What matches

Same retinoid: retinaldehyde, one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, in a light emulsion for night use.

What the dupe does worse

Medik8 encapsulates it in cyclodextrin at 0.1% with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, while The Ordinary uses 0.2%, twice the strength, with bisabolol and ginger to calm it, so start it every third night.
