I often feel like I live in a very different world from most celebrities. After all, they have access to designer clothes, famous personal trainers, the world’s best makeup artists and have an unimaginable level of status, wealth and privilege that someone like me — your average, run-of-the-mill everyday person — can only dream of. But throughout my many years writing about the beauty industry, and coming across countless celebrity beauty product recommendations, one thing has really stood out to me: An awful lot of their favorite beauty products are not just ones I can actually afford, but are ones I’ve actually used at some point!

Take Martha Stewart, for example. A few years ago her makeup artist shared that she uses L’Oreal’s Lumi Glotion on her “for dewiness and a smooth canvas for makeup.” The discovery was exciting not just because L’Oreal is an accessible brand that most people can afford, but because it’s something I’ve actually enjoyed using on my own skin! Knowing that a celebrity makeup artist who, theoretically, has access to a boundless number of beauty products, reached for the same drugstore brand I grabbed on my last trip to Walgreens, to glam up Martha up for an outing had me feeling some type of way. A little bit like I had discovered a secret I didn’t know I wanted to hear. But hey, if it’s good enough for Martha, it’s good enough for me!

I’m not alone in that feeling that comes with discovering someone famous likes the same thing as you. When AOL writer Chloe Toscano discovered that Khloe Kardashian used the same lip balm as her, she “felt excited about the fact that even the Kardashians sometimes like minimalist makeup products,” she wrote. “Knowing that Kourtney likes these too makes me feel more high-tone, even in my sheer lip.”

What other anti-aging beauty products do celebrities use, you may be wondering? From the $20 serum that Drew Barrymore likes to “douse herself with,” to Jennifer Aniston’s under-eye stick, to the $17 sleep essential that Rob Lowe “[keeps] everywhere: in my car, in my backpack, in my bedside table,” the stars and their glam squads aren’t shy about sharing the products they use to look and feel their best each and every day.

While some of their recommendations are fully transparent brand partnerships, we’d like to believe that most celebs wouldn’t put their name, face and reputation behind a product that they didn’t genuinely like to use. With that said, below is a comprehensive list of some of the anti-aging beauty products, from moisturizers and eye creams to hair oils and lip balms, that A-listers recommend and that we think you, dear AOL reader, might enjoy.

Health Priority Natural Products Health Priority Vitamin E Oil Barrymore has said she likes to “douse” herself with this cheap, organic vitamin E oil after a week spent too frequently in the hair and makeup chair. “During the week, I’m caked in makeup and frying my hair at work, so I’m just trying to bring that hydration back in,” she told Well + Good in 2021. “It’s become a huge priority for me in the last year, and now I just want to be soaking in this stuff.” There’s a lot of hydration in this little bottle, too. This powerhouse includes jojoba, avocado and rice bran oils for an added moisturizing punch you can use on your face, body, lips and hair. Beyond quenching thirsty skin, vitamin E oil also helps diminish the look of wrinkles by locking in skin’s natural moisture and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. $20 at Amazon

TATCHA Tatcha The Serum Stick In 2021, Jennifer Aniston snapped a behind-the-scenes pic of her makeup artist’s counter and revealed all the skin-care products used to prep her face for “The Morning Show.” Eagle-eyed beauty sleuths spotted this serum stick from cult-favorite Japanese-inspired beauty brand Tatcha. This serum stick is the ideal delivery system for softening fine lines, prepping skin for makeup and targeting dry patches. It’s made of 80 percent squalane — a known skin fortifier — and is also fragrance-free, cruelty-free plus dermatologist-tested. When we’ve tried this ultra-silky balm it’s left behind a dewy finish to wherever it’s been applied and it’s beyond-amazing for smoothing the undereye area before applying concealer, to avoid makeup settling into fine lines. $49 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $49 at Tatcha

EltaMD EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen SPF 46 You may have heard of this sunscreen before — it’s a celeb favorite. Brooke Shields once told Elle that she uses the EltaMD sunscreen line “every day — even in the winter.” But it’s also a favorite among Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, who said in an Amazon Live shopping video that this sunscreen is “the absolute best, best, best product.” “Everybody I know uses this,” she said while holding up a bottle of the SPF 46. “I use the tinted one, so I start with this on my face before I go anywhere.” Richards is onto something, because EltaMD’s SPF products are consistently among the most recommended sunscreens by dermatologists we’ve spoken to over the years. It’s high quality, well formulated for various skin types and provides suitable protection that easily fits into your already busy morning routine. $37 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $46 at Dermstore

Weleda Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream If you prefer ultra-rich and thick moisturizers and lotions, you might want to take note of a lotion that Julia Roberts turned us on to. Weleda Skin Food is an ultra-rich cream formulated with nourishing natural ingredients like extracts of rosemary, chamomile and pansy in a base of sunflower and sweet almond oils. It’s safe for use on any skin type and on any area of the body.

L’Oreal Paris L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Anti-Aging Midnight Face Serum Jane Fonda is easily one of the most recognizable movie stars of our time. But the almost 90-year-old still has a glowing complexion that those several decades her junior are envious of, and one reason is her favorite nighttime serum: L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Anti-Aging Midnight Face Serum. “Skin is very important,” she said in a 2021 interview with Grazia. “As you get older, skin tends to get drier — everything does,” Fonda said. It’s made with hydrating ingredients that work to replenish skin’s antioxidants and hydration levels like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. Each drop quickly absorbs into the skin for a soft, smooth complexion without leaving behind a sticky residue. $35 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $33 at Target

VIRTUE Virtue Flourish Hair Thinning Density Booster Spray Jennifer Garner says this hair-boosting spritzer is the “biggest hair innovation for thinning hair in years and years.” That sounds like a pretty strong recommendation, if you ask us. Garner is such a fan of the spray, she’s become an ambassador for the brand after being introduced to it by her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel, who also happens to be the Creative Director of the brand. The spray uses a clinical-grade protein that’s identical to keratin, which is necessary for strong and luscious hair, skin and nails. Good for synthetic and dyed hair, it works to thicken and strengthen strands while boosting roots and adding more volume to limp locks. $50 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $50 at Nordstrom

Bio-Oil Bio-Oil Skincare Oil Bio-Oil is the affordable beauty product that celebs and everyday shoppers alike swear by for fixing everything from dry skin and uneven skin tone to fine lines and wrinkles. And in 2019, Halle Berry took to Instagram to dish on her personal secret to combating stretch marks. “It’s the only thing I believe, just in my personal opinion, that actually puts a dent in removing your stretch marks and that’s this oil called Bio-Oil,” she said on her Instagram stories. “I’ve been using it for, I don’t know, 15 years now. I got through both of my children, this oil helped. I got through stretch marks from my gymnastics days as a kid, this oil helped—and as you see, I use it so much mine is almost empty,” she said. There’s a lot of science as to why this miracle oil works, too. It’s formulated with a variety of oils, including vitamin A, vitamin E, chamomile, sunflower and lavender, which blend together to create a luscious formula that stimulates collagen production. That collagen leads to greater skin elasticity, diminished wrinkles, and can also help to reduce the look of scars, stretch marks and dark patches. Plus, it’s super hydrating! $7 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $10 at Walmart

Indio Papago Del Indio Papago Cream With Tepezcohuite Salma Hayek may be 58 years old, but the actress never seems to age. She spilled her secret to anti-aging skin back in a 2015 interview with Elle magazine, where she dished on a little-known ingredient native to Latin America. “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” she told Elle. At the time, the actress chalked up this miracle ingredient to “why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.” And while that interview might’ve been a decade ago, the Frida actress still has a dewy complexion and smooth skin that many envy, which is why it’s no surprise that Amazon shoppers have been loving the Del Indio Papago Night Cream with Tepezcohuite. The cream contains Tepezcohuite powder, collagen and vitamin E. $15 at Amazon

TheraFace Therabody TheraFace PRO Microcurrent Facial Device Last year, Sydney Sweeney told New York Magazine’s The Strategist that the TheraFace PRO, an 8-in-1 facial massager, was one of her favorite things she owns. Naturally, that piqued our interest. The TheraFace Pro Microcurrent device may look mysterious, but it makes a big difference on Sydney Sweeney’s skincare routine, according to the 27-year-old actress. While she admits that she has “no idea what it’s doing,” she does know one thing: “It definitely tones and sculpts my face,” and that’s more than enough for us. The tool itself sends small currents of electricity to stimulate your facial muscles, firm your skin and encourage collagen production. It comes with eight attachments including three types of LED light rings: red for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, blue for treating sun damage, and yellow for soothing inflammation. It also comes with three percussive attachments (core, micro-point and flat), a microcurrent ring, and a cleansing ring. $420 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $420 at Nordstrom

Neutrogena Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula In an interview with The Cut, Cindy Crawford, now 59, admitted that there’s one product that’s consistently been part of her beauty routine since the ’90s. “Neutrogena has a body oil that I put on sometimes, and that totally reminds me of being 25 years old in New York,” she said. Neutrogena’s Body Oil Light Sesame Formula has been a best-seller for years, revered by shoppers for its lightweight moisturizing formula, refreshing scent and non-greasy touch. The oil is formulated with an ultra-hydrating oil extracted from pure white sesame seeds. The lightweight product helps skin maintain moisture while layering on a subtle fragrance that some reviewers call “light,” “refreshing,” and “delicious.” It’s not hard to see why Crawford has reached for this sheer moisturizer for decades.

The “West Wing” star admitted to stockpiling these eye masks. “I discovered sleep masks probably ten years ago, and this is the best sleep mask I’ve ever found,” Lowe told The Strategist. “It was a game changer when I found it. I keep them everywhere: in my car, in my backpack, in my bedside table.” The mask is gently weighted with beads for calming pressure relief to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. The ergonomic design that Lowe loves is designed to fit perfectly around your head and eyes, with deep eye pockets that allow you to open and close your eyes without squishing your lashes.

Kate Blanc Cosmetics Kate Blanc Cosmetics Organic Castor Oil Back in 2021, Helen Mirren shared on her Instagram that castor oil is a product she loves “not for its laxative properties, but for hair, skin, nails.” And Mirren isn’t alone.

Mario Badescu Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask Martha Stewart’s skincare routine is working for her, because at 83 she has the glowing complexion and vibrancy that those half her age are after.

In fact, her facialist Carmela Barabas shared the star’s go-to products in an interview with Vogue UK, and one major step in her routine is the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask. “”[It] restores skin texture and skin elasticity,” Barabas said.

Viviscal Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements For Women Gwyneth Paltrow touts a lof of products that people love to hate on, like spirulina popcorn and questionable scented candles, but one of her recent beauty secrets she dished about to Vogue made our ears perk up. Paltrow said she turned to Viviscal’s hair growth supplements after a bad Brazilian keratin treatment went awry. “It beyond works. I want to buy stock in that company,” she said.

VEGAMOUR Vegamour Gro Hair Serum In 2022, Nicole Kidman teamed up with Vegamour as a brand investor and “hair wellness advocate,” and it’s a partnership that makes sense. Kidman’s luscious locks have been part of her iconic look since the Practical Magic star hit the big screens. But after decades in a career that requires long hours and lots of time spent in hair and makeup chairs, Kidman said she was noticing the effects on her locks. “When I was younger, I didn’t pay enough attention to my hair, especially considering the demands of my career,” she says. “I’ve realized that our hair deserves as much attention and care as we give to the rest of our bodies.” Vegamour’s Hair Serum is specifically designed for those with thinning and shedding hair due to any number of factors. The plant-based formula is made with phytoactives, peptides and plant stem cells to strengthen strands, promote density and boost your hair’s overall resilience. $64 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $64 at Sephora

Augustinus Bader Augustinus Bader The Shampoo and The Conditioner Sharon Stone, the Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning celeb icon, knows too well what it’s like for your hair to need some support. For that, she turns to The Shampoo and The Conditioner from luxury beauty brand Augustinus Bader. In 2001, when she was 43, Stone suffered a stroke and brain hemorrhage that ultimately took seven years to recover from. While healing, she noticed she’d lost some hair and began looking for solutions. “I started using this Augustinus Bader shampoo and conditioner and after-shampoo leave-in conditioner,” she said in an interview with Byrdie. “All the hair I had lost under here, on the sides from the stroke, grew back. And I have hair!” The brand’s patented formula probably has something to do with Stone’s results. It’s a proprietary blend TFC8 formula, amino acids, high-grade vitamins and hair-nourishing peptides. $130 at Amazon

HIMS & HERS hers Topical 2% Minoxidil Hair Growth Solution Jennifer Lopez is an icon in a lot of ways, but we’d argue that her luscious locks make her one of the most iconic when it comes to enviable hair. So it made sense in 2020 when J Lo teamed up with hers, a digital health and wellness brand focused on women, to bring attention to women’s hair care. “When I was coming up, I didn’t know how to take proper care of my hair when I first started working in television and film,” Lopez wrote on a hers Instagram post. “I had to learn about minoxidil from my hairstylist! And I’ve been using it ever since.” Dermatologists agree that minoxidil is the key ingredient for hair regrowth and deshedding. The serum works to reactive hair follicles in order to stimulate regrowth for fuller, healthier, more luscious strands. $30 for 2 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $15 for 1 at Walmart
