Neutrogena’s hypoallergenic foaming wash is great for sensitive and oily skin, working to combat acne by penetrating deep into the pores. Typically, you can find the orange-hued cleanser for $11.59 at Target, but there’s a dupe at Dollar Tree for just $1.25.

“This is comparable to the Neutrogena acne face wash,” said TikToker @YourTikTokSister while showcasing her latest skincare dupe find: the Kissable’s Acne Wash Oil-Free Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment.

2. Dupe for Olay’s Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Cream Cleanser

With one cleanse, Olay’s collagen cream cleanser “removes dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities,” so your face is ready to “absorb the ingredients in your facial treatments and moisturizers,” the brand says. The cleanser is a skincare favorite among customers, but so is B Pure’s version.

At Dollar Tree, shoppers are stocking up on B Pure’s Essentially Ageless Collagen Gentle Cream Cleanser for just $1.25—that’s $7 cheaper than Olay’s product.

“The Olay dupes are awesome,” a TikToker commented in response to @YourTikTokSider’s video.

Another added, “They’re so good! I hope [Dollar Tree] doesn’t catch on and raise the price.”

3. Dupe for Native Body Wash

Native is renowned for its non-toxic products, especially its line of curated body washes. Those typically go for $10 per bottle, but you could buy eight dupes for the price of one Native body wash at Dollar Tree.


“If you’re hooked to Target, they sell the Native care line. This is a total dupe for that,” TikToker Melissa Houser (@mhouser12) said of Personal Care’s Sea Salt & Cedar Body Wash. “This is a new scent they just got in, and they have jelly bean and peach ring [scents].”

4. Dupe for The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner and Multi-Peptide + HA Serum

The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner retails for $13, while its Multi-Peptide + HA Serum goes for $19.90. However, Dollar Tree has similar versions for just $1.25 a piece.

“You have got to be kidding me, they have two new serums from Skin Nutrition,” raved TikToker Alexx Schmutz (@alexx_schmutz). “This is giving The Ordinary dupe, it’s glycolic acid and this is a multi-peptide aging serum. Literally shook!”

“I finally found the serums too I was so excited,” commented another shopper.

“I use the anti aging serum. I love it,” added someone else.

5. Dupe for Bubble’s Dry Skin Bundle

Bubble’s Dry Skin Bundle includes a gel cleanser, toner, and moisturizer with specific formulas for combating dry skin. It costs $39, but for $35.25 less, Dollar Tree shoppers are buying a dupe set from the skincare brand Global Beauty Care.

“They have a new skincare line from Global Beauty Care, and this is definitely a dupe for Bubble. There’s a toner mist, daily face wash, and makeup wipes,” @meredithstearsricochet shared on TikTok.

6. Dupe for Sol de Janeiro

One of the trendiest brands at the moment is Sol de Janeiro, but its price point makes it a bit of a splurge for some shoppers. That’s where Dollar Tree comes in.

“I finally got my hands on the Brazilian Mist. This stuff really smells like Sol de Janeiro, like for sure. I got three of these,” @jadeenlish29 said in her recent Dollar Tree haul video.

She’s referencing Sol de Janeiro’s iconic Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist, which is priced at $38 online. Meanwhile, at Dollar Tree, you can get a dupe from the brand Power Stick for just over a buck!

10 Low-Carb Foods Sabotaging Your Weight Loss, Says New Research

10 Low-Carb Foods Sabotaging Your Weight Loss, Says New Research

Ever since the late 90s, low-carb diets—those that drastically limit the number of carbohydrates one consumes—have been at the forefront of the weight-loss industry. Though the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calorie intake, a low-carb diet usually means eating 100 grams or less of carbohydrates per day.The theory goes that by pushing your body into a state of ketosis, a metabolic state in which you burn fat instead of glucose, you'll drop more pounds. To enter such a state, people who follow low-carb diets will typically forego added sugars, grains, refined carbohydrates such as those found in cookies or crackers, fruit, some vegetables, and more.

However, a 2023 meta-analysis published in JAMA Network Open has found that not all low-carb foods are created equally when it comes to weight loss. Those researchers reviewed data from three large prospective cohort studies that included over 123,000 subjects and determined that low-carb diets that focused on high-quality macronutrients from healthy plant-based foods were associated with less weight gain. Meanwhile, low-carb diets centered on animal-sourced proteins, fats, or refined carbohydrates were associated with more weight gain.

7 Best Fruits for Weight Loss

If you’re looking to lose weight, diet and exercise absolutely go hand in hand. However, experts say the choices you make at the dinner table far outweigh the choices you make at the gym. That’s why, to move the needle on the scale, you should regularly opt for nutritionally dense, low-calorie foods that fill you up with their high fiber content—which is why we consulted experts about the best fruits for weight loss.

“Losing weight doesn't necessarily mean that you have to eat less food,” says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “You can create lower-calorie versions of some of your favorite dishes by substituting low-calorie fruits and vegetables in place of higher-calorie ingredients.”
