# Anua vs The INKEY List

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/anua-vs-the-inkey-list

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

Anua and The INKEY List are distinct skincare brands offering diverse moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), toners, and cleansers built around soothing and hydrating ingredients. The Korean brand features [heartleaf](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/heartleaf), [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) to best suit oily, acne-prone skin and skin with dark spots, while the British brand relies on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin) to suit dry and dry sensitive skin. Both houses differ primarily in their origin, key formulations, and targeted complexions.

Anua is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by The Founders Inc..
