Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum

The luxury original: Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum, $40

What matches: Same form of vitamin C: tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, the oil-soluble ester that converts to vitamin C in the skin and stings far less than ascorbic acid, with squalane on both labels.

What it does worse: Sunday Riley puts it in a water-based cream-serum, while The Ordinary dissolves 20% of it in a water-free oil with vitamin F (ethyl linoleate) and jojoba, which suits dry skin better than oily.
