# The Ordinary vs Avène

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

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

The Ordinary and Avène are distinct skincare lines created to support various complexions through targeted formulations. The Canadian brand centers its offerings on [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and toners featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/glycerin), and squalane, whereas the French brand is universally loved for versatile moisturizers, reliable sunscreens, targeted serums, and gentle cleansers formulated with nourishing glycerin. The former brand suits sensitive and dry sensitive skin best, while the latter brand suits acne-prone and oily acne-prone skin best by offering profound relief without heaviness. Ultimately, both differ in their regional origins, founding years, ownership, and specific ingredient combinations designed to address concerns like acne, dark spots, and mature skin.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
