# Paula's Choice vs Caudalie

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/compare/paula-s-choice-vs-caudalie

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

Paula's Choice and Caudalie are two skincare brands founded in 1995 that offer [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum), cleansers, moisturizers, toners, and more. The American brand is built around [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/glycerin), and [vitamin c](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/vitamin-c), while the French brand is driven by botanical formulas. Both brands suit different needs, with the former fitting acne-prone skin and oily skin best, and the latter suiting dry skin and skin with dark spots best. They differ primarily in their core approaches, as the former relies on targeted ingredients like glycerin to increase hydration and restore barrier function, whereas the latter consistently delivers gentle efficacy through each thoughtful formulation.

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