TikToker Talia Heskett (@TraderJoesTalia) breaks down the must-have dupes from your local Trader Joe's, starting strong with an alternative to a pricey Clinique moisturizer.

"For only $8.99 you can pick up the Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer—and that compares to the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense at $64," she reveals in a July 14 TikTok.

They're even the same size (2.5 fl. oz.), meaning you're really getting more bang for your buck. Who doesn't want to save $55 where they can these days?
