# facefacts vs NIOD

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/facefacts-vs-niod

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

facefacts and NIOD are two distinct skincare lines, featuring nourishing cleansers and targeted formulas from the British brand versus advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) and balancing toners from the Canadian brand. Both utilize key ingredients to maintain natural moisture balance, while the former suits dry, normal, and combination skin best and the latter favors mature, sensitive, and dry skin types. Ultimately, the brands differ through the former's focus on gentle daily care and the latter's scientifically rigorous approach to targeted results.

facefacts is a British skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by Brand Masters B.V. since 2026.
