I’m not a beauty snob but I like the ‘fancy’ skincare serum I scored at Dollar Tree – it’s comparable to a drugstore buy
A DOLLAR Tree customer was stunned to find a serum that was comparable to a popular drugstore product for just $1.25.
She confessed to wanting to stock up on the skincare item after being impressed by its results.
She shared a photo of the budget-friendly beauty buy on Reddit’s Dollar Tree forum, which has almost 40,000 members.
SUPER SERUM
The multivitamin face serum was formulated with vitamins B, C, E, and niacinamide.
“I’m not a beauty snob, I have cheap and expensive things in my collection, whatever works, works!” she said, writing under the handle Dualmind121.
“I bought this because well, it’s $1.25 and why not try it?
“They even have it in a glass bottle (fancy) but seriously, it’s not bad.”
She raved that the serum is “honestly comparable” to a product sold by Olay.
Amazon’s Olay store sells a Niacinamide 24 + vitamin E serum for $12.68.
The brand boasts that it makes skin appear more youthful in 14 days of consistent use.
Niacinamide is one of two types of vitamin B3, according to Healthline.
It can improve skin health and has been used as a treatment for conditions including acne and rosacea.
As well as in skincare products, niacinamide is readily available as a supplement.
The Redditor said Dollar Tree’s serum is just as effective as Olay’s for a fraction of the price.
“I can’t get over how good it actually is,” she said.
FAN FAVORITE
A stream of commenters said they had already tried the affordable serum, while others said they were going to buy it.
“I love DT Serums!!!! Can’t beat em! They work amazingly for me!” one person said.
“OMG I LOVE THIS STUFF,” another commented.
“I find it a lot easier to apply than some of the more expensive stuff I get from other stores and it’s not as thick.”

“I love this stuff,” a third chimed in. “To be honest I think it works pretty decent.”
Another commenter said they bought six of the serums at once because sometimes their local Dollar Tree is out of stock.
