# Skintific vs NEOCUTIS

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/compare/skintific-vs-neocutis

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

Skintific and NEOCUTIS are two distinct skincare lines offering targeted daily care through carefully formulated moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens. Skintific suits oily acne-prone skin and combination skin best with products like its All Day Light Sunscreen Mist, 5X Ceramide Barrier Moisture Gel, and [MUGWORT](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/mugwort). Conversely, the Swiss brand suits mature, dry, and stressed skin best through its deeply restorative offerings, including the Bio Serum Firm and lumière. While both brands deliver balanced care to help restore natural radiance, they differ fundamentally in their ideal skin types and standout formulations.

NEOCUTIS is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 2003 and owned by Merz Holding GmbH & Co. KG since 2013.
