Why this dupe

The proof is in the ingredients, not the price

Ceramide, Hyaluronic Acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.

In the full lists, 13 ingredients overlap.

Who it's for

Good forDrynessFirmness & wrinkles

A good fit if you want to refill dryness while firming the skin. Both use hyaluronic acid, ceramide and a firming peptide to refill dry skin and support elasticity.

VT is an essence built around collagen, so it is easy for daily use.

What works and what to weigh

Upsides
  • Moisture and firmness on par with the original
  • About 98% cheaper
Trade-offs
  • The original adds caviar and ginseng ingredients and more firming peptides. If you want more firmness, that gap remains.
83/100

Hyaluronic AcidHydrationKorea MFDS-listedwidely used

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1PeptideKorea MFDS-listed

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

  • Both include fragrance, so if you are sensitive to it, patch test on your inner arm first.

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.

This is an information service to support reasonable choices, and the final purchase decision is yours.
