# Skintific vs NIOD

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

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

Skintific and NIOD are distinct skincare lines offering targeted daily solutions for diverse complexions. Skintific is celebrated for its soothing moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens featuring effective ingredients like ceramides and [mugwort](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/mugwort), which suit oily acne-prone and combination skin best. Conversely, NIOD is a Canadian brand known for its sophisticated advanced serums and balancing toners that cater primarily to mature, sensitive, and dry skin. While both deliver reliable results through thoughtful development, they differ in their core formulations and the specific skin types they naturally accommodate.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
