# Simple vs KORRES

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/simple-vs-korres

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

Simple and KORRES are distinct skincare brands designed for different routines, with the former originating in Britain in 1960 and joining Unilever PLC in 2011. Simple features gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners utilizing [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/glycerin), which suit oily and acne-prone skin best by improving hydration, barrier function, hyperpigmentation, and aging signs. Conversely, the latter brand is celebrated for its thoughtful moisturizers and cleansers driven by scientifically crafted formulas, suiting dry and sensitive skin best through nourishing compositions. Ultimately, both lines differ in their ideal skin types and ingredients, offering targeted daily care for various complexions.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
