# Lancôme vs SK-II

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/lancome-vs-sk-ii

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

Lancôme and SK-II are established skincare houses recognized for their comprehensive collections of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), toners, and targeted treatments. The French brand relies on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [adenosine](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/adenosine) to best support sensitive and mature skin, while the Japanese brand centers its luxurious formulations on pitera to nourish dry and combination skin. Although both offer standout solutions for acne-prone skin, dark spots, and aging concerns, they differ fundamentally in their signature active ingredients and ideal skin types.

Lancôme is a French skincare brand founded in 1935 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1964.

SK-II is a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1980 and owned by The Procter & Gamble Company since 1991.
