The Japanese brand, founded in 2000, is beloved for its targeted serums and gentle preparations that suit acne-prone skin best, featuring the Acne Cream W for targeted breakouts. Meanwhile, the Swiss brand, established in 1921, is widely loved for its rich moisturizers with gentle botanical bases that suit sensitive skin best, offering Skin Food Light for targeted relief and Skin Food to address dark spots.
