If you’re like us, Walgreens is your go-to for all of your drugstore needs whether it’s a prescription, a restock on bandaids, a birthday card for a loved one or a new face wash. In fact, almost all of our favorite and essential beauty finds can be found at our local Walgreens. And even better, the store just released its own line of premium skin care. The products that make up this line are all Walgreens beauty dupes (aka affordable alternatives) for pricier beauty products. For example there’s a moisturizer just like Kiehls’ and a Walgreens Tower 28 spray dupe that TikTokers say works just as well as the original. To see all of the Walgreens beauty dupes that are sure to make you and your wallet happy, keep scrolling.

Why shop for skin care and beauty products at Walgreens?

The store isn’t only a one stop shop for any and all of your beauty needs, but it just launched its premium skin care line. From cleanser to moisturizer and serums, there’s a product for every skin type and concern. And you can’t beat the price! As mentioned above, Walgreens latest line ranges from $5.99 to $22.99, making all the products extremely wallet-friendly. They also contain all or almost all of the same ingredients as products that are much more expensive. We love a good dupe!

The best Walgreens beauty dupes

Read on to see what made our list of Walgreens beauty dupes, including the Walgreens Tower 28 dupe.

Walgreens Gentle Cleanser: Dupe for Youth to the People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser

It’s so important to wash our face at the end of the day to remove makeup, sunscreen and more. One of the most talked about cleansers on social media is Youth to the People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser and too bad it retails for $39. Enter: Walgreens Gentle Cleanser. Coming in at only $11, this cleanser also contains the star ingredients of the Youth to the People cleanser: Kale, green tea and spinach extracts. These ingredients are great for sensitive skin, as they gently cleanse skin to remove dirt, oil, impurities and more without stripping skin of its moisture.

Walgreens Hydrating Lip Mask: Dupe for Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Keeping lips moisturized is a must, but especially as we get older. And that’s exactly what Walgreens Hydrating Lip Mask does. It’s ultra hydrating thanks to its shea butter, coconut oil and candelilla wax, which are all three ingredients that can be found in the Lanegie Lip Sleeping Mask. Best of all, it only costs $10, making it $14 cheaper and over twice as inexpensive than the Laneige option. Bonus: Just like the Lanegie lip mask, the Walgreens version also comes with a small applicator so you don’t have to dip your fingers into the pot.

Walgreens Watermelon AHA Mask: Dupe for Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment

Have skin that looks dull and blah? Walgreens Watermelon AHA Mask can help. It’s identical to Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment but is a steal for $19 as opposed to $40 for the Glow Recipe Mask. The hero ingredient is of course watermelon extract, but both masks also contain niacinamide, glycolic acid and lactic acid — all of which hydrate and gently exfoliate skin to restore radiance fast.  

Walgreens Moisturizing Facial Cream: Dupe for Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

Walgreens Moisturizing Facial Cream is hydrating and feels just as luxurious and rich as Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. It’s only $12.99 versus Kiehl’s $39 price tag. When it comes to ingredients, this Walgreens beauty dupe isn’t exactly spot on but they are similar enough as they both contain moisturizing squalane, nourishing olive oil and repairing sunflower seed oil.

Walgreens Body Butter Firming Cream: Dupe for Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is one of the top viral beauty products. If only it didn’t cost $48 for one tub. Thankfully, Walgreens Body Butter Firming Cream is basically the same lotion — and even the packaging is super similar. Both the Walgreens and Sol de Janeiro creams feature Cupuacu butter and coconut oil that restore moisture to skin and help it look and feel firmer instantly. After doing a sniff comparison, the Walgreens beauty dupe is a hair less sweet smelling than Sol de Janeiro but that’s a plus if you don’t love products with an lovely sweet fragrance.

Walgreens Cleansing Spray: Dupe for Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid

If you’re looking for a Walgreens Tower 28 dupe, opt for Walgreens Cleansing Spray. It’s made with hypochlorous acid just like Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid. The main difference comes down to the price — the Walgreens version costs $11.99, while Tower 28’s is $28. Watch the below video from @slashedbeauty on TikTok to see how it works.

A skin care review with a side of jump scare 🫠 I tried the @Walgreens Cleansing Spray for some acne I was experiencing last week— a bunch of individual zits that were not healing quickly and inflamed. After about 4 days of using the spray they were all flattened out and dried up. After 7, all I’m left with is the hyperpigmentation but the skin is smooth and no new breakouts! #tower28sosspray #tower28dupe #skincaredupe #walgreens #hydrochloricacid #acneskincare #cleansingspray #acneproneskin #drugstoreskincare
