The Ordinary vs Valmont

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

The Ordinary and Valmont are distinct skincare brands founded in Canada in 2016 and Switzerland in 1985, respectively. The Canadian brand offers serums, moisturizers, cleansers, and toners built around hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane, while the Swiss brand is widely loved for its luxurious moisturizers and refined formulas. The former suits dry skin, dry sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, dark spots, and mature skin best, whereas the latter suits mature and dehydrated skin best. They differ because the first focuses on specific targeted concerns with ingredients like niacinamide, mandelic acid, and lactic acid, while the second focuses on delivering lasting comfort and gentle care to the complexion.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
