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

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

KORRES and Bepanthol are two distinct skincare lines known for their nurturing moisturizers and cleansers. The Greek brand relies on ingredients like Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/grape), Greek yoghurt, and wild [rose](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/rose), serving dry and mature skin best alongside specialized options like the Santorini Grape Poreless Skin Cream for acne-prone skin and the Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser for dark spots. Meanwhile, the Swiss brand founded in 1944 and owned by Bayer AG since 2004 utilizes dependable formulas centered around the Derma line, making it a comforting choice specifically for dry and sensitive skin. While both preparations work gently to maintain daily complexion health, the former emphasizes botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/extract) for targeted concerns, whereas the latter focuses on restorative simplicity.

Bepanthol is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1944 and owned by Bayer AG since 2004.
