Charlotte Meentzen
Charlotte Meentzen is the German skincare brand that has been a Dresden cosmetic-school institution since 1936. The brand still operates from its founding family, with formulations rooted in classical European cosmetic tradition — botanical-extract serums, clinical-grade moisturizers, multi-active anti-aging lines. Mid-to-premium pricing, distribution focused on German pharmacy and specialist beauty retail.

- ✓ Clinical formulation rigor
- ✓ Strong German pharmacy distribution
Cons
- ✗ Limited distribution outside Germany

Mediheal
Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running — beating more than 3,000 brands.
