# Heliocare vs Trilogy

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/heliocare-vs-trilogy

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

Heliocare and Trilogy are two distinct skincare lines known for their specialized approaches to daily defense and nourishment. The Spanish brand Heliocare, founded in 2001 and owned by Cantabria Labs, offers protective sunscreens and advanced formulas featuring quick-absorbing textures that suit sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin best. Meanwhile, Trilogy is deeply loved for its thoughtful moisturizers and gentle cleansers, built on high-performing formulas that suit dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best. While both cater to sensitive skin, they differ in their primary focus, with the former delivering targeted sun defense and the latter providing restorative hydration.

Heliocare is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Cantabria Labs.
