# NIVEA vs KORRES

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

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

NIVEA and KORRES are two respected skincare brands offering thoughtfully formulated moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum). NIVEA suits sensitive skin and oily skin best with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), while KORRES suits dry skin and mature skin best. Both brands rely on expert preparations to nurture the complexion and improve barrier function, though they differ in their specific botanical and scientific approaches.

NIVEA is a German skincare brand founded in 1911 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004.
