What these differences mean
Different names do not tell us which serum works better.
Some selected ingredient names match, but amounts and the rest of each formula may differ. Open an ingredient explanation to see its intended use and the kind of evidence behind it.
Check the whole product for precautions.
An ingredient name cannot predict your skin’s reaction. Cosmetics can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Check the complete label and follow the product directions.
FDA: cosmetic reactions and precautionsOne ingredient study does not rank these serums.
Studies of an ingredient, supplier descriptions and brand claims answer different questions. We have not recorded an independent head-to-head study of these two serums. Lower cost per mL does not establish better results.

Selected label peptides, not the complete INCI list. Other peptides and non-peptide ingredients may be omitted. See the manufacturer for the full formula.
