The French skincare brand founded in 1977 and owned by Jean-Noël Thorel Foundation since 2018 offers moisturizers, makeup removers, serums, cleansers, and more anchored by nourishing glycerin, while the other is beloved for purifying masks and targeted formulas featuring botanical ingredients. The first suits dry skin and sensitive skin best, whereas the second suits combination, oily, and acne-prone skin best. They differ primarily because the former relies on glycerin to improve skin hydration and restore barrier function, while the latter uses botanical ingredients to gently clarify and balance the complexion.
