It is said that you have at least one person in the world who can be considered your doppelgänger. The same applies for your skincare products. For every high-end product, there’s most likely an exact or similar product selling at an affordable price. Here are affordable dupes for high end skincare products!
Moisturizer
High-End
Price: $68 USD
Size: 1.7 Oz | 50 mL
What it is: The Tatcha Water Cream is a luxurious water based moisturizer that Fel and Ro love. Once scooped out of the container, the product has the texture of a thick gel-like cream. When massaged into the face, Fel and Ro describes the product “bursting”. The texture turns from cream to water, while the burst of hydration leaves the skin feeling silky smooth and supple.

First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream
Price: $34 USD
Size: 1.7 Oz | 50 mL
What it is: It’s an oil-free light water cream that’s infused with coconut water. The cream also gives the skin a burst of moisture as you massage into the skin. Its silky pearly texture also delivers a similar gel-to-water consistency as Tatcha’s Water cream. For Rowena, she finds the coconut water cream slightly more lightweight, very quick absorbing, and not as hydrating as the Water Cream.
Recommended: For oily or oily-combo skin types; great for dry, humid summers.

Make P:rem Hydrate Me Micro Tension Cream
Price: $27 USD
Size: 2.2 Oz | 65mL
What it is: It is a gel cream moisturizer that’s infused with botanical oils. The cream’s texture is a lot thicker and richer than Tatcha’s Water Cream. Therefore, it takes a bit of effort for the moisturizer to sink into the skin. According to Rowena, the Make P:rem Tension Cream is her favorite because it deeply nourishes her dry skin.
Recommended: For dry or dehydrated skin; great for winters
Additional note: The product smells earthy and herbal due to the botanical oils in the formula.
