My holy grail moisturizer of 10+ years has priced itself out of my life... what are your budget-friendly treasures?

My little pot of La Mer and I have been together for over a decade. It's been my holy grail, my one true treasure for my face. But... I think its character has changed. The price is getting truly, ridiculously high!

I'm just not sure I can keep this relationship going. So I'm turning to you all.

I'm officially on the hunt for a new main character for my skincare collection. What are your absolute favorite budget-friendly moisturizers that have that same amazing energy? Does anyone else ever feel like they're breaking up with a product they've loved forever? It feels so dramatic, but here we are!
