# Kiehl's vs La Prairie

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/kiehl-s-vs-la-prairie

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

Kiehl's and La Prairie are distinct skincare houses offering nourishing moisturizers, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), soothing toners, and gentle eye products. The American line relies on dependable ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin) and squalane to suit mature skin and sensitive skin, while the Swiss house is celebrated for sophisticated formulas that likewise comfort dry sensitive skin and mature skin. Both names differ in their heritage and approach, moving from the barrier-supporting properties of the first to the restorative rituals of the second.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.

La Prairie is a Swiss skincare brand founded in 1978 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2003.
