# Clinique vs Clarins

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/clinique-vs-clarins

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

Clinique and Clarins are two esteemed skincare brands offering thoughtful ranges of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), and eye products. The American brand, founded in 1968, incorporates [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/caffeine) to best suit dry sensitive skin and oily skin, whereas the French brand, founded in 1954, relies on shea and squalane to best suit sensitive skin and dry sensitive skin. Both houses provide standout solutions for acne-prone skin, skin with dark spots, and mature skin. Ultimately, they differ through their distinct heritage, targeted ingredients, and specialized formulations.

Clinique is an American skincare brand founded in 1968 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
