# Azclear vs Sesderma

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/azclear-vs-sesderma

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

Azclear and Sesderma are carefully balanced skincare lines known for their advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), soothing formulas, and targeted active ingredients. Azclear suits sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive skin types best, featuring its Medicated Lotion, while Sesderma suits sensitive, hyperpigmented, and aging skin types best, featuring its Azelac RU Serum. Both brands offer thoughtful formulations that work to gently nurture and balance the complexion, but they differ in their specific botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/extract) and active compounds designed to refine skin texture and promote radiance.

Sesderma is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 1989 and owned by Grupo Sesderma since 2026.
