# La Roche-Posay vs Allies of Skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/la-roche-posay-vs-allies-of-skin

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

La Roche-Posay and Allies of Skin are skincare brands offering nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), rich moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and targeted eye products. La Roche-Posay uses [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/glycerin), soothing [thermal water](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/thermal-water), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit mature skin and skin with dark spots best, whereas the latter utilizes potent ingredients like niacinamide to suit dry skin and mature skin best. Both brands differ because the first brand is a French skincare brand founded in 1975 and owned by L'Oreal S.A. since 1989, and its formulations help glycerin significantly increase skin hydration, thermal water reduce short-term adverse effects after laser resurfacing, and niacinamide significantly decrease hyperpigmentation, while the second brand focuses on improving skin aging signs and decreasing hyperpigmentation through rich hydration and targeted nourishment.

La Roche-Posay is a French skincare brand founded in 1975 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1989.
