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

  • The dupe uses preservatives within the regulatory limit. It also has an exfoliating ingredient, so pair it with sunscreen during the day.

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.

How we pick a dupe

We compare the full ingredient lists and only pair products that share core actives. Prices are checked against market listings, and ingredients with Korea MFDS usage standards are flagged on the page.

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.

Product images are displayed from Naver Shopping search results, and the rights to each image belong to the respective seller or brand.
