# Avène vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/avene-vs-elemis

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

Avène and Elemis are established European skincare brands founded around 1990, with the former originating in France and the latter in Britain. Both offer gentle cleansers, nourishing moisturizers, and targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), though the French brand relies on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin) and science-backed formulations for oily acne-prone skin, while the British brand harnesses glycerin and [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/shea-butter) for mature skin and dry sensitive skin. Ultimately, they differ because the former features standout solutions like the Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm and the Cleanance, whereas the latter provides luxurious treatments such as the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and the Pro-Collagen Tri-Acid Peel.

Avène is a French skincare brand founded in 1990 and owned by Fondation Pierre Fabre.
