    Default Skin Care: Oil of Olay vs. Equate knock-off

    Has anyone who usually uses Oil of Olay skin care tried the Walmart brand equate version? Any recommendations for or against?

    I'm trying to find things I can cut corners on...

    Thanks!

    I haven't used it in a while but I did use the equate version once and found it be just as good.

    I use the Equate version and it works fine. The only problem I see is that both Oil of Olay and the Equate version prices have skyrocketed.

    Sounds like I need to just shift to equate for all my H&B... I'm sure tired of trying to find coupons for Oil of Olay that still don't bring it down to the equate price! Still...I wish it didn't cost so much and add up so fast!!!

    Not looking!!

    I use nothing but the Equate moisturizer, and it works just as well as Oil of Olay. I also use the nighttime cream which is equal to Oil of Olay.
    Hope this helps!

    I use their firming cream and eye cream. I am pretty sure the ingredients are the same. I've been happy with several equate products.

    I don't mind equate for the feel, but I like the Oil of Olay for the sunscreen in it so continue to buy the name brand.

    I've used it in the past and it's just as good in my opinion. I'm currently using the Equate eye cream. I can't tell the difference in it and the higher priced products.

    I use equate eucerin and it works just as well. I have a tub for a fraction of the price that will last me for years.

    I use the Equate or Target one and they are great. It has SPF 15 in it.
