# Cetaphil vs Shiseido

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

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

Cetaphil and Shiseido are prominent skincare brands that offer thoughtful arrays of cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), and more, formulated with nourishing ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin), [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide), and [panthenol](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/panthenol). The American brand, founded in 1947, suits combination skin and acne-prone skin best with its balanced compositions, while the Japanese brand, founded in 1872, suits sensitive skin and mature skin best. Both brands differ in their specific heritage and targeted formulations, as the former is owned by Galderma Group AG and the latter by Shiseido Company, Limited.

Cetaphil is an American skincare brand founded in 1947 and owned by Galderma Group AG.
