Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum — $0.17/ml against $1.48/ml for the IOPE original. It's the same product format and shares 2 actives (Retinal and Retinol), which is why we compare the two at all.

What is a cheaper alternative to IOPE Expert Retinol 2% Reti-Jection Serum 1.69 fl. oz.(50ml)?

Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum, at $0.17/ml against $1.48/ml for the original. We only compare products of the same format that share at least two actives (Retinal and Retinol). A dupe shares actives; it is not an identical product.

Is Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum as good as IOPE Expert Retinol 2% Reti-Jection Serum 1.69 fl. oz.(50ml)?

It's the same format, shares 2 actives (Retinal and Retinol), and comes from an authenticity-verified retailer — but the base, supporting ingredients and texture differ. On price per ml it's meaningfully cheaper; whether it feels the same on your skin is a personal call.

How much cheaper is Mary&May Retinol 0.1% Bakuchiol Cica Serum than IOPE Expert Retinol 2% Reti-Jection Serum 1.69 fl. oz.(50ml)?

$0.17/ml against $1.48/ml — about 88% less per ml, not per bottle, so different sizes are compared honestly. Prices move; each product page carries the date its price was last checked.

Do these dupes really match Expert Retinol 2% Reti-Jection Serum 1.69 fl. oz.(50ml)?

They match on the two things we can verify: the product format is the same, and each one shares at least two of this product's actives. We compare them by price per ml or per gram, and suppress any pair with a gap wide enough to suggest a data error. They are not identical formulas — the base and supporting cast differ.

Are these alternatives authentic?

Yes. Every listing shown here passes our authenticity gate — we only compare offers from verified retailers with a documented supply chain (brand authorization, official distributor, or authorized reseller).
