Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/sesderma-vs-environ

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

Sesderma and Environ are advanced skincare brands celebrated for their meticulously engineered formulas. The Spanish brand founded in 1989 and owned by Grupo Sesderma since 2026 is known for advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum) with botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/extract) and active compounds that refine texture and promote a radiant complexion, suiting sensitive, hyperpigmented, and aging skin best, with the Azelac RU Serum standing out for acne-prone skin. Meanwhile, the second brand is widely loved for luxurious masks and carefully crafted treatments that gently support overall skin health, suiting sensitive, dry, and mature skin best, with the Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque standing out for acne. They differ in their signature product types and specific key ingredients while both delivering targeted care.
