# Avène vs Biore

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/avene-vs-biore

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

Avène and Biore are two distinct skincare lines known for gentle, targeted formulations that support varied complexions. The French brand founded in 1990 specializes in soothing cleansers, protective sunscreens, gentle moisturizers, and targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) infused with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycerin), serving oily acne-prone skin and combination skin best. Conversely, the Japanese brand founded in 1980 offers thoughtful sunscreens, masks, makeup removers, and cleansers crafted for sensitive skin and oily skin. While both promote a balanced and refreshed complexion, they differ in their heritage and specific ingredient focuses.

Avène is a French skincare brand founded in 1990 and owned by Fondation Pierre Fabre.
