Dermalogica vs KORRES

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

Dermalogica and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful moisturizers and gentle cleansers. The American brand utilizes powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and salicylic acid in its targeted serums, nourishing moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and purifying masks, suiting oily skin and combination skin best. Conversely, the second line suits sensitive skin and acne-prone skin best, relying on balancing and nourishing foundations. While both support skin health, they differ because the former features active formulations that balance excess oil and moisture.

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