I’m hardly one for new year’s resolutions—though I do love a January skin care overhaul. Swapping stale serums and replacing expired creams, however, can prove pricey—though it needn’t be: This year, I’m culling from an Amazon storefront of products priced $10 or less. Below, nine anti-aging skin care staples I’ve added to my cart, starting at $6. My grand total? Less than what I’ve paid for single products in the past.

Best $10 and Under Skin Care:

L'Oréal Paris Wrinkle Expert 55+ Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer

Formulated specifically for mature skin, this smoothing face cream is a fan-favorite among shoppers and InStyle readers. The formula features glycerin, which plumps fine lines on contact. It also contains calcium, which soothes ruddiness and calms winter-worn skin by strengthening the skin barrier. A true testament to its effectiveness? A shopper in their 60s has felt “confident going out without makeup” since incorporating the cream into their routine.

Sokgo 7% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

Glycolic acid is among my favorite skin care ingredients. An alpha hydroxy acid, the chemical exfoliator sloughs dead, skin-dulling surface cells to reveal a fresh-faced glow—in mere minutes. This particular option, which hails from a Korean brand, is notably gentle thanks to its pH-balancing, sensitive skin-friendly formula.

E.l.f. Holy Hydration! Sleep Mask

Hailing from a Jennifer Coolidge-used brand, this quenching gel-cream bestows instant and long-term benefits. Hyaluronic acid plumps fine lines and smooths rough texture on contact, while peptides diminish wrinkles over time. Shoppers report the formula—which works as an overnight moisturizer or soothing mask—delivers “soft and hydrated” skin after a single use.

Soulight Retinol Eye Stick

The skin around the eyes is more delicate—and, consequently, more wrinkle-prone—than most; an unfortunate truth I’m beginning to experience in my 30s. Ergo, I’m eager to try this smoothing solution, which delivers retinol, among other anti-aging ingredients, via a convenient swipe-and-go solid. One fan said their eye area appears “more awake and youthful” than it has “in years” thanks to the $10 formula.

Join me in refreshing my skin care supply—and shop additional anti-aging steals, below.

Grace & Stella Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment

Loyotice Collagen Overnight Facial Mask

Holika Holika Good Cera Super Ceramide Cream

Éclat Collagen Anti-Aging Face Cream
