Why this dupe

The proof is in the ingredients, not the price

Ceramide, 사카로미세스발효여과물 and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.

In the full lists, 20 ingredients overlap.

Who it's for

Good forDrynessDullness & spots

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

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

What works and what to weigh

Upsides
  • Moisture on par with the original
  • Free of paraben and mineral oil
  • About 77% cheaper
Trade-offs
  • The original packs in more ingredients for uv protection.

Key shared ingredients · 2 (1 uncommon)

The key ingredients both products share — the basis for the match.

CeramideHydrationKorea MFDS-listedwidely used

A barrier lipid that locks moisture in, often recommended for dry or sensitive skin.

사카로미세스발효여과물HydrationKorea MFDS-listed

A yeast ferment filtrate common in essences for smoother skin 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.

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.
