# facefacts vs MAËLYS

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/facefacts-vs-maelys

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

facefacts and MAËLYS are distinct skincare lines known for distinct botanical formulations and targeted care. The British brand founded in 2019 is loved for its nourishing cleansers and targeted formulas, suiting dry, normal, and combination skin best with key ingredients that maintain the natural moisture balance, while the other is loved for targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) and advanced formulas, suiting all skin types best. These specialized solutions differ as the former offers the Hydrating Gentle Cleanser for acne-prone skin, whereas the latter delivers thoughtful care through the TOO-FINE for acne-prone skin and the RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for skin with dark spots.

facefacts is a British skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by Brand Masters B.V. since 2026.
