# Paula's Choice vs Neutrogena

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-neutrogena

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

Paula's Choice and Neutrogena are American skincare brands offering [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, toners, and more. The former suits oily skin and acne-prone skin best with formulations built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/vitamin-c), while the latter suits sensitive skin and mature skin best through thoughtful components like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and [dimethicone](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/dimethicone). Both brands rely on glycerin to significantly increase skin hydration and restore barrier function, but differ as Paula's Choice focuses on specialized treatments for specific concerns while Neutrogena provides universally loved daily essentials.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
