Skincare: Generic or Brand Name?

I was getting ready for bed last night and as I went through my usual skincare routine, I realized that almost all of the products that I use are generic versions of name brand items.  I have generic Cetaphil, generic ProActiv, generic OXY, and generic Olay.  I am one of those people who believe that generic skincare items are just as good as brand name.  I get the results I want and save some money.


Then I looked at my husband's skincare products are realized that he is a stickler for name brand.  He swears there is a difference between the generics and his tried and true brand names, even at the drugstore.


Of course, there is no right or wrong answer to this question but I was curious about other people's opinion on the subject.  What about you?  When it comes to skincare, do you go for generic items or stick to brand name products?
