Avène and AlumierMD are distinct skincare lines created to address diverse dermatological needs. The French brand founded in 1990 is universally loved for its versatile moisturizers, reliable sunscreens, targeted serums, and gentle cleansers, suiting acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin best with nourishing glycerin. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand founded in 2016 is beloved for its advanced serums and scientifically backed formulas that suit sensitive, aging, and hyperpigmented skin best.
