Contains caffeine but at an unknown, likely lower concentration, and completely lacks the signature EGCG (epigallocatechin gallatyl glucoside) antioxidant complex that defines the source formula.
No price

Yves Rocher · drugstore
Caffeine is present but likely at a low, undisclosed dose and the formula relies on entirely different actives (theophylline derivative, escin, plant extracts) with no EGCG match.
No price

SKIN'minute (BODY'minute) · drugstore
Caffeine is present but buried among many plant extracts, butters, and proteins with no EGCG or comparable antioxidant complex to match the source's key selling point.
No price

clinians · drugstore
Shares caffeine only, but the formula is built around hyaluronic acid, algae, and hydrating gel actives rather than the EGCG antioxidant system the source is known for.
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.
