# The INKEY List vs ISDIN

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/the-inkey-list-vs-isdin

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.

The INKEY List and ISDIN are distinct skincare brands offering targeted moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), toners, eye products, and more. The INKEY List is a British brand founded in 2018, known for glycerin-based formulas that suit sensitive skin and combination skin best. Conversely, ISDIN is a Spanish brand founded in 1975, celebrated for sophisticated formulas that likewise suit acne-prone skin and combination skin best. While both brands feature standout products for specific concerns like dark spots and mature skin, they differ in their origin, founding era, and foundational ingredients.

The INKEY List is a British skincare brand founded in 2018 and owned by Brand Evangelists for Beauty Limited.

## About the Lovi Fit

Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.

Lovi compares products by their fit scores, calculated from the full ingredient list with brand-independent rules its dermatologists and cosmetic chemists build and review, and personalizes every pick with AI trained on the real results of millions of users. Lovi trains its fit score models on a proprietary dataset built from more than 10,000 expert-labeled products and more than 100,000 simulated examples, following an internally consistent methodology presented at Cosmoprof, AMWC, and Skin of Color Update. Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
