# La Roche-Posay vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/la-roche-posay-vs-elemis

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

La Roche-Posay and Elemis are established European skincare houses offering nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), rich moisturizers, and gentle cleansers. The French brand is loved for formulations with soothing [thermal water](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/thermal-water) and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/niacinamide), while the British brand is celebrated for products anchored by softening shea. Both options suit mature skin best, though they differ as the former relies on targeted active ingredients for dark spots, and the latter uses hydrating [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin) to restore suppleness.

La Roche-Posay is a French skincare brand founded in 1975 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1989.

Elemis is a British skincare brand founded in 1989 and owned by L'Occitane Group since 2019.
