Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/skintific-vs-fancl

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

Skintific and FANCL are distinct skincare lines offering effective formulas designed for daily use. The first brand is loved for its moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens, whereas the second is a Japanese brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kirin Holdings Company, Limited since 2024, known for its thoughtful makeup removers and gentle exfoliants. Skintific suits all skin types best, featuring standout items like the All Day Light Sunscreen Mist for acne-prone skin, the 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisture Gel for skin with dark spots, and the [MUGWORT](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/mugwort) for mature skin. Conversely, FANCL suits sensitive, dry, and normal skin types best by offering mild care without harsh irritations, featuring the Facial Washing Powder for acne-prone skin and the Mild Cleansing Oil for skin with dark spots. Both brands ultimately differ in their formulation approaches and target skin profiles while providing reliable daily solutions for maintaining balanced skin.
