Do you find that the cvs brand of imitations works just as well as the real thing?

Question

Ive seen the cvs house brand imitations of st.ives apricot scrub, aveeno lotion, and neutrogena face wash and many others. they even make the packaging similiar. If you have used these did they work for you? They are somewhat cheaper and on my tight budget ever dollar helps.

Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

I'm all for generic products, but the CVS in particular have not impressed me.  I've tried shampoo, conditioner, and lotion and ended up disappointed.  I would recommend another store.  The Target brand rocks!

Answer 2

I used to work at CVS, so I got a big discount on CVS brand. So I generally bough that, and YES, it is pretty uch the same.

I mean sometimes the scents are a bit different on different products, but I really didnt find any difference in any of the products I used. But CVS also has a really good return policy, so It you dont like what you got, you should be able to jsut return it.

Answer 3

No, I think they suck. They real thing is much better. =]

Answer 4

Yep!  I've tried a few of their imitations.  If you read the ingredients between the brand name and the CVS brand, you'll find that they're almost identical.  I've found that the CVS products work just as well (and in some cases, better) than the "real thing."

--->Good Luck!
