# Skintific vs facefacts

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/skintific-vs-facefacts

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

Skintific and facefacts are two distinct skincare lines with dedicated followings for daily routines. Skintific is warmly loved for its thoughtfully formulated moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens that suit oily acne-prone skin and oily skin best, while the British brand facefacts is known for nourishing cleansers and targeted formulas that suit dry, normal, and combination skin best. Both options feature standout items like the All Day Light Sunscreen Mist, the 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisture Gel, the [MUGWORT](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/mugwort), and the Hydrating Gentle Cleanser, yet they differ because its key ingredients maintain the natural moisture balance specifically for the latter.

facefacts is a British skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by Brand Masters B.V. since 2026.
