Exact science-based dupes appear first. When a strict dupe is not available yet, we still show the closest active-match alternatives from the same product category.

Benton · drugstore
This shares niacinamide but the source's actual hero ingredient is 60% propolis extract, which is completely absent here; instead you're getting snail mucin and a peptide complex, a totally different actives profile.
No price

rhode · drugstore
Only niacinamide overlaps; the source's defining ingredient is 60% propolis, which is missing here, and this leans on peptides and hyaluronic acid instead.
No price

Glow Recipe · drugstore
Shares niacinamide only; the propolis that defines the Beauty of Joseon serum is absent, and this is built around watermelon/fruit extracts and a dewy tinted finish instead.
No price

Caudalie · drugstore
Niacinamide is present but at a much lower position in the list (diluted), and the source's signature 60% propolis extract is nowhere in this grape/peony-based formula, plus it adds fragrance.
No price

The derma co · drugstore
Shares niacinamide but is fundamentally a salicylic acid anti-acne treatment with alpha arbutin, missing the propolis that makes the source a soothing/hydrating serum.

We rank results with INCI-level analysis first, then fall back to the strongest active matches and closest alternatives so every product page still shows comparable options. Fallbacks stay within the same category as the source product, so cleansing balms only surface cleanser dupes instead of adjacent product types. Active Match % measures shared science-backed actives. Formula Similarity % measures total ingredient overlap when full INCI lists are available.
