Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-the-inkey-list

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

Paula's Choice and The INKEY List are skincare brands offering [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, toners, and more. The American brand is known for [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/vitamin-c), suiting combination skin and oily skin best, while the British brand is known for glycerin, suiting sensitive skin and combination skin best. Both brands feature glycerin, which significantly increased skin hydration and restored barrier function. They differ in their founding years, ownership, and specific top-rated formulas for acne-prone, dark spot, and mature skin concerns.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
