# Biore vs KORRES

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/biore-vs-korres

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

Biore and KORRES are two distinct skincare lines known for gentle compositions that support daily routines with understated care. The Japanese brand founded in 1980 offers sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and makeup removers featuring effective formulas that suit sensitive skin and skin with dark spots best, whereas the latter is celebrated for thoughtful moisturizers and cleansers drawing on scientifically crafted formulas that suit dry skin and sensitive skin best. While both rely on gentle, nourishing compositions for dependable daily care, they differ in their specific focal points, with the first providing targeted solutions like the UV Aqua Rich, Makeup Remover Perfect Oil, and Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser, and the second offering formulations such as the Santorini [Grape](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/grape) Poreless Skin Cream, Greek Yoghurt [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/foaming) Cream Cleanser, and Bounce Firming Moisturizer.

Biore is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kao Corporation.
