# Medicube vs Shiseido

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/medicube-vs-shiseido

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.

Medicube and Shiseido are prominent skincare brands from Korea and Japan, respectively. The first brand offers moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), toners, and masks featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide), [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/collagen), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), while the second brand provides moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, and serums utilizing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin). Both brands suit oily or mature skin types, yet they differ because the Korean brand targets excess sebum and acne-prone skin, whereas the Japanese brand focuses on gentle daily care for sensitive and mature skin.

Medicube is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by APR Corp..
