Lancôme Absolue The Serum vs Medicube Zero Pore One Day Peptide Serum
See all 41 Lancôme dupes →As of Jul 18 · Prices reflect public listings on stores such as Coupang and may vary by store or promotion.
Why this dupe
The proof is in the ingredients, not the price
Lactic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.
In the full lists, 9 ingredients overlap.
Who it's for
A good fit if dryness bothers you and you want to cover firmness and wrinkles too. Both carry water-binding and fermented moisturizers that refill dry skin and add firming ingredients.
Medicube also brings tone-care, soothing and exfoliating ingredients for people juggling several concerns in one product.
What works and what to weigh
- Moisture on par with the original
- More ingredients for firmness and exfoliation
- Tone and soothing support too
- Fragrance-free, cleaner finish
- About 93% cheaper
- –UV-blocking ingredients sit only in the original. Sunscreen handles UV anyway. The gap does not touch moisture, firmness or exfoliation.
- –Medicube includes a silicone, so it may not suit people who avoid silicones.

Key shared ingredients · 2 (1 uncommon)
The key ingredients both products share — the basis for the match.
An AHA that gently clears away dead surface cells.
A signature humectant that pulls in and holds water, leaving skin hydrated and smooth.
The lists are long, so the reference line lands late and the reading becomes unreliable. So we cannot tell how much of each shared ingredient these two products actually contain, and we would rather say that than guess.
Full ingredient comparison
Both full ingredient lists compared. More shared ingredients means a closer match.
Ingredients are listed by amount. Below 1%, brands may list them in any order, so ranking there means little.
Compared by full ingredient list. It does not mean concentration or texture are identical, and prices are as of the listed time.

Before you reach for this dupe
- Medicube includes a preservative within the regulated limit. It is generally fine. If your skin is sensitive, start with a small amount on your inner arm.
- It also includes several ingredients that clear dead skin, so wear sunscreen during the day while you use it.
How skin responds to ingredients varies from person to person. If your skin is sensitive or you have a specific condition, check with a doctor first.

Disclaimer
This comparison is based on full-ingredient (INCI) data published under cosmetics law.
Shared ingredients mean the full-ingredient lists overlap, not that blend concentrations match; how a product feels and performs can differ by formulation and ingredient grade.
Prices are market-verified against stores such as Coupang and may differ from official store prices; discounts and temporary changes may not be reflected, so check the seller before buying.
For sensitive skin, eczema, pregnancy or other special cases, please do not decide on this analysis alone and consult a dermatologist.
