# Good Molecules vs Simple

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/good-molecules-vs-simple

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

Good Molecules and Simple are an American skincare brand founded in 2019 and a British skincare brand founded in 1960, respectively. The former is widely loved for its [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, eye products, and exfoliants formulated with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin) and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), while the latter is lovingly known for its gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin. Both brands suit acne-prone skin best, though the first also suits dry skin, and they differ through their distinct ingredients and origins.

Good Molecules is an American skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by Beautylish, Inc..
