Dupe of the Day: SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Cleanser

I have been thinking about featuring a new section on the blog where I share dupes for popular or higher end skincare products. I do love a bargain and believe that most of the time it's not necessary to spend a lot of money for a product that will achieve results as good as an expensive one.

Recently I was made aware that a new L'Oréal product has pretty much the same ingredients as the SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Cleanser.

L'Oréal Paris recently launched a glycolic acid range, including a 3.5% Glycolic Acid Cleanser, which has an almost identical formula to the SkinCeuticals version:

L’Oreal Paris 3.5% Glycolic Acid Cleanser 
Aqua / Water, Coco-betaine, Propylene Glycol, Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Glycolic Acid, Triethanolamine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Disteareth-100 Ipdi, Parfum / Fragrance, Salicylic Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Menthol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Disodium Edta, Linalool, Steareth-100, Citronellol, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate (f.i.l. C274108/1).

Blemish + Age Cleanser
Aqua/Water, Coco-Betaine, Propylene Glycol, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Glycolic Acid, Triethanolamine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Disteareth-100 IPDI, Phenoxyethanol, Salicylic Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Menthol, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Steareth-100, FIL D42553/1

The main difference seems to be that the L'Oréal Paris cleanser contains Aloe Leaf Juice and the SkinCeuticals one has no perfume and uses parabens as preservatives.

Find Blemish + Age Cleanser at SkinCeuticals, and the L’Oreal Paris Resurfacing Gel Wash at Feel Unique.
