# The Ordinary vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/the-ordinary-vs-elemis

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

The Ordinary and Elemis are two distinct skincare lines known for curated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners. The Canadian brand centers its formulations around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane to suit dry and dry sensitive skin, whereas the British brand weaves together glycerin and shea to deeply restore dry and mature skin. Both brands offer targeted solutions for acne-prone skin, dark spots, and mature skin, yet they differ in their foundational ingredients and overall heritage.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
