As much as we love skincare steals, we can’t deny that some expensive beauty products are genuinely worth their cost. That high price tag may deter you at first, but the promise of clear, healthy skin makes it totally worth the splurge. Don’t believe us? Take it from Filipino Gen Z celebs—they’ve tested lots of luxurious skincare products but only the best of the best become mainstays in their routines.Â
We’ve rounded up some of their faves below to save you some time, but saving the money will be entirely up to you. Scroll down and get your wishlist ready!Â
