The Korean skincare line from 2014 offers nourishing serums, effective makeup removers, gentle cleansers, and soothing moisturizers that suit dry skin and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the second brand is widely loved for its thoughtful mineral sunscreens that suit sensitive skin best through gentle mineral formulations.
