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.

ELEMIS · drugstore
Both are oil-based cleansing balms and share trace amounts of the same fruit acids, but Elemis leans on wax/butter emollients rather than the mineral oil/ester blend that gives Hanskin its melt, and lacks any real AHA exfoliation positioning.

ELEMIS · drugstore
Same story as the other Elemis balm - shared trace acids but a wax/butter-based texture instead of Hanskin's mineral oil/ester balm, with no real AHA active dosing.
No price

Barbara Gould · drugstore
A micellar milk with mineral oil present but as a minor emulsified ingredient in a water-based formula, not an oil balm, and the AHA acids here are just trace/pH-adjusting amounts.
No price

Juice Beauty · drugstore
This is a lightweight milk cleanser built on plant juices and glycerin, not an oil/balm makeup-melter, so despite sharing the same trace fruit acids it won't remove makeup or SPF like Hanskin's balm.
No price

Nivea · drugstore
This is a gentle water-based eye makeup remover with soothing actives (bisabolol, panthenol), sharing none of Hanskin's oil-melt mechanism and only trace citric acid rather than a real AHA/oil balm profile.

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.
