Shopping notes
Small bottle, bigger picture
Reading sizes and comparing unit prices without letting the packaging make the decision.
Editorial preview · Original draft, awaiting approval. No publication date or expert endorsement.
Start with the stated amount
Check whether the size is given in millilitres (ml), grams (g), or a count of items. Those units describe different things. A 50 ml bottle and a 50 g jar are not directly comparable by amount alone.
Use the selected size and its current price, not a “from” price for an unspecified option. A multipack needs its total amount to be stated clearly before you calculate.
Put matching units on equal terms
For a single known size, divide the price by the amount. A hypothetical ৳600 bottle containing 100 ml is ৳6 per ml; a hypothetical ৳900 bottle containing 200 ml is ৳4.50 per ml. These are arithmetic examples, not store offers.
Our comparison preview shows unit prices only when one clear ml or g size is known. Missing or mixed units are left unknown rather than guessed.
Value is more than volume
A lower unit price does not tell you whether a formula, shade or packaging suits you. Compare the product information, selected option and total spend alongside the amount. Avoid buying more than you intended simply because the larger size has a lower unit price.
