Do these dupes really match Retinol Bakuchiol Serum?
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.
