No7 vs KORRES

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

No7 and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines offering targeted solutions for changing complexions. The British brand, founded in 1935 and owned by Sycamore Partners since 2025, features serums, eye products, moisturizers, sunscreens, and more built around vitamin C, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid, suiting mature skin and dry skin best. Conversely, the second brand is widely loved for its thoughtful moisturizers and cleansers, which draw on the rich heritage of its scientifically crafted formulas to suit dry skin and sensitive skin best owing to their gentle, nourishing compositions. While both lines provide effective daily care, No7 utilizes protective shea butter to mitigate erythema, whereas KORRES relies on scientifically crafted formulas for dependable daily balance.
