Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm not really sure how much interest there is for this, but I've seen a couple requests for product alternatives to R+F and figured, hey, it'd probably be nice to have a list to refer back to. This definitely isn't exhaustive by any means, but hopefully it's helpful for people who like the products but don't want to support an MLM. (Or for people who think the products sound interesting but don't know where to start searching for non-MLM alternatives!) I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here but maybe this will help someone :)These aren't all 'dupes' - I haven't tried R+F, so I have no idea what the user experience for their products are like, and I figure some people might be more interested in the star ingredients, or some people might be looking for a different consistency anyway! I did try to bold the products I felt would be closest to R+F in terms of star ingredients and user experience, but again, this is just going off the product descriptions.I tried to include products from a variety of price points and interests as much as possible: drugstore, high end, natural, clinical, no-frills, all-frills, yadda yaddaAnd this list definitely needs more recs! I did a quick initial search, but please recommend things and I'll add them! I'm especially interested in recs for:Brightening toners - I knew y'all have a million recs for these so I admittedly didn't search too hardVitamin C (ascorbic acid) moisturizersSelf tannersAnd please chime in if you have experience with any of these products! I'm especially interested in the SOOTHE Moisture Replenishing Cream and the SOOTHE Sensitive Skin Treatment, since the texture of both of those is likely more important than the star ingredients.REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum ($99 for 60 capsules) -
