# Kiehl's vs Lancôme

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/kiehl-s-vs-lancome

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

Kiehl's and Lancôme are two prominent skincare brands owned by L'Oréal S.A., with the American label founded in 1851 and the French house established in 1935. Kiehl's is beloved for thoughtful moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), toners, eye products, and more incorporating [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) and squalane, suiting skin with dark spots and combination skin best. Conversely, Lancôme is deeply loved for its thoughtful array of moisturizers, eye products, serums, toners, and more formulated with glycerin, [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [adenosine](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/adenosine), which suit sensitive skin and mature skin best. While both utilize nourishing glycerin to support the skin, they differ in their targeted active ingredients and ideal skin types.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.
