Conversely, the German brand founded in 2018 is celebrated for nourishing moisturizers, targeted serums, and soothing eye products, including The Serum for acne-prone skin, The Eye Cream for skin with dark spots, and The Rich Cream for mature skin, suiting dry skin and dry sensitive skin best with deeply hydrating compositions.
