# NIVEA vs Hada Labo

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/nivea-vs-hada-labo

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

NIVEA and Hada Labo are heritage skincare brands recognized for nourishing moisturizers, targeted formulas, and protective lotions. The German line relies on skin-softening [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin) to suit sensitive and mature skin, while the Japanese line centers on advanced hydration to benefit dry and acne-prone skin. Both brands deliver essential moisture and support a healthy skin barrier through thoughtful ingredients. They ultimately differ in their regional origins, founding years, parent companies, and primary product focuses.

NIVEA is a German skincare brand founded in 1911 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004.
