# Bioderma vs Galderma

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/bioderma-vs-galderma

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

Bioderma and Galderma are established European skincare brands founded in 1977 and 1981, respectively. The French brand is known for its moisturizers, makeup removers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), and cleansers formulated with nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), while the Swiss brand focuses on serums. Bioderma suits dry skin and combination skin best, whereas Galderma products fit oily skin and combination skin best. They differ primarily in their product ranges and target skin types, with the former relying heavily on glycerin to improve hydration.

Bioderma is a French skincare brand founded in 1977 and owned by Jean-Noël Thorel Foundation since 2018.
