If you’re in the beauty scene, you know that not every buzzy product deserves a spot in your routine. As a beauty writer who’s tried countless haircare products, I’ve found that some of the most hyped formulas really do deliver, and you can get them right at your local CVS.

The retailer carries an impressive lineup of internet-famous haircare, from nourishing oils and damage-repair treatments to frizz fighters and styling staples. Even better, several of these viral drugstore favorites are on sale right now, making it the perfect time to try the products that have taken over social media for less. Shop what’s worth the purchase ahead!

13 Viral Haircare Products That *Actually* Work — And Are on Sale

1. Hydration Hero: This hyaluronic acid-infused shampoo helps replenish moisture in dry, dehydrated strands. CVS shoppers can save $3 when buying any two L’Oréal Paris Elvive shampoos, conditioners or treatments, making it a great time to stock up on the viral haircare line!

2. Silky Strand Smoother: Work a small amount of this frizz-defying hair oil through the mid-lengths and ends to help smooth flyaways, soften the look of damage and give hair a polished, freshly styled finish.

3. Damage SOS: Think of these single-use treatments as a quick pick-me-up for hair that’s been put through the wringer from heat styling, coloring or everyday wear and tear.

4. Frizzy Fighter: When humidity takes a toll, this creamy mask offers an extra dose of conditioning to help smooth things out.

Cosmetics are laid out on a round white table. Beautiful little glass bottles and tubes with shiny lids, and some perfume. Woman is in the process of doing her make up.
