# Clinique vs Biore

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/clinique-vs-biore

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

Clinique and Biore are well-regarded skincare brands from America and Japan, respectively. The American brand is loved for its moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and makeup removers featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin), and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/caffeine), while the Japanese brand is beloved for its thoughtful range of sunscreens, cleansers, and masks. Both suit sensitive skin and dry skin best thanks to their gentle formulations. They differ in origin and specific product offerings, with the American brand emphasizing targeted treatments for aging and hydration, and the Japanese brand focusing on daily cleansing and sun protection.

Clinique is an American skincare brand founded in 1968 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
