# Paula's Choice vs Estée Lauder

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-estee-lauder

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

Paula's Choice and Estée Lauder are American skincare brands known for offering cleansers, moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/serum), toners, and more, built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/vitamin-c). The first brand fits oily skin and combination skin best, while the second suits acne-prone skin and mature skin best. Both brands differ in their formulations, as the first brand's key ingredient glycerin significantly increased skin hydration and restored barrier function, whereas the second brand's use of hyaluronic acid lengthens the effect of botulinum toxin.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
