# Biore vs KORRES

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/biore-vs-korres

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

Biore and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful formulas that nurture the complexion. The Japanese brand offers effective sunscreens, gentle cleansers, purifying masks, and efficient makeup removers suited best for combination and mature skin, while the other is widely loved for its moisturizers and cleansers tailored for dry and mature skin. Both provide targeted solutions like the UV Aqua Rich and the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream for acne-prone skin, the Makeup Remover Perfect Oil and the Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser for dark spots, and the Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser and the Bounce Firming Moisturizer for mature skin. Ultimately, the two lines differ in their heritage and specific product offerings while maintaining a shared focus on balanced, gentle care for varied complexions.

Biore is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kao Corporation.
