Active Match: 100%Formula Similarity: 22% (partial record)
Matches on sodium hyaluronate and tocopherol for hydration, and uses a silicone (cyclopentasiloxane vs dimethicone) for similar texture, though it lacks mica for the skin-like finish.
⚠ no mica, so finish may look flatter/less luminous⚠ different silicone type (cyclopentasiloxane not dimethicone)

Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
Closest Alternative
Active Match: 100%Formula Similarity: 44% (partial record)
Shares mica, dimethicone and tocopherol for a similar silicone-based finish, but swaps sodium hyaluronate for zinc oxide, so hydration profile differs and this leans more matte/oil-absorbing.
⚠ no hyaluronic acid for hydration⚠ zinc oxide gives different finish, more mattifying
tocopherolMissing: sodium hyaluronate

Maybelline Foundation Superstay 30h Warm Nude
Closest Alternative
Active Match: 61%Formula Similarity: 12% (partial record)
Only overlaps on dimethicone, sodium hyaluronate and tocopherol buried deep in a much longer, more complex silicone-polymer formula, so it's a different type of product despite a few shared actives.
⚠ heavily reformulated with many extra silicones/polymers⚠ fragrance-free but very different ingredient complexity⚠ long-wear film-former base, not a simple dupe

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.
