Simple vs KORRES

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

Simple and KORRES are distinct skincare options rooted in thoughtful formulation. The British line offers gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners enriched with niacinamide and glycerin, while the Greek counterpart is warmly loved for its nourishing moisturizers and gentle cleansers. The first collection suits acne-prone and oily skin best, whereas the second suits sensitive and acne-prone skin best. Ultimately, they differ through their heritage and specific active ingredients, yet both consistently support the natural harmony and health of the complexion.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
