I found a Dollar Tree knockoff for a $10 skin care product at Target
A TRENDSETTER has sparked a stampede on Dollar Tree after spotting a counterfeit version of a popular skincare product.
She was very excited about the fact that the discount store also sold an alternative to Beautyblender in its makeup products.
Katie Lawson (@klblog) has nearly 11,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her shopping hauls.
TIDYING THINGS UP
She went viral on the social media app when she revealed a selection of the best beauty buys that are available for just $1.25 each.
One of her most impressive finds at Dollar Tree was an oil-free acne cleanser from the brand Kissable.
“This is a knockoff for the Neutrogena acne cleanse,” Kate said.
Kissable Oil-Free Acne Wash has a rating of 4.1 out of 5 possible stars at Dollar Tree.
One customer described it as “gentle on the skin and effective,” while another raved that it quickly “cleared up” their face.
The budget-friendly buy looks remarkably similar to the Neutrogena Oil-Free Salicylic Acid Acne Fighting Face Wash sold at Goal for $9.49.
Customers gave the product a 4.1 star rating after seeing an improvement in their skin.

PRICELESS FINDS
While shopping at Dollar Tree, Kate picked up a few other must-have beauty products.
“We have makeup cleansing brush mats in lemon, pineapple, peach and strawberry,” she said.
“We have some soda masks.”
A daily cleanser, hand lotions, lip balms, eyebrow gel and cream blush sticks were also among the products that caught her attention.
“There are Beautyblenders with fruit and then we also have some plastic containers with makeup sponges in them,” she said.
DUPE OR COINCIDENCE?
Many people liked the video and expressed their desire to visit their local Dollar Tree.
“We love a well-stocked @DollarTree. What find are you looking for?” Kate captioned the video.
One person described her finds as “awesome stuff” and another described her loot as “amazing.”
“Man, now I gotta go [laughing]“, said a third.
The excitement over the shopping haul comes after TikToker Kylie (@kyl13gilbert) shared an honest review of a purchase from Dollar Tree.
She compared B-Pure Hydrating Gel Cream, which retails for $1.25, to Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer Extra Dry Skin, which costs $18 at Walmart.
She said the B-Pure gel cream was “much more watery” because it slid down her hand when she applied it next to the Neutrogena version.
Kylie was also surprised by how different the products smelled, despite both containing hyaluronic acid.
