# KORRES vs NIOD

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/korres-vs-niod

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Arab Emirates.

KORRES and NIOD represent two distinct approaches to daily skincare, balancing botanical heritage with scientific innovation. The Greek botanical brand is warmly loved for its thoughtfully crafted moisturizers and cleansers, suiting sensitive and dry skin best through gentle, nourishing ingredients, while the Canadian laboratory offers advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) and balancing toners featuring sophisticated formulas. Both brands cater well to mature, sensitive, and dry skin types, yet they differ fundamentally as one relies on traditional plant [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/extract) for reliable daily care and the other delivers targeted results through rigorous development.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
