EasyDew
Higher editor rating (8.7 vs 8.6)
Sesderma
Sesderma is the Valencia-based dermocosmetic house that pioneered mass-pharmacy liposomal skincare. Founded in 1989 by dermatologist Dr. Gabriel Serrano, the brand's signature is its liposomal/nanosome encapsulation technology — actives carried inside microscopic phospholipid vesicles that protect them from oxidation, deliver them deeper into the epidermis, and reduce the irritation profile of harsher ingredients (vitamin C, glycolic acid, azelaic acid). The visual signature is the tinted serums: C-Vit's orange tint, Acglicolic's distinctive shade — these aren't dyes, they're the natural colour of the encapsulated molecules. The lineup spans nearly every active class (vitamin C, AHAs, azelaic acid, retinoids, peptides), each in liposomal format. Spanish derms' first-line referral for at-home actives.
Pros
- ✓ pioneered mass-market liposomal/nanosome encapsulation in dermocosmetics
- ✓ C-Vit, Acglicolic, and Azelac Ru are category-defining liposomal serums
- ✓ tinted formulations — the colour is the active, not added dye
- ✓ founded by a practising dermatologist — clinical credibility built in
Cons
- ✗ liposomal claims often outpace the independent evidence base
- ✗ the liposomal-everything strategy can muddle which formulations are genuinely innovative
- ✗ premium pricing for what is still a pharmacy-channel brand
- ✗ international distribution outside Spain is patchy
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.
