Which skincare feels far more expensive than it costs?

Best for: a simple daily moisturiser upgrade, no routine overhaul required. Shop Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Cream

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour All-Over Miracle Oil 100ml

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 125ml

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Berry 20g

RRP £21 | allbeauty £12.50 | Save £8.50, 40%

Which fragrance smells like it costs three times as much?

Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum 100ml (women's)

Calvin Klein's original 1985 women's fragrance — warm and spiced, built on vanilla, bergamot and peach up top, rose and sandalwood through the heart, and amber, musk and vetiver in the base. A full 100ml bottle of a genuinely famous fragrance, for a fraction of what it says on the box.

RRP £90 | allbeauty £23 | Save £67, 74%

Best for: evenings, and anyone who loves a warm, spiced, vanilla-led fragrance. Shop Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum

Montblanc Legend Red Eau de Parfum 50ml

RRP £58 | allbeauty £24 | Save £34, 58%

Best for: everyday and office wear — a fresher, more versatile pick than a typical evening fragrance. Shop Montblanc Legend Red Eau de Parfum

Which hair and body buys are worth stocking up on?

Molton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper Bath & Shower Gel 300ml

RRP £55.40 | allbeauty £23 | Save £32.40, 58%

Best for: dry hair that needs intensive moisture, in a size that won't run out in a month. Shop Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner 1000ml

How the numbers actually compare

Price per 100ml (or 100g) isn't a fair comparison across totally different product types — a fragrance and a shower gel aren't competing for the same purchase — but it's a genuinely useful way to compare sizes within the same product or product line, and it's worth seeing all ten side by side.

The Joico row is the clearest example of why size matters: the same conditioner in a 250ml bottle costs £10, which works out at £4.00 per 100ml — almost twice what the 1000ml bottle costs per 100ml (£2.30). If you already know and like a product, the largest size is very often the smarter buy, not just the better-looking saving.
