VR vs NIOD
VR and NIOD are distinct skincare brands that meet evolving daily needs and redefine modern skincare through thoughtful development. The former delights enthusiasts with the sensory pleasure of its moisturizers and considered design, suiting combination, sensitive, and dry skin best, with the PDRN CREAM standing out for acne-prone skin. Conversely, the Canadian brand is known for advanced serums and balancing toners featuring sophisticated, scientifically rigorous formulas that suit mature, sensitive, and dry skin, alongside targeted solutions like Modulating Glucosides for acne-prone skin and Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist for dark spots. While both brands accommodate sensitive and dry skin, they differ in their core product experiences and specific active formulations.
NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
