# CeraVe vs Augustinus Bader

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/cerave-vs-augustinus-bader

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

CeraVe and Augustinus Bader are two distinct skincare lines offering thoughtful formulations for diverse complexions. The American brand is universally loved for its moisturizers, cleansers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and sunscreens featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin), which suit dry skin and acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the German brand is celebrated for its moisturizers, serums, eye products, and specialized formulas tailored primarily to mature skin and oily acne-prone skin. While both share an emphasis on targeted treatments like the [Foaming](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/foaming) Facial Cleanser and The Rich Cream, they differ significantly in their founding heritage, [proprietary](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/proprietary) ingredients, and price points.

CeraVe is an American skincare brand founded in 2005 and owned by L'Oréal since 2017.
