# NIVEA vs Skintific

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/nivea-vs-skintific

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

NIVEA and Skintific are trusted skincare lines valued for daily barrier support and hydration. The German brand, founded in 1911 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004, is deeply loved for dependable sunscreens, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), and nourishing moisturizers formulated with hydrating [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/glycerin), suiting sensitive skin and skin with dark spots best. Meanwhile, the second brand is known for thoughtful formulations spanning targeted moisturizers, potent serums, and protective sunscreens, suiting dry skin and dry sensitive skin best. Both brands differ in their foundational ingredients and specific target audiences while offering reliable daily care.

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