# Clinique vs Olay

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/clinique-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.

Clinique and Olay are established skincare brands known for offering thoughtful ranges of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), eye products, and cleansers. The former incorporates [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/caffeine) to suit dry sensitive skin and oily skin best, while the latter utilizes [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin to suit sensitive skin and acne-prone skin best. Ultimately, the two brands differ through their specific formulations, as the American brand owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 1968 features targeted solutions like the Clarifying Do-Over Peel, whereas both provide unique options for addressing dark spots, mature skin, and distinct complexion concerns.

Clinique is an American skincare brand founded in 1968 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
