# Clinique vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/clinique-vs-elemis

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

Clinique and Elemis are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care. Clinique provides moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), makeup removers, and eye products featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/caffeine), suiting dry sensitive and oily skin best. Elemis curates nourishing serums, rich moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and refreshing toners anchored by glycerin and shea, aligning more naturally with mature and dry skin. While both utilize hydrating glycerin, the American brand incorporates caffeine for UV protection and wrinkle reduction, whereas the British brand relies on softening shea to reduce inflammation and relieve skin pruritus.

Clinique is an American skincare brand founded in 1968 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
