Cleansing Balm: Naturium vs. Clinique
I love comparing beauty products and am always looking for similarities and differences between popular products. These two cleansing balms really stood out to me.
If you like the Clinique Take The Day Off— then you’ll like Naturium Purple Ginseng Cleansing Balm...
Left: Naturium
Right: Clinique
Clinique 3.8 oz for $36
Naturium 3oz for $19
(the Clinique does have MORE product-- but still a price difference)
Are the ingredients exactly the same? No.
But if I was to close my eyes and do a blind test I wouldn’t be able to tell a difference. They feel the same and remove eye makeup the same.
I love and use both BUT if you are looking for an affordable alternative check out the one from Naturium. Naturium is also Cruelty Free and not sold in countries that require animal testing so this is also a reason to look towards Naturium.
I don’t use the word “dupe” because this is incredibly rare.
If something is a dupe —it’s the exact same formula and ingredient list and performs the same. A dupe would be buying the generic version. Like when you go to Costco and buy the Kirkland Signature Brand but it’s actually the name brand with the label removed.
Tip: check out SEPHORA collection products 👀 they are the "kirkaland signature" of beauty brands.
I would love to hear what your opinions are! Have you tried one or both? Would you say they compare?
