# Trilogy vs NIOD

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

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

Trilogy and NIOD are distinct skincare ranges known for offering thoughtful moisturizers, gentle cleansers, advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum), and balancing toners built on high-performing and sophisticated formulas. Trilogy suits dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best, featuring standout products like the [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/vitamin-c) Ceramide Night Cream, the [Rosehip](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/rosehip-oil) Cream Cleanser, and the Line Smoothing Day Cream. Conversely, the Canadian brand owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021 suits mature, sensitive, and dry skin types best, offering targeted results through items such as Modulating Glucosides and [Superoxide Dismutase](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/superoxide-dismutase) Saccharide Mist. While both cater to overlapping skin types, they differ through the former's gentle approach and the latter's scientifically rigorous development.

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