Beauty of Joseon and L'Oreal Paris are skincare brands founded in 2016 and 1909, respectively. The Korean brand is loved for serums, masks, moisturizers, and sunscreens featuring niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid that suit dry and sensitive skin best, while the French brand is beloved for serums, moisturizers, masks, and eye products utilizing hyaluronic acid and glycerin that suit oily and oily acne-prone skin best. These companies differ as the former offers gentle daily care alongside treatments like the Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask, Light On Serum: Centella + Vita C, and Revive Eye Serum, whereas the latter balances lightweight hydration with targeted care through options such as Revitalift, Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream, and Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Cream.
