following CVS/pharmacy Brand personal care products including CVS Dark Spot Corrector, CVS Exfoliating Apricot Towelettes, CVS Makeup Perfecting Primer, CVS Keratin Shampoo, and CVS Keratin conditioner are now available at over 7,300 CVS pharmacy locations nationwide. These products are creating using innovative techniques and ingredients in easy-to-use packaging so that the difference is not just about the price- many CVS pharmacy Brand products offer benefits or features that the national brand do not.

In addition to store brand savings, members of the CVS pharmacy ExtraCare savings and rewards program can spend even less and earn rewards during the shopping trips- so you can look great without breaking the bank! Also, all CVS pharmacy Brand products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. If you try these products and are dissatisfied for any reason, you can return the CVS pharmacy Brand product (opened or unopened) along with the receipt to the CVS pharmacy store and get a full refund- no questions asked!

I have been using the CVS Brand products for some time now and LOVE them! I thought I share some of the products that I am currently using in my beauty routine. The CVS Dark Spot Corrector I use every morning as my daily moisturizer to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and acne marks. Since I have been using it, I have noticed brighter skin and less break outs. I also love using this corrector because my face is filled with freckles. My skin feels so smooth using it!

To take off my makeup at night, I use the CVS exfoliating apricot towelettes. These towelettes smell wonderful and effectively take off my makeup so I could go to sleep with a fresh face. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It is also oil free, so I don’t have to worry about this aspect. Some towelettes I have used in the past made me break out and with the CVS pharmacy Exfoliating Apricot Towelettes, I do not have this problem! In the past I did get oily, and have used the CVS oil absorbing sheets which have worked wonders for my face!

Lastly, I love using the CVS pharmacy brand Keratin Straightening Shampoo and Conditioner. I get my keratin done professionally every four months and most of the times they try to sell me ridiculously expensive hair products. I end up resorting to buying them because you need a Sulfate free solution on your hair when washing it. Now though, I can still get the same Sulfate and Paraben free solution shampoo and conditioner but with a fraction of the cost! I am pretty sure I will never use another keratin shampoo/conditioner again!

Be sure to check out CVS pharmacy brand beauty products now available at CVS nationwide. Why not get the same great results with beauty products but with a fraction of the cost!

    I often find I like the CVS brand more than the national brand. The fact that they’re better on the wallet is even better!

    I love the store too and shop there when I visit the US. Unfortunately, we don’t have a CVS in Canada.

    I love CVS, too. In fact, when people ask “What’s your favorite store?” I say “It’s a toss up between the Dollar Tree and CVS.” 🙂

    I love their night cream. I use to the Olay brand but switched up and it’s the same.

    I am a huge CVS fan as well. I buy their brand whenever it’s available. It always works just as well as the name brand. I also love that there are almost always Extra Buck options if you buy the CVS brand!

    I’m always a big fan of the CVS brand items. You can’t beat the prices when you compare them to national brands… as you pointed out!

    CVS has some awesome products, and at really competitive prices. I love how about once a month you can scan your card for coupons for free products

    I only buy certain CVS products, but of those that I do get, I ONLY get the CVS brand. Never the brand name. I seriously love CVS. 🙂
