Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Pixi and Trilogy are established British skincare brands founded in 1999 that offer thoughtful ranges of moisturizers, cleansers, toners, serums, and eye products built on gentle and effective formulas. While the former suits oily skin and sensitive skin best with standouts like the Glow Tonic, Glow Peel Pads, and Retinol Tonic, the latter is known for suiting dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best through offerings such as the Vitamin C Ceramide Night Cream, Rosehip Cream Cleanser, and Line Smoothing Day Cream. Both deliver reliable results, differing primarily in their targeted daily offerings and the specific skin types they serve.
