Our Pick
EasyDew
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8)
La Mav
La Mav sits in the Paula's Choice adjacency: active-forward but organic certified. The retinol serum is surprisingly potent for a certified-organic formula. Vitamin C Elixir is strong. Packaging is clean, the pricing is sensible. Rarely talked about outside Australia, which is the only real complaint.
Pros
- ✓ Retinol + vitamin C serums that actually work
- ✓ Organic certification + performance-focused formulas
- ✓ Reasonable pricing
- ✓ Strong online DTC presence in AU
Cons
- ✗ Limited US/UK distribution
- ✗ Brand awareness outside AU still small
- ✗ Some LOIs include natural preservatives that reduce shelf life
EasyDew
EasyDew is built on real medical chemistry — the brand was founded by Daewoong Pharmaceutical and uses pharmaceutical-grade EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), an ingredient most OTC skincare can't legally formulate with at this concentration. Olive Young named them their #1 'slow aging' brand in 2025, and Marie Claire flagged them as one of the K-beauty brands to watch.
Pros
- ✓ Pharmaceutical-grade EGF
- ✓ Olive Young #1 slow aging 2025
- ✓ Backed by real lab science
Cons
- ✗ Premium pricing
- ✗ Clinical-leaning aesthetic
