# Good Molecules vs Avène

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

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

Good Molecules and Avène are distinct skincare brands founded in the United States in 2019 and France in 1990, respectively. Both brands offer thoughtful ranges of [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, and sunscreens formulated with key ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin) and [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid). While the American brand suits dry skin and acne-prone skin best through gentle formulations addressing moisture and clarity, the French brand suits oily acne-prone skin and acne-prone skin best with science-backed formulations ensuring a calm and balanced complexion. They differ primarily in their ownership and regional origins, with Beautylish, Inc. owning the former and Fondation Pierre Fabre owning the latter.
