The trade-off

rhode builds on caprylic/capric triglyceride and shea butter with bisabolol, a xylitol-based humectant pair and four peptides, while e.l.f.'s base is isohexadecane and stearyl heptanoate with trehalose, panthenol and two peptides, so it sinks in lighter and has no shea.

Barrier Restore Cream costs about $32 for 50 ml ($18.93 / fl oz). The dupe below is e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream at $13, about 59% less per ounce. Each pair is compared on format, finish and key ingredients, including what the dupe doesn't do.

Daily cream moisturizer with shea butter, niacinamide, squalane, hyaluronic acid, bisabolol and four peptides, light enough to wear under sunscreen and makeup. Fragrance-free; $32 for 1.7 oz.
