# Dr. Althea vs Simple

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/dr-althea-vs-simple

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

Dr. Althea and Simple are two distinct skincare lines known for gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup removers formulated with key ingredients like [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin). The Korean brand suits dry and acne-prone skin best with soothing formulas, while the British brand suits oily and acne-prone skin best through thoughtful hydration. They differ in their specific heritage and targeted benefits, yet both offer reliable paths to healthier skin.

Dr. Althea is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2014 and owned by The Pure Lab Co., Ltd..

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
