The French line features nourishing serums, moisturizers, cleansers, and eye products containing glycerin, thermal water, and niacinamide, which suit oily skin and sensitive skin best through barrier-supporting care. Meanwhile, the Swiss line is widely celebrated for comforting moisturizers and dependable formulas that suit dry, sensitive skin best. While the former focuses on targeted treatments like the Anthelios, the Pure Vitamin C Cream, and the MELA B3 Facial Gel Cleanser, the latter relies on options such as the Derma to maintain daily skin health.
