Dermalogica vs KORRES

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

Dermalogica and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful moisturizers and cleansers, alongside targeted serums, gentle cleansers, and purifying masks. The American brand launched in 1986 relies on hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and salicylic acid to suit oily and combination skin, while its counterpart draws on scientifically crafted formulas to suit dry and sensitive skin. These ranges differ fundamentally because the former utilizes active formulations for balancing excess oil, whereas the latter offers gentle, nourishing compositions for a radiant complexion.

Dermalogica is an American skincare brand founded in 1986 and owned by Unilever since 2015.
