# Trilogy vs ELIDEL

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/trilogy-vs-elidel

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

Trilogy and ELIDEL are distinct skincare lines offering targeted daily maintenance, with the former featuring high-performing moisturizers and gentle cleansers built for dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types, and the latter comprising gentle moisturizers and soothing formulas suited best for sensitive, dry skin. While the New Zealand-rooted brand is well known for standout preparations like the [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/vitamin-c) Ceramide Night Cream, [Rosehip](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/rosehip-oil) Cream Cleanser, and Line Smoothing Day Cream, the Swiss maker relies on carefully balanced compositions including [Pimecrolimus](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/pimecrolimus). Ultimately, these options differ in their specific botanical and pharmaceutical approaches to supporting complexions with varying needs.

ELIDEL is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Viatris Inc. since 2016.
