I thought these two mandelic acid peels sounded very similar. But my dad took one look at the ingredients and picked a definitive winner.

One possible solution may be CVS PM Moisturizing Lotion, which appears to be quite similar to the ingredient list of the old version of CeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion.
