The former is cherished for its gentle moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and makeup removers that suit dry and sensitive skin best, whereas the latter is warmly loved for its targeted toners, gentle makeup removers, and deeply hydrating moisturizers that suit dry, sensitive, oily, and combination skin types best.
