# Avène vs Elemis

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/compare/avene-vs-elemis

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

Avène and Elemis are distinct skincare brands originating from France and Britain, respectively. The French brand is known for versatile moisturizers, reliable sunscreens, targeted [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum), and gentle cleansers formulated with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/glycerin), while the British brand offers thoughtfully formulated serums, moisturizers, cleansers, toners, and more harnessing glycerin and shea. The former suits acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin best, whereas the latter suits mature skin and dry sensitive skin best. They differ primarily in their core geographic origins, ownership, and precise ingredient combinations designed to address varied dermatological needs.

Avène is a French skincare brand founded in 1990 and owned by Fondation Pierre Fabre.
