# celimax vs SK-II

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/celimax-vs-sk-ii

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

celimax and SK-II are established skincare brands offering targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, toners, and masks. The Korean brand, founded in 2019, features carefully selected ingredients that suit sensitive skin and acne-prone skin best with gentle compositions. Meanwhile, the Japanese brand, founded in 1980, is known worldwide for luxury formulations anchored by its signature ingredient, pitera, which suit dry skin and acne-prone skin best. While both lines provide reliable results for daily routines through standout options addressing dark spots and mature skin, they differ in their foundational ingredients and regional origins.

celimax is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by ABSORBLAB Co., Ltd..

SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991.
