SK-II GenOptics Ultra Aura Essence vs goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Serum
See all 27 SK-II dupes →As of Aug 2 · 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
Niacinamide, 비타민C and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.
In the full lists, 6 ingredients overlap.
Who it's for
Across the full lists, both focus on moisture, brightening, soothing and antioxidant. They don't share every ingredient, but the payoff lands in a similar place.
The SK-II side does include fragrance, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, sodium benzoate and methylparaben, so if fragrance or preservatives are a concern, the goodal option may sit easier.
Upsides
- Moisture on par with the original
- About 89% cheaper

Key shared ingredients · 2 (1 uncommon)
The key ingredients both products share — the basis for the match.
A Korea MFDS-notified brightening vitamin B3, also widely used for hydration and barrier support.
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.

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.

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.
