# Neutrogena vs No7

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/neutrogena-vs-no7

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

Neutrogena and No7 are enduring skincare mainstays, with the American brand founded in 1930 and the British counterpart established in 1935. The former is universally loved for reliable moisturizers, sunscreens, cleansers, and toners formulated with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [dimethicone](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/dimethicone), while the latter offers [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), eye products, moisturizers, and sunscreens built around [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/vitamin-c), [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/shea-butter), and hyaluronic acid. Both suit mature skin best, though the first also fits combination skin and the second accommodates dry skin. They differ primarily in their specific target concerns and ingredient profiles, with the American label emphasizing barrier restoration and the British line focusing on nourishing protection.

Neutrogena is an American skincare brand founded in 1930 and owned by Kimberly-Clark Corporation since 2026.
