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

BYOMA and VR are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful formulations that address a range of daily needs. BYOMA, a British brand founded in 2022 and owned by Bansk Group since 2025, offers a well-loved range of moisturizers, toners, cleansers, and serums featuring a signature tri-ceramide complex and squalane, while skincare enthusiasts deeply appreciate VR for the sensory pleasure of its moisturizers and the considered design of its formulas. The first brand suits dry and oily skin best, with specific solutions like the Balancing Face Mist for acne-prone skin, the Brightening Toner for dark spots, and the Melting Balm Cleanser for mature skin, whereas the second brand suits combination, sensitive, and dry skin best, featuring the PDRN CREAM as its standout solution for acne-prone skin. They differ primarily in their core ingredients and target skin concerns, with both continually refining their offerings to improve barrier hydration, fight oxidative stress, and boost collagen production.
