Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/elidel-vs-endocare

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

ELIDEL and Endocare are distinct skincare brands originating from Switzerland and Spain, respectively. The Swiss brand is beloved for its gentle moisturizers and soothing formulas containing [pimecrolimus](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/pimecrolimus), suiting sensitive and dry skin best, while the Spanish brand is known for nurturing moisturizers and sophisticated formulas featuring advanced scientific ingredients tailored for mature and dry skin. Both offer reliable daily options for skin maintenance, though the former features standout preparations for acne-prone skin and the latter relies on the Tensage Cream for similar concerns.

ELIDEL is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2001 and owned by Viatris Inc. since 2016.
