# Bioderma vs Simple

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

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

Bioderma and Simple are esteemed skincare brands originating from France and Britain, respectively. Bioderma offers thoughtful moisturizers, makeup removers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), and cleansers formulated with nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), making them best suited for dry and combination skin. Meanwhile, the British brand provides gentle moisturizers, soothing makeup removers, dependable cleansers, and refreshing toners enriched with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin to suit oily and mature skin. While both rely on glycerin to boost hydration and strengthen barrier function, they differ in their specific formulations and regional origins.

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