What the gurus are saying

This serum earns praise for delivering similar results to pricier alternatives at a lower cost, with some gurus noting it contains comparable vitamins and ingredients to more expensive options. However, gurus split on the current formula, while some found it effective, others felt a recent reformulation made it noticeably less impressive than before, so it may be worth patch-testing first to see how it performs for your skin.

"Oh, this is the First Aid Beauty Alter Repair Hydrating Serum. This one had probably expired a long, long time ago, but I finished using it on my arms, neck, and chest, so I just couldn't bring myself to waste it. They haven't sold that product for a long, long time."

"I don't know, I guess it was [...] the old formula though. I will say the first few pumps are a little. I didn't really use this a ton on my face, I use it more on my neck, so I'm just trying to finish up stuff before they go bad."

"The First Aid Beauty Alter Repair Hydrating Serum, they changed the formula and made it really not nearly as impressive as it once was. The price stayed about the same and they took out some of the peptide, the peptide that was the main star of here, and really didn't change it for the better in my opinion. When you're spending that much, like 36 bucks a bottle, I wanted something really good. The original version was so much better."

"First Aid Beauty has a repair hydrating serum that is literally $38. Not the cheapest of the cheap, but you're saving yourself $10, and it's not an exact dupe, but the formula is very, very similar. It has some of the same vitamins, it has some of the same ingredients, and it works well. If you wanted to save $10 or just from a line that is kind of geared towards more breakout-prone skin, First Aid Beauty really considers skin health."
