# The Ordinary vs Caudalie

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/compare/the-ordinary-vs-caudalie

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

The Ordinary and Caudalie are distinct skincare lines founded respectively in Canada in 2016 and France in 1995. The Ordinary centers its clinical [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners on [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane, while the French brand crafts botanical serums, refreshing toners, nourishing moisturizers, and targeted eye products from grape-derived formulas. Both options suit dry skin best, though the Canadian line also accommodates dry sensitive skin and the botanical brand addresses oily skin. They differ primarily in their formulation approach, as the first relies on targeted single-ingredient efficacy for acne, dark spots, and aging, whereas the latter utilizes natural [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/extract) for balanced hydration, clarification, and targeted concerns like the Vinopure Purifying Toner, the Vinoperfect Glycolic Peel Mask, and Premier Cru The Cream.

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