Simple and KORRES are distinct skincare options rooted in daily care. Simple is a British brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011, known for gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners that thoughtfully incorporate niacinamide and glycerin. Meanwhile, the second brand is widely loved for its thoughtful moisturizers and cleansers, which draw on the rich heritage of scientifically crafted formulas. The first line suits acne-prone and mature skin best, while both options differ as the second suits dry and sensitive skin best through its nourishing compositions.
