# KORRES vs NIOD

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

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

KORRES and NIOD are distinct skincare lines, with the former widely loved for its thoughtful moisturizers and gentle cleansers drawing on the rich heritage of botanical formulas, and the latter widely loved for its advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) and balancing toners featuring sophisticated formulas that deliver targeted results. Both suit sensitive and dry skin types best, while the first also suits normal and combination skin, and the second also suits mature skin. They differ because the first brand uses carefully selected ingredients working harmoniously to support the natural balance of the complexion, whereas the second brand continues to redefine modern skincare through scientifically rigorous and thoughtful development.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
