# NEOCUTIS vs the purest Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/neocutis-vs-the-purest The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada. NEOCUTIS and the purest are skincare lines that offer refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum) and gentle moisturizers using thoughtfully crafted formulas to nurture the complexion. The Swiss brand, founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013, suits mature, dry, and stressed skin best through deeply restorative properties like its Bio Serum Firm for acne-prone skin and lumière for dark spots, whereas the second option suits sensitive, dry, and combination skin best owing to a mild nature that offers reliable daily support for acne-prone skin. While NEOCUTIS delivers balanced, gentle care that helps restore natural radiance through consistent application, the purest continues to earn praise through consistent, understated performance. NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
