Bioderma and MAËLYS are distinct skincare collections that offer specialized care for different complexions. Bioderma, a French brand founded in 1977 and owned by the Jean-Noël Thorel Foundation since 2018, is known for its thoughtful array of moisturizers, makeup removers, serums, cleansers, and more, all anchored by nourishing glycerin.
