She may be an A-lister, but Reese Witherspoon is one of the more relatable celebrities out there, especially when it comes to her beauty favorites. And while she definitely has the means to buy the most expensive skin care products, Reese can’t help but love a bargain, just like the rest of us. The Morning Show star even told Refinery29 that her go-to face wash is one you can easily find at your local drugstore: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, which can be yours for just $13 at Amazon.

Got sensitive skin? You don’t have to spend big for a product that will give it the TLC it needs.
A good cleanser can cost upward of $60, so when a celeb like Reese Witherspoon raves about a skin care goodie that won’t break the bank, it’s time to scoop it up. The affordable face wash is infused with glycerin and niacinamide to hydrate skin while it cleans it. Other cleansers can leave your skin feeling dry, but this hypoallergenic option is formulated to preserve your skin’s moisture barrier and provide up to 48 hours of hydration. It has been clinically tested and approved by dermatologists, plus it’s noncomedogenic — that means it won’t clog pores — and safe to use on all skin types, including sensitive skin. No wonder Reese says it’s also one of her travel favorites.

Of course, a brand this beloved has plenty of fans outside of Hollywood too. Over 12,000 Amazon reviewers have given Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser a five-star rating. Plus, shoppers have snapped up more than 40,000 bottles in the last month alone.
“My dermatologist, who sells all brands of high-end products in her clinic, recommended this cleanser as the best one for her patients to use,” a shopper shared. “When I started using it, it is hands-down, by far the best facial cleanser I have ever used! It is light and removes everything … My serums absorb better and into my skin, leaving it much brighter and clear!”
“Does a great job of cleansing my extremely sensitive skin while not drying it out,” raved another. “If I use it regularly, my dry, flaky skin and my eczema are greatly reduced.”
While this cleanser is unscented, some shoppers say they found its fragrance off-putting.
“Cleanses and moisturizes quite nicely,” shared one shopper. “The scent is not pleasant at all.”
Another shopper agreed: “I liked everything about the product but the smell.”

Cetaphil isn’t the only budget-friendly beauty find that Reese loves. She also told Refinery29, “I like the Revlon Eyelash Curler; it’s as good as any eyelash curler I’ve ever used.”

Grab this beloved beauty gadget to sport lashes that get noticed. Boasting the brand’s signature triple-tiered lash pads, it curls lashes at three different points to create a dramatic curl with just one squeeze.
“I used to have lashes that WOULD NOT CURL, even though they were long, they wouldn’t,” wrote one customer. “After I tried this at a friend’s house, getting ready, I fell in love! It finally gave that push my lashes so desperately needed to curl, so I ordered it from Amazon and used it. It gives the best volume! After I used it a couple of times, my lashes became SOOO MUCH EASIER TO CURL, EVEN WITH OTHER CURLERS. It’s like this curler gave me lashes, the push to get used to being curled.”
