# SK-II vs Eminence Organic Skin Care

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/sk-ii-vs-eminence-organic-skin-care

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

SK-II and Eminence Organic Skin Care are two distinctive beauty lines known for nourishing formulas and gentle exfoliants, with the former anchored by pitera across its moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), masks, and toners. While the Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 suits acne-prone and dry skin best through standout solutions like the Genoptics Ultraura Essence, Facial Treatment Essence, and Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, the botanical preparations from Eminence Organic Skin Care also suit normal, combination, oily, and sensitive skin. Both lines offer considered care, though they differ as the former relies on time-tested efficacy to improve pore area, skin roughness, and redness.

SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991.
