KGaA since 2003, is known for its refined eye products, moisturizers, serums, and toners, while the latter is deeply cherished for its gentle moisturizers and thoughtfully composed formulas.

They differ primarily in their standout formulations, with the former featuring advanced treatments like the Skin Caviar Eye Lift, Skin Caviar Liquid Lift, and Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, and the latter earning praise through consistent, understated performance.
