# Estée Lauder vs Galderma

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/estee-lauder-vs-galderma

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

Estée Lauder and Galderma are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care. The American brand provides moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), eye products, and cleansers with [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), suiting mature and sensitive skin best, while the Swiss brand focuses on serums that suit oily and acne-prone skin best. These offerings differ as the former relies on nourishing, hydrating compositions, whereas the latter specializes in targeted treatments like the Epiduo Gel and Benzac formulations.

Estée Lauder is an American skincare brand founded in 1946 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
