Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/dhc-vs-skin-and-co

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

DHC and SKIN&CO are established skincare lines offering reliable daily care and thoughtful nourishment for a balanced complexion. The Japanese brand founded in 1980 is beloved for its effective makeup removers and nourishing formulas, including the Pore Cleansing Oil for acne-prone skin and the Deep Cleansing Oil for dark spots, suiting dry, normal, combination, and oily skin best. Meanwhile, the second line is known for deeply nourishing moisturizers and expertly crafted formulas like the Truffle Therapy [Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), suiting dry, normal, and combination skin best due to their balanced composition. While both brands maintain the natural equilibrium of the skin, they differ in their specific product types and target skin types.

DHC is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by ORIX Corporation since 2023.
