# Weleda vs NEOCUTIS

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

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

Weleda and NEOCUTIS are Swiss skincare brands founded in 1921 and 2003, respectively. The first brand is widely loved for its rich moisturizers and meticulously crafted formulas, suiting sensitive skin best because of their gentle botanical bases. Meanwhile, the second brand is widely beloved for its refined [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum) and moisturizers, which utilize thoughtfully crafted formulas to nurture the complexion and suit mature, dry, and stressed skin best because of their deeply restorative properties. Ultimately, the two brands differ through their distinct botanical versus restorative approaches and targeted solutions for various skin concerns.

Weleda is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1921 and owned by Weleda AG.
