Simple is a British brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011, offering gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners crafted with niacinamide and glycerin. BIOEFFECT is cherished for its targeted serums and advanced formulas that provide refined care for daily routines. Both suit distinct needs, as the former is best for acne-prone skin and skin with dark spots, featuring standout choices like the Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner, the Micellar Cleansing Water, and the Micellar Water for mature skin, while the latter suits mature skin types best through standout products like the EGF Serum for acne-prone skin. Through these elements, niacinamide reduces hyperpigmentation and improves aging signs, while glycerin improves skin hydration and barrier function.
