Reese Witherspoon, 48, says this $14 cleanser is her go-to drugstore beauty buy

Cetaphil's gentle, dermatologist-approved face wash won't clog pores and keeps skin hydrated for up to two days.

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 may have 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 $14 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 upwards 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 8,700 Amazon reviewers have given Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser a glowing five-star rating. Plus, shoppers have snapped up more than 20,000 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."

Some reviewers said they don't like the package's pump design, which a few mentioned can break during shipping.

"Product is excellent," said a shopper. "But the container has one of those squirt tops that you are supposed to twist to open. Doesn't work. So ... you have to open the top and pour the contents out. Poor container."

This dermatologist-approved cleanser is non-comedogenic — that means it won't block pores — and safe to use for most skin types.

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 get 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've been curling my eyelashes for over 40 years and I've always used the old-fashioned curlers with the metal on top and black pad on the bottom," wrote one customer. "Not only did this curler give a natural-looking curl, it made my lashes look so much longer and so pretty!"
