That said, everybody’s needs are different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy for finding good, effective skincare dupes. Bao and Olu also note that what works on one person’s specific skin type may not always work on another skin type. Other than researching and approaching reviews from multiple sources with a critical eye, skincare experts agree that the best way is to experiment. Rather than focusing on finding a dupe of an expensive product, Bao and Olu suggest focusing on finding the best product for your skin at a price that works for you. “Be patient,” urges Bao. “Finding the right skincare product, whether it's a high-end product or a dupe, takes time and experimentation. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to find a product that works well for your skin.”
