# SKIN&CO vs NIOD

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/skin-and-co-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.

SKIN&CO and NIOD are distinct skincare lines recognized for thoughtful development and targeted results. SKIN&CO is loved for deeply nourishing moisturizers and expertly crafted formulas, suiting dry, normal, and combination skin best with the Truffle Therapy [Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum) standing out for acne-prone skin. Conversely, the Canadian brand NIOD, founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021, is widely known for advanced serums and balancing toners featuring sophisticated formulations that suit mature, sensitive, and dry skin types, alongside specialized options like Modulating Glucosides and [Superoxide Dismutase](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/superoxide-dismutase) Saccharide Mist. While both maintain the natural equilibrium of the complexion, they differ as the former relies on balanced composition for everyday care, and the latter uses scientifically rigorous solutions to redefine modern skincare.

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