# Hada Labo vs SK-II

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/hada-labo-vs-sk-ii

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

Hada Labo and SK-II are Japanese skincare brands known respectively for hydrating toners, gentle makeup removers, and nourishing moisturizers, and for thoughtfully formulated moisturizers, nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), rejuvenating masks, and refreshing toners. Both brands suit dry skin and acne-prone skin best, as their solutions restore moisture and soothe irritation or gently nurture delicate complexions. They differ primarily in their ingredients, with the former driven by advanced science and the latter anchored by its signature ingredient, pitera.

Hada Labo is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 2004 and owned by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd..
