Why this dupe

The proof is in the ingredients, not the price

Homosalate, Octocrylene, 아보벤존, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and other key ingredients appear in both full ingredient lists.

In the full lists, 16 ingredients overlap.

Who it's for

Good forUV protectionSoothing

A good fit if sun protection comes first and you want a sunscreen that feels light. Both carry several UV filters that block the sun.

MISSHA also includes a soothing ingredient, so skin feels calm after you apply it.

What works and what to weigh

Upsides
  • UV protection on par with the original
  • Soothing support included
  • About 87% cheaper
Trade-offs
  • The original carries a few more UV filters and a tone-care ingredient. Both are rated sunscreens though, so everyday protection differs little.

Whether each product contains ingredients some prefer to avoid. A check means it does not contain them — a preference, not a safety verdict.

Before you reach for this dupe

  • Both include fragrance and a preservative within the regulated limit. If you are sensitive to fragrance, patch test on your inner arm first.
  • A sunscreen works best when you apply enough to cover every spot.

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 Naver 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 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.

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.
