Of course our Biotulin and KOSHO skincare ranges are naturally active, with proven results. Each is innovative in its own right. Biotulin is made in Germany, the vegan KOSHO in Switzerland. But the question remains: which is better for your skin and your skin goals? Check out this guide comparing the core products of the Biotulin & KOSHO rituals to help you decide...
1. The Cleansers
Micellar...
Micelles act like magnets to draw away dirt and impurities from the skin. Conveniently applied to cotton pads and gently wiped across the skin, micellar cleansers do not need water or harsh rubbing. This makes micellar cleansers suitable for all skin types regardless if dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin. Biotulin be:clean 4-in-1 Micellar Cleanser also contains witch hazel extract to tone skin and hemp seed oil, a "dry oil" which balances and reduces redness.
...vs Mousse
The vegan KOSHO Creamy Cleansing is a gentle, cleansing mousse. Based on plant-derived surfactants which cleanse without stripping the skin. It is also suitable for all skin types including sensitive/dry skin. However, rosemary and poplar bud extracts regulate sebum production, so if you are prone to oily or combination skin and prefer the feel of a "deeper clean" this cleanser is a better match for you, as it also balances skin and reduces the appearance of pores.

2. The Plumping & Hydration Hero
Gel...
Biotulin® Supreme Skin Gel is the natural, needle free alternative to injectables - made famous by Duchess Kate & Michelle Obama. However, the skin gel is applied topically and is natural, safe and simple to use.
Based on an extract from the paracress plant (spilanthol) combined with hyaluronic acid, its effect on the skin is to relax the facial muscles, leading to visibly smoother skin. However unlike neurotoxin injections, it does not numb and freeze facial expression.
The skin gel can be applied to the whole face or specific areas of concern and works best on mimic lines such as frown lines, forehead lines, or lip lines. Due to its suitability for sensitive skin, it is even ideal around the eyes to target crow’s feet. Clinically proven: to reduce depth of lines by up to 25% within 1 hour.
...vs Serum
KOSHO Full Hydration Serum should also be applied to cleansed, dry skin and followed up with a moisturiser and UV-protection. Used twice daily (morning & night) this 30ml bottle of KOSHO Full Hydration Serum lasts approx. 8-10 weeks. While it does not contain the muscle-relaxing paracress extract, instead it provides deep skin hydration and plumping from four types of hyaluronic acid. Organic matcha extract protects against oxidative-stress, environmental factors and ageing. Prickly Pear Extract replenishes and hydrates the skin, while Schisandra/ Magnolia Berry Extract reduces redness for a more even skin tone.

3. The Eye Cream
With Hemp Seed Oil...
Biotulin® eyeMATRIX Eye Cream with hemp seed oil is ideal for targeting wrinkled, reddened, or puffy skin around the eyes. Hemp seed oil is rich in vitamins A and E, and contains certain minerals that skin loves - such as magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Biotulin® eyeMATRIX combines the unique, naturally active, clinically proven skin-smoothing ingredients of the original Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel with the skin-nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties of hemp seed oil. Visibly reducing wrinkles, puffiness and redness around the eyes, for a fresher, more youthful look.
...vs With Matcha Extract
KOSHO Eye Lifting Serum nourishes and acts within the deeper layers of the skin. Plant extracts from red algae, paracress, and of course the unique, organic matcha immediately brighten the eye area for a fresher look, as well as having a threefold effect:
- reducing muscle tension and firming the eye area
- reducing the formation of fine lines longterm
- providing the skin with important antioxidants to protect against cell damage.
Precious tsubaki oil from the Japanese camellia is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids and also moisturises the delicate eye area. Skin immediately becomes visibly firmer and its appearance younger.

4. The (UV-Protecting) Day Cream
UVA & UVB SPF30...
The skin-smoothing Biotulin UV30 Daily Skin Protection Cream includes SPF30 UVA and UVB protection, as well as the naturally active, skin-smoothing Biotulin ingredients and plant-derived squalane for a smooth, non-greasy feel and finish.
...vs Natural UV-Protection
For a lighter, deeply active day cream, try: KOSHO Smart Protection Cream. Kosho does not use conventional (chemical or mineral) sun protection filters, but a natural substance that is formed by bacteria in nature. While the natural sun protection of Kosho Matcha Effective Cosmetics cannot be classified with the usual sun protection factors (SPF) it would be equivalent to approximately SPF15. The unique, organic matcha extract also naturally protects skin from UV- and light-induced skin ageing. Japanese Crocus Extract strengthens the skin, restoring its natural protection barrier. Collagen and elastin production is activated for smoother, plumper, nourished skin.

5. The Night Cream
Daynite...
Biotulin® Daynite24+ Cream is a skin-smoothing day and/or night moisturiser, specifically formulated for combination with the skin gel for best results. Shea butter protects skin against environmental damage and nourishes the skin. Antioxidant-rich grape seed oil protects against ageing, while plant-derived squalane ensures a light, non-greasy formulation – suitable for all skin types and a silky feel.
...vs Deep Regeneration
The nourishing KOSHO Deep Regeneration Cream with exclusive organic matcha extract, Japanese crocus and precious oils activates the skin’s own repair system and provides intensive moisture.
It visibly reduces wrinkles and improves the skin’s ability to absorb and store moisture. Working against the signs of aging, it regenerates the skin deeply and gives it new vigour and energy.
Japanese crocus extract activates the production of collagen and elastin through cellular communication, increasing the strength and elasticity of the skin. Skin looks younger, brighter and softer.

...vs Exfoliation
Did you know that skincare absorbs up to 70% better when applied after an exfoliation? So this isn't really an "either/or" as ideally you incorporate both these products into your skincare routine. KOSHO Multi-Effect Peeling contains biodegradable bamboo and rice micro-particles, to provide a gentle, yet effective exfoliation suitable even for sensitive skin.
The result: improved skin texture and radiance. Organic matcha extract naturally protects skin against oxidative-stress and ageing. Precious oils in KOSHO Multi-Effect Peeling simultaneously nourish the skin leaving it feeling silky smooth and hydrated. Best used 1x weekly.
