By all means everyone should use what best fits their "needs" in skin care. If the only product that will satisfy those needs is expensive so be it. OTH, for those that have no special skin care needs, normal skin if you wish, there are a variety of soaps/creams that will do very well at a substantial savings. If you can't notice a substantial difference between two products then you do have the option to pay less.

None of the above means anything if you have the means to buy what you want when you want without a worry to cost. Obviously that is fair too.
