Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/heliocare-vs-maelys

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

Heliocare and MAËLYS are specialized skincare brands recognized for advanced formulas and targeted solutions. The Spanish brand by Cantabria Labs is known for protective sunscreens like the 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF 50+, which suits sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin best with quick-absorbing textures. Conversely, the other brand is celebrated for [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) that suit all skin types best, including the TOO-FINE for acne-prone skin and the RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for skin with dark spots. Both deliver thoughtful care, yet they differ because the former focuses primarily on sun defense while the latter offers specialized body and facial treatments.

Heliocare is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Cantabria Labs.
