Our Pick
Hera
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8.5)
Skeyndor
Skeyndor is the brand Spanish facialists hand to clients leaving their first booked treatment — pro-grade skincare that has spent 60 years in clinic protocols before scaling to retail. The Eternal anti-aging line and Power Hyaluronic line are the most globally recognized; the Aquatherm sun line is a sleeper. Pricing is mid-to-premium, distribution leans clinic-and-spa over pharmacy.
Pros
- ✓ Clinic-grade formulations
- ✓ 60+ year heritage
- ✓ Strong professional facialist following
- ✓ Multi-line targeted skincare
Cons
- ✗ Branding leans clinical, not editorial
- ✗ Limited direct-to-consumer presence
- ✗ Some lines overlap
Hera
Hera is the AmorePacific-owned Korean luxury house that has produced one of the most photographed cushion compacts in beauty history (the Black Cushion) and a quietly excellent skincare lineup that doesn't get the same Sephora-front-row coverage as Sulwhasoo or Whoo. Premium pricing, Korean luxury heritage, formulations that earn their place at the top of any K-prestige routine.
Pros
- ✓ AmorePacific-backed luxury
- ✓ Black Cushion is iconic
- ✓ Strong skincare lineup beyond cushions
- ✓ Premium texture quality
Cons
- ✗ Luxury pricing across the board
- ✗ Less Western distribution
