KGaA since 2004, features standout items such as the Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF50+, UV Deep Protect & Care Gel, and LUMINOUS630 ANTI-DARK SPOT SERUM, which use key ingredients to improve stratum corneum hydration and barrier function, whereas the Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask relies on botanical ingredients to gently clarify and balance the complexion.
