Product Price Comparisons: Lancome, Arbonne, Eminence, and More vs. Skintessence

If you want the very best for your skin and to put your best face forward, there’s no question that professional-grade products make a big difference. Any over-the-counter options are simply not made to perform as well (read our article on why Professional-Grade is the best!).

At Skintessence, we offer our own professional-grade, esthetician-developed formulas, but we also make sure to set reasonable prices. Why? We don’t want to take advantage of hard-working people by inflating our prices like so many other brands do. We believe that professional-grade products should be accessible to everyone. We don’t spend millions on marketing, which helps keep our operating costs manageable and allows us to set fair prices. It really is that simple!

Product Price Comparisons: Apples to Oranges

Our first set of comparisons is really apples to oranges because the popular companies listed here are not professional-grade; they’re over-the-counter brands (even MLMs). If they’re not professional-grade, then despite the inclusion of key ingredients, you won’t get as much nor the quality level of ingredients and delivery agents as pro-grade (learn more). But let’s just look at cost alone:

• Lancome, 0.7 oz eye cream is $96 vs. Skintessence 1 oz Essential C Eye Serum at $45

• Lancome’s 2 oz brightening cream is $168. You can buy 4 Skintessence products for the same price. For example, the Skintessence Glow Serum and Rockstar Retinol Serum (best-sellers) are $60 each.

• Arbonne’s 4 oz cleanser is $35 vs. Skintessence 8 oz cleansers at $42 (twice as much for only $7 more)

• Arbonne’s 1.7 oz toners are $39-41 dollars vs. Skintessence 8 oz toners at $42 (much more for the same price range)

• Arbonne’s 1 oz serums are $99 vs. Skintessence 1 oz serums that average $60

• Comparing to Rodan & Fields’ is the same, and we can repeat this analysis with many over-the-counter brands!

Product Price Comparisons: Apples to Apples

Now we’ll compare Skintessence products to other popular professional-grade products.

Image and Eminence are two very popular brands and are far more expensive than Skintessence. Yet we offer the same quality and quantity of ingredients as these other professional-grade brands. Here are a few examples:

• Image’s Biopeptide Cream 2 oz is $74 and their Vitamin C Moisturizer is $68. Our pro-grade moisturizers are the same size (2 oz) at $42 and are chock-full of peptides, vitamin C, and more.

• Eminence’s Cleansers are only 5 oz (vs. our 8 oz) and range from $44-56, whereas our 8 oz pro-grade cleansers are $42.

We could go on. We realize there are hundreds if not thousands of skin care products competing for your attention. The smart choice is Skintessence, not just for your skin, but also your pocketbook. If you’re new to Skintessence, start here!
