# Lancôme vs SK-II

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/compare/lancome-vs-sk-ii

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.

Lancôme and SK-II are established skincare powerhouses from France and Japan, respectively, that offer sophisticated moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), toners, and restorative masks. The French house is beloved for gentle compositions featuring [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [adenosine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/adenosine), while the Japanese brand is elevated by its signature ingredient, pitera. Both suit acne-prone and sensitive skin, but they differ in their primary active ingredients and targeted treatments for dark spots, aging, and hydration.

Lancôme is a French skincare brand founded in 1935 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1964.

SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991.
