# Clarins vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/clarins-vs-elemis

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

Clarins and Elemis are established European skincare houses that offer luxurious moisturizers, potent [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), and gentle toners enriched with nourishing shea. The French brand suits sensitive and dry sensitive skin best with formulations featuring squalane, whereas the British brand suits dry and mature skin best through preparations combining [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin) and shea. Both lines feature standout treatments for acne-prone skin, dark spots, and mature concerns, but they differ in their foundational heritage, specific key ingredients, and precise targeted benefits.

Clarins is a French skincare brand founded in 1954 and owned by Famille C (Groupe Clarins).
