# Simple vs Pixi

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/compare/simple-vs-pixi

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

Simple and Pixi are British skincare brands offering gentle, thoughtful formulations for daily routines. Simple, founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011, provides moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners enriched with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/glycerin) to suit acne-prone and oily skin, while Pixi, founded in 1999, is beloved for its toners, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum), eye products, and moisturizers that suit oily and sensitive skin. Both lines deliver targeted care through standout items like the Kind to Skin Soothing Facial Toner and the Glow Tonic, differing primarily in their specific ingredient strengths and foundational histories.

## About the Lovi Fit

Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.

Lovi compares products by their fit scores, calculated from the full ingredient list with brand-independent rules its dermatologists and cosmetic chemists build and review, and personalizes every pick with AI trained on the real results of millions of users. Lovi trains its fit score models on a proprietary dataset built from more than 10,000 expert-labeled products and more than 100,000 simulated examples, following an internally consistent methodology presented at Cosmoprof, AMWC, and Skin of Color Update. Levels from best to worst: Superior, High, Average, Low, Caution, Warning.
