# Simple vs Lancôme

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

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.

Simple and Lancôme are established drugstore and luxury beauty houses originating from Britain and France, respectively. Simple is known for gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/glycerin), while the French brand is beloved for sophisticated moisturizers, eye products, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/serum), and toners featuring glycerin, [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [adenosine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/ingredients/adenosine). The British brand suits oily and acne-prone skin best, whereas the latter suits sensitive and acne-prone skin. Both brands differ in their founding eras, ownership, and target demographics, yet each offers tailored solutions for dark spots, mature skin, and breakouts.

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
