# Paula's Choice vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-elemis

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

Paula's Choice and Elemis are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care through [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, and toners. Paula's Choice relies on ingredients like [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/vitamin-c) to support oily and mature skin, whereas Elemis incorporates glycerin and shea to best suit dry and mature skin. While both brands feature targeted solutions for acne-prone skin, dark spots, and aging, the American brand was founded in 1995 and emphasizes barrier function, while the British brand, established in 1989, is celebrated for its deeply restorative, nourishing qualities.

Paula's Choice is an American skincare brand founded in 1995 and owned by Unilever since 2021.
