Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/allies-of-skin-vs-a

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

Allies of Skin and A+ are notable skincare lines offering carefully crafted moisturizers and targeted formulas. The former is loved for its advanced eye products and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) infused with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/niacinamide), which suits dry skin and oily acne-prone skin best with items like the Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist, Peptides & Antioxidants Firming Daily Treatment, and Peptides & Omegas Firming Eye Cream. The Indian brand founded in 1990 is instead widely beloved for its gentle moisturizers and mildly composed products that suit sensitive skin best, highlighted by the 345 Relief Cream for acne-prone skin. While both reliably support daily moisture balance, Allies of Skin addresses dark spots and mature skin, whereas A+ focuses on a mild composition.

A+ is an Indian skincare brand founded in 1990.
