Both are oil-based balm cleansers with caprylic/capric triglyceride and tocopherol, but this one is built on sunflower/coconut oil and a botanical-extract blend rather than Dermalogica's signature apricot/soybean oil plus citrus-and-herb essential oil complex.

Shares caprylic/capric triglyceride and tocopherol as base emollients, but this is a multi-oil (avocado, jojoba, grapeseed) balm with added charcoal and salicylic acid for exfoliation, a different functional focus than Dermalogica's phospholipid/citrus-oil makeup-dissolving formula.

Same base emollient (caprylic/capric triglyceride) and tocopherol, but built around a squalane/multi-plant-oil blend with mineral powders rather than Dermalogica's wax-and-phospholipid structure with citrus/herb essential oils.

ELEMIS · drugstore
Shares the basic emollient (caprylic/capric triglyceride) and tocopherol plus lavender/citrus oils for scent, but it's an almond-oil/PEG-emulsifier balm rather than Dermalogica's wax-thickened, phospholipid-and-multi-citrus-oil formula, so the actual actives don't line up.

Only real overlap is caprylic/capric triglyceride and tocopherol; the rest is a rose/almond-oil PEG-emulsified balm, missing Dermalogica's phospholipids, glycolipids, and citrus-essential-oil complex that define the original's cleansing action.

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.
