The Japanese brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kao Corporation offers sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and makeup removers suited best for sensitive and oily skin, while the other is beloved for moisturizers and gentle cleansers that suit dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best. Both lines feature high-performing or effective formulas designed for particular concerns, such as the UV Aqua Rich, Makeup Remover Perfect Oil, and Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser from the former, and the Vitamin C Ceramide Night Cream, Rosehip Cream Cleanser, and Line Smoothing Day Cream from the latter. Ultimately, they differ in their specific product types and the distinct skin types they serve most effectively.
