"I googled the two today and it turns out that the ingredients are exactly the same in the same order," said one user of Herbivore Lapis Oil and its doppelgänger, Acure Blue Tansy Night Oil.

Alicehoopz was also quick to match up the TotalBeauty Award 2017 runner-up Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream with the less-expensive Bliss Drench & Quench Cream-to-Water Hydrator.

"The bottles are pretty," says Reddit user just-one-more-blush of Glossier's trio of serums, "But the products from The Ordinary are nearly identical and are so effective." She also calls The Ordinary's version of the Super Bounce serum a "must-have," saying, "It's like my skin turns into one of those bouncy houses at kids' fairs and stuff."
