# Kiehl's vs Garnier

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/kiehl-s-vs-garnier

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

Kiehl's and Garnier are legacy L'Oréal subsidiaries offering distinct approaches to everyday wellness. The American house is known for moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), toners, and eye products featuring [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin) and squalane, suiting dry and sensitive skin best, whereas the French label is beloved for makeup removers, masks, and cleansers harnessing glycerin and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/salicylic-acid) to best support oily and acne-prone skin. While both share a parent company, Kiehl's focuses on nourishing formulations to increase hydration and restore the barrier, while Garnier provides targeted solutions to reduce blemishes and actively support the complexion.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.

Garnier is a French skincare brand founded in 1904 and owned by L'Oréal since 1965.
