Dermalogica vs Valmont

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

Dermalogica and Valmont are esteemed skincare brands founded in the mid-eighties that cater to distinct complexion needs through specialized formulations. The American line, owned by Unilever since 2015, relies on targeted serums, nourishing moisturizers, gentle cleansers, purifying masks, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and salicylic acid to suit dry skin and oily skin best, whereas the Swiss line is widely loved for its luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas that suit mature and dehydrated skin best. While both offer standout products like the Daily Microfoliant and the Prime Renewing Pack for acne-prone skin, the former focuses on working beneath the surface with active ingredients, and the latter focuses on delivering lasting comfort and gentle care.

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