# Estée Lauder vs Olay

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/estee-lauder-vs-olay

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

Estée Lauder and Olay are two beloved skincare brands offering thoughtful selections of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), eye products, cleansers, and more. Estée Lauder relies on hydrating elements like [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/glycerin), suiting mature skin and sensitive skin best, while Olay utilizes [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin to suit mature skin and acne-prone skin best. Ultimately, the brands differ through their distinct hero ingredients, as hyaluronic acid lengthens the effect of botulinum toxin, niacinamide improves wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin aging, and glycerin significantly increases skin hydration and barrier function.

Estée Lauder is an American skincare brand founded in 1946 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
