# Sesderma vs Ceradan

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/sesderma-vs-ceradan

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

Sesderma and Ceradan are distinct skincare lines created for diverse complexions, with the former originating in Spain in 1989 and currently owned by Grupo Sesderma since 2026. The Spanish brand is known for advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum) and meticulously engineered formulas featuring botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/extract) and active compounds that refine texture and promote radiance, suiting sensitive, hyperpigmented, and aging skin best, with standout options like the Azelac RU Serum for acne-prone concerns. Conversely, the latter is widely loved for thoughtful moisturizers and scientifically designed formulas that restore comfort and nurture skin back to health, suiting dry, irritated, and sensitive types best through gentle and restorative care, including the Cream for acne-prone skin and the Skin Barrier Repair Cream for dark spots. While both offer targeted solutions, they differ through the distinct strengths of their active ingredients and specialized product types.

Sesderma is a Spanish skincare brand founded in 1989 and owned by Grupo Sesderma since 2026.
