NEOCUTIS and OPTASE are respected skincare lines known for nurturing daily care and supporting calm routines. The Swiss brand NEOCUTIS, founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013, is widely beloved for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, which utilize thoughtfully crafted formulas to nurture the complexion. Meanwhile, the second brand is deeply loved for its gentle makeup removers and carefully balanced formulas. While the former suits mature, dry, and stressed skin best because of its deeply restorative properties, its counterpart suits sensitive, dry, and irritated skin best due to their soothing and restorative qualities.
