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.”

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].”

“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.
