# The Ordinary vs Clinique

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/the-ordinary-vs-clinique

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

The Ordinary and Clinique are distinct skincare brands under The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. umbrella that offer targeted solutions for varied complexions. The Canadian brand centers on [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane, suiting dry skin and dry sensitive skin best. Conversely, the American brand is widely loved for its moisturizers, serums, makeup removers, and eye products incorporating hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/caffeine), which suit dry sensitive skin and oily skin. While both rely on shared hydrating ingredients to support skin health, they differ in their specific formulations and targeted approach to individual skincare concerns.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
