What matches
Built along the same lines: retinol in a dimethicone serum with ceramides, sodium hyaluronate and a licorice derivative (dipotassium glycyrrhizate) to keep skin calm.
What the dupe does worse
The difference is strength: Paula's Choice states 1% retinol and adds peptides and a vitamin C ester, while CeraVe encapsulates an undisclosed dose for a gentler release and adds niacinamide, which suits a first retinol better than a stronger one.
