Why this dupe

The proof is in the ingredients, not the price

Niacinamide, Gluconolactone and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.

In the full lists, 11 ingredients overlap.

Who it's for

Good forDrynessDullness & spots

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

Neither product lists paraben, silicone and mineral oil. The 파믹 does list fragrance though, so check the label if your skin tends to react to those.

A Korea MFDS-notified brightening vitamin B3, also widely used for hydration and barrier support.

GluconolactoneExfoliationKorea MFDS-listed

A milder PHA used to refine surface texture.

Neither list has a preservative-type marker with a known concentration cap. So we cannot tell how much of each shared ingredient these two products actually contain, and we would rather say that than guess.

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

  • It contains exfoliating acids, so daytime sunscreen is a good idea.
  • It contains fragrance, so try a small area first if you are sensitive to scent.

Reactions vary from person to person. If your skin is sensitive or you have a specific condition, please consult a dermatologist.

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.
