# KORRES vs NEOCUTIS

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

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

KORRES and NEOCUTIS are two distinct skincare lines known for nurturing the complexion through thoughtfully formulated preparations. The first brand is widely loved for its moisturizers and cleansers, suiting dry skin and mature skin best with standout items like the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream, the Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser, and the Bounce Firming Moisturizer. Conversely, the Swiss brand founded in 2003 is beloved for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, which ideally suit mature, dry, and stressed skin due to deeply restorative properties found in choices such as the Bio Serum Firm and the lumière. While both work gently, they differ in their specific targeted offerings and exact formulation heritages.

NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
