Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

The Ordinary features serums, moisturizers, cleansers, toners, and more, built around hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane, while the Swiss brand is widely loved for its nourishing moisturizers and thoughtful formulas. Both fit sensitive skin best, with the Canadian brand also suiting combination skin and the Swiss brand suiting dry and irritated skin.
