# The INKEY List vs No7

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/the-inkey-list-vs-no7

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

The INKEY List and No7 are British skincare brands offering diverse moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), eye products, and more. The INKEY List focuses on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin) to support sensitive and acne-prone skin, whereas No7 utilizes [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) to suit mature and dry skin. Both labels differ in their core formulations, with the former brand emphasizing barrier restoration and the latter incorporating shea butter to protect skin and mitigate erythema.

The INKEY List is a British skincare brand founded in 2018 and owned by Brand Evangelists for Beauty Limited.
