# Kiehl's vs Pixi

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/kiehl-s-vs-pixi

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

Kiehl's and Pixi are skincare brands that offer thoughtful moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), toners, eye products, and more. Kiehl's incorporates nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycerin) and squalane, suiting skin with dark spots and combination skin best, while the British brand is crafted with gentle and effective formulas that suit oily skin and sensitive skin best. The American brand delivers targeted formulations for specific needs, whereas its counterpart provides reliable results for a calm, radiant complexion.

Kiehl's is an American skincare brand founded in 1851 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 2000.
