Clarins and Silka are two skincare brands offering thoughtful serums, luxurious moisturizers, soothing eye products, gentle toners, and effective formulas for daily routines. The French brand founded in 1954 and owned by Famille C is loved for its formulations enriched with nourishing shea and hydrating squalane, suiting sensitive and dry sensitive skin best, while the other brand suits balanced, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin.
