# Caudalie vs Medik8

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/caudalie-vs-medik8

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

Caudalie and Medik8 are established skincare brands offering [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, eye products, and toners. The French brand, founded in 1995, relies on botanical formulas that suit dry skin and dark spots best. Meanwhile, the British brand, founded in 2009 and owned by L'Oreal Groupe since 2025, builds its range around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) to fit dry skin and dry sensitive skin. Both lines differ through their distinct ingredient approaches, delivering gentle efficacy across their thoughtful formulations.

Caudalie is a French skincare brand founded in 1995.
