What matches

Same active at nearly the same strength: glycolic acid, second only to water in both (8% against 7%) and buffered in both, with aloe on both lists.

What the dupe does worse

Paula's Choice is a leave-on gel with chamomile and green tea, while The Ordinary is a toner swiped on with a pad that adds rose water, ginseng and amino acids.
