# NIVEA vs Elemis

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

NIVEA and Elemis are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care. NIVEA is a German brand founded in 1911 that provides reliable sunscreens, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), and nourishing moisturizers formulated with hydrating [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), suiting oily skin and sensitive skin best. Conversely, Elemis is a British brand founded in 1989 that features serums, moisturizers, cleansers, and toners harnessing glycerin and shea, suiting mature skin and dry sensitive skin best. While both utilize glycerin to improve barrier function, the German brand focuses on gentle care for delicate barriers, whereas the British brand delivers deeply conditioning components for mature and dry types.

NIVEA is a German skincare brand founded in 1911 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004.
