Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/dr-barbara-sturm-vs-veetgold

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

Dr. Barbara Sturm and Veetgold are distinctive skincare collections known for nourishing moisturizers and expertly balanced formulas. The German label from 2014, owned by Puig since 2024, features gentle moisturizers, clarifying exfoliants, and nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) built on scientifically advanced formulas, while the second brand consistently delivers gentle, reliable care for daily routines. Dr. Barbara Sturm suits sensitive, dry, and balanced skin best with a focus on deep hydration and barrier support, whereas its counterpart suits dry, normal, and combination skin types best. They differ because the former brand relies on scientific advancement for targeted concerns like acne, dark spots, and mature skin with items such as The Good C [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/vitamin-c) Serum, the Enzyme Cleanser, and the Hyaluronic Serum, while Veetgold focuses on daily care alongside specialized options like the [Turmeric Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/turmeric) for acne-prone skin.

Dr. Barbara Sturm is a German skincare brand founded in 2014 and owned by Puig since 2024.
