Dollar Tree has a whole line of great skincare dupes – the $1.25 serum I bought has changed my skin drastically
A SELF-PROCLAIMED beauty investigator has been wowed by a Dollar Tree range that’s strikingly similar to a popular skincare brand.
She said one of the $1.25 products from the line “drastically” improved the appearance of her skin.
Nina Pool (@ninaghoulina) boasts almost 2 million followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty hacks.
BEAUTY BARGAIN
She went viral on the social media app when she raved about a serum bought from Dollar Tree.
“There is a whole line of Ordinary dupes at the 5 quarter store, the Dollar Tree,” she said.
“Not a lot of people are talking about it.
“I have one product from that line that I need to speak on because this product is changing my skin drastically.
“This is a remedy for acne scars.”
Nina showed the uneven texture and discoloration on her cheek before continuing to explain the skin concern she was targeting with the product.
“I have indented scars and hyperpigmentation,” she said, pointing at different areas of her face.
“Those are tattoos I gave to myself during the freckle craze. Don’t worry about it.
“Recently I started using this Ordinary dupe, it even looks like the Ordinary.
“It is the Skin Nutritions Botanicals Double Strength Retinol Night Repair Serum.
“This is going to help us to regenerate our skin and have a higher turnover rate.
“This is oil-free, silicon-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free.”
Nina reassured her followers that they could find the same budget-friendly product on Amazon if they couldn’t find it in their local Dollar Tree.
EXCITED SHOPPERS
Almost 57,000 people liked the video and took to the comment section grateful for the recommendation.
“I love The Ordinary’s products! Guess I’m heading to 5 quarter store, thank you,” one person said.
“Nina Pool you’re my new hero I love my duparoonie queen, you’re awesome,” another said.

A third commenter said they had already tried the serum and it “completely changed” their appearance, while a fourth said they’d received compliments on their “beautiful” skin since they began using it also.
Others said they were going to stock up on the product as soon as it gets back in stock at their local Dollar Tree.
SUPERB SERUM
Hundreds of Amazon shoppers have bought the serum for $6.50 in the past month.
Despite costing more than Dollar Tree, it is 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 has been formulated with retinol and hyaluronic acid to target the signs of aging and acne.
The manufacturer has revealed it’s “most effective” when used nightly on clean skin.
They recommend applying sunscreen during the day as UV rays can affect the results.
Amazon customers have given the serum a 4.4-star rating out of a possible 5 and penned glowing reviews.
Many people said they began to buy it online after struggling to find it at Dollar Tree.
“I found this in Dollar Tree one time & used faithfully every night bc [because] IT WORKS for fading scars,” one person said.
“The consistency is kinda sticky when it dries down but I always use vitamin E and SunBum face cream after to leave my skin silky smooth with glow!”
“It’s so cheap and it works!” another commented.
“My acne scars, texture, and extra pigmentation are slowly fading away. Good simple ingredients too.”
