# Biore vs Shiseido

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/biore-vs-shiseido

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

Biore and Shiseido are two Japanese skincare brands known for their thoughtful offerings and reliable daily care. The 1980 Kao Corporation-owned brand is beloved for sunscreens, cleansers, masks, and makeup removers, while the 1872 Shiseido Company, Limited-owned brand is beloved for moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), and more, all formulated with key ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin). Sensitive skin suits both best, alongside combination skin for the former and mature skin for the latter. They differ in their specific standout solutions and corporate ownership, with the former using effective formulas and the latter using meticulous formulations backed by clinical study findings showing that glycerin significantly improved stratum corneum hydration.

Biore is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by Kao Corporation.
