Meanwhile, the Canadian line, founded in 2018, offers nourishing moisturizers that suit sensitive, acne-prone, and dry skin best. While both feature standout products like the Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm, Cleanance, Hyaluron Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum, and Meltdown Gel Cream, they differ in their heritage and targeted benefits.
