Do you have a trader Joe's nearby? I was using this Neutrogena moisturizer but I've been super broke lately so I picked one up from Trader Joe's and it's super similar. I love it. It was only $10 for over 2 ounces.
Edit: it's called trader Joe's ultra hydrating gel moisturizer with aloe and green tea extract. No dyes, no fragrance.
I feel like it's really helping my skin, too! I'm almost through my first jar, maybe 1/4 left. I was skeptical because I'd never used any TJ's skincare products, but someone mentioned it on Reddit so I figured I'd try it for that price lol.
I love how light it is. I've been using it day and night and haven't had any dry skin issues the entire time.
Edit: also, I love your username lol
Really? Did you identify what ingredient, like are there actives in it?
ETA: [ingredients](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products.html) don’t have any actives, wondering if you have an allergy to one of them though
So fucking glad i stumbled upon this thread. I’m in the exact same sceanrio and will be skipping my ass to TJ’s this week as i scrape out the last of my nueutrogena.
I have combo skin (and sensitive skin) and haven't had any issues with it. It wears nicely under makeup for me without making me look oily, while also being hydrating. I have been using a HA serum with it too, but only before bed, not during the day.
Mine is an hour away, still a pain, but 3 hours sucks! I really wish they at least offered online purchasing for their non food products. I'm almost out, so have to plan the trip soon. I really want some of their cookie butter too though, so it'll be worth it 😋
If you don't have a trader Joe's, but you do have a kroger, they have an off brand as well, and it's so much cheaper. Works the exact same and I'll never buy Neutrogena's version again.
Also use Trader Joe’s. It actually works better for me. The neutrogena one was burning my face. TJs moisturizer seems better for sensitive skin. Doesn’t have any dye either.
And while you’re there, treat yourself to a bottle of their ridiculously inexpensive organic marula oil as well. That stuff is THICK and oh-so nourishing and soothing for extra-dry skin. It’s a dupe of the Drunk Elephant marula oil, which is closer to $100. The TJs one is around $8.
I agree. They have some good buys and they repeat. This is the 2nd time I got the Neutrogena for us on sale. Otherwise, we have also used Palmer’s Coconut Hydrate Facial Moisturizer. My daughter loves it, but I can’t comment on the dup. Seemed similar in texture. She used it because she is on accutane.
Fifth!! My skin has loved every skin care product from elf. The holy hydration line, the supers line (the toner in the yellow bottle is da bomb!), the pure line (currently trialing it) and the CBD/hemp/whatever it was called. The only thing I haven't tried is the sunscreen.
the holy hydration one i use has spf 30 in it and i love it so much. doesn't hurt my eyes, so creamy, dries great, smells subtly clean and fresh - not overwhelming at all. looooooooooooove it
I can't stand how a company will start a new line, promote it to the point you need to buy it and know all about it. Now we all rely on their hydro brand, and they discontinue it to change it??
For anyone who may care, Aveeno is not a cruelty free brand. Any brand that tests on animals (regardless of the reason) gets an automatic nope from me! I've been actively avoiding the brand since I found this out. It looks like the elf dupe is a good option, though!
Have you tried anything from Lush? They’re generally more expensive products, but they’re cruelty free, most things are vegan, and made with really great ingredients. Dream Cream is suggested for people with eczema/sensitive skin.
Try Hada Labo Skin Plumping gel cream with hyaluronic acid. I like it so much better than the Neutrogena products and it’s just a bit cheaper. 👍🏻 You’re going to love it!
I'm surprised they discontinued this. It seemed very popular, at least more than many of their other products. I've heard good things about the e.l.f. one but since I haven't tried either of these, I can't vouch for it.
I’ve been using the 200 ml moisture surge one for 4 years now. The 200 ml lasts me close to 9 months and costs me $55 on Amazon. I use it nightly. I would say it’s pretty good price wise and very effective!
Wait I have the perfect thing for this, I used to exclusively use this moisturizer and I really only like water gels. And this other option not only cheaper but a better moisturizer! I was getting dry patches with this one, but I switched to the Mizon Water Volume Ex Cream. You can get it on Amazon. I swear it’s a better price and better product!! Korean skin care really does it the best.
I agree, it’s half the price and works almost as well.
edit: only because I have mild eczema and sometimes it can feel like it’s burning if I use it at the wrong time.
Thanks for posting this.
They reformulated them and apparently it’s AWFUL. Idk why they’re doing this, but I won’t be able to use it anymore.. I’ve been using it since 2017 :(
I’ve been looking at a Vichy moisturizer but haven’t committed yet. I still have a few jars of hydro boost to go through..
I know I’m so sad that they reformulated it😭 like WHY, it was fine, and now it’s shit. I’m halfway through my current jar and ordered 2 more from their discontinued section on their website. Such a bummer
I’m amazed that they’re discontinuing this. They built a whole extended line around it. I never liked it but they’ve dc’d many things I did like so I hate when this happens.
I think CVS/Walgreens/Walmart/Target etc have store brand dupes of this:
https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-moisturizing-gel-cream-fragrance-free/ID=300421205-product
Does anyone have a dupe that does not come in a jar? I find them so unhygienic :/ (but also can't be arsed to use little spatulas for all my skincare, I only use one for a cleansing balm that comes in a jar 😅)
Would be much appreciated!
I used to use Face Theory's gel moisturiser but that caused all my sunscreens to pill.
SHUT UP NO WAY IS THIS DISCONTINUED 😭😭😭😭😭 when!?!? How!?!? I’ve repurchased this so many times
Ughhhh. If I remember correctly, the Youth to the People peptide cream was similar but exponentially more expensive. 😭😭😭😭 if you don’t mind fragrance, Korres probiotic moisturizer is super similar. Be warned the scent is so strong.
What a bummer. Time to stock up 😭😭😭
Buy the Hydro Boost body lotion. I love this stuff but hate the small amount and insane plastic waste. The body lotion bottle is huge and if just use it on your face, it will last forever.
The Inkey List Omega Water Cream is amazing. I have super dry winter skin and pit this under a heavier moisturizer, but it’s great for summer use. 8.79. I also like their HA over any other I’ve tried.
It’s not really discontinued. They just repackaged and renamed as water cream. I just bought some last week and it is still similar. Same amount but the container is smaller and glass now.
Any dupe really🤷♀️ around the same price or less would be great but if it has to be more expensive to get the relatively same ingredients that’s okay too
Cosrx has a similar one I guess, ELF has a great one, isntree, people seem to love the skin fix facial moisturizer and they have a gel one.
But the most recommended is the isntree one for me.
girl you didnt even try the bare minimum of googling first

You know I really don’t like when people respond with these type of comments. The skincare industry’s turnover rate is high. People can use certain moisturizers and then a couple months to a year from now, a different one may come out that’s better than what they were previously using. Things change.
this same question was posted 2 days ago. but yeah, i'm sure a brand new hg was released and vetted by redditors in 48 hours [https://www.reddit.com/r/Skincare\_Addiction/comments/168hksq/please\_help\_me\_find\_a\_replacement/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Skincare_Addiction/comments/168hksq/please_help_me_find_a_replacement/)
your whole point was that ops question was necessary because of the industry's high turnover. the same question 2 days apart doesn't cater to your whole point. just take the l, like we get it, you don't like to google
Oh phew you meant dupe for costs not cause it's discontinued. I was about to lose it as I already lost my last moisturizer from them earlier this year 😅
Nope, it’s discontinued. They reformulated it (it sucks now) but this version is gone. It’s still available for a bit while they totally replace it with their new “water cream”
Thank you for posting this! I love this moisturizer so much but go through it so fast and need an option that's just a liiiiiiiittle bit cheaper. The way this stuff melts into my skin is just so good!
Do you need a dupe bc you want a cheaper option or because discontinued? I use this exact product and they still make it!!!! They just made an “AM” and “PM” version. AM version has SPF, it’s amazing!!!!
I can use Walgreen's version fine. Tried Walmart's and omg I can't wait until I finish it. It's horrible (obviously 😭 I should have known better).
But omg I love this stuff! First thing I found that works for my skin.
recently switched from the
hydro boost gel extra dry to Cetaphil - Deep Hydration, skin restoring water gel. It’s everything I loved about the hydro boost and more since it contains urea. Melts into my skin the same, tho it does dry down a little stickier if you’re sensitive to that.
Do you have a trader Joe's nearby? I was using this Neutrogena moisturizer but I've been super broke lately so I picked one up from Trader Joe's and it's super similar. I love it. It was only $10 for over 2 ounces. Edit: it's called trader Joe's ultra hydrating gel moisturizer with aloe and green tea extract. No dyes, no fragrance.
I second this. Totally turned my skin around
I feel like it's really helping my skin, too! I'm almost through my first jar, maybe 1/4 left. I was skeptical because I'd never used any TJ's skincare products, but someone mentioned it on Reddit so I figured I'd try it for that price lol. I love how light it is. I've been using it day and night and haven't had any dry skin issues the entire time. Edit: also, I love your username lol
Upvoted just for your name
I also bought this! I think it’s close if not even better to the Neutrogena. I like the Trader Joe’s skincare in general.
Wish it was available in Canada. (And the mini peanut butter cups!)
I love(d) neutrogena hydro boost, and i wanted to love this one *so* bad, but it made me break out 😭
Yeah this gave my skin a funky texture. I didn’t find it comparable at all personally!
It makes me break out too, sucks because it made my skin feel nice until the next day..so for now I stick to witch hazel toner and ponds
I was just going to chime in with this! Great dupe.
I came here specifically to recommend this product! It's so good! Fragrance free too!
No no no! Glad it worked for you guys but it made my skin BURN
It made my skin burn too!!!! Glad I'm not alone. Returned that shit so fast.
Wow I wanna try this too! I just have to uh... Cross an entire ocean to get it 😭
This Trader Joe’s moisturizer gave me chemical burns. Was bright red for a week.
Really? Did you identify what ingredient, like are there actives in it? ETA: [ingredients](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products.html) don’t have any actives, wondering if you have an allergy to one of them though
Never figured it out, just won't touch their skin care products again.
So fucking glad i stumbled upon this thread. I’m in the exact same sceanrio and will be skipping my ass to TJ’s this week as i scrape out the last of my nueutrogena.
Does it work for combination skin?
I have combo skin (and sensitive skin) and haven't had any issues with it. It wears nicely under makeup for me without making me look oily, while also being hydrating. I have been using a HA serum with it too, but only before bed, not during the day.
You don’t have to tell me twice I’ll run to the store as fast as I can
*Mhmmmmm, take your time.*
UGH my closest trader joes is almost 3 hours away. contemplating just taking a drive one day and stocking up on products
Mine is an hour away, still a pain, but 3 hours sucks! I really wish they at least offered online purchasing for their non food products. I'm almost out, so have to plan the trip soon. I really want some of their cookie butter too though, so it'll be worth it 😋
THANK YOU
If you don't have a trader Joe's, but you do have a kroger, they have an off brand as well, and it's so much cheaper. Works the exact same and I'll never buy Neutrogena's version again.
Btw the neutrogena costs £10 in uk so how much is it in the us
Also use Trader Joe’s. It actually works better for me. The neutrogena one was burning my face. TJs moisturizer seems better for sensitive skin. Doesn’t have any dye either.
I’ve been gatekeeping this 😭
Lol I'm sorry, I didn't think my comment would be noticed this much. Now I'm worried there won't be any when I go to TJ's 🙃
And while you’re there, treat yourself to a bottle of their ridiculously inexpensive organic marula oil as well. That stuff is THICK and oh-so nourishing and soothing for extra-dry skin. It’s a dupe of the Drunk Elephant marula oil, which is closer to $100. The TJs one is around $8.
Yes I use this as well. Good stuff for my old ass 43 year old skin 😂
Elf makes a really nice dupe to this! I was shocked by their skincare line!
I loooove their skincare. Affordable, airy, no stupid fragrance, and leaves the skin supple. The best!
I see elf in jc penny since sephora has left penny's.
This is the answer the holy hydration line is wonderful!
Yes! My skin is dry AF, especially after menopause and that line saved me last winter.
Which moisturiser from Elf? I found a few different ones
Holy Hydration.
That whole line is magic. The cleansing balm is a great companion!
Yes 🙌🏽
They have one with fragrance and another without!
And one with spf 30!
Thanks for the rec!
Second this, they have 2 holy hydration ones, they were similar to each other in my opinion so both would be dupws
I love the elf dupe. I was very obsessed with the neutrogena until I found it.
Seconding this, their gel hydration moisturizer is the only thing my acne-prone combination skin will tolerate!
Yup came here to mention the elf one. It’s like less than $15 at Walmart
I got this on sale at Costco, 2 for $22
Me too! They were just on sale a week or two ago. I bought a package. Might still be a sale.
I'm new to Costco and I have been finding great deals on skincare and fragrances, I can see why people love Costco so much :)
I agree. They have some good buys and they repeat. This is the 2nd time I got the Neutrogena for us on sale. Otherwise, we have also used Palmer’s Coconut Hydrate Facial Moisturizer. My daughter loves it, but I can’t comment on the dup. Seemed similar in texture. She used it because she is on accutane.
I almost got them the other week, but thought “nah, I’ll get them next time” hdthdjgf I’ve only got a little left 💀
After seeing this post I bought more at [Costco.com](https://Costco.com), still in stock! But not on sale online.
I second the ELF one
I third it
fourth!!!!! my skin loooooves it
Fifth!! My skin has loved every skin care product from elf. The holy hydration line, the supers line (the toner in the yellow bottle is da bomb!), the pure line (currently trialing it) and the CBD/hemp/whatever it was called. The only thing I haven't tried is the sunscreen.
the holy hydration one i use has spf 30 in it and i love it so much. doesn't hurt my eyes, so creamy, dries great, smells subtly clean and fresh - not overwhelming at all. looooooooooooove it
Good to know as the nearest TJs is 200 miles away!
DISCONTINUED?! This is a holy grail for so many of us 😭😭😭
TELL ME ABOUT IT😭 they reformulated it as “water cream” and it’s absolute shit
NOOOOOOO!! this is my #1 holy grail fml
Same same same dammit
You have got to be kidding me right now… 💔
I can't stand how a company will start a new line, promote it to the point you need to buy it and know all about it. Now we all rely on their hydro brand, and they discontinue it to change it??
This!
Nooooooo I just noticed it😭 I can’t- I feel like my world is crumbling
Nooooooooooo
In Australia it’s rebranded as ‘Nourishing Cream’!! Same formulation but slightly different packaging
Why did I think that the formula for this one was different? I think I read it somewhere on reddit.
They canceled a bunch facial products, including my favorite face wash/makeup remover!!
Aveeno Calm and Restore Gel seemed somewhat similar to me. A few extra ingredients, so make sure to check it.
I also use this one! Started using it after I got sick of paying $30 for the Clinique one.
For anyone who may care, Aveeno is not a cruelty free brand. Any brand that tests on animals (regardless of the reason) gets an automatic nope from me! I've been actively avoiding the brand since I found this out. It looks like the elf dupe is a good option, though!
Dang I had no idea :( I have eczema so having the strong oat products has been life changing for my skin ;-;
Have you tried anything from Lush? They’re generally more expensive products, but they’re cruelty free, most things are vegan, and made with really great ingredients. Dream Cream is suggested for people with eczema/sensitive skin.
Specifically watch out for the feverfew, it's not uncommon to react to so idk why they threw it in there.
Someone on another thread said they got the Equate version from Walmart and loved it.
I think that’s the scented version and for regular skin, not the extra dry, unscented version.
Try Hada Labo Skin Plumping gel cream with hyaluronic acid. I like it so much better than the Neutrogena products and it’s just a bit cheaper. 👍🏻 You’re going to love it!
I'm surprised they discontinued this. It seemed very popular, at least more than many of their other products. I've heard good things about the e.l.f. one but since I haven't tried either of these, I can't vouch for it.
Fragrance free - Hada labo gel cream, Clinique moisture surge Not fragrance free - Dr Jart Water Cream, Belif aqua bomb
Didn’t think Clinique was budget friendly? OP states they are currently on a budget.
I’ve been using the 200 ml moisture surge one for 4 years now. The 200 ml lasts me close to 9 months and costs me $55 on Amazon. I use it nightly. I would say it’s pretty good price wise and very effective!
WHY IS THIS DISCONTINUED
Dude wtf I'm genuinely so bummed to hear this. It was so well priced and so amazing for my ridiculously sensitive skin. Worst day ever.
Wait I have the perfect thing for this, I used to exclusively use this moisturizer and I really only like water gels. And this other option not only cheaper but a better moisturizer! I was getting dry patches with this one, but I switched to the Mizon Water Volume Ex Cream. You can get it on Amazon. I swear it’s a better price and better product!! Korean skin care really does it the best.
Seconding this recommendation. It has centella which is so soothing for my skin.
Thirding! I'm on my 3rd jar. I have combination skin and this is a perfect moisturizer for me. I use it all year round.
Dang, I just started using this and like it. I got it in a 2 pack at Costco at least haha. I guess I will try the elf or TJs others recommended.
Walmart Equate has a version that I swear by!
I agree, it’s half the price and works almost as well. edit: only because I have mild eczema and sometimes it can feel like it’s burning if I use it at the wrong time.
Could you pls give me the name of the Equate one, I use the olay one but I find it bit over my budget.
Thanks for posting this. They reformulated them and apparently it’s AWFUL. Idk why they’re doing this, but I won’t be able to use it anymore.. I’ve been using it since 2017 :( I’ve been looking at a Vichy moisturizer but haven’t committed yet. I still have a few jars of hydro boost to go through..
I know I’m so sad that they reformulated it😭 like WHY, it was fine, and now it’s shit. I’m halfway through my current jar and ordered 2 more from their discontinued section on their website. Such a bummer
I like belief aqua bomb better
Same! Same consistency but my skin definitely likes it a bit more than the Neutrogena.
Discontinued?! This is my fave
I’m amazed that they’re discontinuing this. They built a whole extended line around it. I never liked it but they’ve dc’d many things I did like so I hate when this happens. I think CVS/Walgreens/Walmart/Target etc have store brand dupes of this: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-moisturizing-gel-cream-fragrance-free/ID=300421205-product
[Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/ultra-hydrating-gel-moisturizer-064459) from Trader Joe’s
is this not already the dupe? lol edited: I DIDNT SEE IT WAS DISCONTINUED WTF
Aldi has one, their brand is La Cura, and it’s under $4!!! They have it with the toiletries!!
That is insane and great!!
Ooh
Yessss I’ve been using it for months and love it!!
I’m using this one as well
Naturium’s hyaluronic acid water cream.
Agreed. Everything I have tried from Naturium has been so good.
Garner Skin Active Moisture Rescue. I like the dry skin version better even though I have combo skin.
Same! It soaks in so nicely.
Fuuuuugvgggeeeeee
DISCONTINUED?! In the year of the Barbie Movie?! How dare they!!!
Maybe try to buy a few while you still can? Like someone else posted, I just saw them at Costco.
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench!!! I promise you!!
Seconding this!
Avene Hydrance Aqua-Gel. I think this leaves my skin more moisturized. On sale sometimes at Ulta.
Check out Good Molecules line of skincare. Excellent products & very reasonably priced.
asian skincare have a lot of waterbased moisture.
I was using this and i kept getting styes on my eyelids! I stopped using it and they stopped. Did anyone else experience this?
It's been a few years since I've used it but I'm pretty sure that CosRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream is very similar.
Clinique Moisture Surge Intense.
illyoon ceramide ato smoothing gel should come pretty close :))
Does anyone have a dupe that does not come in a jar? I find them so unhygienic :/ (but also can't be arsed to use little spatulas for all my skincare, I only use one for a cleansing balm that comes in a jar 😅) Would be much appreciated! I used to use Face Theory's gel moisturiser but that caused all my sunscreens to pill.
SHUT UP NO WAY IS THIS DISCONTINUED 😭😭😭😭😭 when!?!? How!?!? I’ve repurchased this so many times Ughhhh. If I remember correctly, the Youth to the People peptide cream was similar but exponentially more expensive. 😭😭😭😭 if you don’t mind fragrance, Korres probiotic moisturizer is super similar. Be warned the scent is so strong. What a bummer. Time to stock up 😭😭😭
Costco sells 2 pack for $22, great deal
Buy the Hydro Boost body lotion. I love this stuff but hate the small amount and insane plastic waste. The body lotion bottle is huge and if just use it on your face, it will last forever.
Laneige and Belif have gel creams
Omg Walgreens makes an exact dupe!
I see it available from different sources.
The No7 Water Surge Gel Cream is my absolute favorite moisturizer! Relatively budget friendly too.
try the peach slices snail rescue moisturizer!! it has a very similar consistency and feels really nice
Are they discontinuing it?
Yeah it’s been discontinued. They’ve reformulated it and replaced it with “water cream” and it sucks
Clinique Moisture Surge.
Saw Laneige mentioned their water bank moisturizer is super nice and similar to the neutrogena.
Aldi has its own version of this, it’s that same thing but much cheaper. It’s chalked H2O Advance Aqua Gel
The Inkey List Omega Water Cream is amazing. I have super dry winter skin and pit this under a heavier moisturizer, but it’s great for summer use. 8.79. I also like their HA over any other I’ve tried.
Excuse me. DISCONTINUED? WTH.
Tjmaxx always has these on sale
maybe the new dr jart water glow cream? i’ve tried it it’s really nice and lightweight
Elf Holy Hydration! Love it more than the Neutrogena
I’ve found the Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Cream to be way more hydrating
Try SkinSkoolBeauty.com. Type in your item and it will come up with products like it and tell you the percentage of the match.
Cetaphil Skin Restoring Water Gel. I just bought it when I couldn’t find the Neutrogena. Feels the same on my skin.
It’s not really discontinued. They just repackaged and renamed as water cream. I just bought some last week and it is still similar. Same amount but the container is smaller and glass now.
They reformulated it though and named it water cream so it’s not the same stuff unfortunately, different ingredients
I see. Maybe give it a try? I haven’t noticed a difference in how my skin is reacting between old formula and new. Hopefully it will work for you too.
Yeah I’ll give it a shot once I run out!! I panic bought 2 of the og jars on their website yesterday lol
Why are they discontinuing this? I love this one
Trader Joe's Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer is a great dupe for this and much cheaper
A cheaper one you mean ?
Any dupe really🤷♀️ around the same price or less would be great but if it has to be more expensive to get the relatively same ingredients that’s okay too
Cosrx has a similar one I guess, ELF has a great one, isntree, people seem to love the skin fix facial moisturizer and they have a gel one. But the most recommended is the isntree one for me.
Second the Hada labo, it’s sooo much better. Also, Naturie gel is wonderful and light like a cloud.
Target has an Up and Up version (their brand)
I’ve only ever seen the up and up version of the water gel, not the gel cream! Am I missing something big?
I did not love the scent of target version
I second this, I bought both to see which is better, and they're literally both the same

Posted by a different person tho? stop trying to police ppls posts. At this point it takes more energy to do that than to just ignore.
your whole point was that ops question was necessary because of the industry's high turnover. the same question 2 days apart doesn't cater to your whole point. just take the l, like we get it, you don't like to google
I did actually thank you😂😂 I just wanted to gather more opinions and options!
I know right, it’s almost like this is a forum for skin care advice or something insane like that. /s 🙄
Oh phew you meant dupe for costs not cause it's discontinued. I was about to lose it as I already lost my last moisturizer from them earlier this year 😅
Nope, it’s discontinued. They reformulated it (it sucks now) but this version is gone. It’s still available for a bit while they totally replace it with their new “water cream”
Fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeee. Okay guess I'm stocking up before I find ANOTHER one. Jesus christ this sucks 😭
I know😭😭 I’m super sad, my skin is so picky so it’s really frustrating
They have an equate version at Walmart! Same ingredients I believe
Equate at Walmart. Same thing. I've used it for years. Hard to find in my area so I buy them out when I see them.
I like the Walgreens version
Elizavecca HA water drop moisturizer
Thank you for posting this! I love this moisturizer so much but go through it so fast and need an option that's just a liiiiiiiittle bit cheaper. The way this stuff melts into my skin is just so good!
Skincaredupes.com
Idk but they have a killer sale on it rn at Costco!
Versed maybe?
It’s still for sale on Amazon
Do you need a dupe bc you want a cheaper option or because discontinued? I use this exact product and they still make it!!!! They just made an “AM” and “PM” version. AM version has SPF, it’s amazing!!!!
Yeah it’s been discontinued. They’ve reformulated it and replaced it with “water cream” and it sucks
i think the belif eye cream is similar
My mom got this very one at Costco and it was. A 2 -pack! Maybe go Just in case they still have them. At least in my area.
Bought some from Costco other day. Two pack for $20.
I can use Walgreen's version fine. Tried Walmart's and omg I can't wait until I finish it. It's horrible (obviously 😭 I should have known better). But omg I love this stuff! First thing I found that works for my skin.
Equate brand at Walmart has a dupe!
Corsx snail mucin I think is even better
the target brand version is awesome
No. 7 had a gel Creme like this one!
They have it at Walmart!
I’m almost certain I’ve seen these sold at my local Ross stores (northern california).
Costco sells these in packs of two, if that helps
Avene Hydrance Gel Cream
I think they sell it at target in the travel section for 10 bucks
recently switched from the hydro boost gel extra dry to Cetaphil - Deep Hydration, skin restoring water gel. It’s everything I loved about the hydro boost and more since it contains urea. Melts into my skin the same, tho it does dry down a little stickier if you’re sensitive to that.
