BUDGET VERSIONS OF BEST SELLING SKINCARE 😙💵

[@alicecordova-potter6251]

Yes! Nothing is a 100% dupe, but those of us with a budget appreciate a breakdown of the similarities and differences so we can decide if the value is there for us. Thanks as always!

[@JamesWelsh]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@madieg]

James pls do a video on "value-sized" skincare!! like at least 100ml sunscreens, moisturizers, etc.

[@JamesWelsh]

Ohhhh that’s a good idea!!!

[@sirah.a]

@@JamesWelsh Some medicinal brands like e45 and cetraben are pretty good for value-sized skincare. works well for my dry sensitive skin. It would be cool if you could include those products

[@WendeCrow]

Yes! Especially sunscreen.

[@barbieblue3336]

Yes, there are many out there now.

[@ownsbytessa]

Jumbo sunscreens!!! I have dry skin and i usually went through 80ml size sunscreen in 3 weeks. Recently change to Cancer Council sunscreen because they offer 500ml and 1L size option. And it's affordable as well.

[@jessiemae4]

YASSS! Finally someone is talking about Peach Slices! I haven't heard anyone talking about it :( I came across them in a Beauty Within video where Fel went to Ulta to see what they had. She found Peach Slices' Azelaic Acid Serum, bought it, and tested it out. That is the ONLY instance I've seen someone bring up this brand! After that video, I (a person who struggles with redness but hasn't been able to justify buying the Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid Booster because of the price in comparison to the size) immediately bought the serum and fell in love with it! An absolute gem! Thank you so much James for going out and finding these dupes!

[@oliviagulino8309]

I put the Peach Slices toner in a small spray bottle and use that to mist it onto my face and chest. It works great like that!

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Love this idea! Thanks!

[@cassierussell6281]

That's a really good idea!!

[@4thmonthgirl]

Genius

[@SoDarnSatisfying]

So glad to have a good Azelaic recommendation that doesn’t contain Salicylic Acid!!! This Aspirin allergy cuts out so many products from my needs list. Thanks again for the budget recommendations! Have a fantastic week everyone! 🖤💜🖤

[@oliviamclay6998]

The Face Theory one is fab!!

[@sophdoeslife]

Oh yay the glow recipe plum plump is my FAVOURITE and coincidentally I just got the versed one, can’t wait to try it 😂

[@marzash]

I would love for you to make a video reviewing more Peach Slices products. I used their snail rescue toner, it was so affordable, and I really liked it.

[@mostlymissy]

Thank you for these recommendations/substitutions. Beauty shouldn't be expensive or out of reach!

[@dayecollier5510]

I love the peach slices Snail Rescue Toner! It’s like a thick kind of tacky toner that’s very hydrating. I also love their Acne Clarifying cleanser. It’s like a gel like texture that slightly foams up.

[@JamesWelsh]

That’s next on my list to try! I currently have 5 toners open so need to use them up first 😂

[@misshell2223]

@@JamesWelsh & it feels like forever before being able to actually finish some of them😄

[@TheWispiestKitty]

Came here to say this! Peach Slices Snail Rescue is awesome.

[@ashleydugger3975]

More affordable sister brands are turning into some of my favorites. Sweet Chef Skincare is always top of mind since it's affordable, easily accessible, and the sister brand of Glow Recipe!

[@lavenderhoney3208]

Not only have you taught me so much and helped me love my skin, but your videos have helped all three eof my girls, with very different skin, find products that work for them. I am also now using your lessons to dupe my husband into repairing his severely damaged skin. Fingers crossed!

[@acadam8324]

I appreciate the way you explain skincare in detail including terms that not everyone is familiar with. So thank you! x

[@Oopsydaisie]

I think you'd appreciate the 'Angel Aqua Moisture Cream' from the Korean brand Beyond. It's a gel type and super hydrating but it's budget; often coming in 1+1 for dirt cheap. I found it from a Korean KZbinr who got her audience to send in their top best high end / budget moisturisers then ranked them. I can put this on at night and even after 10 hours sleep, my face is still incrediblty dewy. Then if I'm not going out, I won't wash my face but it'll hold up the rest of the day!

[@marcela.x01]

I’ve been using the Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner and I’ve been loving it so far! I like the texture because it’s not thick or slimy, it’s more of a runny fatty water and it’s helping calm down my break outs and picked skin 🫣🫣🫣🤣 this one product paired with the La Roche Posay cicaplast balm it’s chef’s kiss my irritation, inflammation and redness has significantly improved after I started using these products together!

[@rachael.m.]

I bought the Versed moisteriser based on this recommendation and love it. I've been using it at night. Thanks James

[@mystic_mimi21]

A video idea. You a Robert swap videos. So you have to a robert video (makeup and try and emulate him and try and pass off as an expert) and vice versa. Robert tries to do a skincare video. Recreate each others videos and we vote who did the beater job. It’s a play on how you are always asked if you swap places. Also please bring back your Robert vs James series.

[@AKbaby89]

Ooo I love this idea!! So fun!

[@helenkelly272]

Yes! Or a voice over on the others video

[@lornaphang4081]

Or Marcus doing the voice over for both their videos!

[@kb01999]

I was JUST thinking about this the other day. Totally agree

[@lorrainemcintyre807]

They have actually done that . I watched it just a few days ago.

[@denisechung8740]

Thank you for doing this video! I’ve been looking for a dupe Paula’s choice bha exfoliate! Gonna try the peach slices !!!

[@kristinaprakash]

So excited for this!! My bank account appreciates you James!! ✨✨

[@melissabrock1575]

I’m sure someone has recommended this to you before, but I’m going to go ahead and tell you anyway. My favorite toner is very watery. I felt like I was wasting so much product using a cotton pad. I bought a very small spray bottle and pour my toner in. Just spritz, and pat it in! I also love to keep it in my skincare refrigerator. I’m in Texas, so the cool spray always feels nice!

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

The versed dew point moisturizer is AMAZING!!! I’ve used so many tubes at this point it’s amazing. Great over other products and great under makeup as well.

[@lindseystein9676]

Yes it’s a favourite of mine too. It works well under makeup & is very hydrating/moisturizing

[@SandraMorris51]

I love these types of videos. It really helps to have options!Funny because I was eyeing that Versed gel-cream the other day. Might have to go back for it 😀

[@feardominique]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I love Paula's Choice products. However I don't love the price point. I will definitely try these out! You're a godsend. I appreciate your content so so much

[@ginger_80]

I’m catching up on videos. Congratulations on your COSRC collab. I’m definitely buying the vitamin c and retinal duos.

[@maryeckel9682]

"I can get...math math math...." I just love you, James 🤣❤️ omg I just saw that Peach Slices are fragrance free, Ulta here I come.

[@arinemiko]

Ooooh. These are juicy “dupes” thanks for sharing!! I was going to wait for the Sephora sale to pick up the plum plump moisturizer, but I’ll have to try the Versed one first 😊

[@sheryl4662]

I would love to hear more about Peach Slices (not that I need more products). Very happy to hear about the Glow Recipe dupe -- I am crazy for GR products and I love how the plum plump moisturizer feels going on my skin -- but it always finishes tacky for some reason, even when I use it sparingly. Happy to hear about a dupe with the same feel.

[@orryb]

Everything in Peach Slices' Snail Mucin collection is amazing! It's not quite as thick as CosRx but it's a great lightweight alternative

[@msnkuli]

Yay to the peach slices exfoliating toner 😘

[@meganlouise4185]

Thank you for all the cheaper recommendations, much better for my budget 😂 could you please review the new Aveeno calm and restore range?

[@laurenbarker6320]

I have my son with KP use the peach slices salicylic acid toner. I use there cleanser and face lotion in the summer time for my oily skin. The line is amazing

[@adafihj6439]

This comes at the right time as I'm looking to expand my basic routine that in working with right now

[@friedrice4015]

I love the peach slices snail mucin line- was a lifesaver for keeping my skin moisturized but not greasy when I was on accutane, and I continue to use it when my skin is feeling a little tight.

[@amberbrawner1018]

I use the Peach Slices zit patches or whatever they’re called. I love the micro-dart one. Both kinds are a MUST for me as I have that hormonal acne so they just pop up whenever they feel like it. Takes care of those zits with a head and those that are too sore to show up yet. They don’t come off at night (I’m a toss and turn sleeper so I put them to the test!!) and they stay on under moisturizer. I don’t wear makeup much but they say you can put foundation on top of them.

[@monicamcdonald5474]

I'm so happy that you are back to doing the kind of videos that made me fall in love with you 2 years ago. My complexion and me love you, my wallet not so much. But that's okay, you're worth it!

I’m obsessed! Since you try so many different brands and different textures of skincare this is like exactly the video we all want!!!!! Please do more of these!

[@andrewrichards159]

I LOVE peach slices! I've been using a few of their products for while. Their oil free acne moisturizer is soooo nice. Only 0.5% salicylic so fine for daily use and it's sooooo hydrating. Not a very shiny finish but not matte

[@glamoroustreasure]

Thanks for sharing the alternatives. Is peach slices available in the UK?

[@FreyaWalker]

Literally cost of living vs my skin rn 😭😬 thanks James x

[@fayekalan]

Welsh your right in most products whether it's expensive or affordable; the molecular structure of the cream needs to be small enough to penetrate the skin, for it to be effective

[@angieferreris7886]

Would you be able to do an updated version of selections of cleansers? Love your videos and your honest reviews of a very saturated market

[@santa1563]

I *love* the peach slices snail rescue line. the toner is really hydrating and the moisturizer leaves my skin feeling so dewy and plump 🥰🥰🥰

Okay but does anyone know where to get the peach slices toner in the UK? I can’t find it anywhere

[@marylovestein2994]

this is something i needed so much! as always james, you read our minds ❣❣

[@TsubataLately]

Gel creams are my strong preference as well. I like them because for my normal skin, they're usually moisturizing enough to carry me through the winter as well as being lightweight enough for the summer.

I love this! Definitely looking for a Paula’s Choice alternative. 💖

[@chaos_kitt3n.mayhem]

I'd love to hear your opinion on different ponds products. There is one foaming cleanser that has so many good ingredients in it like latic acid, muriatic acid and salicylic acid along with glycerin. They have a complexion perfector beauty cream that works well but has so much fragrance.

[@SpicyCat84]

Thanx for the alternative video🥰 defiantly saving this video on my need to try list

[@kortniefrohlich6611]

I've been looking into good acne products for my pregnancy acne so I'm very happy to see some affordable options. I had hear the Ordinary's Azelaic Solution was a good option but for half the price I'll try the Peach Slices version!

Your voice is soo soothing,been sleeping with your videos in the backround :)

[@franciscolodix1214]

Sadly I don't know where to get the Peach Slices BHA toner in Europe :(

[@cynthiabates965]

I like to watch the newest videos on your channel while doing my nighttime skin routine, and I was LITERALLY putting on Peach Slices Azeliac Acid Serum on my face when I heard you start talking about it. I saw the product last time I was in Ulta, along with the Peach Slices Redness Relief Calming Cream and decided to give them a shot since I had heard you talk about Azeliac Acid as being a good thing for rosacea-prone skin. So far I really like both products. I'll probably have to switch to a heavier moisturizer, though, when the weather starts cooling down because the moisturizer is much lighter than my normal nighttime moisturizer.

[@hannahdouglass7991]

I would love a video on skincare for rosacea. Mine is pretty severe and nothing I try seems to make much of a difference.

[@jaimeann7346]

Peach slices snail 🐌 mask is great also for calming skin especially with acne 💯. Thank you for the review on azelaic acid. Im trying that next after I use up he Mario Badescu clarifying serum. Which is good too 👍🏻

[@chamorrojen1905]

I like the peach slices bha cleanser and have been curious about their azalaic acid serum bc its still newish. Seems like a great brand. Thanks for the video and review! ❤

Thank you for the effort to share budget versions! Unfortunately even they are pricey here in Sweden. The Peach slices cleanser cost 449kr which is around 40$. I love your videos but is hard to find the products.

Thank you for sharing these alternatives. If you'd like to make another episode like this, please suggest the dupe for I'm From Mugwort essence and I'm From Fig essence. I know you've raved over them too and I've been enjoying the mugwort essence, but the price could hurt my pocket. I even still mull over whether it's worth to buy the Fig essence

[@KingsofLeon2112]

Peach Slices snail rescue blemish busting toner and snail rescue all in one oil free moisturizer are so good! I'd buy both of them again and has gotten me more interested in trying the other products.

A review of peach slices would be wonderful, since I also have rosacea and sensitive skin!

[@FailedOrbits]

Regarding the Paula's choice BHA, some friends gifted me with what seems a very similar product from skin first, I think it is an Italian brand? Did not test it yet tho. Just a hopefully useful info 😬

[@itsmeonara]

You're not the only one who didn't know about the acne exfoliating toner from Peach Slices, I also only know about the brand and this product through your ig story, so yup I was in the same mood as yours 😤😭

[@malikagirl]

I think I will pick up the peach slices azelaic acid add on. The only other product I have from them is the snail rescue blemish toner, and it feels really nice on the skin.

[@samanthamorales-carroll4037]

I purchased the peach slices bha and love it.

[@jojomarch]

I loved this! I'm about to order the GR plum cream but I also love Uriage water sleeping pack (it's on offer st Superdrug for £11). It's more of a gel but so plumping! Really want to try some Peach Slices stuff

[@JamesWelsh]

Ohhh you’ll love the plum plump cream!!

[@JJvisit]

I use Superdrug Deep Action Cleansing lotion as a substitute for the Paula's Choice BHA. It has the same 'slightly thicker than water' texture as the PC and the same 2% salicylic acid strength. Whilst it doesn't contain the same soothing ingredients in (hence the much cheaper price point of £3.99 for 200ml), it really is very similar in texture and results. In fact I prefer it:) xXx

[@strawberrry1997]

Thank you!!! I can’t justify the price for PC so will give this a go :)

[@glamoroustreasure]

Wow Thank you x

The peach slices snail rescue mask is amazing! It’s one of my most favorite masks I’ve tried. I have combination/dry skin that is more on the sensitive side and I feel like it’s a really good all around mask for me. I notice afterwards how hydrated I feel and I feel like it has helped me with my acne scars a bit. Highly recommend :)

[@xxmiranda01xx]

FaceTheorie also had a really good azaleac acid. 10%. Cheaper then the paula’s choice. Love that one.

[@ConnorAdventure]

Ooh what a great video idea, can't wait to watch it! 🥰🖤

[@puccapopular10]

Im sure youll love Peach Slices. My favorite brand. I love every single product from them and better than the most popular products. Ie the aforementioned Acne toner over PC BHA toner, Snail Rescue Toner over Cosrx Snail Essence and so happy that you love Peach Slices azelaic acid over PC. I love PC but always love a cheaper dupe, especially as PC is increasing their prices over time. Cant wait to try Peach Slices Azelaic acid one.
