# Avène vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/avene-vs-elemis

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

Avène and Elemis are two established European skincare lines offering targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), rich moisturizers, and gentle cleansers formulated with hydrating [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin). Avène suits oily acne-prone skin best through science-backed preparations like the Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm, while Elemis suits dry skin and mature skin best using deeply restorative qualities found in items like the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/shea-butter). Ultimately, the French brand focuses on a calm and balanced complexion, whereas the British brand weaves together botanicals for refined daily care.

Avène is a French skincare brand founded in 1990 and owned by Fondation Pierre Fabre.
