# Paula's Choice vs La Prairie

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-la-prairie

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

Paula's Choice and La Prairie are distinct skincare lines, with the American brand offering [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, and toners built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/vitamin-c), while the Swiss brand is beloved for refined eye products, moisturizers, serums, and toners. Paula's Choice fits combination and oily skin best, utilizing glycerin to significantly increase skin hydration and restore barrier function, whereas La Prairie suits mature and dry sensitive skin best. Both houses differ fundamentally in their origins, formulations, and targeted approaches to specific skin needs.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
