# Anessa vs OPTASE

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/anessa-vs-optase

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

Anessa and OPTASE are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful formulations that support calm and comfortable daily routines. The Japanese brand, owned by Shiseido Company, Limited and founded in 1992, is widely loved for its advanced sunscreens like the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk for acne-prone skin and the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel for skin with dark spots, offering reliable daily protection that suits all skin types best. Meanwhile, the second option is deeply loved for its gentle makeup removers, including the Life Sensitive Eye Makeup Remover, featuring carefully balanced formulas that suit sensitive, dry, and irritated skin best due to their soothing and restorative qualities. Ultimately, both differ primarily in their focus, with the former providing comprehensive UV protection for general skin types and the latter offering targeted relief for compromised complexions.

Anessa is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1992 and owned by Shiseido Company, Limited.
