The verdict

Paying $29.01 more for Paula's Choice buys you ascorbic acid.

Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster adds ascorbic acid (moderate evidence) that CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum doesn't have. On consumer consensus, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum holds 4.3★ across 13,700 reviews vs Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster's 4.5★ across 4,100 reviews. The extra $29.01 for Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster is defensible for the added ascorbic acid.
