Anessa and A+ are distinct skincare brands founded in Japan and India respectively. The Japanese line, established in 1992, is widely loved for its advanced sunscreens and sophisticated formulas, suiting all skin types best with offerings like the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk for acne-prone skin and the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel for skin with dark spots. Conversely, the Indian brand, launched in 1990, is widely beloved for its gentle moisturizers and thoughtfully calibrated formulas, suiting sensitive skin best with standouts like the 345 Relief Cream for acne-prone skin. While both companies reliably support daily moisture balance and care for the complexion, they differ in their primary product types and ideal skin matches.
Anessa is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1992 and owned by Shiseido Company, Limited.
