Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

The British line, founded in 1960, is known for gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners featuring niacinamide and glycerin, which suit acne-prone and oily acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand, founded in 2014, is beloved for deeply nourishing moisturizers and scientifically targeted formulas that suit dry, sensitive skin best.
