Primark's £3.50 product an 'exact dupe' of Bobbi Brown £49 version

A product that costs £3.50 from Primark has been hailed an "exact dupe" of a £49 Bobbi Brown item by a skincare expert.

Scott McGlynn, host of Celebrity Skin Talk, struggled with acne growing up and says he spent all of his wages on luxury skincare products that "didn't work". He claims everyone should cleanse, use a serum and moisturise twice a day.

And he says some of the best products on the market cost as little as £3.

Scott said there are "amazing" products available on the high street that too many people shy away from in favour of pricier, designer brands. He added: "Even Primark has blown up. The Primark Vitamin C cream is an exact dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base."

The Primark Vitamin C moisturiser retails at £3.50 whereas the designer alternative would set you back £49.

Primark said its moisturiser "seeks to brighten dull, tired skin" and is "ideal for daily use" while Bobbi Brown's face base is a "moisturiser-and-primer in one [that] replenishes skin with a signature nourishing vitamin blend".

Scott also recommends using the Cien cleansing milk from Lidl, which costs £1.79, and the £9 Revolution Skincare Ceramides Moisture Cream.

In addition, he said he keeps puffy eyes at bay with teabags, as well as using tealight candles that have been in the fridge overnight on his eyelids.
