# Simple vs KORRES

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

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

Simple and KORRES are two respected lines of daily skincare. The British brand founded in 1960 is known for gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) that suit oily and acne-prone skin best, while the latter is widely loved for its thoughtfully formulated moisturizers and cleansers that suit dry and mature skin best. Both offer targeted preparations, with the former providing the Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner, Micellar Cleansing [Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/water), and Micellar Water, and the latter offering the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream, Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser, and Bounce Firming Moisturizer. They differ primarily in their core formulations, as the British brand relies on niacinamide to reduce hyperpigmentation and improve aging signs alongside glycerin to improve hydration and barrier function, while KORRES works gently to nurture the complexion.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
