# Kiehl's vs ISDIN

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/kiehl-s-vs-isdin

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

Kiehl's and ISDIN are esteemed skincare brands that offer thoughtful moisturizers, advanced sunscreens, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), and soothing eye products. The American brand, founded in 1851, incorporates nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) and squalane to suit skin with dark spots and combination skin best, featuring standouts like the [Calendula](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/calendula) Herbal-Extract Toner, Calendula Deep Cleansing [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/foaming) Face Wash, and Ultra Facial Toner. Meanwhile, the Spanish brand, founded in 1975, relies on meticulously crafted formulas to suit dry skin and combination skin best, with notable choices including Fusion [Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/water), Eryfotona Actinica, and K-Ox Eyes. While both brands excel in daily care, they differ through distinct heritages and specific ingredient approaches that address unique skin concerns.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.
