Galderma vs No7

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Galderma and No7 are skincare brands, with the Swiss brand founded in 1981 and owned by Galderma Group AG, and the British brand founded in 1935 and owned by Sycamore Partners since 2025. The former specializes in serums featuring ingredients like those in the Epiduo Gel, fitting oily skin and combination skin best, while the latter offers serums, eye products, moisturizers, sunscreens, and more built around vitamin C, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid, suiting mature skin and dry skin best. Both brands differ in their specific formulations and target concerns, where Lovi rates the Epiduo Gel highest for acne-prone skin from the first brand, and the Future Renew Damage Reversal Eye Serum highest from the second brand.
