# Good Molecules vs The INKEY List

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/good-molecules-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.

Good Molecules and The INKEY List are well-regarded skincare brands offering thoughtfully formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, eye products, and more. The American brand is known for utilizing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/glycerin) and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), suiting combination and oily acne-prone skin best with balanced formulations that address excess oil without heaviness. Meanwhile, the British brand builds its products around glycerin and fits dry skin and dry sensitive skin best. While both brands center their offerings on hydration and barrier support through shared and distinct key ingredients, they differ in their targeted ingredient profiles and ideal skin types.

Good Molecules is an American skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by Beautylish, Inc..
