How does Skin Stacker choose Squalane + Omega Repair Cream dupes?

Skin Stacker is independent and receives no payment from any brand. "Dupe" matches are based on publicly disclosed INCI lists and shared hero actives — not on side-by-side lab testing. A shared active profile does not guarantee an identical experience: texture, fragrance, supporting ingredients and concentrations all differ. Formulations change — always re-check the current label before buying.
