# Dr. Althea vs No7

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/dr-althea-vs-no7

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

Dr. Althea and No7 are established skincare brands from South Korea and the United Kingdom that offer thoughtful moisturizers, gentle cleansers, nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and specialized treatments. The Korean brand is known for soothing formulas driven by ingredients that suit dry skin and acne-prone skin best, featuring standout solutions like the Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser, the 345 Relief Cream, and the [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/vitamin-c) Boosting Serum. Meanwhile, the British brand relies on vitamin C, [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/shea-butter), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) within serums, eye products, and moisturizers that fit mature skin and dry skin best, including the Future Renew Damage Reversal Eye Serum, the Pure [Retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/retinol) Eye Cream, and the Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream. Ultimately, both offer distinct approaches to hydration and care, allowing every user to find a reliable path to healthier skin.

Dr. Althea is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2014 and owned by The Pure Lab Co., Ltd..

## About the Lovi Fit

Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
