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

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

NEOCUTIS and Vasanti are distinct skincare brands founded in Switzerland and Canada, respectively. The Swiss line is widely beloved for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, which suit mature, dry, and stressed skin best through deeply restorative properties like those in the Bio Serum Firm and the lumière. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand is cherished for its gentle exfoliants that suit balanced, combination, and sensitive skin types best, with standout options like the Brighten Up! Exfoliator. While both utilize thoughtfully crafted formulas to nurture the complexion and deliver reliable results, they differ primarily in their formulation focus and ideal skin types.

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