*NEW* Dupes Of Expensive Skincare Products At Walgreens

[@chrisr9764]

The prices of the dupes makes me believe that most beauty companies are charging us way too much.

[@dollypop2022]

They charge for branding, ads, influencer promotions, etc

[@Myrrkat]

Based on ingredients alone, definitely. In some cases the cost could be partially explained by the R&D that goes into formulation - you don't simply just slap ingredients together and end up with an effective, stable product with a nice user experience. Duping brands have a guideline from the ingredients list to work off, so they save R&D time because they aren't starting from zero. The Ordinary can be cheap because the ingredients aren't that expensive - and their ethos (at least in the beginning) was to give stripped back formulas focusing on a star ingredient. And we could see how this led to some product not having the best user experience - pilling when used with other products, sticky residue, etc. They didn't spend so much time refining the formulations. Many people are happy to deal with these issues due to the low price, but other people would prefer to pay more to get a product with more cosmetic elegance. But some companies are definitely phoning it in and increasing the price because they can.

[@lifewitholga_]

I think the OG brands tend (not always) to have higher percentage of the active ingredients so less goes a longer way

[@aramos1557]

Just got a 1.7 oz bottle of Estée Lauder Night Repair serum at Marshall’s for $12. (clearance). So yeah.

[@rmgqwzxiytfj]

Just because some ingredients are the same, does not mean they are of the same quality. The best example I can think of is basic white petrolatum: store brands (Equate, CVS, Dollar Tree, etc.) are inferior to the higher quality of Vaseline.

[@sheridancelmer7082]

It’s nice to have readily available dupes at Walgreens. Thx for this video

[@DrDrayzday]

You are so welcome!

[@bodyjewels]

@@sheridancelmer7082 I can't find any. And the ones I did find dupes were,,,,$$$$

[@Honey_Vee79]

These dupes are really stepping it up. I got a Walmart dupe of Cerave retinol and ended up liking it better than the original one.

[@roselilly2086]

Doctor you are such a blessing in millions of people’s lives . trust me whenever i try to buy something just search ur videos if u talked about that thank you so much ❤

[@melissavidic2895]

I am on team no fragrance and you’re right It is a challenge at times to find fragrance free products but I believe they’re getting better at it. More brands I’ve noticed are not adding fragrance to their skincare.

[@lisathome2000]

I just want to point out that Sunflowers are a very close cousin to Ragweed and the oil may cause a cross reaction, if you have a ragweed allergy.

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Thank you! Not getting it ever! My allergies are crazy and have gotten worse in the last 5 yrs from pollution!😊

[@user-zk8ed4kd2b]

Whatever Doc Dray used last night and this morning has given her a nice facial glow and a plumper look on her cheeks. Does anyone else notice this today?

[@MsTammi125]

Of course she's beautiful ❤

[@hopeacres5365]

I tried the Walgreens lip sleep mask and Paulas choice dupe you recommended, and they are both FABULOUS! I like the lip mask even better than laniege and it gives you loads of product. Much more moisturizing too. Thanks Dr. Dray!

[@lacexv]

Thanks for sharing i'm gonna try the paula's choice dupe! I hope it works for me

[@Jackieb1989]

Whats the name of the paula choice dupe ? Thanks

[@hopeacres5365]

@Jackieb1989 it's the "2% BHA liquid exfoliant" in the gray bottle. That's walgreens dupe for Paula's Choice BHA!

[@TennisObsessed]

I'm happy to see Walgreens giving customers more options. I'll have to see what my local store has.

[@Cmp-2012]

Doc your channel has helped spread the word about the value of fragrance free skincare. It's not nearly as difficult to find FF skincare as it was even 4 or 5 yrs ago ❤

[@lindapatrick2676]

Navy blue is a great color on you!. Thanks for info!

[@meggieprice]

Friday at last!! We love our dupes! 💜💜💜

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Friday!

[@christinamoller4342]

I watched another person try some of these products. She didn’t like a number of them, including the lip mask, and said a lot of them are not bad products but they aren’t dupes. I’m curious about the Kiels moisturizer dupe-it’s pleasant to use, but it’s expensive for a simple moisturizer.

[@NatalieG427]

I’m 61 & love the Neutrogena Hydrating Lip Sleeping Mask in a tube. I found that at Walmart in the cosmetics section.😉

[@misty4483]

Thank you for taking us along. Fun Friday shopping!

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Friday!

[@cat99manchor32]

Thank you for showing us what is at Walgreens. I never go there, but now I will, to buy the dupe BumBum cream ( which is too expensive now for me to continue buying).

[@FreezeeGirl]

I love the Walgreens supergoop unseen sunscreen dupe.

[@kaylarickford9562]

This stuff is fantastic! ❤

[@mribaby]

Ohhhhh… is it easy to recognize this dupe in store?

[@jiggygirl5]

@@mribabyTrader Joe’s daily sunscreen is a great dupe of it. I don’t know if that is the dupe this commenter’s post is referring to, but I have tried That and the expensive Super Goop and they are the same. It’s under $10!

[@Panya.V]

Yes, it looks very similar, that's what caught my eye in my store. I've never tried the Supergoop version, but the Walgreens version is SO *HIGHLY* FRAGRANCED that just applying a drop to the back of my hand [as a patch test] made my eyes water, and it was impossible to wash off! I spent at least five minutes using every cleanser in my home - including dish soap - trying to remove the scent from my hand. It was horrible.

[@OneTrueWord1988]

I've been using the $Tree Niacinamide serum and really like it! My skin feels so smooth and soft; just great! ❤💐❤️

[@TheDenisec]

I would love to see the cabinet where you keep all your skin care!!! I bet it is awesome!!!

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Thankx for going over these dupes. I would never tryed them if not for you!😊

[@MusicaErika]

Dr. Dray how did you got rid off hyperpigmentation and Melasma could you please share your routine?

[@lacexv]

I love walgreens products I definitely need to try these out! I didn't know they had such a wide selection.

[@susanb.5806]

It's been awhile since I've been to Walgreen. This makes me want to make a short trip.😊

[@debgilbert3206]

Thank you Dr. Dray for making me aware of some dupes to try. I may pick up the lip mask and the body cream.

[@zenxymes2]

I'll be picking these up. How exciting!

[@roserai60]

I love Laneige lip sleeping mask more than anything. It works great for my dry lips and it even repairs my lips pretty well.

[@marylawman8603]

I always like a good dupe. Thanks for the heads up about these Walgreens ones. Happy Friday, Dr Dray! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a wonderful weekend! 💗

[@margieryne6220]

[@tonyj4271]

Thanks for this video and happy Friday guys

[@DrDrayzday]

[@jcav422]

What’s wild to me is that these dupes are cheaper than the store brand of most drugstore skincare lines like CeraVe etc

[@Jod3lay]

Dr Dray, may I say you look very good today! ☀️💕

[@SarahBeth9811]

Definitely going to try the bha liquid exfoliant! Thanks!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for watching

[@Lisatwade]

I think the hype with glow recipe is simply it’s packaging

[@kereti71]

the ordinary's new face and body niacinamide serum of 5 % is the only niacinamide product doesn't irritate my skin. Great formulation

[@coffee_2234]

One thing that baffled me is why they duping ordinary they were already cheap as is

[@DrDrayzday]

exactly

[@vanessajirona]

@@coffee_2234 maybe for convenience? for example walgreens is everywhere and there might be multiple walgreens in a city like a starbucks, but the ordinary is harder to find in stores

[@delilahdelaney]

Walgreens is more accessible for me than Ulta so I want to try the imitation AA.

[@sovrappensiero1]

Yes to more dose-response curves for niacinamide! I strongly suspect its inclusion at high percentages is driving a lot of the sensitization people are experiencing.

[@Mamaisawake]

It’s going up!

[@thanosfield2642]

They definitely worth a try since the price point is so reasonable 😊❤. Niacinamide is great and underrated but if it is not tolerated by others it's ok there're other alternatives 😊 to it. Thanks Doctor Andrea for reviewing them for us 😊❤ have a great day.

[@vanessajirona]

Happy Friyay! Lots of dupes, the only one I have used is the hypochlorous spray

[@DrDrayzday]

I was wondering if you would make a video on the effects of progesterone on skin. I've been on progesterone for a couple of months and the oil production is out of control.

Happy Friday Dr Dray so excited to be here i live for this ❤️

[@DrDrayzday]

Morning!

[@juliewright5139]

Thanks Dr. Dray. Always love dupes. I tried Walgreens dupe for Panoxils benzoyl peroxide. I had to throw it away as the smell/ fragrance was terrible. I will stick with Panoxil.

[@lesliehankins3916]

Really? I love it.

[@user-hx7mi7ml8u]

You can return Walgreen’s products if you don’t like them. I used to work there, just show your receipt or they can look it by your phone number if you entered it. No need to lose money by tossing the product.

[@Panya.V]

I do prefer the PanOxyl to the dupe [simply because of the texture], but yeah, you should've just returned it.

[@hannahhammons3345]

I don't like the Laneige lip mask either and I always felt I was the only one!

[@headcaptainyamamoto7015]

There's a Hydro Boost Water Gel dupe by Equate to for $12 but it's terrible, it's got fragrance and it started burning my entire face as soon as i was aplying it, threw down the drain that same night but kept the jar to recycle

[@21972012145525]

Should've used it on your legs. Hydro boost fragrance free is the one without scent. Normal hydro boost does contain fragrance

[@Empresselizabeth1800]

I had the same reaction to the equate water gel 😓

[@lynndupree1205]

Can't wait to get my hands on the Supergoop sunscreen dupe! I love the original but it's so ex$pensive! I might also try the vitamin C serum. 💙

[@lu_re7198]

Laneige lip products are super dehydrating on me too! 👄 Prefer Coppertone SPF 50 lip balm and Vaseline lip therapy at night.

[@sarahcarnithan6771]

I started using Revolution products. (They were right next to the walgreens serums at the beginning) I'm trying their vitamin c every morning. I'm trying their glycolic acid toner on my non-tretenoin nights and then their hyaluronic acid serum also on my non-tret nights. I do use walgreens version of cerave's night cream on my tret nights. Yes I have uber sensitive skin so after over a year I still only use my tret on Mon.Wed. and Fri. And I've had to work up to using the glycolic acid to slowly.

[@ChawlaR24]

I swear by the Laneige lip mask. I’ve probably gone through 10 containers of it. I really don’t think the fragrance is strong either. I recommend this to everyone. I always look forward to using it.

[@ChawlaR24]

I also think the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has a subtle scent. I thought I was sensitive to smell 😅

[@Empresselizabeth1800]

It’s amazing! This Walgreens dupe is not unfortunately 😢 isn’t similar at all to me really

[@ChawlaR24]

@@Empresselizabeth1800 I haven’t tried the dupe. I find dupes of products just aren’t as good. I’m very weary of them lol

Amen on the Laneige lip mask! I love the neutrogena lip mask you recommended a while back, so thank you!

[@PAMELAPORTER-ci7mr]

Thanks much, Doctor, as I'm always curious about dupes.

[@samanthamorales-carroll4037]

I tried the real glow recipe products, and they are subpar at best. I think it's for younger, flawless skin.

I was hoping that they would have the Glow Recipe Dew Drops. But I don't see it online yet, so it must be on its way. I saw James Welsh mentioned it.

The Lanaige and Sigma lip masks are my least favorite lip masks. NuLips RX, nurse jamie, is my must have. It lasts forever and no scent. ❤ Hapoy weekend

[@larisaterd892]

I’ve been using the Walgreens brand of azaleic acid, only been using a month so haven’t noticed a difference as of yet, if anything my skin is slightly less red

[@luisacerrato331]

Walmart also has a dupe for the Bum Bum cream.

[@luna0292]

Laneige sleep mask is just another gimmick. I received a small jar with a purchase, I used a few nights and tossed away.

[@NoMarkledZone]

I just ordered the BHA exfoliant & Glycolic cleanser!!

[@mariah12809]

Walgreens might save themselves from their otherwise high prices with these dupes. I've tried their Paula's Choice and Supergoop dupes and have been happy with them. Oh. Also, their adapalene gel is a great value compared to Differin.

[@Majorjabroni]

I wanted to try the niacinamide serum! Walgreens is on their game lately

I bought and tried the Kiehl’s one. It has less squalane the original and definitely feels a lot less moisturizing too. I had to put two layers on and my skin still felt dry.

Could you please explain STABLE vitamin c? In 2016 I was working for Clinique and they launched a stable vitamin c serum that you break open and every day there is a powder pack that you mix with it and apply to your face. That vitamin c serum is only stable for a few days. How is that different than other vitamin c? I really want to understand. Clinique also has the .0 line that has no alcohol in it. Doesn’t that just make everything dry faster? Now that I don’t work there anymore, I really want to understand better. Thank you!

Also not washing my face in the mornings, just rinsing with water, temporarily until I got my skin under control.

Not on the subject, but I am combining organic Castor oil with Jojoba oil and some drops of Frankincense for my face after cleansing. Is this as good as other skincare?

[@db-gb5xi]

I'd check Dr Dray's videos on castor oil and jojoba oil. They are emollients which soften and smooth the skin. Some derms will say to use a couple drops as last step in evening skincare but not all do.

A few weeks ago, I was in San Francisco and noticed that all the cosmetics and skincare products were locked up in display cases, and some shelves were empty. Being a non-American, I had seen Dr. Dray’s videos visiting CVS and Walgreens to check out skincare items, so I expected a similar shopping experience. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

Not typical. I've been to Walgreens in different states and products were not locked up in cases and shelves were fully stocked. California is not indicative of many American states :)
