Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/korres-vs-alumiermd

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

KORRES and AlumierMD are distinct skincare lines offering targeted daily care for varied complexions. The Greek botanical brand is warmly loved for its thoughtfully crafted moisturizers and cleansers, suiting sensitive and dry skin best through gentle, nourishing ingredients like Santorini [grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/grape), Greek yoghurt, and wild [rose](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/rose). Conversely, the Canadian scientific brand is beloved for advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum) and scientifically backed formulas that suit sensitive, aging, and hyperpigmented skin best with standout options like the Bright & Clear Solution. While both brands successfully refine texture and restore balance, the former focuses on botanical heritage for a healthy complexion, and the latter emphasizes clinical innovation to enhance natural radiance.

AlumierMD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by Alumier Group Holdings Limited / Alumier Labs Inc..
