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.

Hindustan Unilever Limited · drugstore
Shares niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative (sodium ascorbyl phosphate vs ascorbyl glucoside), but this is a sunscreen-cream hybrid with UV filters and lacks Garnier's phenylethyl resorcinol and adenosine.
No price

The derma co · drugstore
Shares niacinamide and salicylic acid, but Garnier's brightening actives (ascorbyl glucoside, phenylethyl resorcinol, adenosine) are missing while this leans more into acne-care with arbutin instead.
No price

Les Cosmetiques · drugstore
Only shares niacinamide; this is more of an anti-aging/plumping booster (erythrulose, lactic acid) and lacks Garnier's brightening complex of ascorbyl glucoside, resorcinol, and adenosine.
No price

Beauty of Joseon · mid-range
Shares only niacinamide at a likely lower concentration; propolis-based formula lacks Garnier's brightening actives (ascorbyl glucoside, phenylethyl resorcinol, adenosine).
No price

Glow Recipe · drugstore
Only niacinamide overlaps; this is a hydration/glow serum without any of Garnier's brightening actives like ascorbyl glucoside, resorcinol, or adenosine.
No price
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.
