Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/aesop-vs-niod

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

Aēsop and NIOD are distinct skincare makers that offer thoughtful solutions for various complexions. The Australian botanical line is widely loved for its thoughtfully formulated moisturizers, cleansers, and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), suiting balanced, combination, and sensitive skin best with standouts like the B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel, Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum, and [Damascan Rose](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/rose) Facial Treatment. Conversely, the Canadian scientific brand is known for advanced serums and balancing toners, suiting mature, sensitive, and dry skin best with standouts such as Modulating Glucosides and [Superoxide Dismutase](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/superoxide-dismutase) Saccharide Mist. While both brands support overall skin health and resilience through rigorous development, they differ in their core ingredient philosophies and targeted product types.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
