For affordable serums
Check The Ordinary, The INKEY List, COSRX and BYOMA. Sephora Qatar currently lists several options under QAR 60.
For moisturiser
Look for products suited to your skin type rather than simply buying whatever is trending.
For sunscreen
This is one category where it is worth checking the SPF, broad-spectrum protection and product suitability rather than choosing purely by price.

- Check the sale section before buying full price.
