Is the Vitamasques Hydrate Milk Glaze Moisturizer a dupe for the Rhode Glazing Milk?
Let’s start with an ingredient breakdown. The two products share a total of 12 ingredients, with three key standouts:
- Three hyaluronic acid derivatives
- Ceramides
- Glycerin
This ingredient overlap tells us the products provide similar benefits when it comes to hydration, moisture-retention, and plumping. However, because Rhode contains a greater amount of lipid-rich ceramides, it’s more effective at supporting the skin barrier. On other hand Vitamasques contains an array of peptides, making it better for firming and improving the look of fine lines.
If you’re looking for a product with similar ingredients, benefits, and textural feel for less, it’s fair to say that Vitamasques’ product is an affordable alternative to Rhode’s. Both provide deep hydration, a plumping effect, and an overall glass-skin finish.
In terms of price, Vitamasques’ 1.69 oz. moisturizer is $10 compared to Rhode’s 1.7 oz. bottle for $20. To get the same amount as Rhode’s larger size, you’d have to buy three Vitamasques, which is still $2 in savings.
The only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself, and at $10, it’s definitely a worthy impulse purchase.
