# KORRES vs Bepantol

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

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

KORRES and Bepantol are two esteemed skincare lines celebrated for their nourishing moisturizers and gentle formulas. The Greek botanical brand offers thoughtfully crafted cleansers alongside its creams, featuring key ingredients that suit sensitive skin, dry skin, and mature skin best. Meanwhile, the Swiss brand founded in 1944 and owned by Bayer AG focuses primarily on soothing care tailored for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. While both deliver reliable daily care through standout options like the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream and Derma, they differ in their heritage and specific botanical concentrations.

Bepantol is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1944 and owned by Bayer AG since 2005.
