# Dr. Althea vs Garnier

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/dr-althea-vs-garnier

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

Dr. Althea and Garnier are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care, with the former founded in 2014 and the latter in 1904. The Korean brand is known for thoughtful moisturizers, gentle cleansers, effective makeup removers, and nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum) driven by soothing formulas, whereas the French brand is loved for its approachable range of makeup removers, serums, masks, cleansers, and more, which feature formulations centered on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycerin) and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/salicylic-acid). Both suit acne-prone skin best, though the former also suits dry skin, while the latter also suits oily acne-prone skin. They differ because the former provides balanced hydration and calm comfort through items like the Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser, 345 Relief Cream, and [Vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/vitamin-c) Boosting Serum, while the latter utilizes glycerin to significantly increase skin hydration and barrier function and salicylic acid to significantly reduce acne lesions and relapses through items like the Vitamin C Brightening Night Serum, Vitamin C Eye Cream, and Vitamin C Brightening Serum.

Dr. Althea is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2014 and owned by The Pure Lab Co., Ltd..
