La Roche-Posay vs No7

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

La Roche-Posay and No7 are well-established European skincare lines offering thoughtful serums, moisturizers, and eye products. The French brand harnesses glycerin, soothing thermal water, and niacinamide to suit oily skin and sensitive skin best, whereas the British brand relies on vitamin C, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid to fit mature skin and dry skin best. While both feature targeted formulas for acne-prone skin, dark spots, and aging concerns, they differ in their heritage and core ingredients, such as the latter brand using shea butter to protect skin and mitigate erythema.

La Roche-Posay is a French skincare brand founded in 1975 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1989.
