Simple and Azclear are two thoughtfully crafted skincare ranges known for supporting reactive complexions through gentle, targeted formulations. Simple is a British brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011, beloved for its soothing moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners featuring niacinamide and glycerin. Azclear is deeply appreciated for its soothing serums and balanced formulas, with the Medicated Lotion standing out for acne-prone skin. While both suit acne-prone skin best, the British brand also targets dark spots and mature skin, whereas its counterpart focuses on sensitive and reactive skin types through distinct ingredients.
