SK-II and SKIN&CO are celebrated skincare lines that offer distinct paths to a balanced complexion. SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991, known for luxurious moisturizers, potent serums, clarifying toners, and restorative masks anchored by its signature ingredient, pitera. SKIN&CO is loved for its deeply nourishing moisturizers and expertly crafted formulas that maintain the natural equilibrium of the skin. While the first brand suits dry and acne-prone skin best, the second brand suits dry, normal, and combination skin best due to their balanced composition.
