Simple vs Valmont

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

Simple and Valmont represent distinct British and Swiss approaches to daily maintenance and luxury care. Simple offers gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners enriched with niacinamide and glycerin that suit acne-prone and oily skin best, while the brand from 1985 is widely loved for its luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas that suit mature and dehydrated skin best. The British collection features standout solutions like the Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner, Micellar Cleansing Water, and Micellar Water, whereas the Swiss line includes the Prime Renewing Pack for acne-prone skin. Both labels differ as the Unilever PLC-owned line relies on barrier-boosting ingredients, while the latter focuses on delivering lasting comfort.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
