Beauty for less: Skincare enthusiasts swear by $8 serum dupe

Korean beauty products have earned a reputation for delivering glowing, youthful complexions.

However, they often come with a hefty price tag.

That's why the latest buzz is about Kmart's latest find, which has budget-conscious shoppers rejoicing.


In true Kmart fashion, the retail giant now offers a product hailed as a dupe for a popular Korean beauty brand.

OXX Skincare's Watermelon Facial Serum costs $8, and savvy shoppers are comparing it to Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum.

The latter is a cult favourite that typically retails between $34 and $60 at Mecca, depending on the size.

Facial serum aside, they also offer a full range of watermelon-scented products, including a cleanser, toner, moisturiser, and mist.

A plum-scented range is also available for those who prefer a different scent.

Beauty expert Tanika Jaun has even taken to social media to share her thoughts on the Kmart range, describing it as feeling 'super luxe'—high praise for a budget skincare line.

Her video showcasing the products has gone viral, amassing over 700,000 views, with many commenters echoing her sentiments.

‘I tried the watermelon facial cream. It's amazing my skin is so soft now,’ one comment read.

‘I don’t know what you guys are on about but Kmart skincare made my face so smooth and the formula clearer my face’ another added.



While Glow Recipe's products boast higher quality ingredients and are vegan-friendly, sulphate-free and cruelty-free, the Kmart dupe is an accessible alternative for those prioritising cost-effectiveness.

It's a reminder that good skincare doesn't always have to come with a luxury price tag.
Finding products that are both effective and affordable can be a challenge.

Still, Kmart always finds solutions that are worth exploring.



If you want to refresh your skincare routine or try something new without the financial commitment, why not take a trip to your local Kmart?

Remember, skincare is personal—what works for one person may not work for another.

Always patch-test new products and consult a dermatologist if you have specific skin concerns.
