Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/heliocare-vs-neocutis

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

Heliocare and NEOCUTIS are skincare brands known for protective sunscreens and refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), respectively. The former offers advanced formulas suited for sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin, while the latter features deeply restorative properties for mature, dry, and stressed skin. Ultimately, the two differ in their core offerings, as the Spanish brand prioritizes defense through specialized textures like the 360° Gel Oil-Free SPF 50+, whereas the Swiss brand focuses on balanced, gentle care for concerns like dark spots with the lumière.

Heliocare is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Cantabria Labs.

NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
