# La Prairie vs Hanhoo

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/la-prairie-vs-hanhoo

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

La Prairie and Hanhoo represent two distinct paths in skincare, with the former being a Swiss brand founded in 1978 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2003, and both celebrated for their advanced formulas and targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum). The Swiss house is beloved for its luxurious eye products, nourishing moisturizers, and refreshing toners that best suit mature and dry skin, whereas the latter is widely loved for gentle yet effective offerings that suit sensitive, dry, and combination skin best. While the first brand provides deep comfort and targeted refinement through balanced preparations like the Skin [Caviar](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/caviar) Eye Lift, Skin Caviar Liquid Lift, and Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, the second brand delivers reliable care for daily routines through dependable items such as the Blemish Patch and T-Zone Pore Patch.

La Prairie is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1978 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2003.
