Generics Up & Up Target Brand

So this month with it being the holiday season my budget is much tighter than normal. Target had a huge sale on their Up & Up brands, with Cartwheel 10% off, gift card inticements, ect. So I thought why not give it a shot? So I chose things that I have tried in the past that gave me favorable results, but again this time in the Up & Up brand.

First up Renewal Cleanser which is comparable to Olay Regenerist Cream Cleanser. This honestly is almost identical. I couldn't tell the difference at all. It has the micro beads to help scrub and resurface the skin. UP is $4.19 compared to Olay which is $6.99.

Secondly is Deep Pore Cleansing Strips which are comparable to Biore Pore Strips. I can't say I am a fan. These didn't have as much sticking power as the Biore does, so in return not as much gunk comes out of your pores. UP is $6.09 for 14 compared to Biore which is $8.49.

Third is Maximum Strength Acne Treatment with benzoyl peroxide which is comparable to Clean & Clear Persagel. I like this even more than C&C. The scent is way better, and the effects are overnight. I dab this on any lil blemish I have, and by morning it's gone. GONE! UP is $3.79 while C&C is $6.99.

Fourth is Eye Make Up Remover Liquid which is comparable to Neutrogena's Oil Free Eye Make Up Remover. I love this. Again they are pretty identical. The only  real difference is the scent, and they both have pleasing clean scents. Neither are oily, and they both are effective in removing mascara completely without damaging my eyelashes. The price difference is HUGE! This will forever keep me using this one. UP is $2.49 while Neutrogena is $6.99.

Fifth & sixth are the Daily Morning & Evening Moisturizing Treatments compared to Olay Regenerist versions of the same.  The day serum is formulated to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tones, leaving skin feeling firm and soft with a fresh glow. The formula leaves skin feeling velvety smooth. . UP Daytime Moisturizing Serum is $13.99 while Olay is $19.99. The night cream is intense moisture to help with cell renewal, wrinkle reduction, and firming skin. The Up Night Cream is $15.99 while Olay is $19.99. Once again not too much of a difference other than scent. I've been using these since November, and I keep receiving compliments on my skin.

I've been really happy with these generic purchases. Normally I'm a brand snob, so maybe it's just that I like the brand Up & Up. The savings difference total was $27.09 cheaper and that's BEFORE any discounts,  giftcards, ect.!  $42.35 vs $69.44. I ended up paying $28.xx for all that stuff ( 10% off, plus for every 3 items you bought you earned a $5 gc ). I will purchase this again, and be willing to try other Up & Up products too.
