Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser DUPE!?

Yes, you read the title of this blog post correctly...
Welcome back loves!

You've heard me rave about how the Cetaphil Skincare line has done wonders to my skin and has failed to disappoint me.  In fact, it actually helped clear up and cure my acne (aside from those pesky PMS break-outs that you can't really avoid).  All the little bumps on the sides of my cheeks, the huge whiteheads, GONE! It really is a wonderful skincare line that works for all skin types and was able to clear my skin up, maybe it can do the same for yours?  
PS: If you're sitting back in your chair thinking "Uh Jess, what are you talking about 'cleared your acne,' you still have all those red pimples on your face in that Instagram post..." 
Well, those are actually acne scars! The overall texture of my skin is pretty smooth and my whole thing right now is trying to get rid of the scars! (Future blog posts will discuss all of that though).  Anyways, back to what I was saying....
"Cetaphil cleansers and moisturizers provide gentle and effective skin care that soothes and softens for healthy looking skin. Clinically proven and doctor recommended."
If you're a guy or girl on a budget though, the Cetaphil Cleansers and Moisturizers can cost you upwards to $20 depending on where you shop!  BUT, I got you covered!
I was at my local Walmart the other day and stumbled upon what looked to be an exact replica to the Cetaphil Cleanser!?  I'm sure you are all aware of the "Equate" brand that Walmart sells... well, they just so happen to have an identical cleanser and moisturizer to the Cetaphil ones. And when I say identical, I mean identical!

(Sorry, I get a little passionate when I discuss dupes hehe).  Anywho, the final decision is ultimately up to you. Many people prefer the real deal and spend the extra money, others love finding exact replicas for less money!

Stay tuned for my next blog post and take care,
