She went viral on the social media app when she raved about a serum she bought at Dollar Tree.
“There’s a whole line of regular knockoffs at the dollar store, the Dollar Tree,” she said.
“Not many people talk about it.
“I would like to tell you about one product from that line, because this product has drastically changed my skin.
“This is a remedy for acne scars.”
Nina showed the uneven texture and discoloration on her cheek and then explained the skin concern she addressed with the product.
“I have scars and hyperpigmentation,” she said, pointing to different parts of her face.

“Those are tattoos I gave myself during the freckle craze. Don’t worry.
“I recently started using this Ordinary dupe, it even looks like the Ordinary.
“It’s the Skin Nutritions Botanicals Double Strength Retinol Night Repair Serum.
“This will help us regenerate our skin and have a higher skin renewal rate.
“This is oil-free, silicone-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free.”
Nina assured her followers that they could also find the same budget-friendly product on Amazon if they couldn’t find it at their local Dollar Tree.

A third commenter said they had already tried the serum and it had “completely changed” their appearance, while a fourth said they had received compliments on their “beautiful” skin since they started using it too.
Others said they would stock up on the product as soon as it was back in stock at their local Dollar Tree.
SUPERIOR SERUM
Hundreds of Amazon customers have purchased the serum for $6.50 in the past month.
While it costs more than Dollar Tree, it’s still cheaper than The Ordinary’s Retinol 1% in Squalane, which costs $12.99 at Walmart.
Skin Nutritions Botanicals Double Strength Retinol Night Repair Serum is formulated with retinol and hyaluronic acid to address the signs of aging and acne.
The manufacturer has revealed that it is ‘most effective’ when used in the evening on clean skin.
They recommend using sunscreen during the day as UV rays can affect results.
Amazon customers have given the serum a rating of 4.4 out of 5 possible stars and have written rave reviews about it.
Many people said they started buying it online after having trouble finding it at Dollar Tree.
“I found this at Dollar Tree once and have used it faithfully every night because [because] “IT WORKS to fade scars,” someone said.
“The consistency is a bit sticky when it dries, but I always use Vitamin E and SunBum face cream on top to make my skin silky soft and radiant!”
“It’s so cheap and it works!” commented another.
“My acne scars, texture and extra pigmentation are slowly fading. Good simple ingredients too.”
