Drunk Elephant's marula oil is a must for days when our skin craves simple hydration without all the extra ingredients. So when we saw a Trader Joe's version of the product for almost $60 cheaper, we were intrigued. On this week's episode of What the Dupe?, Matthew puts both face oils to the test over a few days. Keep watching to see his full review and to find out if the TJ's formula is a worthy stand-in for the luxury stuff. Then, let us know which dupe-worthy product to try out next.

I just turned 60 and yet I still have *very* oily T-zone facial skin. I bought a bottle of TJ Marula oil to use on the not-oily parts, but I found it too heavy and greasy. Instead of returning it, I'm now using it as a mix-in with my body lotion and I also apply it to my very dry cuticles. It works great for both uses!

My husband's name is Matthew Boyd! But he doesn't do skincare ;). Read an article about this dupe on your channel and seeing your name made me happy! Sending to my husband so you can inspire him 🤩

Hi there. I used drink elephant marula oil when I bought the Littles in the cute orange bag. Fell in love and have been looking for a substitute ever since! Then today I found it at Trader Joes! Gosh they have such great stuff ll!! …then it led me to looking for a comparison where I found your wonderful video. Thank you so so !I would love to see a lab analysis of both. I think it would be very interesting.

In case people don't know, Trader Joe's often just slaps their label over existing higher-priced products. They do this with many of their food items This could be one of them. Don't be fooled by higher-priced products, especially if they have the same ingredients!!! I use TJ's, Unseen Sunscreen which is exactly like Supergoop and many of their other products. I love Trader Joe's!

I really lose my mind when I see people put the dropper on their face and then back in the bottle! Thank you Mathew! 💗🙏🌺

Currently trying out the Trade Joe's version and I like it.

I developed terrible skin allergies, and Trader Joe Marula oil is the best. Someone told me my skin looks great, and I was not wearing any make up.

[kaylamaguire]

I use Tretinoin at night. Will this oil be fine to use with?

[sarahbacot]

I think it smells like poop not blueberries 😂 but for the price I just add some clary sage essential oil and it’s bearable!

[meganevans]

So excited to try this! Just picked it up 20 mins ago.

I got the drunk elephant travel bag recently because I had a friend raving about how good it was, so I started trying vit too and I do like it but I agree definitely don't like the price either. Guess I'll be going to Trader Joe's.

[petiteetoile]

I keep seeing this at Trader Joe's and I'm always like👀
I LOVE the DE oil but my wallet sure doesn't

[sullivan]

Ok my drunk elephant one is coming today....the things people are saying about the trader joes smell is scaring me to try that one after

[Thenonlymaria]

Just picked this up today and was scared… I guess it’s a new product?? Not many reviews online
