# Neutrogena vs Olay

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/neutrogena-vs-olay

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

Neutrogena and Olay are American skincare options celebrated for addressing diverse needs with care. The former features reliable moisturizers, sunscreens, cleansers, and toners formulated with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/glycerin), [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), and [dimethicone](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/dimethicone), while the latter is beloved for its thoughtful array of moisturizers, eye products, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), and cleansers using [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/niacinamide) and glycerin. Neutrogena suits oily acne-prone skin and acne-prone skin best, whereas Olay suits dry skin and acne-prone skin best. Both brands differ in their standout active components and specific targeted formulations, such as the Daily Facial Moisturizer and the Super Eyes Daily Eye Serum.

Neutrogena is an American skincare brand founded in 1930 and owned by Kimberly-Clark Corporation since 2026.
