# La Prairie vs Valmont

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/la-prairie-vs-valmont

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

La Prairie and Valmont are esteemed Swiss skincare houses known for their refined formulas and luxurious moisturizers, eye products, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and toners. While the former suits dry skin and mature skin best, with specialized options like the Skin [Caviar](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/caviar) Eye Lift for acne-prone skin, the Skin Caviar Liquid Lift for skin with dark spots, and the Skin Caviar Luxe Cream for mature skin, the latter favors mature and dehydrated skin alongside the Prime Renewing Pack for acne-prone skin. Ultimately, both brands differ as the first offers targeted serums and refreshing toners, whereas the second focuses on delivering lasting comfort and gentle care to the complexion.

La Prairie is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1978 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2003.
