# Anua vs Avène

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/anua-vs-avene

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

Anua and Avène are skincare brands that offer moisturizers, toners, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), cleansers, and sunscreens. Anua, founded in 2019, features [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [heartleaf](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/heartleaf), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit dry skin and oily acne-prone skin, while the French brand Avène, established in 1990, relies on nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin) for acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin. Both labels address aging, dark spots, and blemishes through specialized formulations, though they differ in their foundational ingredients and regional heritage.

Anua is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by The Founders Inc..
