None

Compared by full ingredient list. It does not mean concentration or texture are identical, and prices are as of the listed time.

What the ingredients show

The two products share a couple of core actives. One is pro-vitamin B5, used to soothe and hydrate stressed skin; the other is a signature humectant that pulls in and holds water, leaving skin hydrated and smooth.

Across the full lists, both focus on moisture, brightening and firmness. They don't share every ingredient, but the payoff lands in a similar place.

Neither product lists paraben, silicone and mineral oil. The O HUI side does include fragrance, so if fragrance or preservatives are a concern, the COSRX option may sit easier.

A close ingredient list doesn't mean the strength or the texture matches. The same ingredient can feel different depending on how much is used and how it's made, so treat the shared ingredients as a starting point rather than a promise.

The price gap is about 65%, or roughly ₩33,740. If you want a similar ingredient makeup at a lighter price, this is an essence worth trying 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 can differ by formulation and origin.

Prices are market-verified against Naver and 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.
