Why a £99 Serum is Actually Cheaper Than Your £45 Serum?

That £45 serum feels like a win at the counter, but is it really a win for your wallet?

We’ve all been there, staring at that beautifully packaged £99 luxury serum and thinking there’s no way the luxury bottle is worth that price.

But if you look at the cost-per-use skincare math, the expensive bottom is often the smarter financial move.

How? Let’s understand the high-end vs. drugstore skincare math.

The Formula: Breaking Down the ROI

Most £45 serums are aqua-heavy, meaning they are up to a 70% water and fillers. You use like 10 drops every day and night, and that bottle is empty in 30 days.

When you invest in a high-potency elixir like FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum, you aren’t paying for water; you are paying for a 100% natural, water-free concentration of expensive, high-potent ingredients like Saffron, Sandalwood, and Rosehip.

Because this formula is undiluted, you only need 3 to 4 drops per application. In a 25ml bottle, that is approximately 500 drops of pure liquid gold.

Now, to understand the longevity of both products, let’s look at this formula,

Retail Price ÷ (Total Drops ÷ Daily Usage) = Cost Per Day

Using this formula, the SkinYoga Saffron Serum (£99) lasts roughly 166 days if used once a day, costing you just 59p per day. When compared to a standard £45 serum that lasts 30 days at 1.50p per day, the luxury choice obviously becomes a budget winner.

Why Active Ingredient Concentration Matters?

The secret to high-end vs. drugstore skincare math lies in potency. SkinYoga’s serum contains 24 Ayurvedic ingredients, including Saffron, which is a scientifically proven adaptogen that stimulates collagen in the deep dermis.

Furthermore, this serum acts as an all-in-one. With the brightening power of Saffron and the anti-inflammatory properties of Sandalwood, you can often skip the separate Vitamin C and redness correcting serums entirely. So, by purchasing a £99 serum, the active ingredient concentration value saves you even more on secondary products.

The Verdict

Stop shopping by the price on the tag and start shopping by the concentration. A bottle of SkinYoga Saffron Serum isn’t just a luxury; it’s a five-month commitment to better skin for less than the price of a single London bus fare.
