BYOMA vs KORRES

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

BYOMA and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful moisturizers, cleansers, and related essentials that suit dry skin and sensitive skin best. The British brand relies on a tri-ceramide complex and squalane to improve barrier hydration and fight oxidative stress, while the Greek heritage line draws on scientifically crafted formulas to foster a balanced, radiant complexion. They differ primarily in their proprietary ingredients and targeted solutions, such as BYOMA featuring a Melting Balm Cleanser for mature skin and KORRES offering a Bounce Firming Moisturizer for similar concerns.

BYOMA is a British skincare brand founded in 2022 and owned by Bansk Group since 2025.
