# Medicube vs No7

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/medicube-vs-no7

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

Medicube and No7 are established skincare houses that offer distinct paths to complexion health. Medicube is a 2016 Korean brand known for moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), toners, and masks featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide), [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/collagen), and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), suiting dry and oily acne-prone skin. Conversely, the British brand No7 relies on [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/vitamin-c), [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/shea-butter), and hyaluronic acid across serums, eye products, and moisturizers to primarily benefit mature and dry skin. While both address diverse complexions, they differ in their heritage, core ingredients, and regional origins.

Medicube is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by APR Corp..
