# Avène vs Olay

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

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 Olay are two distinct skincare lines known for thoughtful moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), cleansers, and eye products. The French brand Avène relies on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin) and science-backed formulations to suit oily, acne-prone skin best, featuring standouts like the Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm, Cleanance, and [Hyaluron](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum. Meanwhile, Olay features nourishing [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin to suit sensitive skin and acne-prone skin best, with standout items such as the Super Eyes Daily Eye Serum, Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream, and Brightening Eye Cream. While both brands support a calm and balanced complexion, they differ through their specific ingredient blends and targeted solutions for mature skin and dark spots.

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