# Sebamed vs Ceradan

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/sebamed-vs-ceradan

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

Sebamed and Ceradan are trusted skincare brands recognized for their scientifically designed formulas and thoughtful moisturizers, such as gentle cleansers and barrier-repair creams. The German brand founded in 1967 relies on a skin-neutral pH that suits sensitive, reactive, and problematic skin best, featuring standout products like the Facial Cleanser and Clear Face Care Gel for acne-prone skin and dark spots. Meanwhile, the other line features restorative offerings like the Cream and Skin Barrier Repair Cream that suit dry, irritated, and sensitive skin best. While both maintain a steady focus on barrier health through reliable, targeted solutions, they differ in their foundational approach to nurturing the skin back to health.

Sebamed is a German skincare brand founded in 1967 and owned by Sebapharma GmbH & Co. KG.
