VIVIANA TRY

However, she scoffed at the price, which she believed was a bit exorbitant.

“This needs to cost no more than $5.99,” Vivian said.

According to Vivian, all an acne product needs is a dose of salicylic acid and then it should do the job.

After checking both bottles of body wash, she was able to confirm that the active ingredient was indeed salicylic acid.

Both Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne-Fighting Face Wash and Dollar Tree’s Kissable Oil-Free Acne Wash contained two percent salicylic acid.

Vivian then compared the smell of each face wash and found that the scents were comparable.

“They also nailed the smell,” she added.

DUPE OR FLUKE?

However, the consistency wasn’t enough to stop Vivian from recommending the product.

“I would still say, try this,” she said, pointing to the Dollar Tree face wash.
