FANCL and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for gentle care and botanical traditions.

Both suit sensitive, dry, and normal skin types best, though they differ as the former offers mild solutions like its Mild Cleansing Oil for dark spots, and the latter incorporates carefully selected ingredients such as the Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser for similar concerns.
