# celimax vs The INKEY List

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/celimax-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.

celimax and The INKEY List are independent skincare brands founded in 2019 and 2018, respectively, offering thoughtful formulations like [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, and toners. The Korean brand features carefully selected ingredients that suit sensitive and acne-prone skin best, while the British brand builds its lineup around [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin) to fit dry and dry sensitive skin. Both lines provide targeted options for specific needs, differing primarily in their core compositions and ideal skin types.

celimax is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by ABSORBLAB Co., Ltd..
