Skincare Dupes
1. La Mer The Cleansing Micellar Water Vs. Bioderma Sensibio H2O
La Mer’s gentle giant of a micellar water is known for its ability to micro-manage dirt and clogged pores for a macro clean. La Mer micellar cleansing water costs 440 Dirhams.
When it comes to saving some cash, ‘H2O’ from Bioderma is the right way to go. This solution is my go-to for ‘washing the day away’ from my face before bed every night. It removes makeup softly, yet efficiently, even waterproof mascara, & it goes great along with excess oil & it is especially great for those with sensitive skin. Bioderma costs 110 Dirhams.
2. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vs. La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C Face Serum
It’s a rarity to discuss anti-aging with a skincare expert and not have this potent solution from SkinCeuticals come up. Skinceuticals C E Ferulic has a cult following for good reason—it’s a powerful anti-aging serum chock full of skin protective ingredients like vitamin C and ferulic acid. This costs 673 Dirhams. While La Roche-Posay’s serum also contains a powerful 10 percent pure vitamin C (the purity matters!). Apply it every morning before sunscreen to protect against aging and treat hyperpigmentation. Whereas this costs 146 Dirhams.
3. Fresh Brown Sugar Body Scrub Vs. Tree Hut Brown Sugar Shea Body Scrub
Fresh gourmand scrub has become an essential shower staple for removing the dead cells and leaving your skin soft like a baby's bum. It costs 282 Dirhams. If you want to save on some cash, there is a budget-friendly alternative, yet still sensory buff, scoop up this tub from Tree Hut Brown Sugar Scrub. It also has nourishing shea butter and natural oils (such as sweet almond and avocado) for an added moisture boost. This costs 63 Dirhams.
4. Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream Vs. La Mer The Eye Concentrate
One of the main ingredients in these rejuvenating eye creams is the seaweed (which is anti-inflammatory), and has hyaluronic acid. The La Mer Eye Cream also features iron-rich mineral that will even out the under eye circles and repair the damaged skin. So, if your under-eyes are already in good shape stick with the dupe to maintain supple skin, but if do not mind on splurging the La Mer costs 863 Dirhams & Mario Badescu costs 70 Dirhams.
