Anti-aging serum Spendy: Peter Thomas Roth Firmx Growth Factor Extreme Neuropeptide Serum, $150
Thrifty: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum, $26.99
Money saved: $123
Why you'll love it: "Peter Thomas Roth Firmx is a good serum, but it's needlessly pricey. It's actually closer to a moisturizer formula than a serum formula," says Begoun. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum, which has amino-peptides and a B3 complex that penetrate deep into the skin to hydrate skin, will give you similar wrinkle-reducing results.

I have the Olay ProX cleansing brush and use it every day, seriously, on my sensitive, acne prone skin. Its a great tool and for $25 it beats the pants off the Clarisonic.

I think it is not fair to compare LaMer with a drugstore product.

Guess paula's changed her tune about the Olay brush. She knocked it originally, saying it was too harsh. She failed to mention if she tried the slower speed.
