# Cetaphil vs Medik8

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/cetaphil-vs-medik8

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

Cetaphil and Medik8 are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care, with the American brand founded in 1947 and the British brand established in 2009. Both feature thoughtful lineups including cleansers, moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens, yet they serve different complexions best, as Cetaphil suits combination and oily acne-prone skin while Medik8 fits dry and dry sensitive skin. The first brand is widely loved for nourishing ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin), [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/niacinamide), and [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/panthenol) to balance moisture without congestion, whereas the latter is built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) to address various concerns.

Cetaphil is an American skincare brand founded in 1947 and owned by Galderma Group AG.
