HIGH street stores are now seriously competing with the big beauty brands by making affordable products with incredible results.
When Charlotte Tilbury released its Magic Cream, beauty fans were amazed by the results.
But the iconic cream is expensive and can set you back anywhere from £52 to a whopping £195 depending on the size of the pot.
Revolution Pro, on the other hand, spotted a gap in the market and released a budget-friendly version which they named Miracle Cream, and it is said to be incredibly similar to Magic Cream.
Currently on sale for £7.50, the Miracle Cream is regularly sold out, and for good reason - it’s been awarded 4.5 out of five stars online, with nearly 2000 reviews left.

And some beauty fans claim it’s “better” or just as good as Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream.
Having tried Revolution Pro’s Magic Cream for some time, a customer with the username Nimnims left a five-star review.
It read: “I honestly can not believe how amazing this cream is?!
“I’m in my early 40s and have for the past year started to get fine lines on my forehead.
“This cream has stopped that and has given me that youthful glow, my skin looks fresh and hydrated.
"Even when I wear foundation, the fine lines have decreased immensely.”
SC also left her thoughts and wrote on the Boots website: “Bought a pot very sceptical as it’s such a good price but have not been disappointed as it’s left my skin so smooth and well hydrated.
"Will be ordering again as I just love it and the smell is divine.”
Diane W explained her experience of using the cream: “This is my third pot of this amazing cream.
“[It] has made my face so soft and appears to be plumper looking.

“Don’t waste your money on the expensive [Charlotte Tilbury] version, give this a try.”
Helen called it a “great dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream” and added: “It works well, smells nice and absorbs quickly. Feel luxurious on your skin.”
Someone with the username M left a five-star review: “I prefer this to the Charlotte Tilbury magic cream. It’s thicker and richer and leaves skin feeling plump and healthy.”
Mandy J added: “I usually use Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. After reading the reviews on Revolution I decided to try their Magic Cream.
"It’s amazing!! Skin feels fab all day, definitely worth 10 stars!!”
Gemma R said: “I usually use Charlotte Tilbury magic cream which has a hefty price tag but was told about this miracle cream and believe me it’s a miracle!
“Not only does it feel good on the skin and I have been using now for over three weeks and I can already see a difference in my skin, it’s less dry and flaky and looks more refreshed.
“The price tag is a third of the big brands and so I’d suggest trying this cream as you won’t be disappointed.”
As for what makes the Miracle Cream so good, and arguably a “dupe of Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream” is how the “beautifying face cream transforms tired and dull complexions in just four weeks”.
With a “supercharged skincare formula [that] instantly hydrates skin from the first use”, the cream is said to “re-energize your [face] for smoother, plumper and younger-looking skin”.
It’s said to be suitable for all skin types and features and lightweight and hydrating formula that “absorbs perfectly into the skin”.
