# Neutrogena vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/neutrogena-vs-elemis

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

Neutrogena and Elemis are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily hydration and barrier support. The American brand, founded in 1930, is widely loved for moisturizers, sunscreens, cleansers, and toners relying on [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [dimethicone](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/dimethicone), which suit dry and mature skin best. Meanwhile, the British brand, founded in 1989, is celebrated for nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), rich moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and refreshing toners anchored by glycerin and [shea butter](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/shea-butter), catering similarly to mature and dry complexions. While both brands support moisture retention, they differ through their specific formulations, with Neutrogena emphasizing barrier protection and Elemis focusing on restoring suppleness.

Neutrogena is an American skincare brand founded in 1930 and owned by Kimberly-Clark Corporation since 2026.
