# SK-II vs No7

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/sk-ii-vs-no7

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

SK-II and No7 are distinguished skincare lines from Japan and Britain, respectively. SK-II features moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), masks, and toners anchored by pitera, while the British brand offers serums, eye products, moisturizers, and sunscreens built around [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/vitamin-c), [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/shea-butter), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid). The Japanese brand suits acne-prone and dry skin best, whereas No7 products fit mature and dry skin. They differ primarily in their signature compounds and regional heritage, offering measured approaches to balanced complexions.

SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991.

## About the Lovi Fit

Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.

Lovi compares products by their fit scores, calculated from the full ingredient list with brand-independent rules its dermatologists and cosmetic chemists build and review, and personalizes every pick with AI trained on the real results of millions of users. Lovi trains its fit score models on a proprietary dataset built from more than 10,000 expert-labeled products and more than 100,000 simulated examples, following an internally consistent methodology presented at Cosmoprof, AMWC, and Skin of Color Update. Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
