How a pair gets on this site
Matched on formula
Pairs share the format, finish or key actives. Where the percentage is disclosed, we print it.
Compared per ounce
Sticker price hides size. NIVEA Creme Moisturizing Cream beats its original by 99% per ounce. Where a product has no volume — a tool, a sponge — we say so and compare the price.
Honest about the gap
Every comparison names what the cheaper one does worse: wear time, shade range, scent, warranty.
