The Best Drugstore Soaps Under $5

Kaboodle.com

When faced with the dozens of options, it can be overwhelming trying to determine which drugstore soaps are worth the purchase. But with a little help from the Kaboodle community, we found four cleansers that stand above from the rest. Bonus: Each costs less than $5!

Dove Beauty Bar

Formulated with one-quarter moisturizing cream, Dove Beauty Bar ($4 for two bars at CVS) leaves skin squeaky clean without feeling dry or tight. We love how quickly Dove develops a rich, thick lather and that it's both strong enough to wash the body and gentle enough to use as a facial cleanser. Plus, it's got a wonderful, soft fragrance that lingers on skin long after use. No wonder it's a fan favorite on Kaboodle!

Skincare Products Our Editors Can't Live Without


Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar

Consider yourself cursed with an oily T-zone, waxy complexion, and overall acne-prone skin? This non-comedogenic cult-favorite cleanser ($4 at Walgreens) effectively cleans pores without over-stripping them of their natural oils-leaving skin looking and feeling ultra-soft. While we're fond of Cetaphil's suds, we caution against using this soap to remove eye makeup as it can cause a stinging sensation.

Burt's Bees Radiance Exfoliating Body Bar

Finding a decent bar of soap for only $4 is a challenge in itself-but one that's rich in vitamins and minerals? Luckily we spotted a gem of a cleanser from Burt's Bees! The eco-conscious brand's Exfoliating Body Bar ($4 at Macy's) is made with royal jelly-an excellent source of proteins and vitamins-and Jojoba beads and fruit acids, which work together to gently exfoliate skin.

Aveeno Moisturizing Bar

Perfect for dry skin, Aveeno's Moisturizing Bar contains oat proteins that leave a protective barrier on epidermis and help seal in moisture. Plus, we found the hypoallergenic, soap-free cleanser to effectively soothe irritated, dry skin-not bad for $3! You can find Aveeno Moisturizing Bars at Target.
