Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/catrice-vs-neocutis

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

Catrice and NEOCUTIS are European skincare houses established in the early two-thousands, with the former originating in Germany and the latter in Switzerland. The German line is beloved for its refined eye products and advanced formulas, suiting combination, oily, and normal skin best, while the Swiss brand is widely recognized for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, which ideally nurture mature, dry, and stressed skin. Through thoughtful formulations, both deliver reliable daily performance, though they differ as the first features standout options like the Under Eye Brightener for acne-prone skin, whereas the latter offers specialized choices such as the Bio Serum Firm and the lumière for dark spots.

Catrice is a German skincare brand founded in 2004 and owned by cosnova.
